New Modules Installed and more
I finished up a first cut at a magic bus module today, and then wrote a framework that lets you time-split modules. For example, it is now possible to build a list of modules, assign weights to these modules, and then have the prospero system rotate through this list of modules where each module is displayed for a time relative to it's weight. In this case I added this module to the main prospero display, so it now rotates between user contributed pictures from flickr and the bus schedule. Hopefully, this will increase the number of people looking at the display.
The next step would be figuring out how to dynamically assign these module weights based on who has identified themselves to the machine.
In other news, I lowered the image cache for the flickr module, so now when it prioritizes people who are in the room, there will be less lag between identifying yourself and seeing the pictures you have selected.
