I wish I had a verbal Blog !

I guess I would have been posting twice a day if I had to speak at my blog! I'm too lazy to type day to day details of my project.
Finally I've got a way to atleast post on weekly basis. My Wireless Communication class has shifted from 10:45 am to 1:00 pm, so I've decided to use that time to blog!
Today the lab got closed for first half an hour (due to some stupid tech. reasons) so I'm only left with half an hour. The second half an hour I spent in the cafeteria ;)
Okay, let me talk about bakingdelight. Up till now nothing is going good. The diagrams on which we had been working for the month of April are rejected by our external supervisor. These were use cases and sequence diagrams. I was myself a bit confused about some diagrams. I wasn't sure if I was following the standards. But I wasn't expecting such a "rejection". I talked to my internal supervisor to talk to the external that most of our work was according to what we had been taught in our OODA (Object Oriented Design & Analysis) course.
So what am I upto about my diagrams now? I've decided to follow the book "Building Web Applications With UML". I don't know when people will realize the fact that building web apps is not the same as building desktop apps. I hope the book is gona solve most of my confusions. I've seen people talking about this book on specialized UML forums.
Second thing, I've decided that I would start the development while working on design. May be some times I would be developing first and then going back to the design document to document what I did. So that would be a "what you can do" approach rather than a "what you should do" approach.
I wish I could find some more people like me who are facing such documentation issues for their college projects so that we could disscuss the solutions together.
Hopefully will be posting on next saturday.
