Better progress

After spending some time to figure out how to write jsp codes, Tyler came up with a conditional statement that to tell you if a piece of data is a complex observation. However we haven't been able to distinguish an image from a text file, they both behave the same way. He did a fantastic job writing a code to pop an image preview; which I was able to resize into a 100*100 thumbnail(even if i am not sure if this is a good way to do it!).

The presentation of "Homesteading the Noosphere" an essay by Raymond, has been taking much if my time this weekend; but next week I will have more time to work on this project.

AT LEAST, WE HAVE A NOTICEABLE PROGRESS.

Hackers come, OpenMRS complex obs stay ambiguous

Here's another that starts with Josh's presentation about the origin of hackers and ends with snowing in Arkadelphia. The first chapter of the book "The Cathedral and The Bazaar" by Eric Raymond talks about the coming of computer related technology which dates in mid-20th century. The hackers got together through the computer network ARPAnet, the they developed different usable software and impacted the growth of computing.

On the other side, editing the complex obs in the OpenMRs project is still being complicated. we can't get the XSLT forms to add an encounter of the patient. Hopefully next week we will be able to find the forms and the modules' source code, so that we start the real work.
Hope next week will be warmer!

OpenMRS project kick-off

Now, we have everything set up to begin our project. We finally got the ticket assigned and the VM installed. We've linked some important links (explaining the features of complex observations) on our blogs, so that it will be EZ to collect correctly all the requirements. This will be a good documentation.

Since me and Tyler leave in the same dorm, we were thinking about setting up the VM in our PC's which would help us to get together out of class periods.
