Shoechicken Paper Accepted!

Here's the first update of 2006; Happy New Year everyone!

Well the first piece of news is that the paper Michael and I submitted to CATA-2006: ISCA 21st International Conference on Computers and their Applications was accepted!!! Go Shoechicken! Now the battle to come up with funding to get us to Seattle begins ...

As far as the project itself goes, over Christmas I've implemented but have not written test cases for the Bufunkalo module. That leaves test cases for the Shredder and Bufunkalo modules as the next two goals. After that we can move onto the User Interface Agent (which could possibly be renamed now that its function has changed), and the Shoechicken itself.

Points that came up while implementing the Bufunkalo were the fact that in many cases I either needed to listen for FeedEvents or FeedErrorEvents exclusively. I worked around this by just leaving the unnecessary method unimplemented; however, Michael and I have spoken about the possibility of separating the FeedListener into a FeedListener and another interface FeedErrorListener. We will discuss this in more detail after Christmas.
