The FEIT Careers Evening commences tonight at 5.30 pm in the Ian Ross Design
studio.
Student list (up to date ?)
This week readings
This week exercise : exercise 2
Lab issue : Java version 1.2 versus Java version 1.3...
Just check by "java -version"
NB Java 1.3 and Java3D 1.2
3rd and 4th year lab : /usr/local/java/bin
The issue was that there is two versions of Java on the
machine and that the default one was the old one. It has now been fixed, but
if you want to be sure, type java -version ... and if you have still some trouble,
just append /usr/local/java/bin before any of your java command (this is where
Java 1.3 is installed)

Final Exam Proposed dates
COMP 4610/6461 Computer Graphics : 11/11/02 : 9h15 to 12h30
COMP 6443 Internetworked Virtual Reality : 18/11/02 : 9h15 to 12h30
If more flexibility is needed, it could be :
COMP 4610/6461 Computer Graphics : between the 11/11/02 and the 13/11/02
COMP 6443 Internetworked Virtual Reality : one week after
Or if we need to stick to the yellow sheet, it would
be :
COMP 4610/6461 Computer Graphics : first week (8-14)
COMP 6443 Internetworked Virtual Reality : second week (15-21)

What if there is no text editor available in the lab ?
What if you first have to the learn the language before beginning the assignment
?
What if you decide to begin the testing step of your project 2 hours before
the due time, and that eventually a major bug appears ?
What if you decide to post your project at 23H59mn500ms and you forgot than
the "client" mailbox could be more than 500ms away from your mail
tool ? or perhaps is full ?
What if you are so used to program at night that you forgot that midnight
isn't in fact midday ?
What if by the end, you get so tired that you send the wrong version ?
What if the last video data projector get stolen the day before your presentation

What you have to both say about the project. What is good, what is bad, and
what you would have done better with more time or better organisation.
Why Java is such a great choice for you do do that assignment :-)
Does the project looks like what I should expect on that testing machine ?
Some question to check that you have both well understood all of it.
