Phil 7.24.15

8:00 – 4:30 SR

  • Trying to get charts to work
  • Need to run Create Scratch Financial Data first
  • I think 2014 OM ACC is functioning correctly, but probably pointing at the wrong data. The chart is drawing, just need to figure out how to align the months.
  • Working on setting up the database for links as per the main goal. Think I’ve gotten a first pass on the tables. Need to remember how to use joins now. This helped a lot: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3709560/mysql-join-three-tables

Phil 7.22.25

8:00 – 5:00 SR

  • Filled out contact info for Steve
  • The stricter trust chain did not work. I had Ronda go back to the looser one.
  • Fixed attraction/repulsion/linkScalar it’s 1.0, 10.0, 10.0 for defaults
  • Ran into a weirdness with <input type=”range> and browsers. Chrome is fine. FF and Chrome have differing default widths and margin/padding. Had to add the following to get all ranges to work similarly:
    .forceRange{
        position: absolute;
        width: 120px;
        right: 10px;
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 5px;
        z-index: 2;
    }
  • Back to figuring out the AlchemyNews API. Blew up the limit again, being careful. I think that the news API, aside from behaving poorly (things like ‘&q.enriched.url.concepts.concept.relevance=0.9’ don’t work). Think I’m going to add more user interaction and less machine learning. Store it all for later page ranking?

  • Server is behaving with the stricter trustchain.
  • This is the AlchemyNews REST API Documentation, and the list of fields that can be returned. And Twitter access, BTW.
  • Blew through my limits for the day trying to figure out keywords. Asking for academic license.
  • A good example of how to group query elements: http://alchemyapi.readme.io/docs/sentiment-analysis
  • Need to add sliders for attraction and repulsion (network scalars?). Implemented. Now I need to figure out some good values. I think that we might just have to scale attraction for linked items. It should clean things up and cut down the math a bit.

Phil 7.17.15

8:00 – 2:00 SR

  • The production server is behaving again!
  • Wrote up some thoughts on TypeScript interfaces and fat arrow notation.
  • Working out more subtle network linkages. An item is current (selected?) has potentially several other items that will connect to it. Selecting should also bring up the search results associated with that item (create an itemlist of nearest neighbors). Maybe the item should be created before the results of the query come back. That might make things more modal.

  • The production server isn’t visible through the browser, though the test server is. It first I thought it was pre-populated keychains, but when the servers are set up identically, the production server still doesn’t cooperate. Ronda’s putting in a ticket.
  • Helped Ronda generate a PKI request for the new dev server, she’s going to try to make it work on the other two.
  • Looking at Dong’s code, I cannot figure out why he needs fat arrow. His:
    public promiseCaller():void{
       this.promise = this.service.getQueries();
       this.promise.then(this.processData, this.errorData);
    }
    
    public processData = (data:any):void => {
       console.log("got data");
    };
    
    public errorData = (data:any):void => {
       alert("error getting data");
    };
  • And mine
    private goodUserQuery (response:any) {console.log("got data");}
    private goodUserQuery (response:any) {alert("error getting data");}
    public promiseCaller():void{
        this.queryService.submit(qstr, this.goodUserQuery, this.errorResponse);
    }
  • Which calls (in the service):
    public submit(query:string, goodResponse:any, errorResponse:any):any {
       return this.httpService(query).then(goodResponse, errorResponse);
    }
  • And it looks like Google won’t let me use their images as textures. Working at downloading on the server side and storing in a local directory, using PHP. That works just fine! And to keep from downloading the same pix all the time, added a check as well. PHP has pretty much everything you’d ever want to do stuff on the web. But no typing. Must check out Hack one of these days.
  • Adding connections. Finally! Simple conditions are working and up.

8:00 – 4:00SR

  • Prime day. May poke at that a bit. Disappointing.
  • Call Porsche for oil change and chin cover repair – nope. Tomorrow?
  • Get network connections working – Almost!
  • Add news API integration – nope

Dong Shin 07.15.2015

  • continue from yesterday’s setting up Phil’s laptop for build – done!
    • checked out all client codes
      • Financial Assistant Apps
        •  SVN location: trunk/Sandbox_folders/DONG_SANDBOX/JavaScript/FinancialAssistant
      • Charting App
        • SVN location: trunk/Sandbox_folders/DONG_SANDBOX/webstorm/charts
      • Query Builder App

      • Reqonciler App

    • Configure Deployment Server for the projects

    • changed link to FinancialAssistant in FinancialAssistantService(Java) in WebContent folder to point to valid directory
    • create logging database and use logging.sql to initialize
    • create visibility_scripting database and use visibility_scripting.zip to initialize

7:30 – 5:00

  • Write up a description of Dong’s skillset.
  • Call Arhouse.
  • Continue on ComponentNetwork
    • Chain -> History
    • ‘Relevance to Search’ dialog for keywords, etc.
    • Accumulate search terms in some way. Possibly weight them?
    • Rebuilding the network construction so that it’s handled by its own class. The basics are working, need to add connections based on pending requests next. Overall it’s better than using addEnvironment, which really wasn’t all that appropriate. It should be easy to add in textures too. Fingers crossed.
  • Looks like my workstation should be in next week
  • Pluto flyby!

Phil 7.13.15

8:00 – 2:30 SR

  • Everything is running smoothly on the production machine. Clearly a disaster of epic proportions is looming.
  • Setting up a VizTool account on the laptop so that Dong can set up and verify his code base.
  • Either work on attaching the database or building the recursive chain class. Leaning towards the class.
    • One root at a time? Yes, but allow the root to be reset to any point in the network.

Phil 7.10.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  1. Sent Steve F. some background on Visibility and equipment requests
  2. Continue working on integrating dynamic data provider into charts. First pass is done, but kind of crappy. I think there needs to be a recursive way of adding the data. Something like an tree object that recurses through itself to create the data provider which is then rendered. Ponder it over the weekend.
  3. Need to make a self-contained example of the flexbox/ng-repeat interaction.
  4. Redid my tuition reimbursement because Novetta changed it after I submitted it before.
  5. Uploaded the current app and it still works!

Phil 7.9.15

8:00 – 5:00 SR

  • Asked Dong to make sure that all projects were standalone, and didn”t depend on Maven, etc. that was outside the repository.
  • Fixed one of the names in the PM database list
  • Trustworthiness –
    • Need to change the queries around so that the kind of data is listed (Url:, Keyword:, etc. This can be parsed as needed by the submitting methods – done
    • Get the initial interactions beween the webGL and the search. Set up the dataFormat to handle the types.
      • Working on the resetDataProvider and resetDataFormat.
    • Add new search buttons (Google News, Fact Checked, Alchemy News, etc) – done
    • Start adding in the DB
      • In the link table, types can be ‘relation’ ‘supports’ ‘disputes’, others(?)
  • Meeting with Brad and Steve
    • Send software and hardware configuration to Steve Filippi (scfilip)
