ITEC 720: Field Study at the Exploratorium Check-In Week 6

  • Competent Candidates FIXED! (And now running local):
    I will update the wiki entry for it with a tad more detail, but it involves a simple installation of WAMP, creating a mysql database and table within that database, creating a user 'web' with password '***' that has write permissions on the database, and copying all of the files in the zip archive to a folder called 'candidates.' There was a different, encrypted authentication scheme happening with the original version, because it was transmitting data back and fourth from the internet. Because the program is only talking to itself on localhost now, there is no need to deal with setting up encrypted authentication on the database and adding 17 more steps to the kiosk setup process.
  • I'm also changing the math in the program to accurately reflect how the voting of Exploratorium visitors compares to the actual voting results, and adding a small display area for "visits today" similar to the genetic traits exhibit upstairs if I can have Bill's blessing to do so.
