IJkdijk
Today we have been on an excusion to IJkdijk. Here you will find a little video. More to come on monday!
Update 26 September
Today we had a meeting with our supervisor. Our Action Plan was rated good, we were told to make an appointment with Hans Appel to discuss our goals and functional specifications.
Our Planning was not yet specific enough so we will change that in the near future.
This afternoon there is an excursion to the 'Ijkdijk', a dike that is designed specifically for testing purposes. They will try to get it to breaking point to see what happens and measure the results with an array of sensors.
Myself i wont be going there, but Erwin will.
More news next week.

22 and 23 September
This week started off with college on monday. Here we where given some feedback on our Action Plan. The rest of the day we had a college about blogging and a college from a TNO employee about his experience in the Censi work field.
Tuesday Erwin has been busy with the Sunspots, to try and see if he could transfer text messages between the basestation and a regular Sunspot. This was succesful.
Myself i have been busy with how we will organise the userprofiles.
Ekko de Vries had given us a report from the previous group that had been working on this project. From this report we retreived some useful information.
We added the following options per category:
Who are you?
This part of the userprofile will contain information about the users identity
This part of the userprofile contains the users preferences, what does he allow the sunspot to do?
Here the user can select categories which will show what he is doing at the time.
For example: Lunchbreak, Lessons, Studying, Spare Time, etc.
Based on what the user is doing the sunspot will or wont send software.
Keep in mind that nothing is set in stone so far, everything is subject to change.
So far the news for the past 2 days

This part of the userprofile will contain information about the users identity
- Name of the User
- Usergroup, for example: Student, Teacher or Visitor. This will influence the software that will be offered.
This part of the userprofile contains the users preferences, what does he allow the sunspot to do?
- Does the user want to be recognized when entering a room? This should be an option that can be turned on or off.
- The user can select a number of software categories in which he is interested. For example: games, software to control devices that are present in the room, etc.
- When the sunspot will send software to the user, he will get a popup on his/her screen. Here the user will have to accept the software transfer.

Last Week
This has been our first week here at the HIT in Assen. We're working on a project called "Sunspots's; What Else?!". Our main goal is to develop a system in which a "client-SunSpot" can communicate with a set up Main-SunSpot. This Main-sunspot will be able to detect a client-SunSpot when it enters the room. Each client-sunspot will have a profile in which the main-sunspot can find it's interests and then offer the client-sunspot software based on these interests.
Here's a picture of a sunspot. On the left is a sunspot on which a lcd has been mounted, on the right a standard Sun-Spot. This week we have been playing around a little with these SunSpot's. Reading lot's of documentation and writing and installing our first program. It turned out to be quite easy. Johan has been working on our action plan and we had our first meeting with our awarding authority.
Our room
We are stationed in the Sun Microsystems Inspiration Lab (Sorry Hans). Below you'll find a picture. We all have fast pc's with at least two 26" monitors. But, most important, we've got ourselfs our own Puc(Similar to a Philips Senseo)
