WEEK 3

As of this week I have finished making my final tour of the CMOP stations, and now looking forward on making scripts for retrieving data directly from that database, that way the information displayed at Google Earth is up to date, rather than static. Another accomplishment I have done for the week is making an improved model of the Glider. Rather than 2-d, I decided to make a 3-dimensional figure of it. I used the Google Program “Sketchup” to draw it during my sparetime at the apartment. It is rather neat, especially when it is animated. More work is to be done concerning that matter. I already managed to find out how to put it below sea level.

But as of now, the current issue I am facing is the whole retrieving script data, because those programs have to be written in Python. I have never used Python before, but I have used PHP, and I heard it is very similar to it.
