Hordes of Inquiries, Pt. 2

I am pleased to report that I have made my - albeit small - first commit to the project repository. It encompasses a few updates to the comments in the medicalDevicePlugin.js file that follow the inheritance paths of a few objects and properties. Due to the unfortunate constraints of it being a Friday, most of my questions were meant to be directed to team lead Carl Desautels and will trherefore have to wait until early next week along with a corresponding pull request. The use of Cordova's methods in the javascript code remains relatively elusive and is thereby currently keeping me from being able to piece together the communications between the native code and the front end.

Migrating from git to hg commands was slightly funky, but not headache-inducing in terms of difficulty. Many of the verbs remain unchanged but some colloquialisms for how the API labels the branches and history is something to get used to, and worst comes to worst www.stackoverflow.com is always there to remedy most of the problems that anyone would face. At least I still get to use the git bash interface for command input, which is desirable.

Updating comments and documentation will continue for the next two weeks, and will be followed by executing and testing the environment on my phone to report and analyse any and all battery performance issues.

The biggest challenge being posed so far is having to deal with the lack of time I could spend with the team and API itself due to both the nature of set part-time hours and having to finish studies alongside this endeavour.

Here's to hoping for an even more productive output for the coming weeks, most likely in the cost of sleep -
