8:00 – 4:00 SR

• Lost my accounts on all the servers. Asked Ronda to look into it.
• And since I can’t get on the server, asked Ronda to fix the setupModel.xml files to fix login issues.
• Sent Dong a note to see what’s going on. He’ll take a look this weekend.
• Some of my demos that use the WebGl3dCharts module were broken. The reason is that I was looking for items in the optional data objects and throwing a null. Two lessons:
  • FF console does not log this error
  • Just because you have static type checking in TypeScript doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use hasOwnProperty() to check if an item is present. Here’s the fix:

    var forceVisible:boolean = false;
    if(itemData.hasOwnProperty('data') && itemData.data.hasOwnProperty('type')) {
        forceVisible = this.getForceVisible(itemData.data.type);
    }

    So now it’s much more robust.

  • Adding ability to modify text. Done. Changing the title also ripples through the display. I also don’t (re)calculate page rank if the weight hasn’t changed.  Also added

    findModelFromDataObject()

    for WebGlCanvas.

• Found these guys (http://www.intensityanalytics.com/), who do keyboard biometrics. Trying to contact them.
