What we did over last week

Poked around at making a Samba4 ActiveDirectory master on www to test, because I've long been unhappy with Apple's OpenDirectory, and I think the NAS would do both Windows and NFS (with Kerberos) sharing more correctly with AD. If it looks good, I'd want to get another Brix as a login server and use current slate as just a Mac desktop.
Set up a development server for CrowdExp so I can have people test changes as I make them. It's limited to UR and TWC Rochester (only local ISP I could find IP range for) to keep the outside world out.
Added two sample Shiny apps to our server: Dashboard Example and Flexdashboard example to demonstrate using Shiny Dashboards and R Markdown Flexdashboards

- Finalized analyses and wrote up results for VOT/vowel variation across talkers at different levels of grouping.
- (mostly) drafted intro and discussion for that paper/chapter, too.
Learned a bunch about non-standard evaluation with lazyeval, which is super handy for programming with dplyr and friends.
Inspired by lazyeval, made a bunch of small improvements/tweaks to my personal R package (daver) and to analysis package for the NSP vowels data. Stopped myself from making many more which were not immediately needed.

- Read some papers on the acquisition of adjectives. Wondered about whether or not children actually know that there are two categories of gradable adjectives (relative and absolute).
- Thought about my grant. Started writing.
- Met with Sarah to try recording for new naming study. Prosody is hard, guys.
