More Cowbell...

The unforseen issues you can come across with this project are quite numerous. Mainly technical of course and hard to figure out if the problem with Pd or Flash. Either way I digress, a poor workman blames his tools. The tidying is complete, I turned that god awful mess into THIS:

Although this is tidier it is still as complex as the previous posts screen grab, but organised better. One of the Issues that was brought up by my supervisors were that if the keywords that I had set up parameters for weren't in the tweet what would happen. There were a number of different ways to approach this and I got bogged down using the post time date and other Metadata. However the best solution was suggested by one of my lecturers, to use the letters in a persons name. I incorporated a sequencer into this and tested it out.

Obviously if a user name has the exact same amount of the same letters this system will produce the same result, however unlikely this is the solution is to include postdate or other metadata as a parameter as well. This system works quite well and though a tad repetitive suitable for the project. Here are 4 different Authors and their signatures.

The next big step is to get User Testing done, then take the GUI further and 'flesh out' the keywords.
