[19:03] michael: hi guys
[19:04] jim: Hey.
[19:04] tony: Hi
[19:04] michael: whats the agenda for tonight
[19:04] michael: i can't stay too long
[19:04] tony: I've been out of touch for a couple weeks. sorry about that guys.
[19:05] jim: We need to decide how to build this presentation.
[19:06] jim: Is any either of you good with Power Point?
[19:06] michael: i can do powerpoint... in my experience its better to do away with all the animations and other junk
[19:07] michael: google docs also has a powerpoint equivalent which we could use - google docs seemed to work well last time
[19:07] michael: i vote google docs
[19:08] tony: Thats fine with me.
[19:08] tony: Just let me know how I can make my self useful.
[19:08] jim: OK. Do we only submit slides for the assignment?
[19:09] jim: Or is there supposed to be an audio track?
[19:10] tony: I don't think there needs to be an audio track.
[19:10] michael: i think we can submit the presentation only
[19:10] tony: Unless you just want to add one
[19:10] michael: audio is only for extra credit
[19:10] jim: Cool. I think the due date for the extra credit is later.
[19:11] jim: I have a few images I have found to add to the slides.
[19:11] jim: Any thoughts on content?
[19:12] tony: It looks like extra credit would be due 12/4
[19:13] tony: It should last 3-4 minutes and use 10-12 slides which is enough for a quick summary.
[19:14] jim: I think with some transition slides it might be closer to 15 slides.
[19:14] guest-10430 entered the room
[19:14] guest-10430 changed nickname to sarah
[19:14] sarah: Hi guys
[19:14] jim: Hi Sarah
[19:15] sarah: What have we decided so far?
[19:15] jim: Michael has suggested we use a google doc version of Power Point.
[19:16] jim: We haven't discussed content yet, except that there is maybe 15 slides worth in the doc I emailed.
[19:18] jim: Who would like to set up the google doc?
[19:19] sarah: I can do it. Let me look at it real quick
[19:19] jim: OK
[19:20] jim: Michael, are you still interested in giving the live presentation in December?
[19:21] jim: The extra credit, that is.
[19:21] michael: well, i looked and there are 2 other extra credit assignments, so i'd probably rather do those
[19:21] michael: instead
[19:21] sarah: I hate presentations...
[19:22] sarah: I can't find the doc you emailed Jim
[19:22] jim: I don't think it is a big deal if we don't do one.
[19:22] jim: Let me check my emails sent.
[19:23] sarah: Is tony in here
[19:23] tony: look for the plus sign next to the subject. it was on thursday
[19:24] tony: yup
[19:24] jim: It went to your ncsu email.
[19:25] sarah: AHHH Found it sorry- overlooked some this week
[19:27] jim: It was just brainstorming. The overview slide should really just be the main points, not the subpoints I included.
[19:28] sarah: This looks great!! I am trying to get the ppt going hang on
[19:29] jim: I have found a few images that may help cut down on the word count.
[19:31] michael: hey guys i gotta run, i can meet other times during the week though and i will work on the doc throughout the week
[19:31] michael: have a good weekend
[19:31] jim: Thanks.
[19:32] sarah: Ok I am sending you guys the ppt to your gmail accts- dont forget to check them
[19:32] sarah: See ya Michael- swine flu sucks
[19:32] jim: Thanks Sarah.
[19:33] tony: Has anyone looked in to who would use the worms and compost.
[19:34] jim: The worms would stay in the bins but the compost could be used on University landscaping or given away/sold.
[19:34] jim: Should we plan to meet next Thur or Fri?
[19:35] sarah: The ability to sell it would be great! Are you thinking of seriously presenting this?
[19:35] sarah: To the university, I mean
[19:35] tony: That would definetly help in reducing cost.
[19:35] sarah: Friday would be best- Thursday I have HW on top of my son's HW, not a lot of time
[19:36] sarah: So if we all work on the slides throughout the week we should be good to go huh?
[19:36] tony: Yup.
[19:36] jim: True.
[19:37] sarah: Well, Jim you already did your fair share. Is there anyone else in our group?
[19:37] tony: I'm also wondering if the the BAE is doing any research in this area.
[19:38] jim: As to really proposing this I might want down the road but is more complicated than we want for class.
[19:39] sarah: It would be a great idea to use it
[19:39] sarah: Tony is your last name ferguson
[19:39] jim: Yes a lot of the research in this comes from NCSU.
[19:39] tony: My last name is Adames
[19:39] sarah: oh whoops so what us your gmail?
[19:39] sarah: is
[19:40] tony: tadames917
[19:40] sarah: okay let me add you to the ppt
[19:41] jim: did you still have Eddie's?
[19:42] jim: gmail that is
[19:42] sarah: Yeah I had his from the proposal, sent it to him
[19:42] jim: Thanks.
[19:43] sarah: Very welcome
[19:43] jim: So do we need tinychat Fri?
[19:44] sarah: So I was thinking when doing the presentation, we should be mindful to make it flow no matter which slide we are doin
[19:44] jim: It would be nice to have a header that's the same in all the slides.
[19:44] sarah: tinychat on Fri, do you mean do we need to meet or did you have some other meeting "site" in mind
[19:45] jim: Do we need to meet?
[19:45] sarah: I will log on just in case but if you don't want to I dont have a prob with it- Tony???
[19:46] sarah: When is the 13th?
[19:46] tony: friday
[19:46] sarah: oh no!!! horrible!!! just kidding!
[19:47] tony: We can decide during the week if we need to meet friday.
[19:47] sarah: are we planning to turn this in earlier?
[19:47] tony: Who is turning it in?
[19:47] sarah: I think whoever is the leader
[19:48] tony: Who is that?
[19:48] sarah: I think Jim???
[19:48] jim: Still? just kiding.
[19:48] sarah: or am I wrong about that???
[19:48] sarah: oh whoops were you the one who did it last time?
[19:48] sarah: I can't remember sorry...
[19:49] jim: I'm unclear how often we are supposed to switch.
[19:49] sarah: maybe it is michael... you can tell we are updating the blog with this info...
[19:50] sarah: From what I understood- it is supposed to be with each component of the project- ie. proposal, presentation, etc...
[19:50] jim: It doesn't matter but if I'm submitting we need to be done with revisions by 10ish.
[19:50] sarah: Agree- sorry about last time
[19:51] jim: It was still getting better up to the end.
[19:52] sarah: I can submit, I really don't mind.
[19:52] sarah: tony, do you have the blog or are we even doing that anymore?
[19:53] tony: What do you mean do I "have" the blog?
[19:53] sarah: the url
[19:53] jim: We should be. How do you update it?
[19:53] tony: I know how to find it.
[19:54] sarah: oh just wanted to make sure. Not sure about updating it... I think you just add onto it. Would have to look at it again.
[19:54] tony: Have these chats been saved?
[19:55] jim: Not by me. I was wondering the same thing.
[19:55] sarah: Yeah about that- I tried to save it once and it didn't work. Maybe I just could not get it to work right.
[19:55] tony: I would just copy and paste.
[19:55] sarah: Genius! Should have thought of that.
[19:56] jim: The presentation is first priority this week, but we should update the blog soon.
[19:56] sarah: Agree- were we supposed to send her the link or do you think she just found it?
[19:57] sarah: her as in Mrs. Trunzo
[19:57] tony: looks like it hasn't been updated in about a month.
[19:57] jim: send it to her and make sure she can access it.
[19:58] sarah: Yeah, we have been emailing more or less but we can just use it more from here on out I guess
[19:59] jim: Cool.
[19:59] sarah: Is there anything else?
[19:59] jim: Have we decided to not meet?
[19:59] tony: we might consider just copying these chats to the blog?
[20:00] jim: yes the chats should be in the blog.
[20:00] jim: I doubt we can recover earlier chats.
[20:00] tony: What about emails, should they be posted there too?
[20:01] sarah: probably
[20:01] sarah: Who was first in here?
[20:01] tony: Me
[20:02] sarah: do you mind doing that since you will have the whole chat
[20:02] tony: I can do it.
[20:02] sarah: thanks!
[20:02] jim: Sarah, will you submit it sometime after 10 Fri?
[20:03] sarah: Yeah, as long as that is allowed. I don't mind
[20:03] jim: My old modem can get balky.
[20:03] sarah: unless of course it is finished before that
[20:04] jim: Ha ha.
[20:04] sarah: do you want me to wait or something?
[20:05] jim: So no meeting, just everyone work on slides?
[20:05] tony: Sounds like a plan.
[20:05] sarah: sure and I will be logged in tinychat just in case-
[20:06] tony: ok. Is there anything else?
[20:06] jim: No, I guess we're done
[20:06] tony: Then I will copy and paste. Good night.
[20:07] jim: Thanks everyone.
[20:07] sarah: Bye!
