Another has passed for me (As I work from Mondays - Thursdays) so I'll be having another one of my weekly rundowns.
The week started off with receiving a list of potential PlanLive platforms which I noticed in the PlanWidget room, not really able to discover the pro's/cons which each platform, I was glad that I don't have to decide which platform to choose.
As our Approach Plan needed revising in Dutch and an English version, I decided to take the task of revising and making an English version myself, which lasted through Tuesday and the morning of Wednesday, the latter part of Wednesday I was diving into Google Earth again and discovered another way to add Google Earth to my testblog, though still needing the plug-in.
As I received some information about a PlanWidget team member (Irving in this case, http://irvingm.blogspot.com/) about a sprout he made, apparently it contained Yahoo maps and I took the oppurtunity to dive in that, though quickly went back to Google Earth/Maps as I prefer that over Yahoo, also have been drawing some layout idea's on paper. I hope to do abit of web development experimenting next week.
As for next week, we're supposed to have a Autumn holiday period (goodness knows why), but as I don't feel the need for a holiday yet, I shall probably work also next week on Monday atleast, most likely one or two more days aswell.

Wrapping up on Wednesdays
Started off the day with finishing the english Approach Plan (Which got posted on PlanLive Basecamp this afternoon). As I did most of the translating Yesterday, Today was mainly about getting most things in their place and do some minor adjusting for the Plan.
I also managed to draw someone idea's for the layout when it comes to PlanPedia page within PlanLive, which is quite interesting as it shall become a knowledge base, yet we want PlanPedia to have something that other knowledge bases don't have.
Which brings me back to Google Earth as that is quite the interactive tool. Thankfully I did find another method for placing Google Earth onto my test blog, and I personally think the latest Google Earth entry on my testblog is cleaner then the old one I had. Probably a subject that shall keep my mind occupied aswell tomorrow.
One final note, I managed to get Adobe Dreamweaver on my laptop, which is used for Web developing. However when I tried to install the program I discovered that the laptop runs on Windows 2000 *sigh*, Ah well.
Another final note: http://planpediatest.blogspot.com/ is the link for my test blog, however you shall need the Google Earth plug-in to actually view Google Earth

Tiring Tuesdays
Well this Tuesday was tiring atleast, however I doubt it shall make for an interesting entry if I write what I've done Today.
As I mentioned in a previous blog entry, our documents (Or Approach Plan) needed revising and editing. I took up the task and started to edit the Approach Plan, As it is originally written in Dutch, the first round of editing was also Dutch.
However I intend to place on the PlanLive basecamp in the next day orso and that meant an English version was needed also. I tried to upload the document to Google Translator so that I would have a base document so to speak, however the Translator was absolutely rubbish in this case so I decided to make an English version myself.
Thankfully I managed to finish 95% Today, so it only needs little adjusting here and there.. Hopefully it shall be on Basecamp tomorrow.

Another new week
As is usual on Mondays, the Plan employees had their weekly meeting. The different employees tell what happened recently or what is about to happen in the near future.
As for myself, I had a look at a Powerpoint file which was about PlanLive and much to my surprise I saw the PlanWidget team had a list of the various platform. I decided to look into the different platforms and my conclusion was that i'm rather happy that I don't have to choose which platform to take.
Later on in the day I did some researching into programs that could suit my own needs when it comes to developing and I think Adobe Dreamweaver fits the bill, together with Notepad++ (However I've worked with Notepad++ before)

Weekly summary
As my weekend already started in a way (Placement is from Monday-Thursday), I thought I would share in short how this week went and what I anticipate and expect from next week.
The start of the week has been mainly about the team getting together and finishing our document, after a few meetings it was noted that it needed some revising, so I intend to do that over the weekend. As for Google Earth, one of my teammates managed to get it working on his blog Wednesday, while I managed to get my own Google map, work in Google Earth and on my testblog. However both methods are different so we should look at that on Monday hopefully.
As for next week, what seems certain at this stage is that the tema shall come together and throw around idea's for the PlanPedia page, as Wiki pages can be done on various ways.
Have a good Weekend

Wonderful Wednesday's
Perhaps I exaggerated a bit with the title but it was a very solid day nevertheless. Fairly early in the Morning we had a meeting with two of our project leaders to discuss our document that we put together over the last few days. I'm happy that some mistakes got filtered out as it does give a better view generally and also it won't be as likely that one makes the same mistakes.
After our lunchbreak I decided to try my luck on getting Google Earth to work on my testblog, I wasn't able to make a breakthrough however I shall return to Google Earth in a bit. So I decided to ponder about an idea which could be related to the PlanLive project as a whole however I won't go into details.
Back to the Google Earth issue, ironically one of my teammates also researched into Google Earth as the day was waning and he did manage to put Google Earth into his blog, thanks to his usage of keywords (or lack off). I couldn't help but feel abit silly afterwards.. All the same, I shall try to poke my teammate to get his blog link and if I get my hands on it, I shall inform it in a tweet.

Meetings continued
Our team was complete Today so we were able to put all bits and pieces together for our documents, after giving each other feedback on what works and what doesn't work we went back and revised the parts that needed attention. After revising the parts we made one document out of it and we're hoping to have a presentation about it soon.
As for myself after being able to import Google Maps in my testblog, I'm now trying to import Google Earth in my blog as it's more interactive, so I shall probably continue with that for the next few days. Also perhaps we shall be able to show the document to one of our bosses and hopefully it shall need little revising and perhaps make an appointment for the presentation.
