Student Name	Bogolin Simion Vlad
IRC nick	vladbogo

Studied the existing framebuffer implementation
Researched to see exactly what framebuffer functions are called when using the rt command

Weekly milestone:
- Start working at the "open" function.
19 May:
- Started creating a new Qt framebuffer: I started by creating a txt framebuffer that just logs function calls.
20 May:
- Mostly a break day
21 May - 25 May:
- In this interval I had my final exams

Weekly milestone:
- Make up for the lost time due to exams
- Implement the open/close functions
26 May:
- I had my last exam so from now on I will focus on the project.
- Worked a little bit more on the txt framebuffer
27 May:
- Worked at attaching the txt framebuffer to the display manager - the txt framebuffer is almost done.
- Studied the existing "open" functions.
28 May:
- Attached the qt framebuffer to the display manager.
- Started working at the "open" function.
29 May:
- Continued working at the "open" function - it should be done shortly
30 May:
- Researched how the raytracer uses the framebuffer and attached the new framebuffer to it.
31 May:
- Mostly a break day.
1 June:
- Break day.

Weekly milestone:
- Finish implementing open/close and start working at the write function.
2 June:
- Continued working at the open function: created an empty window - the function should be done tomorrow.
3 June:
- Basically finished the open function - some changes might be needed during the implementation of the other functions.
