Black & Green: Revisited
So, I finally got around to signing my java applet for my final project for one of my classes this semester, it's the one with the names of IED victims. Here's the link to Black & Green. Just a refresh of what it is and how it works. Basically it's using the iCasualties.org database on information all Coalition forces who have been killed during the Iraq War by I.E.D.'s. It then parses through the file that I have created from their database (this one currently isn't a live updating one, due to their change in formatting I hope to make it to be able to be live again). It then displays information about those who have died in text form and changes through the names on a semi-random timing each with their own accompanying explosion. This piece I'm going to end up sending to a show at Bethel University that is looking at how to memorialize the Iraq War. So, yeah I just figure I'd put it up so you all can see it and hear it, you do have to turn your volume up a bit though to really hear it, it's a tad quiet at low volume levels, but don't crank it.
