Today in ISR, Sneha, Angelina, and I decided that we are no longer going to work on the NASA Ames project. We came into the competition very late and then went from having 5 people to 3, and we have decided that we cannot expect to finish our paper before February 15th, yet alone have it be our best work. All of us have other projects that we need to focus our concentration on anyways so I believe that this is a good idea.
For the rest of class I practiced coding. In Unix, I learned how to set a new prompt. First you create a file called .bash_profile, then you type export PS1 = "_____". This creates a new prompt temporarily, but once you close your terminal it will disappear. To make it permanent you then have to create another file called .bashrc and like .bash_profile to it. This then makes it permanent. My new prompt is simply Brianna'sComputer: currently but I want to add in the date, time, current directory, and other stuff like that. In the unix textbook it gives a list of codes that add those to your new prompt but none of them work. In the next few days I want to do some research online and see if there is another way, perhaps a newer way as the textbook is really old.
