2007-07-15	jW	Over the scheduled time-off period jW updated the J3 UGR and transferred it to the Hubble server. He also consolidated the files on that server which are not relevant to this season's work. [Input: R716JW.j]
2007-07-22	jW	During the week jW will work with gB to validate the changes to the JD suite of programs and keep an up-do-date version of the J03 UGR on the server for other units to check. [Input: R722JW.j]
2007-07-21	jW	New programs were successfully tested by jW and the results posted on the server. [Input: R722JW.j]
2007-07-21	jW	jW recommended to gB that a separate category be created in the incidental file to deal with computer and data management issues such as the ones so far this season entered as issues in Methods and Techniques by J3. [Input: R722JW.j]
2007-07-22	jW	While running a module of the JD suite that enters the phase and stratum for each object, jW noticed that it treated q-lot sherds as objects and inserted stratigraphic data for them in the q-item section without any notation to indicate that they are from sherds. Stratigraphic data for sherds is not entered with the individual sherd as one would expect. [Input: R722JW.j]
2007-07-23	jW	At the daily meeting, gB introduced several methods for describing commonalities among elements that were not candidates for aggregation. One was to group the elements as an assemblage, coded as a b followed by a sequential number. The second was to discuss the commonalities on the left-hand side of the UGR. The third was to prepare a text file which describes the commonality and then link it to the elements that share it. [Input: R723JW.j]
2007-07-28	jW	While trying to prepare the strata log for the features in the east part of J3, features of the form "301.2" were entered. The JD program did not process them properly. [Input: R729JW.j]
