  • Got word back from Christie. She is eagerly awaiting the new version Monday or Tuesday.
  • Working on my Air pure Flex4 app.
    • itemCreationPolicy is now set for the particular component you want to make active or not instead of the parent container. The modes are immediate and differed. THis is *not* in the documentation. In fact, itemCreationPolicy isn’t even mentioned in the online docs. Sheesh.
    • Turns out the reason my ChangeWatcher wasn’t working was that the data that it was watching for a change had already been set. Rewrote things a bit to take that into account.
    • After some flailing, the obvious answer works for when an image finishes loading with the autoload option set to true: image.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoadedHandler);

  • added project_comments table with DELETE constraints
  • converted all contacts tables to innoDB
    • got #1071 – Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes because login field is too large?
    • reduce PRIMARY KEY size to 100
    • automatically deletes contracts relational data on project delete
    • ALTER TABLE `_projects_portfolio_admins` ADD CONSTRAINT FK_projects_portfolio_admins_project_id FOREIGN    KEY (project_id) REFERENCES projects(uid) on DELETE CASCADE

  • Nothing new with the customer. VISIBILITY is running well and getting used quite a bit. Left Christie a note saying that we’d be rolling out the new version of PPM early next week.

9:00 – 6:30 FP

  • Building fingers. You can reach me on my cell at 410.300.7293

  • Hand with actuators

8:00 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

  • Working with getting XML to produce an ImageScreen. Getting images now, need to work with organizing next.
  • It turns out that the Math.Random() method is not seedable. Had to write a new random class that uses the BitmapData.noise() method, which you *can* seed. The class creates a bitmap and then reads the pixel values as the random numbers. It returns a uint, int, or Number. Put it up on fgmdev.com

10:00 – 12:00 Physical.

Dong Shin 11.02.2010

  • PPM enahancements
    • Create/Modify/Edit project now has multiple contact entries using ComboBox
      • saves single entry into projects table, more than 1 goes into separate relational tables – this is done to preserve the existing data
    • Project Management uses ComboBox ItemRenderers for the multiple contacts, single contact shows up as a label
    • added ItemRenderer for Total Budget
    • working on Project Mgmt event handling (Create, Edit, Copy, Delete, Refresh)
    • Added TabNavigator for Search and Filter

Phil 11.2.2010

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • Talked to Dong storing retrieving multiple users and meshing with the current DB.
  • Weather sealed the giant’ leaky windows
  • Working on Air app
    • Added static data dictionary for moving data beween components. I just don’t like passing data with events.
    • This doesn’t work. Not sure why: ChangeWatcher.watch(this, “xmlDataProvider”, handleXmlChange);
    • Looping over XML for loading into SequenceScreens

Dong Shin 11.01.2010

  • PPM enhancement
    • search functioning on Project Mgmt Panel

7:30 – 9:30 VISIBILITY

  • Meeting with Christie R.
    • There is some problem with the budget summing rollup in the project summary. I’ve printed screenshots and handed to Dong
    • We should change the panels that are used to select projects to DynamicPanel. Things need to be resizable, and we should add the search.
    • Search fields
      • Project ID
      • Project Name
      • People
      • Service

9:30 – 3:30 FP

  • Building more fingers
  • Actually, one of these fingers is a bit skewed. I think I need to face the posts.

Phil 10.27.2010

7:30 – 2:00 VISIBILITY

  • Fixed the table that was misbehaving for Anne. It turns out that you can’t have a ‘/’ in a column header and still expect Google SQL to handle it. Need to add that to the substitutions in the ingestors
  • Working out a fancier password system. Done. To test, I’ve put Tom’s Dong’s and my accounts into the system. If it’s working tomorrow, we’ll transfer more of the accounts over

2:00 – 3:00 FP

  • Demo for Mike F. and Scott G.
