• Backups. And in case Dong is still wondering, the full backup takes about 60 seconds.
• Paperwork. Need to talk to Chris about potential server changes.

10:00 – 4:00 FP

• Continuing the ongoing saga of trying to get an application written in Visual Studio 2010 in MSVC to run on ANY OTHER WINDOWS SYSTEM than the dev system. Today, I should be finishing the update of the laptop from Vista to Win7. Maybe that will work. Sigh.
  • Some progress. It seems you can’t use “Global” in the way specified in the Microsoft documentation about CreateFileMapping() unless you want to run everything as admin. See StackOverflow for more details.
  • However now the code is crashing on initialization issues. Maybe something to do with OpenGL?
  • It was! I needed to remove the drivers and install NVIDIA’s (earlier) versions. I’m not getting the text overlay, which is odd, but everything else is working. Sheesh.
• Start writing haptic paper. Targets are CHI, UIST, or HRI. Maybe even MIG?
• This is also pretty interesting… http://wintersim.org/. Either for iRevolution or ArTangibleSim
