The first week, I had big troubles with installing virtual box and setting up account with feedly, pidgin and twitter.
After Aaron's help, I realized I made a big mistake because I didn't read the instructions carefully enough. Other
than what the instructions said to change, all other selections should have been default when we creat a new virtual
hard drive. Right now I think I am getting it. I use google search if I have questions and ask friends. I try to use
ICR through Pidgin, I hope I can see people posting questions and helpful answers. But, as of right now, i have yet to
see that. I was really excited when I made a repo successfully, because the first time I forgot make a director. The
second time I typed the wrong name to commit. The third time, because the wifi problem, I wasted a lot of time to
figure it out why the file I made wouldn't show up. All these silly mistakes made me feel more understanding on how to
use it. I will remind myself to be more careful and not do these silly things again...
So I think my problem is that I hate to read instructions and sometimes I don't understand them, maybe it's because
English is my sacond language, and I'm very bad with computer language. The instructions to me, don't translate into any
image or language I can understand easily.
After this week, I think I have more confident to use github.

Reflections
===========
In last week, we talked about the good things in this class and some things we need to improve it. One thing I really
want to add to things we need to improve it which is we need feed back about the assignment. For the last reflection,
I totally forgot it which makes me feel so bad. If we have the assignment feedback, we can make sure we did it and how
we did it. Although we didn't have the project assignment, we started to communicate with others in group.
I already installed the virtual box and vagrant to run the python. To make sure I am in the right track, I'd like to
go the office hour or ask questions in group or GSI.
For the next week, I think I will have more problems after we start to do project. But I will put more effert and solve
it.

In this week, we had one guest come to present his research about the endangered species Toad. They collabrated 2
different datas. one is from the past years and one is new data collected by his students during last summer. This
is what we are looking for. Having this data, we need to collabrate and analyze them using diffent methods. His
presentation reminded me of my internship last summer. During my internship, we only used a short period time data, so
we couldn't see very strong relationships. we collabarated data from the past few years, and found the data we wanted.
Collabarating data was very important and useful . On Thursday, Phillip talked about earthquake prediction. To
understand more about this topic, I checked out this websit:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/kids/eqscience.php. It
helped me understand from the basics.
I have checked the assignment list already and made sure that I'm ready for the next class.

This week, I had problems to install ipython notebook again, I stuggled for a long time at home, but when I tried at school,
it worked and nothing wrong with it. I have no idea about it. Good thing is I don't have any problems about install software
right now. we started our firt project, I think we don't have enough time because Ipython is new for me. I need to learn
from scratch. what I can do is ask classmates or other friends, but none of them know ipython very well.
Our group went the office hour today, I learned a lot.

1. The relations between my loptop, virtualbox and virtual machine.
2. How can we read exampl.ipynb file in my ipython notebook.
First, make sure you already installed ipython notebook.
Second, in VM you need to clone the questionnaire repo: $git clone https://github.com/stat157/questionnaire.git ( in this step,
you can't just copy and paste the Address, so I typted it)
Third, change the directory to the questionnaire: $ cd questionnaire , list all the files and you can check it:$ls
Now we have the file example.cfg in our VM, we copy it and change name to stat157 : $cp example.cfg ~/stat157.cfg
Now we have file stat157.cfg in our homedirectory. Change the information in the stat157.cfg file $vi ~/stat157.cfg
Fourth, run ipython notebook $ipython notebook --no-browser --ip=0.0.0.0
open your browser, type: http://127.0.0.1:7777/ you should see the example.ipynb file, click it and under the "cell" click "run all"
3. what is "~" mean in the VM
~ means Home directory

Ok, Fixed it. Last time, I putted code which didn't work because:
1. when I renamed the file, I forgot .md file type.
2. when I sized the words, there were list Numbers in front of it, so it did't work.



# Big
## H2
```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
```

```python
s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s
```

```
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.
```
### H3
#### H4
##### H5
###### H6

Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:

Alt-H1

Alt-H2
------
Emphasis, aka italics, with *asterisks* or _underscores_.

Strong emphasis, aka bold, with **asterisks** or __underscores__.

Combined emphasis with **asterisks and _underscores_**.

Strikethrough uses two tildes. ~~Scratch this.~~

I noticed I didn't pull request for all my refections. Also there are only around 11 people
in our class did pull request. So I think we should let otehrs know.
Steps for turn in week refections.
step1. ##Fork repository http://github.com/Stat157/reflections
step2. ##create a new file ex: 2013-10-19.md
step3. ##write your reflection then commit it
step4: ## click the icon: compare and review

Last week, I have been trouble to get in class on time because the trafic. I spent almost 1 hour to get to school
and half hour to find a parking place. So I need to get much earlier in order to get class on time.
For the coming project, I still have questions about it.

1. what our ultimite goal?

2. Since we have horizontal groups, are we going to do the data curation as group?

3. How we group the vertical groups?

I will go to office hour tomorrow to figure out there questions.

Last week, I learned a lot from office hour. It's very benifical for going to office hour. I consider myself learning
slow because I hate read a book or instructions. I learn from talking and hand to hand learning. I don't mind spend more
hours to learn but it is very very slow and unefficient for selflearning. So I am very appriciated Aaron spend so many
hours on teaching me. Regardless what I can't do, I putted more effort on what I can do and what I could do. Last week,
I accomplished the following task:

1.Hunting earthquake data, find the elevent papers

2.We wrote a IPython notebook (which also generated a script ) which will download the gzip compressed ndk-formatted
data of the full data set from the CMT Catalog files page at http://www.globalcmt.org/

3.I did do do the same for the SCEC data: http://www.one-tab.com/page/EBoWiHe1TF-kOU1G1knTBg
(as shared with http://www.one-tab.com/) which is in a gzip-compressed tarball


Roadblocks:

1. Once I open an Ipython notebook under dirctor A, always goes that dirctor even if I want to open another

Ipython notebook under other dirctor. ##Easiest way: turn off the virtual machine than turn it on again.

2. How can I get the update github repo?

command **git pull**

3. After I make a new ipython note book, How can I git push to github?
...git add XX.ipynb
...git commit -m 'add XX notebook'
...git confit --global user.email ".....@gmail.com"
...git config --global user.name "XXXX"
...git status
...git push

4.Also I learned a lots keyboard shotcuts:

...Ctrl+c ----cancel program
...Ctrl+z ----stop program
...jobs ----list jobs in shell (check running and stop program)
...fg/bg ----sent program to front or back
...Alt+Tab----shell comes up
...Shit+Tab---remove indentation
...Ctrl+Enter-run cell
...Ctrl+s ---save

This week, I got seriously cold. I didn't learn much after class. But during class, I saw other classmates they did
very good jobs. Someone started form the class stucture for the last few week this semester. This is awesome idea which
I had it too. But they putted effort on it make this idea become the truth. I think my biggest roadblock is my english. I
Anyway, I can't improve my English in short periid of time. But I think I am going to make my SMART goal for the rest of
this semester. Gradually to complish my own goal for this class.


2013-11-09 office hour 1PM-4pm

1.check with Aaron about the Preliminary paper for earthquake data

2.learning Ipython basic skills

3.understand one code from analyzers.

Weekly Reflection
---

Up until now, our curator groups basically finished our tasks. We provited anaylers clean data from SCEC with
the right format they asked. We supported them through Email and github. From this week, We were also assigned to
other groups to help.
Alisha and I will join to vertualizer group and group members are:
**❤** ( [Repository]() & [S.M.A.R.T Goals]() )

- **Hong SHON** ( [tzenarr](https://github.com/tzenarr) )
- Hyung Kyu CHANG ( [hkchang89](https://github.com/hkchang89) )
- Sunghoon CHOI ( [shchoi](https://github.com/schoi) )
- Christina HO ( [chocoho](https://github.com/chocoho) )
- Jinsoo LEE ( [annyeongjs](https://github.com/annyeongjs) )

Also we will have have a meeting on this Saturday. We will make our SMART goal during the meeting. We already met on
thursday lecture, only 4 group members including Alisha and I. So I think we will have lots roadblocks later. None of
us have strong background with coding, ipyton,etc. They haven't done much, but I think we will make our SMART goal and
accomplish it. First, I think I can help them undertand how to use github and know how to do the basic tasks whcih we
have been doing. I think this class, one of the important things is communicaton. This class has no peer competition
presure, classmates include myself are very happy and willing to help others.

This week, our visualheart group set our SMART goal for this week and next week. Our group improved communication with
each other by email, github and facebook. Each one has small task for each week which is more functional and efficent.
I tried to run the code from the Quakers group. I had lots roadblocks during the task becasue they use R. First, I wrote
the Roadblock on the group github. Second, Alisha followed my steps and run the code, then wrote what we should improve
and help me to slove my problems. Third, Qi modified the R code and improved the graphs.

I can't make office hour this weekend becasue my car tire flated. Alisha will tell me what's my task after they figure
out after office hour.

For next week, I think I will support our group as usual. Follow our SMART groul, finish our task on time.

look back this semester, I have been through confusion, frustrated, motivated, sadness and happyness.
I think I improved my communication skills and self-learning skills. I noticed science reproducibility is very important
and also a major area scientist will be focused on. I learned github is very useful for scientist communicating. This is
my first time I wish I can be a real scientist. Although I didn't do lot about coding, I have interested in it and wish
one day I can be a real technical engineer. Ipython notebook is very powerful and useful for science presentation. I will
learn more other computer language from now on.

This week, before I went to class tuesday, I was really confident because I had all the tools on my computer
and I thought I was ready to go. But something just happened unexpected, I don't known what happened,
I can't login my vertual machine. I was pretty sure my login and password were correct because I wrote down in my notes
and I successfully login last week. This is really crush me down. I asked GSI, he suggested me to start it over again.
Oh my! Since I already did once, It's not difficult do to it again, which makes me feel the point we try to make in this
class which is learning is the process of solving problems. On thursday class, GIS and professor tried to explain what and
why we did in past 3 weeks. I understood some student thought our class may goes too slow and they couldn't wait to do
project any more. But this is the collabrated data science class, it requires more cooperation, so I am really preciate
professor try to keep all students on the same page before we do project. Right now, I fixed all the problems and I am ready
to do the next step.
