This page is a on-going description of the progress that I am making with the project.

Wednesday - 04/29/98

  • Continuing to collect resources. I'm having trouble with muddling through all of it.   There is so much info out there on CORBA that it's hard to take what's important.
  • I'm trying to get an outline written, but the flood of information is difficult to organize.
  • I want to collect more info on RMI. I think it may be where I do some implementation because I have found some pretty easy examples to follow.

Tuesday - 04/28/98

  • I found a bunch of good links for the main page, including a page of links. I think there's almost too much information. I keep running into a lot of technical writing which is kind of difficult for me to understand.  Hey, it'll get better.
  • Met with Dan to talk about ideas for a CORBA implementation. I showed him a Java IDL that seemed pretty reasonable.
  • Is CORBA the best thing to do?
  • After following Charlie's profoundly intuitive idea, I found some references for DCOM at Microsoft's page, but not much anywhere else.  Big suprise, huh?

Monday - 04/27/98

  • Still looking for some information. There is so much stuff for CORBA. Maybe I should just go straight to the horse's mouth and download the CORBA spec from OMG
  • Downloaded the spec from OMG...8 megs later!

Thursday - 04/23/97

Tuesday - 04/21/97

  • Pretty much decided to go with CORBA. Found a couple of links from OMG, but again forgot to send them to myself...duh.

Monday - 04/20/97

  • Looked at sites for PDP and CORBA. PDP is pretty cool! I could set up a small system with my machine and my laptop.
  • Got some links and put them into my Links database, but forgot to copy them into Windows. Oops.
