| 1/6 6:30pm | Creating team web page I saved the team home page template to a file and then used Front Page to fill in the name of our team. I spent 10 minutes looking for a clip art logo for our team and added that to the page. I removed all the hyperlinks since we don't have anything for them yet. I logged in to the Waldorf account which I received from the instructor and uploaded the home page HTML file. |
| 7:10pm | When I try to browse to it, I keep getting "Access
Forbidden."
I double checked to make sure it was in the proper directory and had
the
correct extension. I reread the directions and it says something about permissions but I don't know what that is. I went to the course resources page and found a link to common UNIX commands. There I found "Prevent or allow access by others to your files or directories: chmod " I discovered to make a file publicly readable: chmod og+r filename.html It works! I can browse to it now. |
| 7:40pm | I emailed the URL to the instructor as required. I still have to make a contact page. Note: Get AIM nicknames for everyone to put on contact page. Note: Ask instructor if animated GIF's are okay for the team home page. |
Instructor comments on the above example:
Usually entries such as Note above should be listed
as Action Items.
Sun Java Tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html
This site is great. The tutorials are short, easy to read, and
have actual example code.
For the hangman project I had to use Reflection and the tutorial had
exactly what I needed.
| 1/7 9:15pm | My personal list of expectations for our team discussion: Don't be late for meetings, or at least tell somebody if you aren't gonna be on time. Read your email at least once a day. |
| 1/9 3:45pm | I'm feeling very uncertain about my assignment to
create the
data dictionary. I'm not sure what data I'm supposed to include. |
| 1/20 9:00am | Design Work On the opposite page is my draft list of "candidate classes" for our class design. I wrote down all the nouns from the problem description, then combined those that were obvious duplicates and removed ones that were clearly not problem related. I'll bring this to the meeting with Jeff to discuss our initial design ideas. Time: 30 min. |
| 1/22 6:30pm | Lesson Learned: Don't rely on Instant Messenger
We skipped out of lab early on Thursday, planning to work our
the details
of our assignment over Instant Messenger on Friday afternoon. It really
didn't work very well. If it had really been just details,
perhaps
it would have worked. But the fact is that we actually had more complex
misunderstandings than just technical details and Instant Messenger
just
doesn't work for discussing complicated ideas. As a result everyone was
still confused about what to do for the assignment and the result was
an
inadequate solution. |
