7:30 – 4:00 ESSO

• Meeting with Chris, Tangie, Carla and Tom.
  • Make the tooltip larger
  • MIPR-based query
  • Did the math on John P’s project and it turned out to be correct, but the “overview” line items had only three rows when there should have been 5. That and the Funded Budget is still dissapearing.
  • Tangie needs to follow up with her person who was having the amfsecure problem
  • Need to make slide show of scaled panels on Monday
• Working on adding slider for tooltip scaling when FB started to freeze. The only fix is to create a new workspace, check everything out of SVN again and rebuild.
• Done. Burned a disk with the new version.

7:30 – 2:30 ESSO

• Deployed the new PA and demoed it to CB, TH, and CH. Generally good, but a few bugs
• Meeting with Chris tomorrow to look at visualization
• Wrote up justification for Webstorm
• Took and hour for classwork
• JavaScript/YUI

2:30 – 4:00 OH

• Mandatory all hands meeting

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Deployed new PA, even though I had to go to another machine that could see the CD.
• Working through an issue with John Parker:
• JavaScript/YUI – finished Chapter 2, starting chapter 3

8:00 – 3:00 ESSO

• Viztool review Thursday 21 at 8:00
• Deployed new versions of PPM and PA
  • Text is graying out oddly. The short-term answer could be to leave the colored indicator grayed out, but leave the text intact.
  • Planned outlays need to refresh on save.
  • We really need to get all the “save” buttons in the same place on the screen, ideally near the upper left.
• YUI 3.5.1 is available on-site
• Got a local version ofYUI 3.8.1 running on my local tomcat server (as per example 1-8 in the YUI cookbook) . So far, so good. Now is a nice time to stop for the weekend

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Icy today. The roads were OK, but the parking lots…
• Having an odd endpoint problem. Getting a “Channel.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed runSQL – [object Operation] endpoint https://…/ProjPortfolioMgr/messagebroker/amf. It may need to be amfsecure. Testing…
• Although I like the Cloud9 IDE, it can’t handle the YUI ().use(….) pattern. Apparently Webstorm can. Getting the download (sigh) now.
• That works like a charm. To add the YUI libraries, go Settings -> JavaScript -> Librares -> Download… -> and choose the library. And webGL is supported as well! IntelleJ (JetBrains’ Java IDE) may support this as well. Something to think about.

7:30  – 3:30 ESSO

• Still feel like crap, though I am now on antibiotics.
• Meetings until noon. Dong is going to handle the Capability Review.
• Changed Reported Actual Obligated to Reported FACTS Obligated in project_portfolio
• Stated digging into YUI. While looking for an IDE, stumbled upon Cloud9 (c9.io), which is a cloud-based IDE developed initially for JavaScript, with jsHint support. Trying out some YUI code from the book. So far, so good! No server side Java support though. Need to see if the code can reach out to a dev server.

8:30 – 4:30 ESSO

• Was going to go to CASPORT users group, but had to write a status report for Jim G. instead.
• Backups
• More Javascript OO programming today…
• The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library was the first to include parasitic combination inheritance in a widely distributed JavaScript library via the Y.extend() method. YUI is a free, open source JavaScript and CSS library for building richly interactive web applications.” Nice documentation and examples…
  • And it already has a logging console!
• Jumped ahead to tools and found jshint, which is at http://jshint.com. There is also another lint, JavaScript Lint that runs in windows explorer. it’s here: http://www.javascriptlint.com
• Ok, I think I’m going to try some YUI tutorials. Confident enough to get the Kindle edition of the YUI 3 Cookbook. I need some standalone examples.

8:30 – 4:30 ESSO

• Bronchitis. Urk.
• Backups, and some fixing of databases, as well as acknowledging all the alerts. We really need to turn some scripts off tomorrow.
• Showed Carla how the issue was really bad labeling of what the “1 of 4” items actually were.
• Javascript
• So this is how you define an inheritable class:
• Wow – this overwrites the value in the base parent Object, so that every instance of the superclass or subclass now say “foo”:

  SubType.prototype.saySuperName = function(){
  return "foo";
  };

• This appears to be a good way to do inheritance:

  	//--------- SuperType definition ------------
          function SuperType(name){
              this.name = name;
              this.nickName = "None";
              this.colors = ["red", "blue", "green"];
          }
  
          SuperType.prototype.setNickname = function(nickName){
  			this.nickName = nickName;
  		}
  
          SuperType.prototype.sayName = function(){
              alert("Name = "+this.name+", Nickname = "+this.nickName);
          };
  
  	//--------- SubType definition ------------
          function SubType(name, age){  
              SuperType.call(this, name);
  
              this.age = age;
          }
  
          SubType.prototype = new SuperType();
  
          SubType.prototype.sayAge = function(){
  			if(this.nickName == "None"){
  				alert(this.name+" is "+this.age+" years old");
  			}else{
  				alert(this.nickName+" is "+this.age+" years old");
  			}
          };
  
  	//----------- sequential code --------------------
          var instance1 = new SubType("Nicholas", 29);
  	instance1.setNickname("Nick");
          instance1.colors.push("black");
          alert(instance1.name+"'s colors are: "+instance1.colors);  //"red,blue,green,black"
          instance1.sayName();      //"Nicholas";
          instance1.sayAge();       //29
  
          var instance2 = new SubType("Greg", 27);
          alert(instance2.name+"'s colors are: "+instance2.colors);  //"red,blue,green"
          instance2.sayName();      //"Greg";
          instance2.sayAge();       //27

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Backups.
• There is an issue where an item that is showing up in the Line Item View in PA and the Financial Data Entry view in PPM is not showing up in the Status View in PA. I’ve taken screenshots on what I think all the relavent pages are.
  • Turns out that’s a feature. That particular project is complete, and does not remain to fill out. Dong will verify on Mondy, but we’re betting that’s the case.
• Javascript.

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Backups
• Got comments from Chris and Carla. Handed off to Dong
• Lunch with Diane
• More JavaScript
  • Looking at how to implement the Data Dictionary
• Leave promptly at 4:00! Class!

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Meeting with Chris, Thom, Carla, Lenny and Dong. The notes are here.
• Some cleanup for Diane’s visit tomorrow. Also asked Dimitri for permission to charge overhead for the real move to WCC
• Went through the design of FA with Dong, which is all here.

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Deployed new Vis2, PPM and PA. Mostly went well, except for one hiccup with the financial_remediation_plans table, that took about an hour of beating on before it submitted to our will
• Walked through the potential architecture for FA with Dong. Now we need to write it up here.

Spent the morning doing PhD stuff

1:30 – 5:30 ESSO

• Working on making larger fonts in tooltips. Done. Just wound up setting the gloab ToolTip and DataTips styles in the vis2.onSliderChanged() method.
• Need to set the default _labelFieldColumnName to the zeroth, column. So that code was there in WidgetBase.listColumnsHandler() for a reason. It was just being too aggressive…

7:30 – 3:30 ESSO

• Brought in a new version of vis2, but the colors still don’t work quite right for a three-element chart
• Making larger text looks as straightforward as setting up the magnification and sizing appropriate to the conference room screen.
• Tooltips will still be a problem. Need to get the magnification value passed to them.
• Need to include the name of the Label Column when loading from XML. Fixed. For some reason I was forcing the _labelColumnField to the name of the 0th column in WidgetBase.setColumns. Dunno why.
