Chunks bitten off

Successfully bit off the chunks I wanted from the project - bit processing and masking (77 & 78). Wanted these for two reasons:
- First: The bit processing is more low level code than the high level code/concepts that will be documented throughout a lot of the rest of the book, and its similar to the area I have most experience in.
- Second: The mask work is something I haven't dealt with before, and as such will push me out of my comfort zone. It will deal with more sophisticated errors of image processing than I have seen to date, and will give me a good background in newer methodologies.

I'm looking forward to getting started on the project. Waiting patiently for the book token now to get a hold of the Greenberg text. I've started playing with the IDE and its pretty cool, looks like you can get a lot of advanced functionality for free, wondering now if there are similar (or the same) plugins for something for Eclipse, which would open things up even more...

Interesting....

Initial post on the OU Mass Writing Project

This blog will be used to track work done for the OU Mass Writing Project - details can be found at: http://incemasswriting.blogspot.com/. The project is a collaborative effort to create an academic book using current and past OU students.

I have applied for chunks 77 and 78 of the project, with a deadline of April 09. Check back for updates and more detailed posts, including current progress and submission/code status.
