Agenda for April

Fixes for Dijkstra algorithm and starting A* algorithm

Well, the boundary problem has been fixed, but now the algorithm is broken and it should take some time to fix that part. I figure that while I’m doing that, I can start on the A* algorithm and try to complete that piece also. It should take a few days to complete both of them. I’ll have to rewrite parts of the Dijkstra algorithm and apply those to the A* algorithm.

Astrum Futura

I’ll want to work on the installer and get more parts completed for this. I think I’ll work on it in between other parts of the code. Really, I need to do some more research on how others do this before the product is released. I wanted to had gotten to it in mid-March, but never got around to it. I am in the game for this month and already started, which is a good thing. The Quantum Game Library is a good motivator.

The other parts for Astrum Futura will be other small enhancements and shouldn’t take more than a week. That is, if kept to a schedule and I do plan to, after I get worked up to one.

Computer Upgrading

It really depends on how much I can spend on computer parts. I might use credit for paying for the components, but I want to try to use cash. I already have plans to buy RAM sticks, either two or three depending on how much I can afford to spend. This would either put me at 3GB of total RAM or 4GB of total RAM. Depending also, I do want to look at buying Hard Drives instead. 400GB Hard Drives are closer to $100, so two would be $200, which would be around the same price as 3 1GB RAM sticks. Really, I have to decide whether I want to install windows and move files from my other drives or if I want to have 3GB of RAM.

If all else fails, I’ll just wait until May and buy both components. Not such a big deal, but the sooner I buy the drives, the sooner I can test my other drives to make sure they are really “broken” and it wasn’t just my motherboard acting up. I’m glad I kept all of my hard drives after all. The mirrored configuration should be interesting however.

Probably decide when I get my check and see how much I can spend. The RAM however won’t do me any good until I get Vista and the TV Tuner, so most likely the Hard Drives, unless I can’t afford it, then I’ll just buy the RAM after all.
