Log

(approx) 46.5 hrs total.

13:00 - 18:00, 26 September 2010 Finished implementing a rudimentary Person based interface. Most of the logic is in a CLI class at the moment. Most of that will hopefully be moved somewhere else soon. There is also room to do something fun around different sub menus etc. (5 hrs plus a day or so from our week 'off'.)

?? - ??, 25-26 July 2010 Been working on my design study over last couple of days. Decided to implement something that works instead of mess around with the design. Who needs design anyway. Got something working, now doing lots of CLI stuff to expose the functionality to the user. Java serialisation is awesome. (2 days, bit of work, 14 hours is a conservative guess.)

11:00 - 10:30, 27 July 2010 Wow so today was a waste of time. I really need to get onto other projects. Got Eclipse Portable running on a local drive, pretty much just implemented a big, messy function to parse strings of the format described on my Whiteboard – pretty sure I will re-write it all again using the interpreter pattern. I didn;t think it was complicated enough, but my current implementation is way to complicated. + played with umbrello for generating code from UML. (10.5 marginally productive hrs)

20:00 - 01:22, 27 July 2010 More user stories, historycrumbs.js for Hatta and Mediawiki, filled out some user stories. (5.5 hrs)

17:00 - 19:00, 26 July 2010 Develop use case ideas (still a bunch more to come, and some overlap already). Some more expanding of existing classes. (2 hrs)

12:00 - 02:27, 25 July 2010 Looked at some more ways of structuring the few classes I have now. Decided composite won't work, now will chain (probably). Pretty much need to do it any way that will work and look at the issues that present themselves during further development. (2.5 hrs)

07:00 - 1:25, 23 July 2010 Playing with mediawiki, damn templates are confusing. Managed to get abbreviation tooltips going but only by using a <span title="Real Life" style="border-bottom:1px dotted">RL</span>. Bit of a time-waster. Sarted to define some of the base classes I will be using; Task, Person, Network. Need to find a pattern for these two, don't think composite will do it, but I need to confirm that. (6.5 hrs)

15:00 - 17:01, 22 July 2010 Wrote up Paul Clark's Design Study Lot of ideas, not much implementation. - Remember to concentrate on the basic classes - encapsulating the calender and schedular. Make it easy to order the the tasks chronilogically or by priority (or just design to the interface) (2 hrs)

xx:xx, 21 July 2010 Thought of a new idea (yay) after designing an implementation for my music tagger and finding that is was not sufficiently complex to get any respect from anyone in this course (3.5 hrs, some while working too)
