7:30 – 5:00 VISIBILITY

• Upgraded servers to Java 1.7
• Deployed Dong’s code. It is definitely working better
• Demo’d to Tangie
• Found my bug with Eclipse. The [Event] within the <Metadata></Metadata> tags was killing code complete. This link to stackoverflow was helpful. Ended up posting the bug on Adobe’s Jira, since I couldn’t find it anywhere and it’s easily reproducible.
• Got single search working. Monday we’ll do multiple selection search

8:30 – 3:30 VISIBILITY

• Deployed Dong’s new code
  • Exec Summary is still default
  • Don’t show the “null” in the Budget Center combobox
  • Remove refresh dialog, since query is now fast enough (Yay!)
• Mobile
  • Fix ordering problem – done. Needed to sort the selectedIndicies for some reason.
  • Add search to GenericScroller. Different behaviors depending on status of enableMultipleSelect
  • Make the dataProvider parsing more flexible?
  • My install of VisMobScreens in eclipse broke, no highlighting and messed up completion. Deleted and reloaded. Fine now.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Deployed Dong’s code
  • Change Budget Center to something like “Identifier”, since that doesn’t seem to be a unique identifier. Maybe fine all the items that do change within a column and use them to select which line item to selct? Other common information can be displayed below the comboboxes.
  • The current navigation gets put in a dropdown called “month”
  • The navigation at the bottom should step through the items that need to be filled out for the selected month. There should be an indicator that shows progress through the list (maybe a progress bar and a “2 of 10” label)
  • Selected columns unselect after coming back from a Financial Data Entry dialog
  • When changing a budget center, load times take upwards of two minutes!
  • Should SingletonDataDictionary.getItemData() return a null if data has not been published? Changed this so that it is the case
  • Default columns should not include Exec Summary.
  • “Columns” button should be changed to preferences
  • Status should be the left-most column.
• Mobile App
  • Added Generic Scrollers to the table and column choices. Need to make sure that the ordering from the column list to the way that the columns are rendered is maintained.
  • Changed SingletonDataDictionary.getItemData() so that it returns a null if no item has been set yet. Checked in and deployed.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Deployed Dong’s new code
  • The load takes *way* to long on project status in the Widget.
  • The default login needs to be removed
  • The new fonts appear to mess up the financial update section
  • Had to change the html fore some reason, otherwise I got a blank white page. I was able to put together one that works using the old PPM html.
  • Brought in debug versions of Flashplayer
  • Working on developing a new AppEngine that uses the MySql data store functionality
    • Applied for a datastore account
  • While waiting for this, I was thinking that it might work to import the spreadsheet into the appEngine, use an in-memory DB to do all the actions, and then write out the database as a table again. Looking at JavaDB(Oracle) and HQSLDB. There are some issues with this approach – big tables/spreadsheets would be bad. There is the mapping between column id and column headers that needs to be worked out. Also, I’m not sure if the 3rd-party jar file issue that Mike warned me about will be an issue, but this may be a solution to that.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Got admin privs on Mikes machine and gave him Tomcat
• Installed subversion on my box so we can keep synchronized.
• Went over Dong’s progress. He has a new widget and a new PPM burned to disk. We’ll try deploying tomorrow
• Assembled a description of the VISIBILITY suite for Chris Bailey
• Got a little googling done. Mikes making good progress with maps.
  • Drat, the Google Query Language does not support inserts. Looks like a new AppEngine

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Ran into Andrew, which was fun.
• Talked to Denise P, who is going to put me in for SA on our boxes.
• More googling

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Attempted to deploy Dong’s PPM Widget.
  • It launches in IE, but not in Firefox. Need to bring in debug players
  • There is an endpoint problem. Took screenshots for Dong to peruse
  • Meeting with Tangi
  • Impromptu meeting with Bill
• Renewing my ACM membership
• Submitting reimbursement for patent application fees
• More work with Mike’s Google interface.

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Spent the morning working with Mike to try to get the Tomcat filter to connect to the PKI server. For some reason the certs are coming back as null. More poking is required.
• Sent my self-eval to Chas
• Interesting: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2011/10/google-cloud-sql-your-database-in-cloud.html
• Setting up a non-mobile project to use Mike’s Google interface.

8:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Talked to Bill D, mostly about not freaking out Stark.
• Dong met with Tanji. Meetings will be either Monday or Thursday, with donuts. Since Monday is a holiday, first donuts meeting will be Thursday.
• Got admin privileges. Mike thinks he’ll have some code to test tomorrow or so.
• Going through Mike’s code to see how he’s talking to Google.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Spent the morning doing paperwork and helping Mike get permissions to use our servers
• Went over the wizard basics with Dong. He thinks he’ll have something by the end of the week.

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Talked to Bill yesterday, and he wants the desks occupied as much as possible, so I’ll be logging here less.
• Port 443 on the integration box is open! And is visible to both networks!

8:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Well, I’m back. Fin  vacation. pix are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/21701734@N04/sets/72157627607863835/ if you’re interested.
• Went over what Dong has been working on. We’re going to see if his form work can be used as the basis for the Project Manager’s wizard
• Tried loading up Mike’s code, and discovered that there was a POM file, which did could not find the parent POM.  Waiting for M2 to update indices. Works with the command line/mvnAssist
  • Looks like I was pointing at the default m2 settings.xml file. Re-indexing.
  • Working now
• Mike came over to check in the Java side of the code and help me build it. We installed on Google. About to try it on the phone proper.
• Yay! Success!
• Going over to check on our new desks and talk to Bill

7:00 – 12:00 VISIBILITY

• Day before vacation. I wonder if I’ll be able to mow the lawn or if it will rain? Dong rode the motorcycle in, so my guess is that it will be torrential.
• Cleaning up and documenting
• Added exploding pie charts to the mobile app. THere is one problem that if the user selects the chart while the effect is playing, the “explosion” component of the display becomes confused. There needs to be an effect end event that looks to see if things are valid at the end of the animation.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Working on multiple select for the data grid. Need to make sure that if the rows are sorted, the selection is either cleared or re-ordered.
• Make the dataField and valueField bindable and connect to all the chart types. Done
• Add a pie chart label function – done
• Time to comment a bit, since some of this is really not all that intuitive…
• Walked through the VisMobScreens with Mike, who got his middleware working. We also discussed what a data input app could look like. Brian was grumpy and uncooperative in this discussion, so we finished it after he left.

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Finishing up commenting the ScrollingChoosers package, then I’m going to start working on getting drilldown to work in the charting
• Need to add some logic to allow for multiple selections without the control key
  • Done for bar chart, working on the others
  • Pie and Column are done, working on DataGrid
  • DataGrid mostly working.
• Talked to Bill D. He needs Dong’s info. I reminded him that the 4 month timeline assumed one month to get development environments up and running, and three months to write, test and document the new code. In other words, three months to write the code. If getting the desks takes three months, then the effort will be for six. This was surprisingly hard to explain.
