7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Fixed a bug with multivariate summaries that was working fine yesterday…
• Add probability testing to within-groups testing?
• Add tuning of probability methods to panels
• Test all this stuff?

7:30 – 6:30 VISIBILITY

• Added probabalistic direct p calculation to ANOVA and MANOVA.
• Deployed new PPM. Seems to be OK. Asked Christie to try it out.
• Was actually able to get to the password section of the server login. Went through all kinds of permuations on how to log in with Allan N., but no luck. At this point it looks like we need *another* account. I put in the appropriate ticked.
• Wrote up status and sent them to Brian and Bill.

7:30 – VISIBILITY

• Burn a disk and attempt to deploy new PPM this afternoon.
  • Found two bugs:
    • In the Funding Request Form, if the Description is long enough, it causes scroll bars to appear
    • When trying to save out a spreadsheet, I got an “Error Exporting Data: Error #2007” Alert box
  • Other than that, the upload process went well using the web interface, so I don’t have to go through the shared drive.
  • Tried again to contact Alan N. No luck by email or phone.
  • Bill asked me to inform Denise P., but she’s on leave starting today and ending late next week
• Upload presentation – done
• Add type and MANOVA support to within group and multifactor widgets – done
• “Add All” added to sources
• Showing an alert() if one of the commands fails.
• See if I can make a better interaction plot, at least with the multifactor widget
• Add plotting to the console
• Added interaction.plot to RManova. Need to do the same for RMultifactorRepeated
• Added PPM bugs to all the places we list them 🙂

7:30 – 1:30 VISIBILITY

• Added post-hoc probability adjustment
• Ran errands…

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• When I went in for my meeting with Trish and Christie, I found that Trish had called in sick. We will have to reschedule. Did talk to Christie a bit.
• Somehow managed to blow away my firefox cache and spent a while trying to put that together again.
• Tried logging in again with PuTTY – no luck. Tried to contact Alan Neff, but he was not in yet. Will have to pick this up again later today.
• Tested Dong’s PPM code and promptly broke it. It’s a knack 🙂
• Went back to the customer, but was unable to connect with Allan N.

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Multi-factor, within subject widget today – done
• Adding roles to whitepaper – done
• Tried to log into the new server. No luck. Brian did too, and couldn’t get in. It may have been that our accounts had not been activated?

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Happy Earth Day!
• Here’s the list of additional items from Christie
  • On the Financial Data Request (the Monthly Status Report), under the Contract information — “Amount” can be removed – it is the same thing as “Contract Amount”. One will suffice.
  • Where is the “pilot data” you used for the example of the Update Financial Data Request (The Monthly Status Report)? We just want to be sure that the request form is pulling the correct data.
• Added new items to the PPM list and the Bug Tracker. Also, fixed the statuses of the bugs that I submitted on Wednesday from ‘closed’ to ‘new’
• I have a server account and password!
• Talked to Trish. She, Christie and I will meet Tuesday at 8:00

7:30 – 3:00 VISIBILITY

• Here’s Christie’s list from yesterday
  • Had a remote object fault where a send failed – Channel.Connect.Failed error – this happens when trying to “Create a Funding Request”. So that error has re-occurred.
  • When changes are made in the “Financial Status” data (i.e. Enter and save comments in a line). The updated entries do not save. For instance, I save the comments, return to the line and the comments I saved are no longer there.
  • When modifying a “Funding Request” and selecting a funding request to modify, we should be able to select a funding request based on the FY, Description, Appropriation and Funding Request Type. (i.e. MIPR, FAD, EA) – we don’t need to know the creator or mailing address
  • When entering information in Tab 3 (Finance Data), we should not be forced to add contract information as we often times do not receive this information until later. We should have the ability to enter what we can.
  • On Tab 2 (Funding Request Details) we should not be forced to enter the Period of Performance or the Obligation Deadline date. We should have the flexibility to fill this information in at a later date as well. In other words, all dates should have the ability to be left blank – we should not be forced to enter something just for the sake of entering something. It is much easier to go back and update when you see a blank space, than when you just put in any date
  • The “Search” feature under Tab 3 (Finance Data) for the purpose of selecting a contract is not working and all of the contracts are not available to select. The contract options run to the end of the screen and you cannot scroll down to view the other contracts.
  • Many of the SOWs are very lengthy. Not sure what, if anything can be done about that.
  • When creating a Funding Request, you must select the project. However, once you are actually in the Funding request, it does not state anywhere, which project you have selected. Suggest displaying the name of the project and the FY
  • Has the classification tool been discussed? Much of the exec summary is marked (S) and normally any funding information in marked (TS).

7:30 – 4:30VISIBILITY

• More repeated measures math confusion for today!
• Updated variance object to store strings without choking
• Showed Jared how to use MavenAssist
• Got repeated measures working, after futzing with a lot of parsing issues
• Try to upload some data to the server today? Nope, but did get in and talk to Bill. Brian also worked with Denise a bit to get me my admin account. In addition, Christie sent a list of bugs for PPM that I need to enter.

7:30 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

• Afternoon semi-scheduled meeting with Brian, Bill D., and Denise P.
• General clean up and bug fixing. Need to revisit the Power Wizard. There is a problem when calculating group size. Also, I really need to parse the result
• Mike F. Would like a demo of visibility.fgm.com. Had to fix my role permissions, but now everything seems to be working OK. Meeting is now scheduled for Monday at 1:30
• Showed Mike how to kickstart his bike

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Xray and ultrasound at 1:45
• Talked to Dong about the Scripting engine a bit. He’s going to take a look at a Jython tutorial. Also, showed him how to disable the “import” censor
• Finishing up MANOVA – done. Not much in the way of graphics…. Need to poke around the web
• Cleaning up makeTable()
• Pinged Trish, who is still busy. She asked me to stop until she sends an email stating that she’s looked at the printout.

• Walked though desktop manager stuff with Mike

7:30 – 6:00 VISIBILITY

• Added some one-click test data
• Meeting with Trish. Put off for another day
• Got pinged about my admin account request. Responded that I was still waiting.
