Phil 1.13.2010

8:00 – 5:00

  • Showed John W how to upload and ingest files. We need to prevent hyphens in table names- fixed
  • S14 meeting at 10:00 – Need to get some data ingested and shown in Visibility. Not sure what that means and also how much of the trend widget we’ll need mere.
  • Showed some more folks in S2F how to use visibility and ingest files
  • Moved actual parsing of code from the WrapperManager to the ObjectWrapper
  • Talked to Anne, she has a demo next week that might also have a dashboard component. Maybe the best thing to do is get the TUMMS codebase. I wonder if I have any screenshots.

7:30 -3:30

  • Forgot to drop off the user docs today. Burned a disk and stuck it in my coat. That should help
  • Working on reading in a Data Provider. Works – generalizing. Added and then deleted ArrayCollection, since Arrays are easier to work with. Added Object as a “simple” type.
  • Added a WrapperManager to the XmlSerializer package. Still only at about 500 lines.
  • Next, update the serialization so that the data includes the “code”.

Phil 1.11.10

8:00 – 4:30

  • Darn, missed the chance to enter a date of 01.10.10 yesterday. Now we have to wait for October for more binary fun.
  • Working on seeing how to connect to runtime defined data as a dataprovider to an instanced class. Oddly, this is the third time I’ve done something like this, first in C++, then in Java, and now in Actionscript. Need to go look for a documented pattern.
  • Tried to do my timesheet, but no luck getting charge numbers
  • S14 Meeting on Wednesday at 10:00
  • Dev meeting meeting here on Thursday at 12:30
  • Am now reading in XML and using it to set proerties and passing arguments to functions. Next, handle arrays for dataproviders and serialize the whole thing out.

Phil 1.8.2010

8:00 – 4:00

  • Discovered that PRIVATE is not restricting pulls. Fixing that first. No, it’s working correctly, it’s just that admin and superuser can see everything.
  • Good progress on ObjectWrapper. It can apply properties and run functions with arguments.

Phil 1.7.2010

8:00 – 4:00

  • More serializer work.
  • Put the serializer code in EdgeUtils
  • Looks like I’m not going to be able to get much more out of the serializer without wrapping it so that I can pass in data providers and such. Started on the wrapper – more tomorrow.

Phil 1.6.2010

8:00 -4:30

  • Working on the serializer – done, though I’m not dealing with hooking up data providers, etc. THis might require filling in the Array structures, which I’m not doing yet.
  • Reconstituter – done. Same issues as above.

Phil 1.5.2010

9:00 – 5:00

Phil 1.4.2010

8:00 – 4:00

  • Hmmm. 2010. Still waiting for the lunar colony.
  • More documentation. Going to try to get the first draft this week.
  • Timesheet’s broken. Can log in, but can’t create charge numbers. Ah, it’s a feature…
  • Note, make a “Default” Screenshot, with UserLogin and Cars selected. Done.
  • About halfway through the QueryBuilder section

Phil 12.31.2009

8:30 – 4:30

  • Working on documentation – but from home, since there is still no water pressure here…
  • Finished Desktop and Menubar.

Phil 12.30.2009

7:30 – 4:00

  • There seems to be a problem with queries that are very long, like the type that get produced from the “Details” tab. If they are long enough, the query never seems to get to the server. Need to look into that.
  • Got snapshots working, while procrastinating on documentation
  • More documentation – Index page is done, working on Desktop and Menus
  • Burned a copy with the snapshot fixes and blank-selecting desktop in it. Deploy tomorrow.

Phil 12.29.2009

7:30 – 3:30

  • Cold and windy today – gusts of 50mph! Brrr.
  • Deployed the new Vis2 with extended logging and found out that I had not saved my desktop image. D’oh!
  • Need to make it so that you can set the desktop to blank – done
  • More documentation
  • Need to make screenshot work with unique counts and maps. Not sure how that will work, since the image is calculated on the server? Nope, the image is sent to the server. And snapshots work now!

Phil 12.28.2009

7:30 – 3:30

  • Showed Mike C the map component. He’s going to see if he can put together a reasonable HR dataset for it.
