    8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

    • Spent some time with Brian on site this morning working out the details of what our server needs
    • Looking at ways to deal with interacting with the shell as a way of dealing with the server. Developers write code as text files that are compiled using whatever tools we integrate. Files are saved as files with some kind of namespacing. The key to all this is to have some kind of workable interface to the OS that is essentially a terminal window. From there we load commands, parse results, use command-line debuggers, etc.
    • Found a java telnet server that handles all the issues of sending commands to the OS and getting responses (and errors) back. It’s built around the same Runtime.getRuntime.exec() command that we are using in MavenAssist, just a lot more complete. It’s here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pwts/. In addition to building a remote object around it, we should refit the version in MavinAssist.
    • Talked to Anne about Masha’s data woes. Promised to take a look at it tomorrow

    • PPM Changes
      • Added Save/Don’t Save/Cancel Confirmations to Appropriations Mgmt and User Mgmt
      • Contract Management is self managed, no need for the confirmation
      • Resized Appropriations DG, added tooltips
    • using Maven to generate a project that can deploy a whole app at once
      • parent/child pom
      • cannot get the html wrapper mojo to work in war packaging
        • wrapperArtifact tag to be used, but sonatype documentations, ugh!
      • use maven-war-plugin to copy html over to war
      • build order is really important!
      • resetting project pom files

    7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

    • Deployed Dong’s latest version. It still needs the following:
      • Appropriations Editor:
        • Needs Save/Don’t Save/Cancel for panel and appropriations closing
        • Columns should be wider. We have the room, and some of the text is falling off the edge. Also, add tooltips for cases wherethe text is too wide
      • User Management and Creation
        • Save/Don’tS ave/Cancel when panel is closed
      • Contract Management
        • Save/Don’t Save/Cancel when panel is closed
    • Backed up PPM
    • Talked to Mike about handling tooltips
    • Talked to Dong about the web-based IDE. He decided that he’d rather do the DataManager, so I’m writing up the IDE concept.

    Dong Shin 12.09.2010

    • PPM changes
      • Looked for browser height/width information. no native support. requires ExternalInterface between JavaScript and Flash
      • set the screen resolution to monitor resolution using systemManager.stage, refreshes on Show event
      • added Save, Don’t Save, Cancel to Alerts Create Project Panel and Funding Request Panel
      • clean up BudgetCenters buttons in BudgetCenterMgmtWindow
    • Smart Editor
      • created AutoCompleteList component
      • created AutoCompleteListItemRenderer, works different from mx itemRenderers!!!
      • AutoComplete pop up highlights and filters dynamically
      • still trying to figure out the position of the popup
      • got Y from GeometryUtil, X doesn’t look right, though.

    7:30 – 11:30 VISIBILITY

    • Deployed the new PPM. Found a couple of bugs
      • The “screen resolution” value is not showing the browser window size, it’s locked on the (fixed) application size. If we can’t figure out how to calculate browser size, we should probably delete this
      • The “Save? Dialog” that gets launched needs to match the new “Save/Don’t Save/Cancel” dialog. This should be the same for every save dialog in the application.
    • Backed up everything – another 1k of data
    • Starting the DataManager class

    11:30 – 3:30 FP

    • Finished transitioning the code from prototype 2 to prototype 3.
    • Put the fingers back on an worked with Tom on getting everything wired up and running. In the process, we probably killed the thumb and ring finger. At this point, the interface has the pinky and L/R palm control working – much fixing to do
    • Demo’d for class, which went well.

    • PPM db continues to grow. Forgot to bring in the new version today though.
    • Talked to John W. about hosting PPM on his servers. He had some (potentially show-stopping) issues that we’ll need to work through
    • Gave Christine some guidance on Mavenizing AirFileImageApp.
    • Got the DataClass2 working. looks like having a dynamic class gives pretty much everything that we need. There will be a public method to get type information for table construction

    1:30 – 5:30 FP

    • Pulled apart the old control code and set it up to work with the new setup

    Dong Shin 12.07.2010

    • An infamous day
    • More than 2k of data added to PPM yesterday. They are a busy bunch. No complaints, either.
    • Working on the DataObject class. After beating on Proxy, realized that I might be able to do everything I want with a dynamic object. Trying that now
    • Spent some time doing QC on PPM with dong. There is a new version for me to bring in.

    Dong Shin 12.06.2010

    • PPM Changes
      • poking through Layout Manager and Dynamic Panel to set the height of the Create Project Panel properly
      • made some changes to Edge Utils to allow explicit height set
      • Vertical Layout animations go too fast, some get cancelled on timing conflict?
      • more resize components….
      • Windows and Mac Firefox show some discrepancy on panel sizing….
