Nov. 9 - Cold and flu season
Basically, I’ve been knocked out with this cold all week and while I got a few things done, I didn’t finish setting up the landing page links or complete the social media feed for user testing in VT this weekend. I should still be able to test the new user rating form this weekend and get a little feedback. Another update is that I’m moving forward with no ability to earn badges, at least at this point. Badges can be assigned to users but I have not been able to automate the process by linking the user points modules that awards badges to the submissions of the entity form used for cheese ratings. Most of this week, I worked on my presentation and elevator pitch for the capstone fair weekend as I didn’t want to make any mistakes and goof something up on my website while in a haze of cold medicine. The capstone fair weekend materials are coming along nicely and I guess I’ll be taking a couple days off next week to catch up on adding in CSS and finalizing the social feed. Another thing I did accomplish was flushing out a portfolio site and resume for myself to take to the UX Fair on Monday at the Nerd Center - so that’s cool.
