Day 16

We have success in uploading an image to the site, one less thing to do. Its amazing how wonderful PHP, cPanel, and MySQL. I love it when determined individuals make software that is free and works really, really, good.

Next on the list is to complete the form image upload and sound uploads, then its on to populating the sounds.

I think we can hit our goal for user testing. Its starting to get more exciting with each passing day. A couple more days and we should be able to slap on our first real GUI, but first grammar corrections on the website, ehhh... grammar.

Day 15

Ok, we come what seems to be a long way in a couple of weeks, but we have so much more to go. I implemented a new login from the main site. Also created the first layout, made the initial mysql database, and implemented some image retrieval scripts. So far you can log in and test out two sample tabs each containing only one image. I plan on creating a master login to add default images to the site and then regular logins that can add images just to there userids. Tonight I am planning on implementing an image upload script and possibly a sound upload script.

I feel that we have reached a peak and are headed back into a valley in regards to this project. Hopefully we charge through this valley, as I am really tired from coding a lot this weekend. I think that 5 or 6 more 4 hour coding sessions and we should have something usable. Then we will need to get a whole bunch of contents (icons and sounds).

Day 11

So after working for a couple hours to increase our pagerank and submitting to search engines, you can now google us although just using VocalNoise. We are going to have to work hard to improve that. Anyways I am excited about this weekend because the development is starting, and we are contacting our first tester!

Day ...

So its been a couple of days since my last reply, but hey now we have a good site up at www.vocalnoise.com , go there and check it out. Currently, I am trying to figure out this whole SEO thing to get our site some more PageRank at google and other search engines.

Anyway, this weekend the real fun stuff starts, making VocalNoise. Since its labor day weekend I am foreseeing alot of progress made in a short amount of time, who knows maybe we will even be ahead of schedule.

Day 5,6,7

Well, we now are offically on the internet, however its merely a parked page. We are launching a more informative new site on Day 9. Also we have found what sounds like a good connection to test our product, but the product needs to be developed first which will take a while. Check out the temporary parked page: www.vocalnoise.com

Going to be doing a lot of web design tonight.

Day 4

This weekend were are having our first meeting, we will see how that goes. Also going to finalize the back end and get it built. We are going to create a test server on one of my computers, before we upload to our new host which is yet to be finalized. Right now, webhostingbuzz is the winner. I mean come on 30gigs of webspace for 3 dollars a month.

Hopefully with a week, we will have a good parking page up advertising and the next a working alpha prototype.

Day 3

Well, we now officially have another member on board, Ryan. Ryan is going to be the business brains of the operations. He brings to us a wonderful can-do attitude and the ability to talk to anybody and make connections for us. We are having our first meeting this Saturday to go over inital stragety for Vocal Noise and to finalize our hosting service.

We have our login page developed, not really a big deal, but we are mapping out our backend systems, which is a big deal.

Also, we might have an excellent programmer joining up.

Journey into Web 2.0

My journey into Web 2.0 will truely begin, I have a wonderful Web 2.0 idea that I am going to follow through with. Since I am tired (really burnt out) of my current job I am going to concentrate the majority of my energy to it. I plan on also blogging my adventures, who knows I might even make some spare change to buy beer with or even possibly a motorcycle. I am purchasing the domain today, wish me luck.
