Day 1.5 Progress so far

My first few hours looking into this were actually fairly fruitful.

I've landed on python as a definite go for language. I just need to learn more about how it works.

My first challenge is to create a UI that asks for a name, then python will search for that name on a memory bank (temporarily excel) and if the name is in the list it will return "I know you", else it'll return "We've never met".

Something basic and I'm halfway there. I think it's a fairly sensible starting point as recognising text input is also important.
I've learned a bit of python. I've also ordered a decent webcam. I'm future proofing the project by getting one with a microphone built in, you never know.

So I have software and the hardware is on its way.
All the gear but no idea as they say. I'm excited though. I won't be working on this everyday, but my aim is to devote a fair bit of time towards it, so stay tuned for updates.
