Journal for December 5, 2005

Compiled by Kimberly Barnaby

* As a reminder, the final exam will be on Wednesday, December 14, 2005. It is on material we covered from the midterm until now, and one question will be on the final project.

* http://owsis.oldwestbury.edu/Schedulefall2005dates.pdf - according to this algorithm, can u determine the date of our final exam?

* Could you possibly make an e-business service that gives help to colleges ? Start small and give service to your own college (i.e., tells the dates of final exams, snow days, good courses/professors, book services etc.). In the beginning, you start with only good things, if there are any; then, whoever provides these good things/comments, put their name.

* The idea of having demonstrations is to share what you are doing and learning, e-sharing, e-share, e-world and e-brahimi.

* A new idea for tomorrow for the Ebrahimi mouse is one which can also be susceptible to a virus.

* Would you prefer to have a quiz before the final exam? If so, when?

*One final question will be a cgi search (C++ language preferred, although u can use the language of your choice). One example of it would be to let user know he is an member or doing a password check.

*Hossain will demo his project.
