The trial is over!!!

As you can see, I'm really happy. The trial is over. Dang!! What a stressful trial!! Okay, let's talk about what I'm doing now.

Before that, I shall introduce some KH terminologies.

Pengenalpastian Masalah
My sister sometimes forgets about House on AXN every Monday, 10pm. And she sometimes asks me to remind her about that show, since she likes that show. And for me, I just don't wanna forget about MythBusters on Discovery every Thursday 10pm.

Pencetusan Idea
I have no idea how my idea of a TV Show Notifier came out. Anyway...

Blah, Blah, Blah... Pembinaan Projek
Yeah, so after planning out my project, which I didn't, hence the "Blah, Blah, Blah", I started developing this TV Show Notifier. I made it once last time, but then wanna make something better. It's coded entirely in C#. It probably won't be very very user-friendly, but as long as I can use it, it'll be okay

Blah some more
Actually, my project doesn't really follow the carta aliran for reka bentuk. So I'm skipping everything!! Haha

I think I can finish my project by tonight, since it's actually quite simple. It works like this:

-You provide it with all your favourite TV shows an the time they show up on the tele.
-Then, every second, the program compares the current time on your computer with the specified time of the TV Shows. If any of the TV show falls on that time, it'll alert you.

So, the drawback is, if your computer's clock isn't accurate, then the whole program won't be accurate as well. Another drawback is probably lagging, but it won't be that serious. Why lag? Because, let's say you have a thousand TV Shows in the list, every second, the program got to compare your computer's time to 1000 TV show times. Everytime it compares, it had to compare the hours, minutes and seconds. Three things to compare, so thats like comparing 3000 times. It'll probably be worse if there are like a lot of TV Shows, but maybe like 10 to 100, it won't be that noticable.

Oh, I've got MythBusters now. See ya!!
