August 1

Today was my most productive day in over a week, and its Friday, so I'm in a good mood!! Early this morning I tested and figured out how to erode the TIFF files. However, as I expected, it needed to be done one array at a time, and was a fairly long process. To repeat this process three times, for each of my 14 galaxies would have probably taken the next three days, and would have been tremendously tedious. Instead I wrote a short code that does the process for me. After finishing my code it took under an hour to run all my images through it, and they are now posted on Flickr. Plus, Nicole was able to use the code for her images as well, so it was a huge time saver. Plus we got free pizza again for the IS&T meeting today. All in all it was a good end to a frustrating week.
