HOUR 1: 1:00PM to 2:00PM - events occur in real time.

1:00 to 2:00 - events occur in real time.

1:10 - Blogged about the project.

1:15 - researched if there were any similar apps. Only one mentioned that doesn’t exist yet. Might have missed something, but since this is mostly a learning experience that’s a fine risk.

1:20 applied .net 3.5 SP1 to dev machine.

1:26 looked for an ASP.NET blog entry I remember but can’t find. I really need to go back to bookmarking and use something cool like DIIGo

1:30 ARG, dotnet update is 304 MB and going to take 1 hour :(

1:31 contemplating whether I should throw $10 at a domain name for this thing.

1:36 found the blog item I was looking for http://bit.ly/IedX

1:36 - had some issue installing .net framework 3.5 SP1 - hope a reboot will fix it

1:37 realized that I didn’t put “WILL NOT USE TDD” in the list of things not in scope in the Alpha.

1:40 found this blog entry from Scott WU  http://bit.ly/IedXhttp://bit.ly/129PF that has a link to the download. Wow the MSI is less than 2MB/ (downloaded)

1:55 - windows updates completed, finished reading the blog entry I found earlier, and ASP.NET MVC RC about to be installed.

1:56 ASP.NET MVC RC setup installer had an ERROR - ARRG - think when it was trying to add the templates to visual studio.

1:59 maybe it completed. But there was still an error. This hour wasn’t as productive as I’d have hoped.
