Tue April 16

Time for reflection : where we are and what to do in the last two weeks of the term.

The assignment for today was to propose several different possible end of semester projects, individually or in groups. I would like to decide today which of those we want to do.

ideas

• more realist forum website with (html, js, php)
• distributed OS (Jim: in two weeks!?)
• bandwidth monitoring - graphs & statistics (Jim UI? web page => js isolation ... netstat )
• mp3 streaming - music playing app perhaps - playlist etc

consensus

• do a music playlist site, <audio> tag to play 'em.
• have comments / forum integrated using old work
• group effort - try to a better job at communicating & expectations & presentation

Here a quick music playing thing on shannon.

resources

• python netstat
• MDN - Web Audio API
• open web design - starting points for look & feel

aside

• Responsible Javascript - Part 1 | discussion
• why software projects take longer than you think | hackernews discussion
• traffic microsimulation (just because it's a cool web page...)
