Week_2

Week summary

This week I was working on several things:

• testing conference connection (we had troubles with it last week)
• finding a way to save this site under the class archive (getting a static .html copy)
• helping my classmates to get into documenting their progress
• getting to know new computer aided modelling tools
• modelling the first approximation of the final project
• thinking up and documenting a possible_final_project for the course

Diary - Thoughts and experiences

This week brought some really happy, heavy snowing days. Picture shows the view from the window in author's apartment while preparing the documentation and working on the project.

This week brought some testing of conference software. Had to work with several clients like "linphone", and "ekiga". Having a fully featured connection to the class seems to be a major issue for us. Last time we had to use a view only mode without being able to interact with class.

As I'm using hatta-wiki engine rather than a plain html pages for my documentation there has to be a way to convert dynamic content into static pages. This time I'm using a simple "copy the whole website with documentation" approach to upload my progress to the class archive. Using "WebHTTrack Website Copier" under Ubuntu Linux for this purpose.

This week we devoted some time among fellow Russian fab academy students to discussion of the best way of documenting our progress. Hope everyone is happy with the results!

Another round of thinking over the concept of my final project. The concept I chose the first week is appealing, but it seems several weeks will be needed to finally decide on how to bring my ideas to life.
