I met with Lorcan and Steve and they helped me alot with what technology fits where and what relates to what, i will have my new system archictecture diagram up soon. They also checked my laptop and explained Apache and WAMP to me, they both seem to be working but MySQL isn't so I will have a look at that and do a few tutorials this week and if I have any problems I'll let them know.
We talked about building a paper prototype of my clock, this will be beneficial to me and for when I try to explain the idea of the clock to other people.
The presentation is on this Thursday and the advice given was to make about 8 slides and have the introduction and the conclusion of my presentation scripted, that way I know where I'm starting and where I will be finishing. This should help with the nerves if I'm more confident in what I'm doing!
I will try to get my 2nd draft finished in the next 2 weeks I'll set my deadline for the 17th/18th November, I'll also be familiar with the technology side a bit more so I can write a short bit on that too.
Also, Lorna Brown from Microsoft Research has been keeping in touch with Lorcan and it looks like a possible trip to meet Lorna and some of her colleagues working on the Whereabouts Clock may happen in January. Fingers crossed!

sounds good :-) forgot to say earlier, you might want to mention the planned trip to microsoft at the presentation, perhaps as part of your project deadlines?
Great to see such prompt blogging after meetings :-)
Looks like you're continuing to make steady progress, which is great to see. All the best for the presentation on Thursday - I look forward to hearing how it goes!
