Wensday Feb. 17th
Today I decided to migrate my efforts on the machine learn app to new computer. This time, instead of using google colab, I am using the terminal and notepad++. Andy helped me set it up and we worked together to troubleshoot errors with missing libaries and other things. Though I got the part of the code the repackages the data into numpy arrays working, I ran into issues on the part of the code where the the images are modified to be the right shape and split into training and test data.

Today I ran into issues getting the computer to start. Thus the rest of the class was spent trying to help Will and Nick fix the fans on the computer.
By the end of class everything was fixed. I stayed alittle bit after class to try working on the program alittle more. I got the part of the code the failed before to work this time. Next the part of the code is to implement will be the actual neural network. Though as I tried to import the tesorflow library I found out that the version of python that I have is actaually "too new" for tensorflow to support. So then I figured out that I had to install anaconda so I can create a virtual enviorment where I can run an old version of python. I had trouble using powershell to get the hash value for the anaconda installation and this is about where I stopped.
Weekly summary
This week I made the switch from google colab (a machine learning platform that operates almost exculsively out of the cloud) to the text editor and terminal method. There are several pros and cons to making the switch. On one hand google colab allows me to work from any computer but on the other hand it is very inconsistant and slow. With the alternative method I get much more consistant results and can get more help from Andy and Will since they are more familiar with this method.
