I've been in contact with Andrei Puchert, and recently Reya Li'ili'i, an employee of our Science Department, regarding our magnetic stripe reader and "softwares". In the last few days, if not hours, I've recieved (somewhat) great news! As I was emailing Mr. Puchert, he brought to my attention that I don't necessarily need a software in order to read the cards. He explained to me that through "Notepad" on a PC, if we were to push F5 before swiping the card, the date and time would also be recorded- WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED! Only problem is that we don't have PC's. But the good news is that we have two options. Our group could make use of the PC located in the back of our classroom, (which hasn't been used in ages, probably) and use this for our prototype. This way as we take the data, everything will be recorded within one swipe. Buuuuut, we could also use our laptops use word, or maybe excel, but only the swipe could be recorded (no date & time), as far as Mr. Puchert knows. This is new information that my group has yet to find out, hope you guys are stoked too! Lastly, I've also been on brief terms with Miss Li'ili'i (through email of course) and she has recently replied that the TTL has been ordered. And what did I think: ONLY NOW!?!?!?! Miss Li'ili'i suspects that THE earliest we could receive the reader is Monday, May 9!!!!!! AGGGGH. Sorry Miss Li'ili'i, we know this isn't your fault, but daaaaang man we have to get going!
