7:30 – 12:30, 2:30 – 6:30

• Quiet day, waiting for the snow to start.
• Talked to Dong about how to do alerts. We talked about having a table (table_alerts?) having an id, state (RELEASE, DEBUG, DISABLED, etc), time to execute, and a script. After poking around for a while, I think jython might be good for this. Here’s a description of how to call the jython interpreter on some python code within java: http://www.seanet.com/~bugbee/python/jython4.html. More later, after the group save.
• Got Mike’s additions to the code that fix the number/string issue. Need to incorporate and validate. Also spent some time corresponding about the KF system project.
• More work on group save. Needed to change how the test code created a user with groups, which led to some other things, etc. The next steps are going to be to build a list of all groups that the user can ‘see’, and then compare them against the FlexTree that comes back from the getGroupDashboardTree() method. Which means I need a way to look through the FlexTree. Monday.
• Leaving early because of snow.
• Worked from home, trying to get code talking to the SpaceNavigator. I can talk to it, but I can’t get any readings. Grr.

7:30 – 4:00

• Worked on getting “go visibility” working
• Adding in group dashboard save. While I’m at it, adding in some better testing for UsersAndRoles.java
• Got the “AddGroupDashboard()” method working and tested. Next is to return a group tree like the user tree. Can’t use the getDashboardTree() method becuase we’re federating across groups rather than users. The groups returned need to be the one’s that are visible to the user as well, so that makes things different.

8:30 – 9:30, 3:30 -6:30

• John W asked about the rollout of the new version, I said that we were waiting to nail down a few bugs.
• Spent most of the day discussing Powergrid IP with lawyers WRT Nintendo
• Interview
• Got Tom started on the 3dConnexion SDK
• Setting up dashboards so that they can be saved to group (roles) that the user belongs to instead of just the user. I’m going to have to add a “groups” column to the table_dashboards, which means:
  • Adjust table_dashboards. Hopefully, createTables() can be modified to fix easily
  • Adjust TableInfoObject on the Flex and Java sides to include groups
  • Adjust methods that use TableInfoObject.

7:30 – 4:00

• Verifying Mike’s changes
• Adding “Comments” section to VisContainer. That way comments are associated with a dashboard and not data. Done. Weird issues with html not properly being rendered in ‘escaped’ form in vis2, even though it was handled just fine in the same class in my sandbox. Sigh.

8:00 – 3:30

• Nothing new onsite
• Rolling in Mike’s changes. Test out on Laureldemo
• Making a TextPanel that will work with text using the current TextArea until Adobe gets TextFlow working properly – or until their documentation can explain to me how to effectively reload a TextFlow object. Grrrrr.
• May take off early to look at countertops
• Called Anita Komlodi about PhD program
• So in 1/2 day, I was able to make my text entry work with a RichTextEditor, instead of a week banging on TextFlow. Going to work on rolling in component.
• Webex meeting at 1:00
• Talked to Bill Howard about oceanic data. He said put some fake data together for the demo. Later.
• Integrate TextSaveStatePanel tomorrow.
