Hello Everyone,
One day i needed to get to my command prompt to use it for a class homework and noticed that my accessories folder was missing from the start menu. I searched everywhere online to find a solution and it gave me complicated ways for a solution, such as: download a program and then change the folder of that program with everything that is in accessories which could be found in this folder.......and so on.
But as I looked deeper into the problem I figured it out!!!! Somehow the Accessories folder was assigned to be hidden, so you could not see it when you click on the Start Menu button. So to change it follow these steps:
1. Go to:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
2. You should be able to see Accessories there and it would look fuzzy compared to the other folders. Right Click it and select properties.
3. Under Attributes, uncheck Hidden.
4. Click Apply
5. Click Ok
6. Restart Computer

Kukuicup Billboard 2
So last week I said that I was so close in making the 1,000 resources and that I had to stop entering resources and change the titles to be more interesting. So this past week Taka and I have completed that task and now I can go on in entering more resources in to the resources form. Maybe this time I will add the goal to be higher again, maybe 1200.
But other than the resources page, Taka and I have been tasked with recreating the resources page and this is what we have come up with as a mockup:
Personally I like this one, because it displays the competition name, logo, and the url.
What we based these mockups on could be found here: Billboard Requirements. Also, the project page could be found here: kukuicup-billboard2.
The billboard is going to be the recreation of the kukuicup-billlboard following the mockups above.
This is going to be another great experience because now I get to work more with javascript and html. My past projects that I worked on in Professor Johnson's class is in java, php, Content Management System, and CSS.
Tune in next week to see what me and Taka have created with the billboard.

So Close....
Last week I made my goal to make 1,000 resources for the resources page. But that had to be cut short because there were complications with the titles of the resources that were inputted. Some were very general and probably boring to the viewer that is going to see them. So, to make the titles more interesting and grabbing to the viewer, me and our new member to the UH Dorm Competition: Taka is going to go through all the resources and change the titles to be more interesting.
Adding to gathering resources Taka and I are going to recreate the kukuicup-billboard. We are tasked to change the look and the information that is going to be displayed on them. What Taka and I have come up with to work on this project could be found here: Billboard Requirements.
Tune in next week to see what we have done.

1000 is the goal
Hello everyone,
So for the past few weeks i have been concentrating on the resources page for the website. On average I think I have inputted about 200 resources a week for the past 2-3 weeks. And now we are at 638 resources. But I am going to make this week a goal to hit 1000 resources, which is twice the average that I have been doing. I think I can do it because I have a bunch of videos that I have found but I have to go through them so that I don't input boring videos.
I am hoping to get this done so I can try and get other things done for the project. I have been working on the skins for different universities in the beginning of the summer and that number is not as high. So I am hoping to get the number of skins high also.
I have found a lot of other dorm energy competitions that use Lucid Dashboard for their competitions. It looks really good; however, I hope in the future, through the many improvements that future students will do for this project, other universities will also use this design.

More Resources
Hello Everyone,
Just like last week, I worked on the resources gathering for the project. Now we are close to 400 resources. I'm not too sure of the statistics of each topic but I am thinking now that I do not have that much videos for the site. So... I need to start looking for more videos. I have a bunch more resources today for Biomass so the count should go up to 450. The hardest thing that I am looking for is Careers in Energy savings.

All Resources
Hello Everyone,
This week, as apposed to last week, I focused on gathering resources for the project. Also, while gathering information I have found new topics that could be used for the project.
Since last week was the finals for the first summer session, I did not enter that much into the form that gathers the resources, however, I did note resources down to put them into the form later. So...there should be a huge boost in the past couple of days in the resources page. And now that I have more free time to work on the project, I will be able to contribute more toward it. I just hope that my contributions so far and in the future will pay off.

University Skins and Resources
Hello Everyone,
So far this week I tried to balance the creating of skins for other universities to use our project, skins for UH to use, and resources gathering. The RSS feed and the form conversion seems too complicated to work together. But I guess the only way to do it is directly through a spreadsheet because there is no one in blogs asking about a form and import feed conversion. So, I've been putting things manually. If really used, the RSS feeds could be created in a separate page in the project and students could choose certain feeds to look at.
What I worked on this week was skins for different universities. Last week I tried making themes that we could use for different weeks, but the layout doesn't work so well. But What I did mostly for the skins for different universities was to recreate the look of their home pages. You could see the university's home page compared to what I created. The only thing that I could not change yet was the tabs at the top of the page, which are green. Once I figure where the code for those tags are then I will change them right away. But I was told from my group member that he has changed a bunch of things in the layout so I'm not sure what is compatible now with mine and the new one. So hopefully not much things will break.
But here are the following skins that I have worked with so far:
Cambridge University
Harvard
Chamiade
Yale
MIT
HPU
Since this is the last week for the first summer session, I will be able to balance everything more easily and get more work done. So get ready for a lot of input from me.
