8:00 – SR

  • Nice, symmetric data today.
  • Took my comprehensive exam again. Felt much better about it. We’ll know in a month, I guess.
  • Backups.
  • Need to retire some certs. And push Lenny on his training.
  • Found the problem with the big vis query – the cell values are being single quoted, but one of thi strings contains a single quote : ‘Carla’ Demo’. So it looks like we need to strengthen the way that data is written out. Added a regex pattern that’s defined on DbTable instantiation : ^[a-zA-Z0-9 ]+
  • JavaScript/WebGL
  • Worked through my issues with my alpha “fogged” cube. A debugger would be very helpful. It looks like there is one here: http://www.gremedy.com/download.php Need to check that out. But in the meantime, here’s the better result that still doesn’t work in IE (WebGL error INVALID_ENUM in drawElements(Triangles, 36, UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0)).
  • WebGL typescript definition file, automatically generated: https://github.com/RicoP/webgl.d.ts/blob/master/README.md.
  • OBJViewer has code to read a Blender file and draw it. Nicely, this doesn’t freak out IE. The buffers must be better put together.
  • Finished the book. It looks like three.js is a wrapper that has some legs. And it will run on IE if you’re careful. Ordered the book.
