¡Snippity!

Today's presentation was a great example of why I hate doing presentations. When I have to talk in front of a group of people I almost always forget what I'm going to say and start rambling. I do that during interviews too, which normally leads to me saying something less-than-complimentary about myself. I need more practice with this sort of thing.

We're still working on the project. We need to integrate a few more things in order to have something ready to turn in by Friday. This was a very ambitious project, and I don't think we fully realized what kind of monster we had on our hands. As a result, some of the planned functionality has to be scaled back. Regardless, I'm quite pleased with our progress. And I'm happy that Jonathan likes the look of our app :) Yay!

There's one thing I forgot to mention: I noticed that many of the groups didn't take screen resolution into consideration, as there was some dreaded horizontal scrolling involved. Since the resolution is 800x600 for the projectors, I designed the site to fit that window. I also coded the workspace page such that the control panel and tag area have a fixed width, and the box that contains the snipps has a fluid width. The page will still look decent when it's in a pretty small browser window. This is more of a usability issue than anything, but I just wanted to throw that out there.
