Mobile processing and general failure.

Today, hopes were crushed and moods deflated.

Last week we were told we weren't allowed to use squibs as part of our project. Today we were told that making these little bugs that were once the center point of our project are impossible because the electronics woman here doesnt do bluetooth or teach first years. Lovely.

Yesterday our wonderful course leader got me started with mobile processing. A programming language made specifically for mobile phones so you can easily make applications and other wonderful things. Thats fine and dandy as he pointed out a way to use this language to make a more stable work around than bluetooth bugs and save us a lot of time. I started properlly coding with it tonight. In about 10 minutes i had made a little app that when you press a button or touch screen phone the target on the screen would change colours. To me thats impressive to pick up a language so quickly.

Now trying to use an external library to let me take control of parts of the phone like sound, video, lights and motor are harder since no where does it say how to implement a library or use the code. Fantastic. Thursday ill have a chat with our superman and he'll sort everything out. I can't bear the headaches it's been giving me today.

As the day went on the more fun I had. Class this afternoon was particularily fun. Learnt quite a bit and it had one of the best metaphors I have ever seen.

It involved a bucket, a brick and a cat.

finally I need to end this blog with something so here is Kay Pettirgrew singing the fresh prince of bel air theme accoustic styyyyyle
