Groups, Archives and Commits oh my!

2007-09-25T19:16:00.000-06:00

Yeay got a Groups Account Setup for RedFlag @ http://groups.google.com/group/redflag-project. This is to serve primarily as a mailing list and discussion place for ongoing development and some user feedback. It also gets subversion commit messages serving as a public archive of ongoing development commits and allows for a discussion of the commits themselves so people can catch mistakes before

2007-05-09T02:05:00.000-06:00

As a way to kick myself in the @$$ I decided to import RedFlag into Google Code's Subversion repository today. It's already at revision 6 because I had to clean it up and some oddities. Basically heres what happened.I randomly decided that im not getting as much done as I should, therefore so others can kick me in the @$$ when Im slacking I'll import the code into subversionI import the code into

The Plan

2007-05-07T22:41:00.000-06:00

Well my hope of getting a bunch done with Google Code Project Page last week was dashed as preping for my camping trip took longer than I thought. Well my camping trip with friends ended early and i've cleaned up my room and continued working on Red Flag now.Right now I am working on getting the remaining basic methods implemented in RFDeliciousClient and RFDeliciousParser classes. At first all

Organizing Wiki in VoodooPad

2007-04-23T21:57:00.000-06:00

Rather than trying and experimenting with the structure of a wiki on Google Code Im experimenting right now with VoodooPad which seems like a great tool for this sort of thing. Im still getting used to it as i've only just now really seriously, but so far it's looking really good.Assuming I get my remaining assignments and quizzes done (that I am allowed to do this week) I should start putting

RFDeliciousParser basically done

2007-04-17T00:00:00.000-06:00

Well not much to write about right now. I took this evening to write the XML parser from scratch for RedFlag. By that I mean creating an NSObject that internally creates a NSXMLParser and implements the delegate methods to parse the XML and store the results in internal arrays. Not literally writting an XML parser. This is a big chunk of what I need to write completed now.If I keep going on at

Brainstorming and the beginnings of the framework

2007-04-16T01:08:00.000-06:00

Mark and I had a great brainstorming session today on some good features to put in RedFlag, so much so that I had to go back through Adium's chat log just to make sure I got everything. I don't know if some of the idea's we discussed are possible straight through the del.icio.us api's, if not I'd have to bend over backwards trying to accomplish this through some odd way.In any case I gave up this

Project Definition

2007-04-05T10:57:00.000-06:00

Well now it's official Im quitting my other open source project and now Red Flag is becoming my primary flagship product and as such I thought it's best to get some stuff out of the way to show that Im organized and have a process to getting 1.0 out the door.I'll start with project statements on what type of user this is for, what's important, etc.1. User needs Identify The Problem: Can’t sort

So what is all this about?

2007-01-02T00:13:00.000-06:00

Well well well... where do I begin? Perhaps I should start with the briefing behind my motives for this, the origins of Red Flag and what I intend to do with this project.My Motive behind thisI'll be honest when I first saw Del.icio.us I didn't think much of it, that was until I needed to access my links from both my PowerBook G4 and my Linux workstation at work. In this sort of situation .Mac
