Demo blues

So we weren’t able to present everything on the demo, just the login, logout and account creation part. To make things worst we had to make last minute changes because we weren’t able to use jabber.org due to lack of connectivity in JRDC. I found out at home that they too had problems with our DSL so I guess something really happened. I thought for a moment that the higher beings were convening against us. Good thing we were able to use Wildfire as a local server. I wanted to use this laptop as the server and the Solaris pc’s as the client stations, but for some reason, the connection always timed out. I ping-ed the IP address of this laptop at that time using Josiah’s group’s Windows pc and still had timed out results.

Well, at least we still have until Friday to finish this. Two modules left until this sem is done. I’m thinking of redesigning the whole look and feel of the application during the break to make it our own. I guess you can say that I’m tired of the usual Java look and feel of the GUI’s, not that I’m against it.

public static void main(String[] args)

After hours of hypnotizing this laptop, I have increased my chances of understanding the code of Smack (API for IM); although I think I have some problems…

public. As much as I love working/studying here in JRDC, I feel like the pace of my progress is similar to that when I work/study at home.

static. I’m stuck. I don’t know how I’m going to start doing the programmin. I mean, I do have an idea on how the code of Smack works, after all, 5 years in UP should at least give me the ability to read a Java code.

void. And since I’m already working three days in a row with some few hours of sleep (I guess if I sum up all the minutes all my naps took), I feel like there’s a huge blank space in between my ears.

main(String[] args). Or maybe it’s just me. I dunno… (Apparently, the words in bold didn’t have any connection with what I just said.)
