7:30 – 3:30

• More financial disclosure
• Teleconference with Juan Lopez – 937-255-6565 ext. 4637  at 10:45
• Getting close with Maven – It looks like we have a RAM problem. We need 64 and we have 32. Dong is asking for more

7:30 – 4:00

• Worked on Financial Disclosure
• Organized clutter in VISIBILITY tables
• Waiting for Dong to get the maven repo set up. Without that, we can’t compile, because our jars and swcs come from the repo.
• Meeting at the fort for lunch
• Got the algorithm for role tree updating working. Once maven and subversion are all working, I’ll roll it in and test.

7:30 -3:30

• Tried to move example tables to example_xxx and demo tables to demo_xxx. It looks like I need to some other table manipulation other than just changing their names
• Long meeting with Michelle Griffith of LDAT. Some good progress. She’ll be coming out sometime next week.
• Still moving in and setting up
• Sent Tom some example files so he can get started on the new documentation effort

7:30 -4:00

• Set up some new LDAT accounts
• Got Brian’s data
• Move! – Done, although setting back up has not included the lab
• Starting on RoleTreeUpdate.

7:30 – 3:30

• Set up some new accounts and read in some data. The LDAT folks seem to be liking what we can do.
• Got an idea about adding roles. When a role tree is updated (setRoleTreeRoot), it resets all user roles because we don’t know what the ids are going to be. Instead, make it so that the new role tree is compered against the stored role tree (getRoleRoot) and only changes are added.
• Demo of VISIBILITY with Anne.

7:30 – 3:30

• Made screenshots for Brian
• Got python code to add a column to a table. Pretty easy, actually
• Worked with Dong to debug
• Started to set up viz-n.com

7:30 – 3:30

• Put links for all the outputs into VisibilityScriptingServer/index.html
• Working on my SOLR generator. Works! Need to add some capability to DbTable. Nope. Instead put the capability in the python code. split functions are quite nice…

• Fixed the sensor stick using epoxy to seal it instead of the silicone.  This seems to have fixed the rust like discoloring.  The rust may have been the reason for the strain gauges touching the metal of the stick.
• Got the square in my Glut simulation to move when pressure is applied to the sensor stick.
• Tried to get the motor to move on simulated “collision” but the approach was a bit messy and hard to debug.  Working on a dictionary class to get all the variables that need to be passed between classes together.

8:00 – 4:30

• Sent out an announcement on new VISIBILITY capabilities
• Found some bugs in scripting. Fixed
• Loading scripting onto Laureldemo for integration with Dong’s code – done. Updated Data Navigator too. Need to have Tom put up the documentation
• Need to write a SOLR generator to show bridging capability to VISIBILITY
• Need to handle JVM error for things like infinite loops. Not sure how to handle that yet
• Autoindent is still buggy – fixed

8:00 – 4:00

• Still need to allow alert creation and deletion on the AlertServlet.
• Delete in
• Add in – had to make it more restrictive about accepting uids
• List in
• Show single alert in

7:30 – 4:00

• Rolled in Mikes changes – everything seems to be working fine – until we have a user touch things, of course.
• Worked on the properties a bit for scripting – databases are now actually listed in the properties files. It’s good enough to bring in at this point to see how it behaves running on onsite servers.
• Need to write up “This visibility Story” – done
• Still need to allow alert creation and deletion on the AlertServlet.

• Was able to get Glut running by making it the main executive
• Transposed whetstone bridges to a circuit board.  Had to start over cause the soldering was too messy on first attempt.  Glad I waited for Phil to bring in the other solder because it actually melts at the right temperature.
• Set up everything to attach to the new board both bridges work great.
• Somehow the strain gauge is touching the bar again despite many tests to make sure this wasn’t happening before.  Might be do to the rust or whatever the yellow stuff is factor.
• The other stick I made is still testing properly but needs a shim.
• I think I fixed a problem when the input stick was still sending go commands to the other one when it was in a stopped state due to a collision.  Can’t know for sure with only one stick though.

7:30 – 2:30

• Clean up and test alert adding in jython – done
• Start on the AlertServlet – particularly how to add, clear, and delete(?) an alert RESTfully. Started. Servlet runs and posts the alert list xml, but doesn’t perform any operations
• 1:00 meeting at Anne’s – nope, postponed

Tuesday:

• Shortened signal wires to strain gauges so more of the wire is shielded
• Strain Gauge came loose on second sensor stick had to redo it.  Did not use enough silicone to hold the connections in place
• Found out glut is event based.  Need to either use standard GL libraries or freeglut.

Wednesday:

• Finished repairing second sensor stick
• Started putting the whetstone bridges on a board so I wouldn’t have to worry about the wires coming loose all the time
• Had trouble finding GL Headers and libraries.  Found out that they are in the Windows SDK.
• Cold solder doesn’t conduct well.  Connections need to be well seated on the board.
• Saw that freeglut is still supported and was updated as of November 2009.  Going to give it a try since I am having trouble with the standard GL libraries and from the description freeglut is designed to replace glut because glut is no longer supported and outdated.  Freeglut supposedly can be used in a non event based way.

7:30 – 3:30

• Logged into LDAT(2) successfully. Asked for a tutorial/walkthough, and who to talk to for direct JDBC access. I may use the scripting service to publish that data
• More alerting. Need to do the following
• Add an alert in the Alert Manager
• Clean up and test alert adding in jython
• Start on the AlertServlet – particularly how to add, clear, and delete(?) an alert RESTfully
