IMPSERVER

{ November 18, 2007 @ 1:09 am } · { Uncategorized }

Hi,

To anyone who decides to read this. it’s a rant.

I haven’t used this blog in a while, but I think it’s time I used it constructively.

This one’s about the impserver. Some critical feedback for the future.

Our current project requires us to create social networking websites which rely on people physically visiting and using our websites before submission.

I’m trying to look at my own website right now. and guess what? I can’t see it. Why? Probably because the impblog’s being accessed, or a few fellow imps are trying to checkout their own projects.

Let it be known, however, I’m not blaming individuals as everyone’s been really helpful.

However, this is a rant about the time ratio during this project that I haven’t been able to work on my site, because the server’s connections need to be killed again.

“But what about the design view on dreamweaver?… use that instead you lazy git!” you might say. Unfortunately that’s a laughable concept. Checkout the attachment to this post below, and then, if the server lets you, look at my actual site: “http://impserver.bournemouth.ac.uk/~rmuhammad/index.php”. It’s funny how Dreamweaver works. or doesnt work.

I rely on the impserver.

I feel like I cant put my all in because I can’t see if what I’m doing is working, therefore it takes 20 times longer. Also, I can’t share my work or allow people to socially interact with it. On top of that, which I’m not sure of, apparently, you can’t even upload things from outside uni. So if this IS the case, Our brief should not have lifted our ambitions for this project.

And here I was all excited that my site may actually catch on in real life. Pah!

Maybe its too much to ask for… maybe an impserver in Second life would be able to handle more than 5 page refreshes.

Sorry to offend anyone, just speaking my mind. Hope it’s fixable.

I’ll try and get some more work done now.

By the way, Matt’s a total G. Thanks a bunch for ur help m8!
