today I continued learning python from the online tutorial. Progress has been quite swift through the first few chapters and I am finding that I am understanding the basics with greater ease than the c++ tutorials ive been through - which is expected...I also had Professor Scavone's class today, in which we had a brief overview of basic Matlab filter design - very interesting :). This weekend I must travel to Ithaca and will be back early Monday, but am taking the tutorial with me as I hope to get through a large amount of it by the beginning of next week so I can write the script for the database of image samples for friday.
