Hi Yunpu, Good luck!

Report will be uploaded after the presentation! 

Weekend!! It means I have 3 days left for preparing. I am sort of person who like to meet deadline, which means that I 'll use it if there is one minute left. What I were doing for presentation is modifying slide. My slide is based on Visual Mobile Application on Netbeans provided by EduCommon. I add some information of Lethbridge Sun Tech User Group, SAI course etc. I deleted some points of netbeans new features, because it is too far away from my topic of mobility. I changed a Graph, xs it is not very exact, as I thought. BTW, till today, I have never understand why netbeans called netbeans. It's interesting !! If I can, I'll upload it to my blog.

Practicing presentation in this weekend. That's it. The number of RSVP promotes to 28. Count number.

Now, I am waiting for Ilya's calling. He is currently making presentation in Russia. For collabaration, I have to stay up. Come on, buddy!  I wanna sleep, haha. Anyway, Good luck to you and All CA.

I work out two things today. First one is about Projector and Audio Facility. Actually in the last week, I have tried projector myself. There is a small problem in audio facility. I went to IT department to ask these guys for: 1 When can I get the key for projector in AH117(my presentation room) 2 Can I try them in advance. Finally I got a very positive answer. They will send a proctor to confirm projector and audio facility oprating well in that day. It's good! At least I have some guys helping me, while I can pay attention to my presentation. Sorry, I almost forget to mention that professor. At the very first, I went to the wrong office, where he worked. After I show him my goal, he bring me to IT help desk himself.  Thanks him very much!!

Secondly, I booked food catering service. On the budget, I ordered:
15 Cookies -------->$22.35
15 Maffins---------->$16.50
40 Canned Pops---->$50.00
plus GST ----------->$ 5.33
----------------------------------------------------
TOTAL ------------>$94.18

BTW, this order is for 30 people. Currently I got about 25 RSVP, I think there are more students showing up in my presentation in that day. I hope it is not a big deal with money.

I got them done before 3:00 pm today. After that time, I was continuing to perfect my second presentation's project. Although Netbeans 6.0 is good, I have to aknowledge that it is still a demo, and there are somethings I can not understand, such as the color in text editor. The context Awareness Demo System is to let mobile accessing and PC accessing get the information automatically. I use PortalDataServlet to illustrate a context aware service, and use MobDataServlet and WebDataServlet to operate the request from mobile or pc. The data is coming from JavaDB. The raw data is uniformed. We do some data transform in MobDataServlet and WebDataServlet, then response the characteristic information to mobile user and PC user. I just wanna use this Demo to illustrate a accessing-context-aware system.

Done. Oh, Ilya, the network in my lab can not support me use port of 2252, which is Collabaration port in netbeans. If you saw this post, be patient, I will be back home soon.

 

Why ROLLER can not help us save the words we typed, even if session is shut down? I write so much words, currently, I have to type them again!!!!!

 I made the decision today. I'll help Ilya(a CA in Russia) to COLLABRATION in his Demo session. Because of EARTH, I have to stay up to 2:00 am in this weekend. It's hard but it's interesting. If I can help him be perfect, I'll be happy. hehe BTW, COLLABARAION plug-in is great thing. You can let your teammates write the same code, debug the same code together, no matter where they are. How a cool thing!!!

My presentation is near. I'll finalize booking reservation service tomorrow. I've already discussed it with Manager in Sodexo, so it is going to book it, pay the fee, and get the receipt. $100!! PIZZA,POPS,MAFFIN???? Wanda, I hope I can let my budget be runned out. hahah

I finished Demo for the second presentation. It is a context awareness demo system. I'll describe it later.

OH, I should email Haley to check where my packege is currently? I hope the souvinors can arrive at me on time

 

It was a long weekend! I took a party in Nov 11,2007, xs It is four 1 in total, we called that day as single day. Met some great guys and made an advertisement by the way.

The number of people who registered this event promotes a lot today. I don't why. Whatever, It is a good news for me. I am not afraid of audience, I am afraid short of audience. To my surprise, there are more and more engineers from City of Lethbridge plan to come to my presentation. HAHA, it is really community event!!

Demo practices should already be perfect.  In the next days, I'll finish my slide. Based on the template from EduCommon, the slide will finished quickly I hope.

The posters have been put up!! 18 pages cost $28.8, ($1.5/page). Good! If you did not print your poster, you can not feel its beauty and excitement. Thanks Jannifer, it looks really good. This item is under the budget.... :) I leaved 3 pages, which will be put up on the door of presentation's classroom.

Today, I try the demo of Http Connection on Mobile application. I used Glassfish as the application server, actually I just used part of it, web container. It's cool of glassfish. Comparing with WebSphere (because I have several years' experience on it), Glassfish seems to provide users same functions with WebSphere, of course from the perspective of web server AS I know. If you don't wanna pay for a expensive enterprise application server, maybe you can choose Glassfish.

The http Demo is plan to be demonstrated in the second presentation, 4 days after the first one.

BTW, I got into the classroom where I will make the presentation stealthily, and try the projector and audio device. The projector is ok, although the screen solution has little difference between my laptop and projector.  I can not find the controller of audio device,  but I have time to check with Information Technology. It's good.

Fine. Sleep.
 

Finished Demo Today. I think I'll try to let it done again,
meanwhile, the presentation should be paid attention. I got a guide for
presentation, which shoul be useful for me.
