Group meetings in the lab, Skype interaction with Professor Haines.  I think that this should be an interesting group lab, to see how everyone else’s projects are coming along, and to see how our group ranks related to other groups in interfaces, methods, and integration.

It's coming down to the line; I will be trying to put together my fully functional RPML version of my term paper and hopefully in a reasonable fashion.

I have recently purchased the Mario Kart Wii Edition, awesome.  It is pretty cool how Nintendo integrated the steering wheel with the Wii remote, and the functionality of the game is amazing.

This week we are learning about Portals...my topic for my term-paper.  I am interested to see what topics are discussed, and what other examples of how enterprises leverage webservices and portals for day to day interactions. 

Project Milestone #2 is due Wednesday, and we should have a dictionary for the different processes which will be outlined in our project defined.  I look forward to knowing what direct part I will play in our project, and also how involved the definitions and coding will have to be.

On another topic...I have received my box to send in the xbox360 to microsoft to fix from the service department in the US.  I will have to mail the contents to Microsoft and have to wait an average of 4 weeks for the arrival of my updated Xbox360.  Wii Mario Kart has been announced.

Last week we went to the lab to finish up the lab 3b, and start on lab 4 for SAP XI.  My group met for the project, and we were able to put alot of our ideas down and collaborate with one another.  I'm getting excited to have a Guest Speaker.

It seems as though our project will be very demanding in time and group interaction.  I look forward to the challenge and opportunity to work with others and learn what they know about web services as well as how everything will eventually be put together as a finished product.  After making a couple purchases for myself online as of late, I have a better idea of what our professor is looking for in our project/service.  I think everything so far and in the future is very interesting and am very interested in learning more about my group, and web services (EAI).

In the recent week, I have finished my term paper in word format, added entries to my group discussion board and had my Xbox360 Elite fall to the Three Light Ring of Death.  On a much higher note, I have been researching the Xbox Warranty and have found the following links.

Basic Warranty Information:

Warranty Information:

I hope no one else has to go through this process, but I am a devoted Microsoft fan and will continue to purchase Xboxs' as long as they are produced.

Some websites I will be leveraging for my Term Paper are http://portals.apache.org/, www.wikipedia.org.  I think that these will help me on my dictionary type paper for this class.  I am attempting to finish up lab 3B - SAP XI Configuration.

I'll let you all know how the lab went when I finish it.

BACK TO SCHOOL

This week we are back to school and trying to back into the swing of things.  I plan on starting my term paper this week and have it all finished by next class session.  I'm kind of wondering what team I will be assigned to.  Anxious and curious at the same time.

Spring Break was a good chance to work overtime and make allot of cash.  Now I will be able to go on a trip to Vegas and Florida this summer.

Currently I am working a 10 hour work day, no time for vacation as a Tax Accountant.

I will be playing Smash Brothers(Wii) and Halo III(Xbox 360) in my spare time.
