1. What was planned?
--Turn in IRB Completion Certificate
--Finish iPhone tutorial
--Get Dance Tool started
--STARS Networking Game meetings/brainstorming/prototyping
--Read paper, review game
2. What was done?
--Completed IRB and turned in the paperwork
--Made progress with the iPhone tutorial; got cube spinning + views switching
--Evie and I got Codendi's "engine" back up and running with some PHP/MySQL and a lot of elbow grease and Chinese food. The Dance Tool is now on Codendi and I have started documenting bugs and helping Evie with the Technical Documentation.
--Our group met with Josh and Dr. D to discuss STARS SNAG Project ideas. We all brainstormed and came up with some good concepts.
--I was able to build a functioning prototype of a conference game where you text someone to "SNAG" them. To make the full connection with the person they must "SNAG" you back. You gain points for each person you connect with. I also created an automatically updating leaderboard page.

3. Problems encountered?
--iPhone: Drawing the Cube: I ran into the same situation as Rachel- "Forgot to turn on the depth buffer for rendering the cube, and then when I did turn it on, I forgot to clear it."
Changing the Views: Rachel and I had the same problem here as well; I had the cube view working and I had the switch view working, but when I tried to merge them together rips in the space time continuum occured and everything stop working. Having multiple XIB files is the answer.
--Dance Tool: Evie wanted the Dance Tool project to operate on a centralized location with a project management system. She has had Codendi for a while(a PMS by Xerox) and was unable to use it because of all kinds of network, permission, forgotten passwords, and a broken framework(Codendi is open source). Evie and I worked together to override the password for admin on the server, hacked the source files of the program to fix some errors and finally created a project and moved all the assets to the system. We are proud to say Codendi is online!
4. What did you learn this week? (esp. computer science, or anything surprising or interesting)
--Refreshed a lot of my MySQL and PHP skills.
--Middle school kids are a great source of inspiration.
--Basics of the Objective C programming language
--Basics of the Apple iPhone SDK
--Learned about Codendi; how to use it, fix it, break it
--Learned how to take cell phone texts and take the message and put it into PHP variables in order to do some "text" enhanced web development
--Chinese is also good for breakfast
--Working together is 11.5 times better than alone
5. What's planned for next week?
--Start diving into the Dance Tool with Condendi; documentation, bug fixing,
--Finish the iPhone Tutorial
--Polish the STARS Conference Game Prototype and create the Research Poster Voting System Prototype.
6. Hours worked.
