The weekend and Project Development

The weekend was a nice break from school and work. Ottumwa was pretty good. Not that many people there since one family went to Missouri family and another couple had to work. Food is always good there. We came back Friday night.

Saturday Meri called wanting to do something while she was in town. Meri, Gaila, Colin and I went to see the 10:40 PM showing of Harry Potter which let out just after 1:00 AM. It was nice to see her and hear what is going on.

Today brought back school and work. I still have a project at work due on the first. I have a current events presentation Friday, a games demo on Thursday, LANFest on Friday and a CS Club meeting on Wednesday that I want to go to. I also got another wireless access point to bridge the wireless in the apartment. Hopefully it will work this time. I'm also way behind schedule for jasonrearick.com, though the hard part is over, it's just having to find time to get it done. Oh yeah, and a 331 project due sometime.

Shaim (previously #aim) has been advancing quite well. Chris got OscarLib file transfers done at speeds that blow away GaimLib. OscarLib will probably have a test release in early December. Development on the client application Shaim will start planning again from scratch after finals centered around a plug-in system. Also around that time I will be in charge of the web site. We had discussed getting shaim.com just before break, then a domain squatter decided to gobble it up on the 25th before we even had the chance to get it. We have settled for shaim.net now.

Colin has started thinking a lot about ATX lately too. Last night we stayed up too late discussing stuff about ATX. He wants to start work on version 2 while I would like to see a stable 1.x before seeing anything started with 2. I wish I could actually do something with ATX, but I have been too busy to pickup Cocoa lately. I should stop any more PHP projects after shaim and just begin only working on learning Cocoa in my spare time.

Anyway, it's time to go home and setup a wireless bridge and chip away at homework and studies and what not.
