We have been working hard the last few weeks on getting everything in place for the demo for NIJ in Annapolis. We plan on having two windows laptops, a client and a server, as well as the iPhone for the mobile device. The client will be reading from the server laptop which is running Postgres with PostGIS as the database backend. We are using Jianfei's NIJ Project program for the visualization of the data contained in this database.

We have successfully implemented this server and have demonstrated connectivity between the two laptops over wi-fi. We have tested the demo for building blocking and some other features and I hope that this will work at the hotel, last I heard they in fact do have wi-fi available.

The mobile app seems to be progressing alright, I have finally transferred the event handlers so that Openlayers will work successfully in the iPhone. The only thing to do now is to make sure that that we can read directly from the database that will be stored on the laptop.

I should be able to complete this by tomorrow, since time is quickly winding down.
