7:00 – 4:30

• Working on being able to select columns and cells for plotting. It seems that the ColumnSelectedEvent class that the Flex3 Cookbook speaks of does not exist. Working around it.
• Got most of the pieces working. Need to name the plot items a bit better using the parentObject name that is in with the data provider. Tricky stuff today. Oh yeah. Need to add some comments before I forget how this all works.
• Burning a copy of the MvnAssist code and plugin to bring in on Monday

7:00 – 3:30

• Swung by the fort to deploy new personnel records.
• Wrote Anne a note laying out the plan to write ingestors, then bring in the new system to test for deployment issues, then iterate on look and feel
• Working on getting QueryEntry and QueryRelationship into GenericQueryTest
• Got rid of Query Relationship and now have relationships inside of the QueryEntry, which I think will make for easier navigation. It’s basically a set of lists pointed in a Dictionary by relationship type (parent_of, child_of, talks_to, etc)
• Second meeting at the fort. Anne wants to keep focus on development of new app, but will take the Excel tool if it pops out. Also, she *really* likes the idea of email alerts based on thresholds.

5.27.2009

7:00 – 5:00

• Working on data generators for HrmsPersonnel and HrmsRoster
• Need to write data visualization paper
• Farewell lunch for Bob R at 11:00
• Worked on getting the GenericQueryWidget to know enough about what it’s displaying that the output from one widget can be used as the input of another. Not sure what to do about the first query. I think it needs to read in XML?
• Realized that the current VISIBILITY app is not going to be easily extended to ingesting new data types. Sigh.
  

7:30 – 3:30

• Was able to upload a new roster.xml on site
• Got file uploading working here. Need to bring in and test
• Windy day. Still managed a 20.4 at 265 avg watts.
• Meeting – nope, canceled
• Officially requested some monitors
• Added a “custom query” field to the SOLR Manager. Tomorrow I’ll play with accessing the db.
• Need to add pieces to show billet info
• Dong is setting up an HTTPS server. We’ll see if all this stuff still works.

· More trying to get Visibility server to build under Maven
· Need to be able to install files on the local machine, since javaee is not available on the repo. The command is: mvn install:install-file -Dfile=
-DgroupId= -DartifactId= -Dversion= -Dpackaging=
· Adding the local repo to the repo nav view

---

5/5/09 – 7:30 – 4:30

· Dong needs to call Brian today re: Geico meeting?
· Need to have MvnAssist setup .project and .classpath files for eclipse projects – Turns out the eclipse:eclipse task does this. Yay!
· Started trying to get the Visibility servlet set up as a Maven project and promptly ran into a few problems
· First, solr doesn’t have a spot in the official repo. I found it in the apache section of the jboss repo (http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/apache). I also learned that repos have a very particular structure. It must be Group->artifact->version. The hierarchy on the website may be higher than that, but that means that therer is a “meta” structure on top of a set of repos
· Second, my repo browser didn’t know how to handle a “back” href that was explicit and not relative
· Third, since the default java version for maven is 1.3, I had to set the value in the compiler plugin. I’m not happy with the current fix, but it’s OK.
· Last, I put in the non-depricated call to archetype (generate rather than create). It’s even uglier! And I think that some of the templates are busted, so I’m forcing the quickstart template.
· Reading Brian’s RFP. Also read the Organic papers. Interesting, though I wonder about the ingestionn process.

o Item_value – Number
o Item_units – String
o Max_val – Number
o Min_val – Number
o Max_color – RgbColor
o Min_color (then a linear parametric function that maps color to value)
