Updates & Pumpkins

It's been a long time since my last post but to be fair, there isn't anything to report at the moment. Work on the class reference will certainly not be completed until after Christmas as my studies currently leave me little time to add new information. :( The whole reference actually exists, but it takes a long time to enter it into the project's MySQL database. From mid-December, however, I hope to be able to work more continuously on the project. If you have any suggestions or comments on what has been published so far, please feel free to post in the BiBWorm project's forums. Have a scare Halloween, everyone!

A Mind Map on the BibWorm Standalone Client

Yesterday I sort of rediscovered a mind map I had done for the BibWorm standalone client back in July to present my ideas to Cambridge University's Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies (CARET). It illustrates the kinds of tasks which the standalone application must enable users to deal with. Since this map dates from a time predating the current modular design and the different flavours of BibWorm applications it is slightly outdated but nonetheless provides a good reference for the standalone client's essential functionality. Which is why I have put it on the website. Scrutinize it here.

Moved My Blog to Blogger.com

Today I moved my blog to blogger.com. That should make things a little easier for me in the future. So far I quite like this service. And the WYSIWYG editor is a nice change from entering my stuff into the project database using phpMyAdmin. It's just a pity that I wasted time developing a PHP script to transform my posts into RSS... Oh well, at least I learnt something doing this. :) I have posted the script in one of BibWorm's forums, in case anyone might like to take a look at it. You can view it here. Apart from this, work on the core class reference will most probably slow down considerably now, as term at university starts tomorrow.
