Stiff Upper Lip- week 3

I wanted to start off by mentioning that this has been a TOUGH week. I almost named my blog post this week ” Hard Knock Life!”, but I decided to focus on the positive aspect instead.

Monday and Tuesday

Crashing and burning, through the first two days. I had problems download two particular libraries- “matplotlib” and “scify”. I had to resort to using command prompt-I was very uncomfortable using it. After spending two days, just jumping from one video to another trying to find why my libraries were not working, I brought in my own laptop. No luck with that either.

Success!!!

Wednesday morning, I got some external help and finally got my libraries up and running in Sublime Text.  I spend the next two days trying to draw a rectangle, slicing the array from the rectangle to collect data for skin color changes in the forehead area.

How to add, average and collect data?

On Friday, I successfully got the data. Next, I need to check if I’m slicing it correctly. I need to store this data in a list. Then, graph it using matplotlib. I’ll be spending some time learning about matplotlib today. I’m somewhat content that I managed to collect data at least, considering how I started the week.

I’ll be attaching videos from my progress, even some that might be really simple- stuff I programmed in Week 1. Just to show how far I’ve come in my journey.

  1. Azka,

    I understand your struggle. I am in a similar position. Where my code is not stalling and presenting an error. I have spend that last 2 days trying to figure out the issue in the code. Hopefully, we will both be able to find solutions to our problems.

  2. I have seen the frustration, but your knowledge has clearly grown so the frustration is leading somewhere. Your positive attitude shows too. I appreciate that you think of the good side even when you’re frustrated.
