So i am currently working on my distributed systems assignment which is a complete disaster !!! I find a problem as soon as i fix one. gur !!! I have to hand in my Advanced Internet development assignment tomorrow. I flew through that one and was able to help others too which gave me a confidence boost overall. But that still didn't stop me from crying on my way home last night. Like what was that about. haahaa. went to pizza hut with Brian then, he thought it would cheer me up ..... it did :)
As for the project work, managed to attend a meeting with Pat Browne and he thought my idea was great. He emailed to me a project dissertation that was done before by one of his evening course students that may have some reliance to mine which he went through. There seems to be good information there for my research.
I also had a meeting with Damian Gordon. This one was recorded so that i wouldn't miss any important info that he may have to share. This meeting was extremely usefully as i had a planned set of questions in which to ask him and his answers were very in depth. He even gave me ideas for future work that my be done with the project.
my meeting with Oliver went well this week. He can see that i am very interested in getting the work done ("you seem to have good work ethics, have you always been like that "). The truth of the matter is that i don't want to be here next year so if i do it well first time round hopefully that won't happen lol.
So yesterday i was at my locker and Oliver came out of his office and didn't notice me. I said hello to him and his reply was "David isn't it. There was something i was to tell you ......hmmm.... eh .... what was it now ....... Oh yea. When is out next meeting."
I replied:"Friday, 5:00pm "
Oliver: "yea, i'm not going to be around...... i'm going to Galway".

meeting with damian burke 6th nov
After my meeting with Oliver i was to set up meetings with Damian Burke, Damian Gordon and Pat Browne. Unfortunately, it was review week and during that time I was unable to get in contact with them. This week i managed to arrange a meeting with Damian Burke.
I gave him a copy of my draft proposal and asked him to have a read through it and see if he had any ideas of any criticism to add. Damian was very helpful with this as he went through my proposal and was able to criticize my proposal in a constructive manner which will help me develop a sound proposal. He gave me ideas on research that could be done and also come up with an idea of incorporating a gant chart. This is a chart in with is visually informs the duration of tasks and can help with the over allocation of time etc ..
On Friday I was able to get a chance to talk to Damian Gordon after my efforts of getting in contact with him via email had failed. I explained to him that due to him being our project course coordinator, his input would be of great importance to help develop my research. He gave me a web address to prepare questions for him and told me to email him to arrange a meeting. The meeting was going to be informal but was going to be recorded for the benefit of having the interview on a wav file.
I emailed Pat Browne to set up a meeting with him. The scheduled date we arranged is for Tuesday the 11th at 5:30pm. But now this meeting will have to be rearranged as i will not be able to attend.
Things to do for next week:
Others:
While all this is going on I have to keep up to date with lab work and assignments. I currently have three assignments on the go in Advanced Internet Development, Distributed Systems and Advanced Databases. So far I am nearly done with the Advanced Internet development assignment as i just have some minor details to complete. then I'll have to move on to distributed systems.
Joke of the week:
What did one tampon say to the other ? .......
Nothing cause they are both stuck up cunts !

Things to do for next week:
- Review systems that already exist like wedCourses and myDIT
- Research on gant charts
- Make out a paint doc on what I think the system will look like
- make use case diagrams and make small descriptions on each i.e. who is doing what, prople and functionality.
- Acquire the formal meeting log document for understand it's layout.
- Prepare final proposal to hand up to Damian Gordon upon our meeting.
