  • There is an endpoint problem. Took screenshots for Dong to peruse
  • Meeting with Tangi
  • Impromptu meeting with Bill
• Renewing my ACM membership
• Submitting reimbursement for patent application fees
• More work with Mike’s Google interface.

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Spent the morning working with Mike to try to get the Tomcat filter to connect to the PKI server. For some reason the certs are coming back as null. More poking is required.
• Sent my self-eval to Chas
• Interesting: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2011/10/google-cloud-sql-your-database-in-cloud.html
• Setting up a non-mobile project to use Mike’s Google interface.

8:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Talked to Bill D, mostly about not freaking out Stark.
• Dong met with Tanji. Meetings will be either Monday or Thursday, with donuts. Since Monday is a holiday, first donuts meeting will be Thursday.
• Got admin privileges. Mike thinks he’ll have some code to test tomorrow or so.
• Going through Mike’s code to see how he’s talking to Google.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Spent the morning doing paperwork and helping Mike get permissions to use our servers
• Went over the wizard basics with Dong. He thinks he’ll have something by the end of the week.

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Talked to Bill yesterday, and he wants the desks occupied as much as possible, so I’ll be logging here less.
• Port 443 on the integration box is open! And is visible to both networks!

8:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Well, I’m back. Fin  vacation. pix are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/21701734@N04/sets/72157627607863835/ if you’re interested.
• Went over what Dong has been working on. We’re going to see if his form work can be used as the basis for the Project Manager’s wizard
• Tried loading up Mike’s code, and discovered that there was a POM file, which did could not find the parent POM.  Waiting for M2 to update indices. Works with the command line/mvnAssist
  • Looks like I was pointing at the default m2 settings.xml file. Re-indexing.
  • Working now
• Mike came over to check in the Java side of the code and help me build it. We installed on Google. About to try it on the phone proper.
• Yay! Success!
• Going over to check on our new desks and talk to Bill

7:00 – 12:00 VISIBILITY

• Day before vacation. I wonder if I’ll be able to mow the lawn or if it will rain? Dong rode the motorcycle in, so my guess is that it will be torrential.
• Cleaning up and documenting
• Added exploding pie charts to the mobile app. THere is one problem that if the user selects the chart while the effect is playing, the “explosion” component of the display becomes confused. There needs to be an effect end event that looks to see if things are valid at the end of the animation.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Working on multiple select for the data grid. Need to make sure that if the rows are sorted, the selection is either cleared or re-ordered.
• Make the dataField and valueField bindable and connect to all the chart types. Done
• Add a pie chart label function – done
• Time to comment a bit, since some of this is really not all that intuitive…
• Walked through the VisMobScreens with Mike, who got his middleware working. We also discussed what a data input app could look like. Brian was grumpy and uncooperative in this discussion, so we finished it after he left.

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Finishing up commenting the ScrollingChoosers package, then I’m going to start working on getting drilldown to work in the charting
• Need to add some logic to allow for multiple selections without the control key
  • Done for bar chart, working on the others
  • Pie and Column are done, working on DataGrid
  • DataGrid mostly working.
• Talked to Bill D. He needs Dong’s info. I reminded him that the 4 month timeline assumed one month to get development environments up and running, and three months to write, test and document the new code. In other words, three months to write the code. If getting the desks takes three months, then the effort will be for six. This was surprisingly hard to explain.

8:00 – 5:30 (90 min off) VISIBILITY

• Talked to Dong about the “Help” app. He’s going to add in wizards and write up a few scenarios.
• Working out a generic scrolling widget that you pass an ArrayCollection to and that creates the appropriate scrollers – Done
• 
• Also added a GenericScrollerEvent that takes a data (*) object to pass the results of said scroller around
• Customer flash player is currently 10.3.184.34. Need to retest WebDesk.

FP

• Brought in the new hand for Tom to play with
• Reviewed the patent application. Looks like it will be submitted on Monday.

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• My 1987 Porsche passed emissions with 30% of the limit on Co2 and 15% of the limit on HC. What were they driving back then? Tanks?
• More scroller work.
  • Added ScrollingDateChooserEvent
  • Added all the edge conditions to handle 12 and 24 hour time
  • Added military and civilian date and time formats
  • Moved code to a separate library and checked into SVN – Mobile/ScrollingChoosers
• Mike’s gotten the Google App Engine talking to web and phone with GraniteDS. Next will be to write some methods that assemble table meta information such as unique counts that the Google Data API doesn’t cover.
• Talked with Bill D. about getting our desks. We sent a *memo* about it!

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Need to do some clarification for Stuart WRT the patent – done
• Need to put together a date picker and then something more general.
• And it looks like I need to move my 401k around a bit.
• Figured out this SQL query again for Mike:
  • select model, count(model) from cars group by model;
• Visit with Bill D. Some paperwork and strategizing with Brian

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Adding a skin to the list scroller so it can have nice rounded corners
• And that took all day, but it looks cool:
•
