As instructed, I am creating this blog to reflect on this course and document my progress with my group from a personal perspective.
I am excited for this class and the projects that I will be working on, but I am a little worried at the amount of time that this will take. Fortunately the teachers addressed this issue and are giving us every Thursday to work on our projects. I am not used to 3 hour long classes so I will try to make it a personal goal to not let myself get distracted towards the end of each class session.
Currently our group is working on the first project. The theme is "projection" and we have chosen to harness the overwhelming amount of "tweets" produced by twitter users and project all of those tweets into the classroom in real time. The main problem we have right now is accessing each "tweet" in an efficient and clean manner. Currently we are focusing our efforts on producing a php script to get the xml document of the Twitter Public Time Line. I have donated my server as a place to implement this script on.
I will continue to update this blog with more information as our group progresses.
