  • joshwilsonpiano1 Josh Wilson, Digital Marketing Coordinator at Astonish Results I actually appreciate the technical slides that CLEARLY delineate what load was actually being placed on the servers -- UCF's 'system disruption' argument is solid bunk. But kudos to you for handling yourself and your interviews with the media outlets with such dignity and panache, friend. Makes their frenzied chest-thumping seem positively juvenile by comparison. Honorable, sir. Commendable. 10 months ago

  • BugsWebbot BugsWebbot Suggestions - Enlarge slide 4, it is barely readable. Slide 6- state the problem before your solution. '- UCF expanded dramatically in the past 10 years from ____ students to ____ students. - Parking facilities did not keep up creating extreme dissatisfaction among students trying to park and get to class on time. - Solution proposed.' Then Slide 8, Slide 9, then introduce the solution: Slide 6, 'Working solution to meet student needs and increase student satisfaction proposed to UCF Administration', then Slide 7. Same presentation for the U Could Finish app. State the problem (Same start, growing pains due to growth, Overcrowded classes preventing students from graduating on time, solution - an app students can use to automatically search class registrations for openings, UCF's reaction - shut you down and punish you without warning. Shut down, but why punish?). The Student Conduct Case should be a separate Powerpoint to keep the introduction of your excellent innovative idea from being the battleground. The description of how U Could Finish works should be a separate Powerpoint linked for those interested in your technical prowess (a potential employer does not want/need to see your conflict with UCF). Also, potential supporters at UCF not as tech savvy might be confused by the details. Slide 17 looks like it has an error at bullet #4 (1234). Slide 47 - the question 'If servers are monitored as stated, no problem was found or reported. The solution to overload is block the source and/or contact the app creator, neither was done.' Slides 48 - 53 are tough to read and above non-techies heads. Remember that your audience stretches beyond techies. You want general support from those who would love the app but have no idea how it works. Most people could care less about the technical specs behind an app, they just want it to work. Your primary point is - the app worked, people needed it, wanted it, the university opposed it, shut it down, and went beyond shutting it down, they punished you. Sounds like you bruised some egos at UCF and they wanted revenge. Hope this helps - you obviously have talent :) 10 months ago
