7:00 – 4:30 ASRC MKT

• The discussion and conclusion
  • Introduction 
  • What is the difference between results, discussion and conclusion?
  • Content order in the conclusion
  • The research ‘implications‘
  • Research limitations
  • Linking the introduction and the conclusion
  • Going out with a ‘bang’
  • Writing the thesis title
• Tweaked the “Future Work” section of the CHIIR DC proposal to reflect the herding work. More words means less bullet points!
• Updated Java and XAMMP on my home machine
• Pointed the IDE at the correct places
• I don’t think I have PhpInspections (EA Extended) installed at work? It does nice things – Have it now
• Working through creating a strawman game. Having some issues with a one-to-many relationship with RedBeanPHP. Ah – it’s because you have to sync the beans. I think rather than have a game point at all the players, I’ll have the players point at the scenario, and the chat messages point at the game and players.
• Got that mostly working, but having a null player issues
• Important PHP issue – arrays don’t need to start at zero! The bean arrays are indexed with respect to their db id!
• Meeting with Wayne
• The DC is good to submit
• Start working on a JCMC article that connects the flocking model to qualitative theory.
• Keep on working on the game. Possible project for a class/group in either 729 – design and evaluate class (Komlodi) or 728 – Online Communities & Social Media (Branham)
