Milestone Two Goals Set! Engage~

We are now in the second milestone of our project. With new goals and priorities set we are ready to engage in phase two of our Wattdepot-apps project... after a short intermission.

This past week has been a very busy and eventful week. After reaching our first milestone last week Tuesday, we have come up with some new goals for this next milestone.

During our regularly scheduled meeting with Professor Johnson we have discussed some new enhancements for our visualizer project which is now out in its public release of version 1.0, but he rejected our layout for a more simple layout. We also discussed our new subproject priorities which has had wattdepot-monitor moving up to the top of the list. In the meeting we also discussed about splitting off into two teams, one leading the development of the monitor, while the other completes the enhancements to the layout and our final requested feature for our visualizer. With only three members on our team we decided to split it evenly with one and a half members on each project. With the group indecisive about the middle man, I've volunteer to work with both projects. Although at this point I do not know if I can be a fully functioning member of the team or become a assistant to the dedicated members.

This week also brought about the harsh reality of life and school into our overall goals, the group is hitting some major midterm road blocks in the past and upcoming weeks. Although I do expect the new split in the project to get off to a somewhat slow start. The two(three) holiday weekend, with Valentines Day, Chinese New Years, and Presidents Day, coupled with the busy schedules of each of the projects members have cause the project to lag behind a little.

Currently we have completed a new layout for our visualizer page, although a weird problem in which our html/javascript formatting(mainly the spacing) cause quite a few hours of headaches, we finally resolved most of our issues and have started to focus on the final two enhancements on the visualizer page.

On the other project we have completed a base page for the monitor. Although not functional yet, the foundations for the drop-down menus and the selection in all there. We hope to see a functional application by the next meeting.
