7:30 – 2:30 (VISIBILITY)

• Talked to JM:
• Running the system on the appropriate servers by July
• Adding project management capability
• Talked to JW about documentation
• Having Tom set up VISIBILITY, Scripting, and ProjPortfolio on viz-n
• Laid out some of the issues about getting the Network widget into VISIBILITY, and did a little roadmapping on future work
• Pinged Ken Beckman about how the install was coming

2:30 – 3:30 (FP)

• Added in the sensors and set up the motor to hold the bar in place, but the readings aren’t shifting much.

7:30 – 1:30 (VISIBILITY)

• Walked through the newest version with S14 folks
  • Saving user and Funding requests failed
  • “logged in as null” on banner
  • There should be a way of creating a new project from an existing one (only the FY changes in many cases)
  • We will need to delete items that have been added in. How? As administrator?
  • For comboboxes and select buttons, include “Add” feature
  • General Notes:
    • Add Users
      • All fields should be blank
      • No ‘Phone’. Just ‘Classified Phone’ and “Unclassified Phone’
      • No ‘Classified Email’
      • New names for roles (should be common across all panels)
        • ‘Portfolio Manager (NSA)’ [NSA POC from funding]
        • ‘Service Project Manager (site)’ [Technical POC from funding]
        • ‘Finance Analyst (NSA)’ [Funding Mgr from funding]
        • ‘Service Finance POC (site)’ [Financial POC from funding]
    • Create Project
      • Does start FY have a validator for bad years (i.e 200001)? This could be a dropdown from current year -4 to current year + 4?
      • Year columns in grid should be based off of the Start FY
      • Make roles in project creation the same as those in “Add User’, above
      • ‘VFR’ should be ‘UFR’
      • ‘Appropriation’ should be a combobox
      • ‘Add Budget’ dialog should have the following fields:
        • Budget Center Number (validate for uniqueness)
        • Budget Center Name(validate for uniqueness)
        • Capability (Addable list)
        • Expenditure Center (Addable list)
        • Investment Portfolio (Addable list)
    • Add Funding
      • Populate information in funding request from project info: (project name, project number, budget center and budget
      • Move save button to lower right
      • Eliminate capability field, since it’s linked to budget center
      • Portfolio manager field can be deleted. It’s the NSA POC (which should be ‘Portfolio Manager (NSA)’)

FP – 1:30 – 5:00

• Made Dprint a Singleton
• Using displace rather than go_to_angle
• Integrating sensors. Had a weird experience where the parent class seems to not have pointed the DataDictionary instance correctly. Odd.
• Spent some time explaining to Tom how pointers work 🙂

7:30 – 9:00 VISIBILITY

• Made sure everything was working and checked on email. The place is *empty*

9:00 – 4:00 FP

• More fixing Dprint changes
• With Tom’s help, got the whole system working
• Added Singleton DataDictionary. Need to do this to Dpring

7:30 – 10:00 VISIBILITY

• Checked to see that everything was working and prettied up edgeDemo a bit
• Quick meeting with JW. Next time will be Tuesday
• Meeting with Anne. Some discussion about form builder. We’ll get together next week to put together some slide shows
• Went over status with Dong

10:00 – 3:30FP

• Got Dprint working, though I wasn’t able to get it to handle the mapping from ‘…’ to va_args for my version of printf.
• Fixing all the stuff I broke adding Dprint into the constructor for Executive and State

• Working on Dprint(). Got the basics working.
• Next, add to base control classes

8:00 – 4:00 (3 hrs FP)

• Deployed VISIBILITY with sideshows and improved user management
• Deployed Dong’s new SWF
• Sat down with JM and filled up a page with notes. Handed off to Dong
• Got glut bitmap printing working (FP)
• Now I need to set up a logging object . Started. (FP)

8:00 – 5:00

• Added a PMP role under S2A
• Added PMP folks to VISIBILITY
• Left a note with JM on progress
• Testing role update
• Also looking at new web hosts, since hostjava.net kinda sucks:
  • viz-n.com (hostjava.net) baseline:
    • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 156/327/442/348
    • 6.7% packet loss
    • tracert hops: 13 hops
  • feale.com (steadfast.net)
    • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 62/176/315/162
    • 11.8% packet loss
    • tracert hops: 9 hops
  • tanori.net (mediatemple)
    • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 84/256/406/260
    • 13.3% packet loss
    • tracert hops: 16 hops
  • philfeldman.com (dreamhost)
    • ping (min/avg/max/med) – 77/171/284/170
    • 15.4% packet loss
    • tracert hops: 21 hops
• A lot of this delay seems to be coming from us. When I ping these sites from a dreamhost server, I get much better numbers. There is no packet loss at all, and the times are better (in the case of mediatemple, they’re phenomenal)
  • tanori.net ping (min/avg/max/med) – 1.8/2.0/2.1/0.09
  • feale.com ping (min/avg/max/med) – 78/78/78/0.078
  • viz-n.com ping (min/avg/max/med) – 87/88/88/0.268
• Struggled with the role code for a while, until I realized that the actionscript object can come across to java with the children Lists being null. All seems to be working.
• Burned a disk of VIS2 and PPM.

7:30 – 3:30

• Deployed new documentation in a test URL for JW to look at
• Walked through the new S14 app with JM. Lots of notes – I called Dong and passed them along.
• Meeting with Anne and a large group from S2A(?). Made the pitch that they pay for the development of a deployable version of VISIBILITY, which they liked
• Need to put in the role editing that I worked out before the move. Done. Need to test

7:00 – 4:30

• Deployed ProjPortfolioMgr. It works! Hosanna!
• Spent 40 min waiting for Jim M to show up
• Meeting with Larry about commercialization. I think we’ll try to package up the charting part of Visibility and use it as the wedge for services. Also, Ed(?) is looking at using Media Temple, so we might be able to piggy back on that effort
• Bike seminar
• And it took 2 hours to get back here…

7:30 – 5:30

• Deployed the new Scripting, which pointed out that I was trying to update the wrong table. Once fixed, the scripts worked fine, so I put them on a schedule to run every day at 7:00 and 7:05
• Couldn’t connect to the S2F endpoint. Somehow, the url is getting changed from https:// (which it is in the settings.xml file) to http://. I printed out relevant stuff and showed to Dong.
• Talked to Jim M
• Meeting/demo with Anne is now set for Monday at 10:30
• useful!
  • find . -name *.mxml -mtime -15 -type f -exec wc -l {} ; | awk ‘{total += $1} END{print total}’
  • This is “find all the mxml files under the current directory that are less than 15 days old. Run a line count on the files and sum them.
• We seem to have fixed the problems with ProjPortfolioMgr. Burning a disk

7:30 – 4:30

• Meeting with Jim M. Came up with a more realistic plan for hitting their goals
• Showed Anne how to ingest data
• Deployed new Vis2 and Scripting
• Tried my new insert. It didn’t work. The reason was that the column name was wrong. Fixed the logging so that the error shows
• Got ProjPortfolioMgr to deploy on S2f. We’ll also make that the first attempt at an installer

9:30 – 4:00 5:00 – 6:00

• Dentist this morning
• Back to Facade insert – done and working!
• Dong added backticking to Ingest Manager
• Built some new sensor rods (paddles?) for Tom

8:00 – 5:00

• Worked with Dong a bit on getting the DB configuration app
• Putting together a precompiled query interface – getting hung up with a generic date parser. Maybe this: http://icecube.wisc.edu/~dglo/software/calparse/index.html
• Dentist tomorrow. I’ll be in a bit late.

7:30 – 4:30

• “Deployed” new details XML for standard and extended employees.
• Need to be able to do a precompiled query through facades
• Unpacked the Feldman Project
• Tom’s building a new set of sensors

• Freeglut source: http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/index.php#download
• Got OpenGL working nicely
• Can talk to the motors. Going to fix control next

7:30 – 4:30

• Fixed the category problem in employees_std. Talked to Mike C about developing an automated way to do this. Will start doing a daily manual set of the details xml. Later, I’ll do this in a script
• Adding user management to the scripting server – done and checked in.
• Asked Dong to use javaUtils rather than recreate log4j and properties classes

7:30 – 3:30

• Helped John Williams out a bit with generating some unusual tables
• Changed the employees_standard table to reflect the new organization of the data. Had a talk with Mike C. about automatically generating details xml files
• After plugging in my computer, found it running *really* slowly. Deleting my trash (25,025 items) to see if that speeds things up.
• Need to talk to Dong about backticking Ingest Manager – done
• Apparently, I left of 11 employee classification types. Need to fix that tomorrow.
• Adding user management to scripting
