Last Blog Posting...

Well I never thought this day would come, the semester is coming to an end I will finally be graduating!! Super stoked!! It has been ALOT of hard work but well worth it. Since tomorrow is our last class this will be my last blog post for this class. I may continue this outside of class though...you never know??

This semester has been a great learning experience for me. Getting the class involved in open source projects is a great way to introduce us to real life tools and real life software. These large projects are complex and totally different than the little programs we have tackled before. So I am very thankful for this experience this semester!

Our project was moving along nicely until we ran into a snag at the end with loading the text into the Gwibber window. Apparently there is no straight forward way to do this. We have even been in contact with a Gwibber developer , Ken VanDine. He has provided several suggestions but none of which have worked out for us. It is kind of frustrating to be this close but stuck and running out of time...

Since we are running out of time, Jesse has created a basic window that posts to all social networks that are setup in the Gwibber social client. If we could get the Gwibber window to work, the user would have their choice of which network to post to. We have not given up quite yet though. We will keep chipping away at this up until our presentation. I am hoping for one last breakthrough...

Our team has set up it's rough draft for the presentation all written up. We still need to create the Prezi though. Jesse and I will be talking about the experiences portion of our presentation and Shaun and Kyle will handle the introduction to the project and software libraries that we used. We will also have a demonstration at the end of our presentation as well. We are going to show our plug-in in action by posting to Facebook from the Banshee media player. Neat!

Well that will wrap it up. Time to post this then print out my blog for school records....ADIOS!!!
