I also understand your frustrations with me. My actions were not the best with the whole hashing function. I feel as a team all of our communicating has drastically dropped this semester and that worries me. I want to get pass this class like the rest of you and I want to produce the best project possible. I know meeting on a regular weekly basis isn't possible given all of our schedules but I don't think one meeting a week before the milestone worked out very well.
I am glad we cleared the air on this situation and hope that we can move past it and get the work we need to get done, done. I am ready to get done anything that needs to get done. I am willing to work on any part of the program that needs worked on. On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 12:32 PM, Doug Shook <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone.
