Voting is enabled

June 9th, 2005

At work today it was Joan’s last day. We went out to Red Robin for her last meal. Then when we got back we started to work on an issue that I had closed. It was getting rejected. But with some work on it we determined that it could be an external problem and not ours.

I went home and got there just in time for dinner. Afterwards I helped my mom write her letter of resignation. Then I started to work on the Cartoons for the Warehouse site. I wanted to enable rating voting. I also got the login, logout, and register pages integrated with the index.asp page.

I also did some stuff with some math today. I figured out something I had never thought about before. If you take a bunch of number then average them. Then add one number to the average that you had and average those you will have a different value than if you take all the numbers you used for the first average then add the new number to the array of numbers and average them. The reason is weighting of the average. The one average has a weight of several number. So then you are essentially assigning the same weight to the new number that is equal to the weight of all the other numbers.

This mattered because of the way I was going to set up the voting. I had to do some extra calculations to make sure the weights of each new vote did not crush the weight of all the other votes.
