June 04, 2005It's been a whileFor the most part today, I worked on my project for one of my ICS classes. It's a GPS-based application that lets you compare different routes, may it be by driving, walking or hiking. Basically, recorded GPS coordinates of the routes you take (home to school/work, etc.) are then used to compare the routes graphically and statistically. As of right now, I'm trying to design it in a way that it will look nice, simple to use, but yet sophisticated. A complicated combination, I might add. It's all part of the User Interface designing process. Currently, it's not "dynamically" working yet, since one of my groupmates is working on the backend of things. So it's just a skeleton of the user interface right now as I'm good at making things look pretty! Hehe You can check out my work in progress by clicking on the link below... The reason why I brought this up, is because it's been a while since the last time I've designed and implemented a website. It took me a while to get my creative juice running again, and to recall all of my techniques or what not. Even now after messing with it for the whole day, I have yet to be up to par with what I used to be able to do so frequently and easily; the motivation/inspiration that I used to have before whatever happened almost a year ago is still a bit lacking...but anyhow, I've got to get back on track and get cracking. Moreover, David, again, I really appreciate that you're using your vacation time to get things going! The mailing-list seems to be working fine and the temp site is looking not bad. But too bad, apparently, most of the team members are hitting a few of life's obstacles and are trying to re-situate and cope with these obstacles, so it's going to be a bit slow right now. Anyways, thanks buddy. Later on in the afternoon, I was over at Derek's apartment for his birthday party. I was a little out of it for some reason, I think it was due to my being stressed out about school and my lacking of sleep this past week. It was fun nonetheless. Derek, you got pretty drunk, buzzed, or whatever you want to call it! Man, I've never seen you like this before, but it's all good, I hope you had fun. And yeah...it's not a^2 + c^2 = b^2...hahaha . Darren and Norm, thanks for planning and setting things up. You two are good friends! ------ Comments

It's not really working correctly yet but hopefully soon cuz it's due real soon. Derek, thanks for having me over! Yeah you were to say the least! Darren, let's not e-stalk plz...
