8:00 – 4:00 SR

• Backups
• Started server certs renewal
• There are still some problems with lost req’s. Got a screenshot that has all the pieces.
• Javascript
  • Find out while null objects are being returned in events. It turns out that the “id” tag cannot have any special characters in it, or Y.one()/Y.all() will fail. Added a “safeIdString” variable to the PhysicsShape class that runs a regex [^0-9-a-Z] on all names and copies the result to the variable. This still means that the id tag for paragraphs, etc needs to be safe, but it also allows the shapes to show the full name.
  • Discovered that my Chrome browser on my dev machine is broken. Tooltip formatting is wrong and hover does not work at all. Need to reinstall. And I.E. is still slooooooow with all this

8:00 – xxx SR

• Backups
• Deployed sql fix for update obligations_outlays to 100%
• budget_center_id is being set to zero????
• Cleaned up budget center names

8:00 – 4:00 SR

• Backups
• Renewed the viztool urn and deleted visibility. Well, tried, anyway.
• JavaScript
  • Add scrollto text based on item clicked event – Done, but now the scrolling function seems kinda messed up. The scroller wants to bounce back to some point that seems to be related to long contact drag times. Short flicks work?
  • See if scrolling can fire an event that can be used to get the current visible text (id? label?) that can be used to determine what to show in the network chart. Alternatively, listen to click events from the wrapping node or potentially the <p> items. Done!
  • Break slideshow into sections that are relevant to the clicked items.

8:00 – 4:00 SR

• Backups
• Resubmitted more paperwork for to keep my server access
• Fixed some queries with Dong. Did you know that in SQL 10+0 != 10+NULL?
• JavaScript
  • Finally fixed the ‘max pixels’ bug in the PhysicsShape. Vectors were being calculated for anchor objects, when they should have been zero.
  • Boo. You can’t animate colors on a shape.

8:00 – 4:00 SR

• Heading in to work on the servers at 2:00, due to the snow. Javascript this morning.
• Adding scrolling – done! Very nice. You can tell the scroller to go to a particular section. You can even name the section.
• Turning slideshow into a module so that it can be faded up and down as a whole, and that I can put the Ken Burns effect in.
• Reqonciler ignore selection doesn’t work – data grid problem?
• Bring in second year updates query.

8:00 – 4:00 SR

• And, with a temp of 14 degrees, we say goodbye to February. Good riddance, I say.
• Backups
• Deploying new FA and DB fix. Success!
• Meeting with Chris, Lenny and Dong
• Wrote status report for Tangie.
• JavaScript
  • Poked around with the slide show API and nver got it to work. After looking at how it’s handled in CSS, I realized that there just wasn’t that much code needed – just a timer and a way to fade in/out nodes in a list. YUI has that quite nicely and it only wound up being about 30 lines of code. It makes me want to do a Ken Burns effect slide show using the transition library, but that can wait until I get the basics up and running. Next scrolling text. I think this might be fun to use: http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/scrollview/scrollview-scroll.html. It’s also touch compatible, which is nice.

8:30 – 4:30 SR

• Lovely traffic today. Took twice as long to get to work. I think I averaged a hair over 20 mph.
• Backups
• Looks like I missed registering a site. Fixed.
• FF 21 and IE 8 are displaying the JavaScript test improperly. Pretty sure I tested this last night on my home machines and all was OK. Yep, just checked on IF, FF, and Chrome at work and they all behave.
• It’s possible that this is a result of the stylesheet not working correctly. The buttons don’t look right.
• And it’s ridiculously slow in IE.  looking for some drawing/animation libraries. These all work in IE 8 with reasonable performance
  • http://raphaeljs.com/
  • http://scripty2.com/
  • http://jsanim.com/
  • http://www.sencha.com/

• So the question is, can this be fixed? I’m going to try to bring up a new instance of YUI3 and point at it explicitly. Regardless, let’s see if I can get the rest of all these pieces working together.
• Working on improving performance. Got the Math.sqrt out of all the force calculations. Now I need to see if that helped. I fear that mostly it’s drawing speed.
• Something to test

8:00 – 4:00 SR

• Backups
• Copied all the webapps and data from the production machine to the test machine.
• More server paperwork.
• Javascript
  • Make the controls a pop-up panel. Got stuck on getting a button to work in the graphics container. It looks like all mouse events are being trapped. Was able to add the button to a new wrapper around the control container. Using that I’m able to fade the controls in and out.
  • Build a multi-part network for more testing will all connections.
  • Progress for today

8:00 – 4:00 SR

• Backups
• Updated budget center cognos data queries. Still need to add an “order by `order`” in the reqonciler post-processing query.  Actually, all queries.
• Remove committed amounts and dates from query builder, calculate from new req data.
• Mousemove not working in IE8. Possibly need to add the explicit div name (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6922672/yui3-events-not-working-in-firefox-or-opera-works-fine-in-chrome-though). That fix is in. Need to test.
• Spent the rest of the day working out the physics for the shapes. Mostly done and ready to start testing?
