9:00 – 6:00VISIBILITY

• Had a talk with John W last Friday about the increase in hours charged 4 hrs/week to 10 hrs week for catwalk. Told him that I basically couldn’t do the level of support that I had been doing for 45min/day and that I wouldn’t be coming by unless he tells me that there is a problem.
• Going to try to talk to R through Java today.
• Found a cool audio synthsizer library for the next hand – https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/
• So that I can find this the next time: Webstart, Servlet, IDE, findme!
• Interviews!
• Got RServe installed. Going to take a look at interfacing that way.

7:30 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Meeting with Trish Christie and Leia(?).
  • add “… for the monthly status report deliverable which is due (month) 10th”  to the generated email.
  • Add the ability to sort and filter”Create New Request” panel and “Saved Requests” (project, status, personnel roles. etc)
  • Time that a project should be included in a report request is from the first budget year to the last budget year plus the appropriation period
  • For creating (or adding to?) a request, it may be necessary to look at projects that will become active up to some period in the future, so that as projects become active, they will be included in requests
• Went over meeting action items with Dong.
• Based on a conversation with April, I’m looking at developing a Flex GUI interface to R, running on the server and accessed through rJava.
• Talked to Brian about moving my client schedule from morning to afternoon

7:30 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

• Working on setting up a meeting with Christie and Trish to go over Dong’s proposal
• Showed Dong how to set up the Web Application with server in Eclipse. He thinks that he might be able to make it work with Maven
• Endless ANOVA
• Worked a bit on the hand with Tom. Everything seems to be working. Yipee!

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Deployed Dong’s code. All works well, and we *can* save out excel from Flex!
• Filed out as much as I could of Brian’s SSP
• Downloaded the Apache Commons Math library source for conversion to Actionscript
• Tried the easy way and found a Java to Actionscript converter (J2AS3). It needs some wotk for handling the FastMath class. Before I go in and change it by hand, I may try to improve the parser.
• More ANOVA

7:30 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

• Found a problem with Flash Player dealing with debug statements. It’s covered here, but the gist of it is that the non-debug version of Flash Player seems to choke on debug statements – at least Error.getStackTrace() (not sure about trace().
• Adding Randomized ANOVA to stats package. It turns out that CMM is trying to have a measure of confidence in their presentation of data but they don’t have a good statistical basis for making the call. How convenient 🙂
• Testing Dong’s new PPM and hopefully burning a disk.
• Had a grand time figuring out what’s up with flash debuggering.
• Added the following to the FGMUtils pom file to get our compiler flags in. It looks like this:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.sonatype.flexmojos</groupId>
<artifactId>flexmojos-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<dependencies>

</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>

<!–  this is the command line: define=CONFIG::debugging,true -define=CONFIG::release,false –>
<property>

<value>true</value>

7:30 – 3:00 VISIBILITY

• It looks like the customer uses Flash 10. Not sure about the exact version.
• Interview with Phillip Tomlin.
• Sank into a Friday stupor and was unable to get anything substantial working.
