Logo Request

So we are thinking a logo something like this (yes yes, unnecessary, but awesome):

• two eyes
• one of the eyes has the pupil or the pupil & iris replaced by a radar blip screen (the circular green/black sweep)
• and behind the eyes is one of those day by day calendars that you rip pages from being flipped through. not with a hand, just on its own

yes, slightly creepy, but isn't that the point? the calendar tracks you!

Architecture

This is the first draft of the basic architecture of the LoCal system. On the server side, we have PHP being queried and connecting to an SQL server. On the client side, we have Python scripts and C++ wrapped in Python accessing the Internet, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and the Phone's built in DB. All communication is done through our LoCalXML.

P.S. Why is all the best academic work done in the middle of the night? :)

XML Schema

LoCal is going to use XML for communication between server and clients (phones). I just wrote the first "official" schema v0.1!! Still needs to be discussed. Can be found at: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcg2bwzv_37tv2nt7fd

UPDATE (5-2-08): New LoCalXML schema posted. v0.2: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcg2bwzv_38f7vbv9hc

Meeting minutes

Meeting minutes:

• Came up with the project name: LoCal
• Wrote short description for the project wiki
• Created our awesome blog. Thinking if we need a website or we can use wiki for it.
  
• Test Verification
• Bluetooth devices can be checked in they are in range based on its mac address even if devices are s not exposed
  
• If python is running in the background we can play the sound (alert users with a sound)
  
• To do: Need to figure out how to switch back to python to show the dialog box
• Anand took a nap
• Had a usual conversation about google vs everything else

First Post

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We opened our new blog for our awesome project. I am so exciting even though we are using google. :)
