Fun with cues

Took a break from assignment madness today and took a look at the cues to see if i could make them more advanced, or more human readable. Now instead of just printing out a TIMESTAMP it says things like: "You last had your phone just after five" and "you last had your keys at a quarter to seven." Once i realised timestamp is 24 hour clock and not twelve, ooops, it all worked fine. Im happy enough with these for the moment. I think i'll also add something with the date. Instead of just saying "you had whatever on: 12/02/2008" it could say "you last had whatever last tuesday"

Meetings

Hi all. Had a meeting with Lorcan yesterday to discuss the presentations and whats happening next with the project. Lorcan was happy with how the presentation went, I just need to handle me nerves better :-) We also talked about my work plan for the project over the next few months. Im gonna focus more on course work for the moment and do some project stuff at weekends maybe. Theres three main things I want to work on. The cues need to be more advanced so im gonna look at this at the weekend. I'll be looking into using bluetooth which will be able to register people the system comes into contact with and also static blutooth locations. The last and probably most difficult part will be to integrate an LCD screen to the system. Have not decided exactly how this will be used yet, but want to get the other two parts out of the way first.

Presentations 2

We had our second fourth year project presentations yesterday. The idea was for everyone to present their work so far and also to give a demonstration. There was a bigger group this time watching the presentations but they all went really well. After everyone had finished presenting everyone gave practical demos of their work, which was cool taking a look at the other projects. Im happy with how my prototype is so far but i need to start thinking about what i want to do with it next. Got some cool ideas from Steve about using bluetooth so i'll be looking into this aswell. We have an interim report due in a months time so its probably not a bad idea to look at that now if i get a chance
