On Orbit Update - T-Minus 14 Days

On Orbit
On Orbit video section coming along nicely and will be ready for the launch. Started integration on home page of social news service called 'Mercury'. There's still some integration issues with Intercat to overcome. Style sheet for the site is also taking shape. It's very different than what we have with SpaceRef now and has a bit of an Apple look to it. The site is designed so that we can have optional layouts in the future that can be changed at a moments notice. Of course they have to be programmed ahead of time.



I also started working on the collaborative service. This is the hardest service to integrate into this platform mashup. There's just no easy solution. Especially since we have one login for all the different software platforms that make up On Orbit. I'm testing out a simple solution to start with but I'm not sure it will work. I don't think this area will be ready for launch, which is disappointing. While writing this entry I had an idea and I just tested it out with some interesting results. I'm not sure if I would want to try it in a production environment, but it did work.

That's it for tonight.
