Day 19

Fear of Failure Yay! today is Work from home friday!!!! However, it is also the start of my discontent. Today marks one week that I have tried and failed to implement a school server. I only have a week left to close the ticket. This is quite worrysome for me as I was the one who wrote up most of the tickets for the project, and assumed the role of community lead. With no one in my home to seek guidance or confidence from, I tried, unsucce ...

Day 18

More Code/Cave diving Sadly no Threebean to help me search. However, I have not forgotten the most valuable command line call he has taught me so far: "grep -inr SEARCH_TERM * | less." For information on how that works, click... HERE. It's a previous blog post, from day 7.5, the day I lost count. So, as you recall from my post of day 17 I spoke a grand revelation about all unix commands be ...

Day 17

Workin' Hard or Hardly workin', eh MAC? At the start of the day, I felt pretty positive. Threebean was in the FOSSbox today, and I recalled our previous code diving experience. He told me that someone from ITS was worried about the routers and was a bit unsure as to why they were sending de-authenticating packets to someone network. I introduced myself to someone in the ##rc.rit channel and sent an email declaring that I was the victim/culprit of the network is ...

Day 15

More School Server Stupidity Hai! Today I started the McNair scholars program, and now have to run off to a class every monday and wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 this summer. It's a refreshing change of pace, but I feel like I'm missing out on glorious FOSSbox time. I'll just have to make the most of the time that I do spend there from now on. I will no longer play lemonade stand during my breaks! After all, I already have a screenshot of [$1,000,000,000,000+](http://www.elsolet.net/wp- content/ ...

Hopefully last day of reading up about school Servers As I mentioned on day 12, we planned out when our issues would have to be dealt with by, as well as who has to solve which issue.

Assignment and Ouya Today we wrapped up assigning issues for phase one to one another, as well as decide our team roles. For the first trimester, I got assigned the issue about connecting to school servers and looking into creating an Mozilla Open Badge allotment system.

Marking Milestones Today I cracked down on our project, and marked out all our milestones on Github Well, actually I first had to learn how. With some experimentation I planned out my project just as I had had to do in the Software Engineering class I took a year ago. To view our issues and milestones click here! A while back I mentioned when we went through and assigned topics ...
