Started Preparing a paper for BACIT |
Sun, 14 May 2006 |

Completed Thesis Draft |
Monday, March 14, 2005 |
| Phew! Finally I have completed the draft of my Thesis. Currently, my thesis has 265 pages with 47917 words. I think it will be less when I remove some of the less important parts from Appendices, based on my supervisors' recommendation. | |
|
Started Data Interpretation and Recommendation |
Tuesday, March 1, 2005 |
| As I've finished analysing data, I've started interpreting data and making necessary recommendations and conclusions. After this chapter, I can possibly produce a draft thesis. | |
|
Started Analyzing Data |
Monday, December 13, 2004 |
| Now I'm starting to analyse the data using partly automated data analysing tools that I've created. I will be creating a few more automated tools as needed, as I go on analysing the data. | |
|
Officially Ended Data Collection |
Saturday, November 13, 2004 |
|
It is now officially ended collecting data. No more data is accepted as I'll be starting
analysing the obtained data. Currently, I have obtained data from New Zealand ISVs, Newsgroup users and from automated newsgroup scanning tool. No data have been obtained from International ISVs. |
|
|
Sent survey requests to MORE NZ ISVs |
Monday, October 4, 2004 |
| Survey questionnaire to MORE New Zealand ISVs has been sent out since only 2 ISVs of 5 ISVs has been replied back with the survey responses. | |
|
Finished creating some Data Analyzing Assisting Software Tools |
Wednesday, September 15, 2004 |
|
Some automated data analysing and presentation tools were created using
ASP.NET. The finished tools can be found on:
http://www.naymyoaung.name/thesisdataanalysis/
Initially, I created the tools using VBA and Microsoft Access DB, but it did not provide the necessary framework to create a more sophisticated graph generation and data analysis tools. That's why I re-created the tools in ASP.NET. |
|
|
Finished Collecting the data using Automated Data Collection Software |
Wednesday, August 4, 2004 |
| I've now collected 7259 message threads with 34556 messages from 12 different newsgroups. This was completed over 3 days (not including night time) on 2.4 GHz with 1 GB of memory, on Windows XP. Further improvements on the data collection software can be made to increase the process. | |
|
Finished Creating Automated Data Collection Software |
Saturday, July 31, 2004 |
| Finished created the automated data collection tool. However, this tool has been created using VB.NET instead of VB6 as initially planned. The reason for that is that, .NET framework provided much richer class libraries for manipulating NNTP protocol and the Internet. | |
|
Started Prototying Automated Data Collection Software |
Saturday, May 1, 2004 |
|
Started designing the software to automatically scan NNTP newsgroup message
threads and analyse the number of replies they obtained, how fast the replies
were obtained, whether or not the solution has been found and participation
of official and volunteer support personnel.
This software will be created using VB6. |
