Phil 5.5.2015

7:30 – 3:30

  • Was going to coordinate with Ronda, but she’s not here. Oh, she sent an email saying that her accesses were pulled. So backups….
  • Status reports!
  • Walked Dong through TypeScript/Angular factories and directives.
  • Working on the standalone WebGL Chart Directive. And I’ve totally forgotten how to handle functions in a directive.
  • Made an inherit7 sandbox. Can access the global and local part of the class. Need to make a template-url and clean up.

Phil 5.4.15

7:00 – 10:00, 12:00 – 4:00 SR

  • After a marathon writing session, I finished the first draft of the paper this weekend.
  • Going to look into making a pure chart directive for static-ish information. Not sure how angular will treat it.
  • Read Dong’s link about dependency injection. Very nice
  • Helped Dong debug some. I think… The new injection scheme works too! Damn. Only for Controllers and Services.
  • Tomorrow, we’ll get the data integrated and change the ng-switch to ng-route.

Phil 5.1.15

8:00 – 4:30 SR

  • Deployed the login fix
  • And for some reason, my machine could only connect to Google when I came in. nslookup was timing out on dns1.wcc. Poking around seems to have fixed it.
  • Helping Dong with the charting code.

Phil 4.30.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • In my defense, the 800 MB download includes a version of Angular and threeJS. With examples and documentation. So there :-b
  • Got onto one of our new servers. It also looks like Ronda is able to transfer files, even if I can’t. The new process may be to ask Bill to send the files to her for upload. I do think that at the very least, we can have all three servers share a drive for uploads and updates.
  • Spent most of the morning getting Dong up and running with the TypeScript dev environment. For some reason, Visual Studio interferes with GNUMake.
  • Started walking through the TypeScript structure of the chart code. Tomorrow, we’ll try to integrate the dataprovider.

Phil 4.28.15

8:00 – 3:00 SR

  • You can now ride a bike across BW parkway. Gonna try to ride to work when it gets warmer.
  • Integrating charting code.
  • Updating the libs directory subversion repo

Phil 4.27.15

8:00 – 2:00 SR

  • Ronda has gotten us some new servers debug, integration and production!
  • She’s going to start by setting up Java, MySql and Tomcat of the debug server
  • Mark came by with a login problem for FA. Some sort of remote object issue. Took a screenshot for Dong.
  • Installing new WebStorm – done
  • Dong finished the JSON code, now we need to integrate.

Phil 4.24.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Filled out financial NDA
  • Work on having two charts, then move into slideshow using ng-switch?
  • two charts – check!
  • WordPress on Win 8.1(?) now wants to make the edit area short. It can be temporarily stretched by using the HTML tab and dragging the lower right corner. Reverts after a save though.
  • Two charts with two controllers – check! And inheritance is working perfectly. This is my entire second chart controller definition: 
    export class Chart2MainCtrl extends Chart1MainCtrl {
   constructor(timeout:ng.ITimeoutService) {
      super(timeout);
      this.dataFormat = { // might add 2D/3d, dynamic/static, etc.
         outlayGoals: {label:"Outlay Goals", objectName:"outlayGoals", type:"area", hexColor:0xFFAAAA},
         obligationGoals:{label:"Obligation Goals", objectName:"obligationGoals",  type:"area",hexColor:0xFFFFAA},
         pm_actuals:{label:"PM Actuals", objectName:"pm_actuals",  type:"bar",hexColor:0xAAFFAA},
         facts:{label:"Facts", objectName:"facts",  type:"bar",hexColor:0xAAAAFF},
         future_pm_actuals:{label:"Future PMA", objectName:"future_pm_actuals",  type:"area",hexColor:0x00FF00},
         future_facts:{label:"Future FACTS", objectName:"future_facts",  type:"area", hexColor:0x0000FF}
      };
   }
}
  • And this is how the Angular module uses them: 
    module AngularApp {
   // define how this application assembles.
   class AngularMain {
      appModule:ng.IModule;

      public doCreate(
         angular:ng.IAngularStatic,
         chart1Ptr:Function,
         chart2Ptr:Function,
         glDptr:Function) {

         this.appModule = angular.module('appMain', []).
            controller('glCtrl1',['$timeout', chart1Ptr]).
            controller('glCtrl2',['$timeout', chart2Ptr]).
            directive('ngWebgl', ['$timeout', glDptr]);
      }
   }

   new AngularMain().doCreate(
      angular,
      WGLA2D_ctrl.Chart1MainCtrl,
      WGLA2D_ctrl.Chart2MainCtrl,
      new WGLA2_dirtv.ngWebgl().ctor
   );
}
  • Adding slide controller. Had a brief fright when I forgot to add the ng-switch and just used the ng-switch-when. Everything works though. Uploading it to my server.
  • Working with getting text and the graphs behaving well togther. And although I’ve written somewhere else in this blog, I can’t find my post of viewport relative CSS sizing, so here’s another link….

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • No change on network disks.
  • Talked to Lenny about more statistical analysis of PM Actuals vs Facts. We can treat the reqs as the population and look for outliers. Ranked lists based on performance are a goal.
  • Subversion was still having read/write problems. I attempted to change the URL, just to see what would happen (That didn’t work), but when I tried to check in again at the old Vis2 address, the checkin worked. It seems like the edit action did a chown on all the items in the repo. Good thing to know! Anyway, http://www.philfeldman.com/VisN2 is now working 🙂
  • Migrating to my new dev box and laptop. That is a *lot* of monitors…

Phil 4.22.15

8:00 – 2:00 SR

  • Still unable to access remote drives and no ticket. Sigh.
  • Still fixing svn.
  • Going to try to move the IChartGrid object to the base class and then inherit to create a new chart.

Phil 421.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Meeting with Dong, Lenny & Chris. Charts are the priority.
  • Working on migrating the chart grid to WegGlCharts.
  • Fixing subversion. Looks like the easiest thing to do is to copy over the old repo to the new one?
  • Tried copying, but the permissions were wrong. Trying this 
    • svnadmin dump /path/to/repository > repository-name.dmp
    • svnadmin create repository-name [--fs-type fsfs] <-optional?
    • svnadmin load repository-name --force-uuid < repository-name.dmp
  • Finished moving over chartbg to WebGlCharts. Creating a chart now looks like this: 
    var months:any = this.dataProvider.mappings[0];
var charts:WglCharts.ConfiguredChart = new WglCharts.ConfiguredChart(rb, this.dataProvider, this.dataFormat);
charts.setChartGrid(cg);
charts.add2DCharts(months);

  • Still having problems accessing my virtual drives from the server. Will try again tomorrow.
  • Moving common chart components to WebGlCharts.
  • Showed Dong how I’m getting server data
  • We also discussed unit testing. We’ll target the test code at the generated JavaScript, since we’re testing logic at that point.

4.17.15

7:00 – 3:00 SR

  • Deploy new FR fixes
  • Meeting with Lenny and Chris
  • Financial paperwork! Finished, though I had to go back a couple of times.
  • Since the charting is somewhat stable for the moment, I went back to improving the dbObjects to handle matrix operations.

Phil 4.16.15

8:00 – 2:00 SR

  • Charts are working. One really odd bug. The alert (blocking) dialog that pops up to notify non-hardware rendering is interfering with the render. There must be some kind of odd race condition. Removing it seems to fix?
  • Once the review charts are done, the next thing Lenny wants is the truancy reports. Then add Baseian prediction of those most likely to be late.
  • Installing software on new box
  • Got Skolded. Now what?

Phil 4.15.15

8:00 – 12:00 SR

  • My remote drives are not working on the servers any more. Put in a ticket
  • Fixed the Month1 != Month10 problem Dong found.
  • Was going to deploy the chart test but Bill had to leave. Maybe tomorrow.
  • Timesheets!
