Camtasia!!

The webpage works!! The flying bugs and everything are back! The links aren't quite up and running but It looks the way it should.  Over the last week we have all become Camtasia pros, well we can at least create videos.  Hopefully by the end of the week we will have a video ready to post.  Also our first poster has been created and is in the process of being looked over by everyone before we send it to the printers.  Pictures of it will follow as soon as it's ready!

The Webpage

Well the biggest accomplishment of the last week is that our webpage is up.  You can view it at http://digital.cs.usu.edu/~bugs/ .  Our newest complication though is that it didn't transfer quite correctly and has lost our pretty flying bug background and has taken on a bluish tint.  Just as it is in programming though nothing works perfectly the first time, so we are now to the try, try again part.  Hopefully by our post next week our little bugs will be back!  Learning Flash is coming, slowly but surely, and this week we are creating our first posters!

Classification to the MAX

We are all feeling pretty accomplished this week.  We classified our massive amounts of bugs for September without a hitch.  Our classification skills have also improved since we started this project because there were very few that left us perplexed this time around!  They can be seen at  https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AorDMtGHZu8IdG1PNHRsUU5nbGUxdHF4cmR2VXFUdXc&hl=en .  Now on to the task of identifying the most common ones and deciding how to solve them!

Week 6 - Our Biggest Bunch of Bugs EVER!

We have started classifying the September bugs from the tutor lab.  The grand total came out to be 143 bugs! That is more than we had all Spring Semester, so they should keep us busy for at least a few days as we get them all classified.
We all are now the proud users Camtasia Studio and Flash, actually we just sucessfully downloaded them but are learning how to use them next week.  All of us are new to Flash programming so it should be an adventurous week. 
The website should be up and running by Monday (at least the homepage that is).  We have overhaulled it many a times trying to get it to look right and we think we might finally suceeded!  Our latest road block is making everything end up in the right spots in the web browser.  All in all though it has been quite the learning experience.
