Managed to contact Jonathan Briggs after his lecture today and got him to become my supervisor. I’m very glad I have him as a supervisor because he definitely knows his stuff (being a professor and all). He’s already given me some work to do, this includes:

• First thing he asked me was “If i asked you to do the project in 2 weeks, what would you do?”, my reply to that was “Powercode!!!”, he said that was the correct thing to do and told me I should give him a very rough but functioning prototype of the project, the good thing about doing some powercoding now is that you dont have to powercode at the end of it all, which is definitely a plus. Afterwards we would simply improve the site one by one, also making sure that if I took any shortcuts, I’d probably have to make sure its done the right way, the idea of it is to simply expand a fully loaded project until it gets its grades, rather then go through the typical process, only to find out you dont have time for implementing the thing and will resort to powercoding at the end (which is alot more painful at the last minute). So yeah, 2 weeks, a fully implemented site that “kinda” works. I’m quite keen on powercoding I must say
• He also asked me to produce a list of all the buzzwords that I intended to use to for the project and begin to prioritise on which ones will work and which ones wont, probably a nice way of brainstorming ideas for the project and all

So those are my two targets, the former being the most important one, so now I’m just going nuts with the coding and ensuring that I get something done. Its definitely not a good sight I must say but its worth the shot.

Like I said, a very good supervisor for a project
