  • Got an email from Geena – she’s unable to save a mitigation plan. “To elaborate, looks like the malfunction occurs when ‘copy from previous month’ is selected, unable to save. I selected ‘copy from previous month’ and modified the data yet unable to save”
  • DB Backups.
  • Get for class, this too.
  • Working through chapter 3 of AngularJS Up and Running, which introduces unit testing. I was having trouble getting karma to run – getting the error
    • ERROR [karma]: { [Error: listen EACCES] code: ‘EACCES’, errno: ‘EACCES’, syscall: ‘listen’ }
  • Poking around led to this post, which suggested changing the port in the karma.conf.js file to 8001 from 8080. This works just fine, though I’m not sure why port 8080 is choking. I have Tomcat installed on 8080, but even with Tomcat off, I get the same error. Odd.
  • On to forms and validation. Very nicely done.

  • DB Backups
  • More Angular. Going to try to connect to the server and get Funding Request data.
  • Nope, got distracted. It turns out that the browser DOM keyboard model is not ASCII. If you listen for keyboard events (as some of the charting apps do), then it’s impossible to determine what key has been clicked by just looking at the event.charCode in the keypress event. So instead, my first Angular app is going to be a webapp that allows you to enter in a set of keyboard characters and have the javascript determine what the keycode maps to. This varies by browser and edition. Did someone not tell early web developers that there was this thing called an ASCII table? Here’s the angular directive
