End-Game
Well, this is it. It's the night before the big day.... I am a little nervous. I hope the demo goes off with out a hitch--that's the part I'm most concerned about. I tested our system in the area outside Bartos Theater today and it only seems to work if I'm very close to the entrance to the outside, so either our poster will have be by the doors to the street or I'll have to camp out by the doors and who ever's manning the poster will have to direct people my way. I wanted Kevin to be able to demo it as well, but somehow the disk that came with the modem go scratched and so we had no way of installing the modem drivers on Kevin's laptop. Hmmm... what about Katchy?! I will talk to him tomorrow about it, after we rehearse at 9 AM. In order to get into Bartos at 9 AM, I'll visit the facilities manager at 8:30 AM to request that someone opens the door for us.
Other things that could potentially go wrong are that
(1) I run out of paid credit on the cell phone account
I just checked and there's $3.85 left on the account and I filled it up with $25 only... days ago!
Tomorrow morning I'll add another $25. And print out the receipt so I can get reimbursed!
(2) The number of messages received/stored on my PC could get over that magic limiting number and then my program would stop getting new messages!
So I will delete all stored messages right now and remember to check that too many have not built up when (if) I have any trouble with the demo tomorrow. Okay, that's done.
(3) Someone will find the bug I found this morning in which info where jobID is not a valid jobID is not handled properly.
So I will fix that bug tonight, so no one can find it, because it won't exist! :-) Testing the fix right now... Fixed!
I think that's all the problems I can think of! I'm going to go ask some of the other "users" (my friends in my dorm) to message my program now to make extremely sure that the live demo will work tomorrow--with anyone's phone!
I'm really excited. :-)
