  • Perform some minor organisation to the Web Val 2.0 user-interface. Cannot perform debugging due to unavailability on Internet services as the network is not connected to my computer yet (on-line access is unavailable).
Tuesday 8/9/98
  • Have an hour meeting session with liaison officer from Temasek Polytechnic, Mrs. Ho-Tan Liang Gek. Discuss about project development and difficulties faced during the past nine weeks of the student industrial attachment.
  • Demonstration of the Web Val 2.0 program to liaison officer during her second visit to KRDL.
  • Touch on the report documentation, specifically on the 'Work in the company' portion.
  • Fixing the network problem, try to get connected to the local network and configure the machine I am using to the local network's required configuration. Aid help from the network technicians and my supervisor.
Wednesday 9/9/98
  • Did some project documentation, touch on the 'Work in the company' portion.
  • Search for new RoboCup papers on the Internet. Found a lot of redundant information, information that already exist in the RoboCup bibliography in the local drive.
  • Read mails delivered from the mailing list. Try to use the information and apply it onto my validator program. Cannot seem to work on my program due to some errors and different configuration and different programming codes.
Thursday 10/9/98
  • Search for other RoboCup '98 team that was not included in the competitors list. Spent four hours searching for the information.
  • Spent two hour searching for the new RoboCup papers. Upon identifying the information, I validate it, ensure that the newly acquired infor mation does not repeat in the RoboCup bibliography.
  • Dubugging the Web Val 2.0 Visual Baic program. Try to use the abort function more effectively during the validation process. Make the status bar more informative and more vivid, when the process is on execution.
