7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• I turn on the computer this morning and Adobe tells me that they want to update Air and FB 4.5. Download estimated time : 20 minutes.
  • And now I have 4.5.
• Seems to be the day to update things. Linux and Vista and 7 oh my!
• This looks like fun:

    • Using Flash Builder 4.5 to package applications for Apple iOS devices
• Back to VNC. I seem to be unable to connect to the desktop unless it is already running on the server. Looking into that
  • Whoops – wrong ip address. Let’s start over….
  • Yeah – the server is already running, but you have to be logged into it to enable a connection. Going to try to set up the pure server configuration.

7:30 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Working on getting VNC or something similar runing on my Linux box
• Installed VNC server according to the directions here: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-VNC.html
• Have the vnc server and client running, but can’t control the desktop. Could be because I’m logged into the server. Going to install updates, restart, and try without being logged in.
• Got VNC running without a click of ‘OK’ on the server, but I still have to be logged in.
• Brian has to fill out a (SPF?) form to get Jeff’s server onto both networks. Looks like we need some additional approval, too.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• FB 4.5 appears to be happy and integrated. Back to the cloud IDE
• looking at the jEdit plug-in architecture, which has a nice example (http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/plugin-implement.html).
  • Oh, drat. jEdit can’t work with Web Start: http://www.jedit.org/FAQ/installation.html#id446561. This is due to the plugin architecture (i.e dynamic loading).
  • Eclipse appears to work with Web Start. On the other hand, downloading the Eclipse environment and using remote file access could be a lot less effort, and download time. My concern is that eclipse comes with java compilers, which take up room and slow the download.
  • According to this FAQ (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/TM_and_RSE_FAQ), the best option is to install Eclipse on the server and remote desktop in with a VNC such as NX Server.
  • Set up an Ubuntu box in my office to play with.
• Nothing going on with our probnlem server, except that more people are noticing that they can’t get their VMs set up either… Bill. D. did give us a nice shout out though 🙂

• Forgot to bring the cat in off the deck.
  • Back now. Cat was happily sleeping in a patch of sun, with his chin on a paving stone. He was not all that interested in coming in.
• Can build FGMUtils45 with maven, but not with FlexBuilder. Trying Mike’s test of rebooting. Nope. It looks like flexmojos is screwing up again. I’m going to try putting the flexMojosStandin() method back in, probably with a checkbox to enable, since this seems to pop up a lot.
• Phone screen with Tim Lotz.
• Indoc at 1:30.
• Added a checkbox to Maven assist that allows you to bypass flexbuilder:flexmojos and use the internal .actionscriptproperties code. We’ll see if that helps with the current problem.

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• 1:30 kickoff(?) meeting tomorrow.
• Installing Flashbuilder 4.5
  • Installed, but when I tried to point my FB4 Eclipse to the new SDK, I got compile errors that Eclipse couldn’t find the player.
  • Looked around for help on installing FB4.5 as a plugin, and found this: (http://joeygutierrez.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/flash-builder-4-5-plugin/). It turns out that in the installation folder, under ‘utilities’, is the ‘Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Plug-in Utility.exe’
  • Tried running the plug in utility, but it choked on my 64-bit version of eclipse, which amusingly enough FB4 had no problem with. Going to go download the latest Eclipse 32-bit version now…
  • Well, that appeared to work. Now we just have to put all the plugins together again.
• FGMUtils chokes on DataGridColumn, trying out FGMFlexUtils45.
  • Which doesn’t have a pom file. WTF? Waiting for Mike.
• Deployed Visibility3, Visibility Scripting on Jeff’s server
• Added the accounts Brian asked for

9:00 – 2:00 VISIBILITY

• Went over Trish’s changes with Dong
• Meeting with Christine
• Proxy stuff for Jeff’s server

8:00 – 6:30 VISIBILITY

• I-95 was a mess today. Took back roads in.
• Cleaning up and documenting SqlInfoObject – done
• Cleaning up and documenting QueryResponseObject – done
• Cleaning up and documenting QueryObject – done
• Cleaning up and documenting InsertObject – done
• Cleaning up and documenting CreateTableObject – done
• Meeting with Trish to go over the new PPM at 2:00
  • Role Management
    • The actions need some more description
    • Didn’t see the “can only see data I’m connected to ” option
  • Funding Request
    • Change OISR-PMO and OISR-TF to ISR-PMO and ISR-TF
    • Don’t need the “Location” column under contracts, but the Performance Location needs to be editable
  • Funding Status Data
    • The FY XX budget value isn’t calculating correctly – it should be the same as the FY XX value from the Project Editor
    • Each value in the “Amount” column comes from a single funding request. The “Remaining To Distribute” subtracts that particular amount from the total FY XX budget for that project. The Direct Cites and Reimbursables are on lines that have no Amount. In other words, there is an amount, then up to a few lines for that particular funding request, then another amount, and so on.
  • I have screenshots of all the above.
