Mike 8.12.2011

  • Mavenized the webdesk-examples project and added it to the hierarchy.
  • Added an ‘all’ profile to the webdesk maven build since the skins and examples project can take awhile (over 1 minute each) to build, the default is not to build these but instead use existing artifacts. You must run something like ‘mvn clean package -P all’ in order to rebuild everything.
  • Also, by default, the examples are not included in the final war, you must again use the all profile
  • I noticed Hudson hasn’t been rebuilding my stuff as I check it in, apparently you have to turn SCM polling on and give it a schedule.  I set webdesk suite to check svn every 5 minutes after the hour

  • Tried downloading xcode again. No luck. Took a screenshot of the app store and logs, and sent that along with the all the system logs that seem to pertain. Not impressed with Apple right now.
  • Pinged Greg about getting BIAB footage. He thinks he can have it in on DropBox Monday. That’s a big file though… We’ll see?
  • Spent. The. Entire. Morning. On the phone with Apple support.
  • Deploying Dong’s fixes.
  • Saw some odd behavior with how percentages were being calculated. It looked like the calculation was 100% – percentage, but I’m not quite sure. Will pull up a spreadsheet and check the numbers on Monday.

  • PPM Changes
    • Total FY Budget editable and modified budget_amounts table to support it
      • ALTER TABLE `budget_amounts` ADD `status_amount` FLOAT NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘-1’ AFTER `amount`
    • fixed total calculation not working..
    • saved scripts
      • projects_overdue.py, projects_under_budget.py, managers_under_budget.py

  • Worked with Phil to create a document detailing how to set up a new m2eclipse project
  • Figured out to to compile CSS files to SWFs using maven, then how to do multiple ones in one maven project, then how to copy them to the WAR
  • Added a webdesk-skins project to the webdesk hierarchy
  • Moved the webdesk configuration files and other client assets in to the webdesk-webapp project so they are all in one place instead of duplicated in 2

  • Gave Dong the screenshot printout with the notes from yesterday
  • Going to try making an apple cert
    • Generated a cert request using the keychain  – and it has arrived!
    • Looks like you need xcode to get the device ID, and that’s not installing.

Dong Shin 08.10.11

  • PPM Changes
    • Added check for Outlay <= Obligation
    • when Outlay = 0 and Obligation = 0, don’t show it in Financial Status Form
    • added Contract Value to Financial Status Form
    • disable save and warn for Outlay  <= Obligation
  • Going through Maven Architecture doc
    • found that I have 0.12 M2Eclipse, couldn’t update… ended up uninstalling old and install the latest thru Eclipse Marketplace

  • Need to deploy Dong’s fixes today
  • Got my Mac Mini. Going to try and make a cert
  • Finished up(?) with the first pass at documenting the process with Mike. We’re going to try it out on Dong next…
  • Deployed the new version of PPM. On the Financial Status Page, there appear to be some divide by zero issues , and the Initiate, Commit, and PM Actuals are greyed out.

8:00 – 4:30  VISIBILITY

  • Writing up the architecture document
  • Meeting with Trish and Tanji. They are going through the tool and the data. So far, only a couple of small bugs/changes.
    • Outlays need to be less than or equal to obligations
    • The flag for ‘Received Financial Status Data’ that was set in the dialog was not showing up in the associated spreadsheet.

  • Took sensor voltage divider off the the prototyping board to make room for other electronics and put it on its own circuit board
  • The resistor for the sensor voltage divider is 7k
  • organized the box of resistors a little better after having a really hard time finding 1k resistors
  • Tried to get the arduinos sound controls classes toString to print to my console but it didn’t work.  Trying to fix this.

Mike 8.9.2011

Continuing to work on the m2Eclipse workspace / project setup:

  • Now going with a combination of flat and hierarchical: a hierarchical project containing webdesk and it’s unique projects, then common libraries as separate flat projects like FlexUtils and JavaUtils
  • Got a working version of this compiling on Phil’s machine
  • Moving more actual code in to the build instead just prototype stuff

Need to do / figure out the following:

  • Put new version in Hudson
  • Figure out how to compile css files in to skin swfs with maven
  • figure out how to compile and include modules
  • Add in or rewrite the server code to logging in
  • Figure out how to share configuration files in the maven and flex builds (the same file needs to end up in different places)

  • My Eclipse IDE is *still* updating indices. Maybe it does that every time it starts?
  • My membership in the iOS dev center is now live, and I can get to the provisioning center.
  • However, I still need a Mac to create a cert application. Well, that should show up today.
  • Flailed at IDE workspace with Mike for a few hours.
  • Talked to Denise P about the whole server issue
  • Completed Classification training

Start: 9:20

  • Got the sketch to work with the sound libraries.  I can now instantiate the classes for controlling more fingers when needed.
  • Looked into a c/c++ audio api:  BASS audio library looks pretty good.  It has effects and everything needed to record and playback various file formats.  Haven’t played with it yet.  There is also a version for JAVA.
  • Added a message class to the computer com console program.  This is used to receive the outputs of various classes and help organize them by priority grouping.
  • Will experiment on Monday to see which way is best to mount the exciters to the prototype tube .  Also going to put the electronics together for the second fingers amplifier.  I hope the SOMO can output to two channels.  We’ll see, if not i guess i could use the oscillator as a second audio source.

  • More playing around with integrating Maven and Eclipse and our development methodology
  • Wanted to try developing an iPhone app, but Apple requires a Mac. And the purchase of an iOS developer’s program
  • Worked through Mike’s new version. I am *not* happy with the way that m2 works with eclipse. We could make the code compile in Eclipse. We could make the code compile outside of Eclipse with Maven. We could not get the code to compile with Maven in the IDE.
  • Some interesting progress on our problem server. Vernon sent me an email that the port problem had uncovered a bigger problem. No timeline on resolution though.
  • Talked to Trish. She wants the budget on the status to be user editable and not coupled to other data. They are still intending to meet on Monday.

  • Today the fuel line on the BMW went. What did I ever do to the Germans?!
  • Trying out Mike’s new flat structure – waiting for the maven indices to index first.
    • We tried some variations on this, none of which are all that satisfactory. The ‘materialize’ option only works if your code is java. The current thought is to make a minimal “Server Project” hierarchy that contains a SWFs and JARs and produces a WAR under a parent POM. Anything that is generally useable, such as javaUtils, goes into the flat project structure and is referenced as a dependency. At least that’s the plan…
  • Nothing new on our various servers
