Ooops!

I'll be completely honest - I forgot about the blog! Thats why I havent been posting regulary...I guess, assignments and reports have gotten in a way of blogging but, once again, I promise that I will try harder in the future.

Well, It's been hectic few weeks on the project. The things are going according to plans so far and we didn't experience any major hiccups.

We went to visit the museum at Park Orchid and it was interesting. There are so many old PC's at the warehouse that it is incredible. Jon (the client) has done a great job of maintaining and organising all of it.

When it comes to project objectives, it is sort of divided into two parts:
  • add additional functionalities to the existing website
  • re-organise the database that drives the website
So, we have divided the team in two groups sort of. The first one if taking care of the website while the other one is concerned with the database.

But enough about specifications...when it comes to the IE subject itself, I must say that it has lived up to the expectations so far. It is very interesting and it gives us the opportunity to think outside of the square.

All of the team members are more hardware oriented and have better expertise when it comes to networking and general hardware. To work with the database and website design make us come outside of our comfort zone and out a bit more work into it. It is interesting and should give us a lot of work for the next few months....
