The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Well, I just got an email with a word document attached from the cs department. Seems i've been asked to meet with the ABET people on october 17th and I need to see the chair about my potential involvement.

Its not like I can say no. At least I won't have to work for chad that day most likely. :)

I finished my homework for physics. The solution is correct from one perspective. I found the flaw in the formula they gave OR the formula online. I want to ask them about it.

I want to do a once over on quizes before the test. I think i'm starting to get some of the graphs at least.

I sent chad an email and told him i had to finish a group project. It was 100% true and it also opened time to study a little. I told him i'm planning on coming in this afternoon.

I think i need to change the style sheet on this site.. the blue is overkill for the boxes. I liked it at first but i think its too hard to read. It looks beter in firefox i think. (using ie right now)

This weekend i need to teach myself lisp and statistics. How fun. I think i may try to write a simple parser actually instead of lisp though since i will need to do that anyway.

Caryn's laptop shipped and its in china still.

I need to finish getting ready now.

Well I migrated a few weeks back on the JJ code due to the server crash. I had the code locally and on my cvs repository though. I'll be publishing new binary copies of the class files soon. I want to do a new source forge release over the weekend if possible.

Here's what i got done:

1. Entry's are available individually (from before)
2. Date is set dynamically for RSS copyright header stuff
3. update and login classes now handle desktop clients differently than web clients and do not return HTML. Instead they return pre-determined constant strings. More work is needed on this interface.
4. Error loading preferences in some cases no longer through a servlet exception but rather display a message to the user. This should handle mysql hiccups better and show less information about error conditions to the user.
5. I'm now catching errors with the single entry id code from part 1.
6. Minor html cosmetic changes and tweaked string concatination.
7. I also analyzed a bug i found previously. The calendar freaks out in rare cases and starts appending the date multiple times. To resolve the bug, i must keep track of calendar state and not append if a date is there. I'm still looking at this bug for the best solution.
