Right after I made the post I got in contact with the school in regards to fixing it. After 5 days, the problem is solved! Yay!

This is just a quick update on where DartmouthRoomSearch is. It finally comes up on the first page of Google when you search "dartmouth room search"! And it's first! I've been using Google Analytics to track hits, which has been interesting.

There's a security problem with Banner. It's not huge, and the system does have safeguards against it, but they aren't tailored to the problem. The problem comes about with "Request an Unofficial Transcript - PDF version". The web version is fine: you need to be logged in to access that. The PDF version, however,...

I recently got my USB adapter for the Kinect in the mail. I set it up, and the USB device wasn't recognized. I downloaded the SDK 2.0 from here and got to work. You have to unplug the Kinect, run the software, and then plug it back in. Now it recognizes as a Kinect (note that I had to use a USB3.0 spot for it).

Using an XBox One Kinect and the adapter for USB, you should be able to take a mapping and use the SDK to make a 3D model of you. I'll get it and see if it's possible.

There's a fantastic book called Snow Crash written by Neal Stephenson. It touches on a ton of subjects including history, linguistics, religion, and computer science. The main part of it that I love is the idea of the 'Metaverse'. Basically, there's a publicly accessible virtual world. Anyone with a computer can...

The first part of solving a problem is clearly defining it. For the app, I needed to make it clear what the app was going to do, and what it wasn't. This is also an easy way to think up new features. I brainstormed on a sheet of paper until I had a clear idea of what the purpose of the app was.

Weirdly, there's no vector graphic or even large version of the Lone Pine logo at Dartmouth. I made one, so you can download either a black and white png or the original Illustrator file.

Whelp, the laundry swipers aren't working. Again. Apparently, CBORD released an app that works with our brand of laundry controllers (the ever so fancy LR 3000). But has Dartmouth implemented it? No...that would be too technically progressive. Sigh.

Alright, fantastic 3AM/avoiding essay app idea. It's an easy way of keeping track of line. The basic goal is that it makes it super quick and easy to add people to line for pong and rearrange them.

I picked up the domain for 9 bucks and transferred the website to there. dartmouth.alexbeals.com redirects there now. Probably should have done that before releasing, but ah well, it's done now.

I quickly did some visuals, and ended up with this 'passable' work: It worked, to be sure...but it didn't look GOOD. The first major problem was the color scheme. I'm not sure why I went with the blue, but I realized that I probably should have gone with Dartmouth colors. I went to the Dartmouth website, and took...
