We had our regular WIO meeting just yesterday. I was able to ask Wayne about the problems I encountered with the sequence diagrams I’m making. Wayne also had a problem with his laptop. He can only enter the command line and unable to access his desktop, he couldn’t even shutdown the computer properly. The problem was caused by LAMP, and some applications he installed. It feels too bad though since he was successful in installing DataMapper. So, he decided to install the needed programs for WIO in Ma’am Gigi’s Laptop instead, besides having crazy internet connection, no wireless driver for ubuntu, me and Wayne was forced to get out in the room we were in while Ma’am Gigi went somewhere else.
We then evacuated to another room (computer laboratory) where the teacher was a good friend of Ma’am Gigi. We were able to find wired internet in there though one of the lab computer’s UTP cable. Wayne started installing but ended up having same problems he encountered while installing in his laptop. He must also install LAMP to Ma’am Gigi’s computer instead of using XAMPP which encounters an error when compiling Do-MySQL. But the alloted time for the meeting wasn’t enough since Wayne still needs to go to work, he then brought Ma’am Gigi’s laptop with him and hopefully be able to install everything WIO needs, and fix his laptop.
V for Vendetta
After our meeting, I went to Rogelio’s place to hang out (yes, that’s a pattern meeting -> Rog’s place). We watched the movie V for Vendetta, I know its an old movie but I was only able to watch it today. The story revolved around the main character – V who seeks for a peaceful country and revenge for those people who had done bad things to him which were already in a high position in the government. He then died in the end contented with his plans fully accomplished. I liked the plot of the movie and the main character V. He was a skillful fighter, a master of strategies and a good cook. I was moved by his will to have revenge and how he died gracefully in the end.
Arriving at my house, there was no internet connection at Windows and I needed to be online, so I decided to use Ubuntu instead (this often happens). So I installed Visual Paradigm in Ubuntu, its a good thing that it is available to a wide range of operating systems. I had problems with VP having a blank screen and can’t further continue in installation, the easy solution on that problem is turning off the effects on Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects, and everything should run smoothly. Also, the VP in Ubuntu is faster than the one installed in Windows, so I was having more fun creating diagrams here in Ubuntu. Now, my diagrams are finished and I’ll be moving on to the user interface prototypes.
