    I was wondering the same thing; I've joined the 2021 group for now.

    This will be my personal note book. I have now posted this in a few different places, and am still struggling to figure out if a 2022 subgroup is going to be created? I don't want to post all my wikis and then have to transfer them, but I also don't...

    I am trying to participate in the appropriate course group, however it does not seem to exist on the comp268 landing page, only 2020, and 2021, and this "Ask the Instructor" group. My course contract date started January 1st of this year, so I am a...

    As I near completion of assignment 4, I think I've progressed enough to be able to adequately reflect upon it. I have to admit I found the project a little daunting in the beginning. The scope of it seemed to be more than I could handle in the...
  • Brent Beaudry published a blog post COMP348 Course Reflection December 31, 2021 - 3:19pm
    With only a few things left to do on the last part of assignment 4, I figure this is a good time to relect on the course. I've gone through COMP268 and COMP308 to get to this point, and I can say that COMP348 was a nice extension of Java...

    I actually found this much easier than assignment 2. The poem of the day program may be the program  that takes the least anount of time to complete in the course. Adding markers to the text file and using regex to read between the markers for...

    This assignment for me was a little more difficult, but no overly so. I had a trouble at first with formatting the logging, but I got it eventally. I started with SingleFileHTTPServer as instructed, but I found myself using more and more JHTTP...

    I'd like to second Liam's statement. As a professional dev, I wouldn't be able to do my job nearly as effectively without an IDE. I use VS Code, and it's invaluable for testing, linting, formatting, almost everything else you need to write...

  • Jon Dron bookmarked So mouse jigglers are a thing now December 9, 2021 - 9:33pm
    A mouse jiggler is a mechanical device that literally jiggles your mouse, or a dongle that electronically mimics mouse movement. There are even a few real mouses with jiggling functions built in. Why? Though there are a few people who might use it...

    Structure for my Social Media Artifact

    • Narius Farhad Davar December 11, 2021 - 8:54pm

      Hi Matt,


      Excellent presentation and a well-designed artefact, it was good to explore Gather. I got a good feel of the overall application through your presentation and demo. I feel your design had a very realistic approach by mimicking your work layout, if you are able to push this in your organization then it may completely revamp and change the way meetings are done by adding a fun aspect to it. Also, during the demo when we went into each individual rooms, I felt it replicated a real office like structure where you are unable to hear the person in the next room. I also liked how to you started off your presentation by relating it to different theories.
      Regards,
      Narius

      Hi Matt,

      I really enjoyed your presentation and your demo of the artefact. You spent a great deal of time and effort in carefully design and implementation which reflects in the high quality of your artifact. I was instrigued by your theory regarding replicating the work environment office workers are used to in a virutal environment to make working from home fun and engaging. We are definitely creatures of habit and social beings who have been programmed for many years to physically interact and collaborate with other human beings. The pandemic has definitely been hard on most of us especially the social and extroverted ones that gained energy by socially interacting with others.

      I know you mentioned that some of the functionality and integrations with Google Cloud marketed by Gather did not live up to the expectation; however, I found your demo very engaging and really enjoyed the office spaces you created for us. I would be interested to know how your experiment goes in real-life when you have your co-workers try it for the week.

      It was a pleasure being in this course with you. All the best and I hope our paths cross again. I know you had mentioned that you are close to graduating, so good luck with your integration route, whether it is essay, project or thesis.

      Kind Regards,

      Rayees
