7:30 – 10:30 VISIBILITY

  • Meeting with Trish
    • Values need to be compared to goals, not planned in Financial Reporting
    • Highlight if planning is below the goal, but don’t bring up the 5 questions
    • Add legends to the charts
    • If user saves an empty form, it should behave like cancel, and not save anything
    • Add commas to financials
    • All chart tooltips say “outlay goals”

Dong Shin 08.16.2010

  • FMP (Financial Mitigation Plan) Viewer done
    • added Month and FY info
  • Working on Invoice Viewer
  • added color (yellow) for Financial Data less than goals
  • ignore Planned data for FMP
  • added legends to charts
  • fixed crash problem on charts (caused by NULL on datagrid, set to 0)
  • corrected tooltips on charts
  • added comma (thousands separator) to Financial Data, more to come….

  • Played around with PyDev for a very long time and I was right, there is a standard API in Eclipse for providing language support.  Unfortunately, the PyDev plugin spreads it over 20 java projects.  I’ve found methods for generating completion proposals for local variables, local functions, imported packages (through python introspection!) but not a one stop shop for everything.  The environment variables also make it difficult to pull out snippets of code and run them.  I haven’t given up yet though.
  • I took a short break from reading through poorly commented code to connect the AutoCompleteTextArea to a back end java service that will call the appropriate language assistant.  So far so good with a dummy language assistant that provides crayola colors.

  • added View FMP (Financial Mitigation Plan) on ContractsCanvas for viewing FMPs
  • created FMP Selection Window
  • working on FMP Viewer
  • changed the chart labels to Year 1, Year 2, etc
  • added type field to financial_mitigation_plans table to distinguish Obligation or Outlay

7:30 – 12:30 VISIBILITY

  • No Trish for meeting reschedule for Monday. I believe that we will try again Monday.
  • Long meeting with Anne and John D. about using VISIBILITY for their stuff.
  • Did find a few bugs with PPM
    • I attempted to save off a filled out version of the “5 questions” form with some cut and paste data in the fields. The form never saved successfully, and the timer icon never came back
    • The vertical tab that switches between charts and data in the financial entry chart has the full year in it. It should be “Year 1”, “Year 2”, etc.
  • Talked to John W. about documentation some.

FP 12:30 – 3:30

  • Got the EL axis working and integrated
  • Got everything working with the physics and the graphics, although I need to clean up collision detection. THings are ready to demo.
  • Worked on the next version a bit. A full hand interface, without additional motion, but able to sense XYZ on its base.

Keil 8.13.2010

  • Doing some research/training on Adobe Catalyst.  It appears to bridge the gap between the graphical power of photoshop/fireworks and the web design features of Flex.  Also appears to automatically generate Flex code for skins, which is somewhat cumbersome to do manually.  Will report more when I have more info.

Dong Shin 08.12.2010

  • hit some performance issues with updating the summary data on Financial Data Edit
    • created FinancialDataChangeEvent to fire on data edit
    • Summary Data handles update of the cell and the chart instead of updating entire data on FinancialDataChangeEvent
  • Saving data on Financial Data Edit was not updating the correct data (still has old data in it) – forced the data update on Edit Complete before saving
  • packing up PPM for review
  • Some odd behavior found on Summary Data. It tries to add summary, when it shouldn’t – investigating.

8:00 – 10:00, 3:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • Clift had forwarded some questions about ingesting data from Paul O. I described how to ingest an excel spreadsheet and pointed to the Ingest Manager tutorials. Paul would also like an Access ingestor. Not sure if it would be as straightforward as setting a jdbc access jar and running the same commands we would otherwise.
  • And FGM’s mail servers are down. Whee.

10:00 – 3:00FP

  • Adding in additional axis. Working out which should be x and which should be Y.
  • When I get the Y-axis working, I’ll need to reset the clamp on the fingers so that they stay centered around the “hand”, Which is going to need some additional graphics to show. We’ll start with that.
  • Graphics are done. Working on getting the collision for the hand to be the average of the finger X-axis collision forces.

Keil – 8.11.2010

  • Almost done with “Learn Flex in a week” tutorials.
  • Some of the “day 2” content (such as the retrieving and handling data sections) seems extremely useful, although I personally think they throw that content in a bit early and some of it may be a bit over the head of someone who doesn’t have experience with web services or remote objects.

Phil 8.11.2010

7:30 – 10:30VISIBILITY

  • Nothing new on site, but two meetings scheduled for Friday

10:30 – 2:00 OVERHEAD

  • 9:30 meeting at Savage Mill
  • Worked on the redesign of the office space to accommodate the sprinkler system

2:00 – 3:30FP

  • Got the fingers working pretty well. There is a lag of about 0.25 sec or so between collision and response, but it’s good enough to see that things will work.
  • Need to add an x-axis in with collision response next. Maybe make a maze of gray balls.

Dong Shin 08.11.2010

  • charts updated on Financial Data Edit via FINANCIAL_DATA_READY event
  • downloaded and installed the latest Flash Player (10.1.82.76)
  • added Invoice Window for PM Actuals Data
  • added financial_mitigation_plans table to database
  • added Financial Mitigation Plan Window for missed goals data
  • Summary Data calculation and charting added

Phil 8.10.2010

8:00 -10:00 VISIBILITY

  • Rescheduled meeting with Anne and others for Friday at 9:30
  • Discussed Sharepoint stuff with Kiel. We’re tentatively thinking about having him write a proof of concept app that has Flex talk to Sarepoint via jdbc

10:00 – 4:00 FP

  • Integrating fingers with graphics. Changed it so I’m passing references to the entire PointMass through the dictionary. Now drawing fingers and the target.
  • Fingers move appropriately in the graphics, and collide with the target. Going to add feedback tomorrow.

Dong Shin 08.10.2010

  • working on Summary Data calculation
  • added % values to obligations and outlays
  • itemEditor and itemRenderer added to Financial Data DataGrid
  • save Data works!
    • if  any changed, asks for saving on Project Viewer Panel close
    • each Financial Data DataGrid has its own save – may not be efficient
  • % calculated on itemEditPostEnd – update % values

Dong Shin 08.09.2010

  • Financial Data retrieval works….
  • changed Project Funding to fix incorrect updates for multiple fundings
  • Goals and Calculated Values added to Financial Data Panel
  • added Summary Data Panel

Phil 8.9.2010

7:30 – 10:00 VISIBILITY

  • When checking over the query logs this morning, found that Paul O. Had spent most of Friday using VISIBILITY. He made 133 queries in 9 or so hours, spending most of his time on the LOTR and cars examples
  • Went over status of PPM with Dong. We’re going to aim for Wednesday to walk through the new changes.

10:00 – 3:30 FP

  • Working on reading the sensors. They seem to be working well. Working on calibration code – done
  • Making a bi-linear normalizing, since there seems to be a big difference between pushing up on a sensor and pushing down.
  • Update graphics to show new axis
