Time track of the [[..:Love Machine]] project.

==== 2014 ====

=== 10/2014 ===
+ Submission of a paper to [[http://www.technarte.org/|Technarte 2015 ]] open call.\\

=== 07/2014 ===
+ [[https://github.com/andrewnakas|Andrew Nakas]] came with the idea to use the mobile version of FB to solve the "liking" problem that appeared a month before.\\  
+ First [[https://github.com/xuv/loveMachine/pull/2|pull request]]. A windows .bat script to ease the installation\\

=== 06/2014 ===
+ Facebook behaves strangely. Likes seems to be valid. But then removed after one minute or so. Friends are still notified of Likes. But likes don't appear under their post or in the Facebook "logs". This behavior has been reported by many [[https://github.com/xuv/loveMachine/issues/1|users]] of the script.

=== 02/2014 ===
