I noticed a very interesting glitch this afternoon when I was adding a branch to this story. If you are just reading the first branch, the date is 5/09/09. If you click on the branch that I had just made, the date of the second branch turns to 12/31/1969, so not only did it go back in time, but it shows something is broken on the site as well

This week I worked on debugging the site mostly. I have created a new updated debug log that has the newest entries. Put several hours on it throughout the week.

The Facebook group is a solid 98 members. I don’t think it has changed much since last week, and I sure hope that they have all been to the site and at least checked it out to see what it is all about. I received a troubling statement the other day from my friend’s girlfriend upon entering the site. She said that she couldn’t figure it out and she didn’t know what the purpose was for. I guess it’s not such a big deal, because she didn’t read any of the text that explained the site, or even went to the site to check it out. She just looked at the pictures and didn’t click any of the links. I suppose it frustrates me more than anything to know that she isn’t the only one doing this…

I have been advertising via word of mouth.

I also spent some time writing stories and contributing to existing stories and branches that exist in hopes of creating large story threads come the senior show, and faculty presentation. Took me less than an hour or so and was very fun

I also created the icons for the main toolbar when the user is logged in. These took about three hours and were really fun to make. I am pretty happy with them; I’ll have to see what the group thinks:

Finally, I am working on a PowerPoint presentation for the faculty presentation, we just have a week left, and it’s about time to really start fleshing it out for the show. So far it is just the basic design of the PowerPoint; the content will be filled in for the week’s meeting. I am also going to collaborate with Leigh on it, to make it the best PowerPoint presentation of all time. I am not going to bother posting it to create multiple versions and confuse the other members. I have put 2 hours into it so far, and I think I should spend my efforts in writing a solid speech for the presentation. It will be professional, stylish, funny, and sexy: the Frankie Gambino way.
