workLOGS . IUMS


Listening to the music produced by a certain U2 concert DVD in the background while working on this IUMS project made me wanna shift careers. You know... be a rocker instead of a 'coder'. (I'm not even giving you a link to U2's site. You have to be living on a different world for the past three decades for you not to know this band.)

Seriously, i'm back to 'real' coding-related stuff this day after spending more than a week doing foxpro-related researches, downloading reference materials from the 'net and at the same time finishing this site. IUMS stands for Internet Usage Monitoring System, created for three clients, while one school is already using it in two of their internet laboratories. More info on this project will be given in the days to come.

Also... a report template was created this afternoon using VFP's default Report Designer. But before that, i get to do what i like doing with databases, creating algorithms that transfer records to another database with a different 'information format'. Too make it simple (and clearer), that means the data entered on a certain USAGE.dbf (LONG LIVE the DBF format!) are being calculated and stored on a different database but this time concentrating on the totals... the total of HS/GS/COLLEGE students accessing the internet per month/day/year categorized by gender... odor... and so on. This would also include Faculty and NTS internet usage and the ratio of the lecture-related visits as compared to their 'accidental porn clicking'.

Now there... i'm starting to include the work-related logs on this site. But of course, foxpro-related links will always be posted. Like an introduction to ShellExecute() perhaps?
