Coming out of Hibernation (Hopefully)

Picture
It has been many months since I have done any substantive work on the EWHADP.  My time and energy last semester were almost completely taken up by teaching (and all the preparation that goes with my first time handling a four-class load).  And I spent most of the free time I had over break doing some work on the issue of "ancient giants," which was a lot of fun. While I'm teaching again this semester, the burden of preparation is eased significantly because of all the work I did last semester.  Assuming I've calibrated my workload correctly, I'm going to have some time to get back to the database this semester.

Or, more accurately, I'm going to have time to help someone else learn how to work on the database.  Emily Gilhooly, one of my students from last semester, has started going through the database to re-code the structures using a new (hopefully more useful) set of fields created to describe basic aspects of structure shape and construction.  We're also coding time period in 500-year increments when possible. 

I don't know how long it will take to make an initial pass through the database to make these changes.  Next on the list after that is to start adding in new data.  I apologize to anyone who sent me data a long time ago . . . or sent me an email that I didn't respond to yet . . . I'm hoping with Emily's help I can get this project moving forward again.
