*looks above* Note: Right Click -> View Image for better resolution. ^^

It's Friday the 13th. Link. Link. Link. I hope nothing like that happens since I'm expecting a few things at school today. Here's an overview of what I intend to do - first, find one of the gals I like and try to get them to accompany me at the concert tommorow. Next, find jeboy and make him pay me ^^ he owes me some money, but he's a good man. He's never let me down since high school. After that, I'll try to speak with mam milka about our thesis proposal, and get some data about the online enrollment database. Then, I'll buy an illustration board so that I can make a battle grid, before finding one of my berks. The tropa are going to join in an FNM a bit later, so good luck to them. I'm hoping I could get them to buy me some cards (and sell me some cards too) but If I can't its alright. I'm kindof expecting a drain on resources coming (aka Freshmen night tommorow).

Ironically, this is my 13th Entry in this blog. Also, the second episode out of my regular schedule. Unfortunately, I have to cut this short because I'm kindof running out of time - still have to do my morning routines and travel to school etc etc... So, I'm going now! See you on monday! ^^

SWNow :: Episode 12 :: Once Again :: 070907

The picture above is the interface of what almost became our thesis. It's 1/5th of the whole application architecture of our 'super system' - a unification of all systems available in Letran. It was possible, and I can do it. The problem is time. I'm gonna need to design hell of a lot of subsystems in order for that behemoth to work, and it's jut not worth the effort. I mean, the system is just too freaking huge for an undergrad research paper.

So, guess what? Yup, back to square one, but this time a lot things have settled. The first is our Thesis Topic (OnE Letran) and Thesis Adviser (Mam Alon Teodoro). Next, the roles each of us (Me, Joy and Nelson) are supposed to do is now clearly defined. What I need to do: Find an Editor, furnish my Thesis Proposal, get a copy of the Central Database from Mam Malou, construct a sensible Database Application Architecture and try to design a Data Access Layer from what I currently have.

Shit.

SWNow :: Episode 11 :: Lucky Me :: 070207

"Ang daming benefits..." ~ Me, to a certain girl.

So, everything was going well with our thesis. I've got half of the program up and running, and I just passed the Thesis Concept to our adviser Mam Teodoro. Unfortunately, Sir Vince gave us another topic - Letran's very own Online Enrollment system. He told us that since the project is tied with Letran, we have higher chance of getting a "Best Thesis" from it (He obviously haven't seen our Thesis Concept). Now, he didn't really force the topic on us, in fact I could have easily told Sir Vince that we already have a working topic.

But since Joy doesn't really have an idea about the concept, I opted to consult her with this Online Enrollment System. Joy is in charge of the documentation, and I'm in charge of the software. I can do both systems, no problem (I have enormous amounts of resources available), but if Joy doesn't understand the concept, then were screwed at the oral defense. Any non-software related question should be under Joy's documents - and that's what I'm worried about. So, I consulted joy about the topic she prefers more, since I don't have any problems with either of them. She told me that she'd rather have the Online Enrollment system, and with that our topic has changed.

Current ToDo List: Find a new Adviser (Mr. Infante?), Get an Editor, Conduct an Initial Interview, Finalize the Thesis Concept Paper, and Construct an appropriate Activity Chart for the Design and Development of the system. In short, back to square one. -___-

I need to type some things up and still have this eBook I need to read, but I'll post something about our thesis right after I finish the Concept Paper. Until then, Ciao...
