MS Capstone

Continuation

Kim — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:12:00 +0000

After some thought, I’ve decided to make a seperate blog for my continuing work on the calendar. It didn’t make sense for me to continue posting in this blog.

From my Capstone Defense:

Time to get back into the groove

Kim — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:47:28 +0000

I’m back and ready! I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole info vis thing. There are a lot of things that I want to accomplish and I want to do them all. So here is the plan of things I will do:

Come up with a list of terminologies that are being used and figure out how they fit together.
Lifestreaming. I am interested in the concept of lifestreaming and how people aggregate their online identities. If anything I am interested in the social aspect and the info vis. (more to come later)
Calendar – yes people I am going to make this happen.
Other…there are a few other ideas that are floating in my head.

Let the fun begin!

Officially done!

Kim — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:25:06 +0000

As of today, I am officially done with my capstone. I have submitted in the final write up and got the signatures required. YAY!! Now comes the fun part! I’m going to take off the rest of the year to focus on restructuring my various websites including this one. Next year, I will began again and will build this application. I don’t know if I will continue with the Sundial or go back to Life is a Highway. I will post all my documents online this weekend.

SO EXCITED!

The Final Ok

Kim — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:50:56 +0000

It’s official! I have the final OK to print my Final Write Up! WOOT!

Organizing, sketches, and such

Kim — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:55:30 +0000

I’ve sent out the paragraph to my Capstone Committee. Hopefully, that gets approved. I’ve decided to organize all my documents that I will need to burn on to the cd. One major aspect is my sketchbook. I’ve posted all my sketches online. You can visit the link up top to view them.

I am so close to being done!

So close..

Kim — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:01:45 +0000

According to Weez, I am one paragraph away from finishing! WOOT!

I am still alive!

Kim — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:56:59 +0000

Yes I am. I am in the process awaiting for feedback from my Capstone committe on my Final Write Up. Once that has been approved, the fun will begin!

Update: IT WILL get done.

Kim — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:44:31 +0000

Hello World! Yes, I know I have yet to update. I started my new job last week and things have been going well. I know I have been saying that I will finish up my final write up and I WILL!

I WILL have it done by this weekend (well at least the draft that will get sent to my Captone Committee). You are probably wondering what will be different. Well, let’s just say I am motivated NOW more than ever.

I’ve got many plans for this app once I finish this write up. One thing is incorporating the todo list. I personally view my todo list in a calendar format and have plans to try to incorporate this idea into the calendar app. As stated, I will be working from scratch again and oh yea it will be open source.

If you have ideas, suggestions, or want to partake, drop me a comment.

*Please note: I am building this app for purely selfish reasons. I’m tired of using current digital calendars and wish to build something that is useful and pretty!

Sundial Demo

Kim — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:28:28 +0000

Here is what you all have been waiting for! A link to my Sundial Demo. I’ve been busy working on my portfolio and final write up.

Some things to note on my demo:

This is only a DEMO! It’s not meant to be used as an actual application. It’s only a proof of concept.
Best viewed: 1024 x 768
How to navigate:
- only the buttons on the left and bottom are clickable
- in the Month View
  - the number 22 can be single and double clicked as well as the colored segment
  - if you click number 24, it will rotate and shift
- in the Day View (make sure you have clicked 24 in the Month View)
  - You can click the all day event for Sara and a popup will come up
Why is it set to May 22? Because that was when I was supposed to have my Capstone Defense even though it turned out to be May 27.

So feel free to check it out and explore it. Come back later on for my final write up and final thoughts and such. Also, feel free to leave constructive comments!

Defense and such

Kim — Wed, 28 May 2008 01:17:20 +0000

So today was the day I defended my capstone (6pm). Originally, it was supposed to be in the GCCIS building. Unfortunately, there was a power maintenance and therefore would be no power in the building in the presentation I was to give. Only the faculty was notified and it was a good thing that my professor Chris Egert realized this (even though he realized this Sunday night at 7 pm ish…)

After a series of…mishaps (trying to figure out how to display the presentation, calming down the Weezlings, putting Teo out, and making sure Rufus doesn’t try to sit on my lap) I was finally able to present. And it was a success! I’m done! Well…almost. I still have to do a couple of revisions for my final write up but hey at least I don’t have to worry about my presentation. After that, I actually had a glass of mead. (Mind you I don’t drink).

Thanks to all that attended! (Weez and the household, Egert, Baker, Cascoli, Andrew, Matt, Ada, Lynette, Uncle Man, Ed, Eric, Paul, and Sarah)

I am now off to Cali and will come back with a better head on my shoulders. I will post more on the final details, write up, and the…DEMO!
