Today I demoed my prototype to Bob. Bob made a couple of useful suggestions regarding the interface which I will be sure to implement. I will need to do some research on the size of the icons as well as the icon style (simple, plain, realistic, modern?)
For next week I’ll prepare a more functional prototype [...]

Made a few more icons for KIT and all have different styles. I will let Bob choose tomorrow if he likes any of them before I start making a set. I will also need to discuss the background colour/picture/gradient.
In regards to the presentation of the prototype tomorrow, I haven’t finished making a mockup of each [...]

Been working on the Main login page the past couple of days. I know I shouldn’t be doing this yet but I’ve been refining the code to make it modular mainly so it’s easier for me to create a really basic prototype. So for the rest of the weekend I’ll finish off a presentable prototype [...]

Just thought I’d post a minor progress update. Things are going well, I’ve managed to dynamically add user images on to the stage (in the flash player window) using AS3 and made it clickable. Now I need to design a few more icons to use!

Got great news! I have found a couple of products from competing companies with more or less the same functions (for my purposes anyway) as the official FMS by Adobe.
The first one being Wowsa Media server, records in the standard flv as well as H.264/HE-AAC. Their retail price of $995 is also much more acceptable [...]

Today I had a meeting with Judy and Bob to discuss several resource issues and my project plan draft. For the project plan draft, Judy couldn’t really give me any suggestions until I find the evaluation criteria. I can’t say I’ve seen it anywhere on the 4707 website, I’ll need to look harder. Judy also [...]

So far so good. My project plan is about halfway done but I’m still not sure if I should implement a Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is probably not the best option for a one man project, I’ll need to consult with Judy.
I must admit that I am a bit behind on the literature review. [...]

After having consulted Judy and Bob last Tuesday, they have set me a couple of milestones and deadlines. The first of which is a draft of the Project Plan before next Tuesday. Having had a look at a functioning Keep in Touch application as well as some limitations Bob brought up, it gave me a [...]

In my quest to find out what can and can’t be done on Flash Lite 3.0 I have found the following:
You can stream content to a device with Flash Lite 3.0 but you can not stream content from a device with Flash Lite 3.0 to the Flash Media Server. Link
Flash player (desktop version) by itself [...]

After finding out about Flash Lite 3 and it’s limitations I decided to research on it’s capabilities to record voice and store it on an external server. Googling proved to be unsuccessful in finding a solid statement regarding Flash and voice recording. Although there were posts in various forums pointing out that in order to [...]
