Work continues on Mirupa.com, as the weeks close in and time verses work load becomes evermore conflicting I wonder how; and to what state, will my project site be in, come hand in. I have been vigorously working out a time plan for this and am quietly confident everything, as long as I can stick the plan will mean the work is finished in time.
I came to the blunt realisation that the site will not be 100% complete before hand in, the site I am trying to create on my own; and its size, is huge! this kind of project would require a team of a couple of developers and designers and probably a marketing team to pull off to a 100% complete stage in the time frame.
As design has taken up sooooo much of my working time it has felt insufficient time to develop everything I wished for at the time I started this project and maybe some of those could be what was on the original proposal submitted.
Well on to topics regarding the site in greater focus, the online friends list as mentioned prior in the latter blog post, has been giving me some problems, without boring you to death with overloading technical information, suffice to say that the function which updates on screen via some jquery magic is now and again showing a logged in user as logged out, even when the user is definitely logged in, the problem I am sure lies squarely within the switch statement that governs the logic in which the cron job will update the database and show the user as logged out.
I’ll be working on this fervently over the coming days/weeks in an effort to improve this as it really shows a terrible visual bug.
