next step

ok, have the basics of the framework in, it does mvc, strategy observer kind of goodness, now to actually build the model and make it do worthwhile stuff. for the model it will be based off of how ORA (SNA tool from CMU) defines social networks, because the goal is sjtu to create the networks and thne pass them off to ORA to work the magic algorithms and visualizations. So thats the next step building an extensible model and allowing for saving so that i can put out a version with minimal feauters ot be worked with but that the work done in early versions will not be lost to latter realeases. Oh and supousedly this is all for by next Tuesday...sweet deadlines

New Beginnings

ok, just did the first real work on thunder-snatch because i have to have something to show for it tomorrow, right now all it does is have a text box that you can select words in, hit a button and cause them to appear in a list on the side, nothing useful, and hardly even realted to the eventual goal, but it got me back in the programing mindset and refreshed on how all that model view controller mumbo jumbo works. also i got my "dev environment" all setup... aka i got the svn pluing for eclipse and commited the code to the projectes google code repository. I kinda sorta documetned how to do this setup of eclipse on the project webpage enough that i think someone else could get all setup adn checkout the code (with an execption of how to explicitly setup the build path to include the dependencies).

p.s. the offical name for this project is written as thunder-snatch, lower caseed with the dash in the middle, this is pretty much completely arbitrary but thats what i get to do.
