7:30 – 5:00

• Tried to replicate John’s problem with no luck. For me at least, everything is working fine.
• Installing Mike’s changes.
• Now that I know that TextFlow can’t, well, actually *flow* text, I’m trying to figure out what might be a reasonable solution. Maybe a text widget for annotating items in VISIBILITY.
• Numerous meetings
  • Theresa Young
    • FACTS is the Financial Accounting and Corporate Tracking System. It’s part of FMS – Financial Management Solutions. Need to find out what platform it’s based on. It’s a way of tracking money as it moves from target through obligated to outlay
    • All interaction is through a web interface. No one seems to know about a machine-machine interface.
    • If we can get a ‘BF-5’ person, they can explain more info as it pertains to S14
    • BF-5 is the ‘general ledger’. There are some good people that we can talk to
    • Janet Davis -chief
    • Arlin White Sr. Exec
    • Alex Smith – Sr. Exec to Comptroler
  • Impromptu demo of VISIBILITY to Jeff Cooper and his boss(?). They want to use VISIBILITY to do something with their dataset. Could be as high as 100,000 rows

7:30 – 8:30, 11:30 – 3:30

• Had to go choose floor tile this morning.
• Working on text flow. There is definitively *not* the capability to flow around a graphic or other component (http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/2008/11/welcome-to-the-text-layout-fra.html). WTF!? Grr. Need to work on an alternative.
• Exchanged email with Yoland about Visibility capabilities, particularly WRT GIS and connected graphs.
• There seems to be some problem with IE downloading excel spreadsheets under certain conditions. Will check out tomorrow.
• Fixed a problem with the querybuilder where strings were not being converted into xml correctly

8:00 – 4:00

• Spent some time with Dong walking through using Interfaces for what he’s trying to do. Not sure if it worked because-
• Meeting with Anne and Yonald Chery of SID, 10:30 – 1:00. Which I had totally forgotten about. Had to scramble a bit to get Appboard running on my box and get it over to the site.
• Anne called. The demo went well. Apparently there are some next steps.
• More work with Dong, chasing down the reason why wrapped display objects had no parent.

8:00 – 4:00

• More Freaking Fantastic FlexText!
• 1:00 meeting with Theresa Norris Ops1 3N075-1 – Postponed to next Tuesday
• Dong needed to be able to delete ObjectWrappers, so I added WrapperManager.removeWrapper(name:String)
• Making progress on TextFlow – can now flow text between two objects
• My car is leaking radiator fluid. Getting it towed.

8:00 – 3:30

• Ingested the Infotek data successfully, but the trend widget chokes on it. Asked mike to fix.
• Looking at the TextLayoutFramework as a way to build reports. Made some progress.
• It turns out that my badge has expired, which is why I can’t get through the turnstiles. Fixed

7:30 – 4:00

• Got an “Access Denied” going through the turnstiles today. I’m guessing that this is a side-effect of switching over to FGM. Need to work this out with Brian(?) and our security officer. Talked to Brian and Angie about this. Angie’s looking into it.
• Realized over the weekend that ObjectWrappers need a “clear code buffer” so they don’t store every call for relaunch. Done.
• Commenting serializing code and adding to the Utils class
• Mike’s back!
• Installed the “Dina” programming font, which I like a lot: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Dina/
• Need to deploy a new version of VISIBILITY incorporating Mike’s changes to LaurelDemo and S2F. Disk is burned and Laureldemo is up
• Looking at the TextLayout library for Flex (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/). And heads up! Flex 4 is in Beta2 and due out early this year!

8:00 – 4:00

• Working on reading in generated XML – done!. The code parts are definately going to be needed for setting up percentWidth and so forth. THe serialized object records the static dimensions
• 11:00 Meeting with ITK
