8:30 – 4:30 SR

• The remote desktop on the server came up really slow this morning. This might have something to do with rebooting the VM. For example, getting Vim to launch takes 15 seconds, but the second time was instant. Going to see if it’s just a case of getting some threads started, but if it presists, I’m going to have to poke around some. Speaking of which, I wonder if Chris had any luck getting us an SA?
• Backups
• I was testing all the apps to make sure that they were behaving and had the task manager up on the server. It gets *hammered* when the RA initial query runs. Hmmm.
• Got the patent back from the USPTO over the weekend, with the claims rejected, based on an Immersion patent from 2001. Since I don’t have the hours or the budget to work on this any more, I’ll need to hand this off. That is assuming that Novetta is interested in adding to its patent portfolio.
• Javascript.
  • Had a thought about the tooltip over the weekend. It should be possible to do it as a skinnable div with border and background properties. If the width and height are set to auto, it should work…
  • And it did! Need to check on older browsers. And of course, we have problems with the tooltips disappearing in IE. Ignoring this for now.
  • Changed the module to be skinnable, so that labels and tooltips can be styled sensibly.
  • Starting a shapemanager class, since there’s a lot of special code in the top HTML now.
