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://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
