8:30 – 9:30, 3:30 -6:30

• John W asked about the rollout of the new version, I said that we were waiting to nail down a few bugs.
• Spent most of the day discussing Powergrid IP with lawyers WRT Nintendo
• Interview
• Got Tom started on the 3dConnexion SDK
• Setting up dashboards so that they can be saved to group (roles) that the user belongs to instead of just the user. I’m going to have to add a “groups” column to the table_dashboards, which means:
  • Adjust table_dashboards. Hopefully, createTables() can be modified to fix easily
  • Adjust TableInfoObject on the Flex and Java sides to include groups
  • Adjust methods that use TableInfoObject.

7:30 – 4:00

• Verifying Mike’s changes
• Adding “Comments” section to VisContainer. That way comments are associated with a dashboard and not data. Done. Weird issues with html not properly being rendered in ‘escaped’ form in vis2, even though it was handled just fine in the same class in my sandbox. Sigh.

8:00 – 3:30

• Nothing new onsite
• Rolling in Mike’s changes. Test out on Laureldemo
• Making a TextPanel that will work with text using the current TextArea until Adobe gets TextFlow working properly – or until their documentation can explain to me how to effectively reload a TextFlow object. Grrrrr.
• May take off early to look at countertops
• Called Anita Komlodi about PhD program
• So in 1/2 day, I was able to make my text entry work with a RichTextEditor, instead of a week banging on TextFlow. Going to work on rolling in component.
• Webex meeting at 1:00
• Talked to Bill Howard about oceanic data. He said put some fake data together for the demo. Later.
• Integrate TextSaveStatePanel tomorrow.

8:00 – 5:30

• Showed John W how to use the ‘like’ SQL command
• Found out some about LDAT. It does look like something useable
• Took 90 min off to deal with kitchen construction issues
• Starting on the TextPanel – Got it so that I can save and load a panel, but if I try to save a panel that has been reloaded, the <span> information does not change…

8:00 – 4:00

• Gave a link to the edgeDemo account to Jeff
• Got VAccordion working
• S14 meeting at 1:15
• Need to do a text box that ties into visibility desktops.
• Got VAccordion working. Had a bit of a problem with the left-right alignment, but got that dealt with by setting textAlign in the VBoxes
• Used mvnAssist to deploy flexlib 2.4 to our repo

8:00 – 5:00

• Added ‘validation’ XML to the emplyees_standard details tab
• Trying to find out what FACTS is
  • AOC Solutions (http://www.aocsolutions.com/) appears to have done some work integrating with FACTS:
  • In 2008, following DIA’s migration to its new core accounting system (FACTS), AOC upgraded these interfaces with a new, centralized, web-based translator that today provides DIA with an automated interface from each feeder system into FACTS. A web-based interface also was developed by AOC to integrate source accounting data from the Department of State into FACTS for the Defense Attaché.

• More playing with Mike’s changes to VISIBILITY. Mike called and we worked through the issues. He’s going to work on things, and I’m going to get VAccordion working using TextFlow, which has to be good for something….
• Found a bug in MvnAssist and fixed it. All repositories are now declared in the settings.xml file
• Worked for an hour or so finding a good input device we can repurpose for the kinetic interface that we can adapt. Found some good stuff.
