We ended up at Katz to see what they had for dessert. I was pretty surprised how busy they were for being after 9pm on a Sunday. It was a lot of fun! https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOVzTOXG-4KvnoBRs2vKoPNqzwjw-zEYc6lvac2tf1aBlPqfOE8hspxUIZd3SPBHg?key=X0hzcEMxeDJfeXExVXdkYVFoZXF3WDRmbFIyR253 Continue reading Katz’s Deli

The Netduino has a bunch of GPIO pins which can be used for inputs as well as outputs.  I was going to need one input and … Continue reading Garage Project Complete

Look what happens when I’m not studying for school… Call Log – This is pretty spiffy, I think, and probably worthy of its own page.  It’s a database driven call blocking app.  Get your number blocked and when you call, a modem will pick up the phone and then hang up.  The home phone rings for about a half ring to maybe a full one ring and then it stops.  Call DENIED!  🙂  The silly cordless phone only stores 20 numbers.  Now that it’s database driven, problem solved!  Watch for a dedicated project page where more info and code will … Continue reading Projects in the works

UA Computer Science Day

Rob

Thursday, April 19th (10am-2pm, 1st floor atrium, College of Arts and Sciences building), I will be presenting two posters for the University of Akron’s Computer Science Day. The first one is for Software Engineering Methodologies (grad class), called Selecting a Mobile Platform Strategy. The other poster is for senior seminar and a 1 credit self study.  It is called Kismet Mobile Client. There is a third poster, Akron General Medical Center.  I didn’t present it or work on the poster though.  I did work on the web site, so check them out! Continue reading UA Computer Science Day
