  • Added special cases to the python autocomplete so it includes the methods listed in the drop-down
    • declaring any variable as “mySF = ScriptFascades()” will successfully bring up auto complete options for mySF later in the script
    • same deal for “myTable = mySF.dbQuery(…”, myTable will be recognized as a dbTable object
  • Left the dropDown in the GUI because there’s a few options I can’t reproduce like identifying an alertInfoObject and constructors

    • added debug flag in PPM
    • created debug.png image to show on the debug version

Phil 9.13.2010

8:00 – 10:00 VISIBILITY

  • Slow on site. Talked to John Williams. He likes the idea that we’re getting a cloud based Sharepoint Server. Also, the whole SiteWorks deal is that if there is a web developer component to a team, then SiteWorks can’t take any work away from that developer.

10:00 – 11:30

  • Ran cables top hard-wire our computers in because the wifi was too awful to use.

11:30 – 2:00 VISIBILITY

  • Flex in a week
  • Walked through project setup for PPM going forward with Dong
    • The release version only has pgfeldm as a user (Admin privileges). Database is clean except for budget info (FY10 O&M, procurement, etc)
    • Default build is ProjportfolioMgrBeta.swf
    • Background image says “BETA”
    • Manual copy of the swf to ProjPortfolioMgr.swf when all tests are passed
    • There is a separate build for anything that changes the database. SWC has a background of “ALPHA”, and the java talks to a different database (project_portfolio_dev). This gets built and deployed to a different war file than the current release version so that testing can occur without harming the release version

2:00 – 5:00

  • Approved changes on provisional patent
  • Started on SIGCHI 2011 paper.

  • Sharepoint hosting? (http://myhosting.com/business-vps/sharepoint-services.aspx)

  • Talked to Anne about moving SLA forward.
    • Wants a meeting with Brian, Anne, and I about setting up a SOW framework.
