8:00 – 4:00 – ESSO

• Deployed Dong’s new PA, but there was a problem, so we pulled it back.
• Updated MySQL and Java, as per instruction from corporate. Don’t forget to update max-packet-size in my.ini to 100M
• Due to the inability of the ADF client to adjust the size of columns as a container resizes, I’m starting to have doubts about the choice of JDeveloper. I might not if the documentation were better (i.e. the Flex documentation with simple examples). But I’m not having good feelings about going down the Oracle path.
• I did find this page that points at JavaScript charting packages. Going to spend the rest of the day looking at that. Here’s my subset of the list that I think might work for us.
  • Minimal or no dependencies
    • CanvasXpress
    • D3.js
    • Flotr2
    • JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit
    • Processing.js
  • Require general-purpose library (e.g. jQuery)
    • Flot
    • jqPlot
    • jQuery-Visualize
      • The above is designed(?) to support a book Designing with Progressive Enhancement. So there is some built-in training here.
    • RAP
• Now, if we start writing without a compiler to lean on, we’re going to need something like Lint. Here’s some discussion.
