8:00 – 5:00

  • Added a PMP role under S2A
  • Added PMP folks to VISIBILITY
  • Left a note with JM on progress
  • Testing role update
  • Also looking at new web hosts, since hostjava.net kinda sucks:
    • viz-n.com (hostjava.net) baseline:
      • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 156/327/442/348
      • 6.7% packet loss
      • tracert hops: 13 hops
    • feale.com (steadfast.net)
      • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 62/176/315/162
      • 11.8% packet loss
      • tracert hops: 9 hops
    • tanori.net (mediatemple)
      • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 84/256/406/260
      • 13.3% packet loss
      • tracert hops: 16 hops
    • philfeldman.com (dreamhost)
      • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 77/171/284/170
      • 15.4% packet loss
      • tracert hops: 21 hops
  • A lot of this delay seems to be coming from us. When I ping these sites from a dreamhost server, I get much better numbers. There is no packet loss at all, and the times are better (in the case of mediatemple, they’re phenomenal)
    • tanori.net ping (min/avg/max/med) – 1.8/2.0/2.1/0.09
    • feale.com ping (min/avg/max/med) – 78/78/78/0.078
    • viz-n.com ping (min/avg/max/med) – 87/88/88/0.268
  • Struggled with the role code for a while, until I realized that the actionscript object can come across to java with the children Lists being null. All seems to be working.
  • Burned a disk of VIS2 and PPM.

Slide show improvements:

  • Group Dashboards may now also be included in slide shows
  • Widgets which are part of the saved dashboard may not be closed while in slide show view, minimize, maximize and all other buttons are available
  • New TrendWidgets and QueryWidgets may be created by drilling down in to the data of already existing widgets, these may be closed
  • Several basic transitions were added but I’m not happy with how they look, more work is needed

7:00 – 4:30

  • Deployed ProjPortfolioMgr. It works! Hosanna!
  • Spent 40 min waiting for Jim M to show up
  • Meeting with Larry about commercialization. I think we’ll try to package up the charting part of Visibility and use it as the wedge for services. Also, Ed(?) is looking at using Media Temple, so we might be able to piggy back on that effort
  • Bike seminar
  • And it took 2 hours to get back here…

Dong Shin 05.21.2010

7:30 – 5:30

  • Couldn’t connect to the S2F endpoint. Somehow, the url is getting changed from https:// (which it is in the settings.xml file) to http://. I printed out relevant stuff and showed to Dong.

  • useful!
    • find . -name *.mxml -mtime -15 -type f -exec wc -l {} ; | awk ‘{total += $1} END{print total}’
    • This is “find all the mxml files under the current directory that are less than 15 days old. Run a line count on the files and sum them.
  • We seem to have fixed the problems with ProjPortfolioMgr. Burning a disk
