little progress

So I hooked in my login saving information to the gui so I wouldn't have to re-enter it every time. I also helped figure out what went wrong in with Zynga's recent changes, and I tried running Justin's gui but found out that I don't have qmake in my path and so am downloading the full version of Qt4 to see if that will fix things. Ho-hum..

need sleep!

Unlike the last post (keep awake!), I really just need sleep. Today I got caught up in non-school business and so wasn't able to commit to the full 2 hours. I did get the PyQt stuff going on my system, though, so I should be able to kick it into gear tomorrow. I'm off to bed..

Keep awake!

I wrote a script to keep a mac awake, and also a script to keep a Windows machine awake. Surprisingly, the way to do so for each machine was hard to find... and ultimately unsatisfying for the mac.

I also used a shelver for storing persistent user data in the app.

Assignment: Test First

We need to spend a week where we test first, rather than code first, and make sure we can do it.

work on Saturday -- security verification

I re-wrote the PHP that returned the verification scheme so it has the hashes and values as originally outlined. Then I fixed the Python verifier to use the scheme to verify an email address.

working with flash and python

So I've found a way to embed flash movies in python. Yay.

The problem is it won't work with games. I will look here tomorrow to see if they have a way of doing it.

**UPDATE**
I checked out those links and all were broken. *SIGH*

Technology Business Plan Competition

Amr let me know about the TBPC which will be held tomorrow. We are too late to present our own ideas, but we can go there and learn from the current presenters and judges.

My business contact let me know that he was able to go to the Self-Employment Fair the Tuesday before last, when my car had broken down. He was able to talk with the President of the New Mexico Angels, John Chavez, for about half an hour one-on-one. Tomorrow he will be at the TBP Competition, so hopefully I can meet him then.
