Dong Shin 10.15.2010

  • more MvnAssist
    • fixed dependencies problem – show and add dependencies at top level project.dependencies, not all the dependency tags
    • removed settings.xml under ~/.m2 – conflicts with maven’s settings.xml
    • fixed repo url showing incorrect url

7:30 – 9:30 VISIBILITY

  • Attempted to deploy a new Visibility3, but not all the swfs are there. Need to burn that again.
  • Deployed the new version of Scripting, but I’m not sure that it was actually new, since syntax coloring wasn’t there. Need to check on that too.
  • Email from Matt H. on where he’d like to go with VISIBILITY. All looks good. It would be nice to tie into some more databases. Anne’s right though, we need to talk to CMM.
  • Noticed that Dong was about to write the same DOM navigation code to fix the same <dependencies><dependency> bug that I found in MvnAssist a few weeks ago. Stopped him in time. @Dong – Can you check to see if I checked in a more recent version since you checked yours out?

9:30 – 4:30 FP

  • Got my collection of *tiny* metric screws, so I can finish assembly of the first finger. After that, I’ll see if I can put together a couple more.
  • Need to narrow down the strain channels in the palm – done
  • Finished one finger, drilling and tapping the rails
  • Drilled the matching channels in Delrin as well
  • Progress for today – the finished index finger and the parts for the next four:

Dong Shin 10.14.2010

  • more MvnAssist
    • found that <dependency> gets inserted in the first found <dependencies>, not the top level <dependencies> – waiting on Phil’s fix
    • moved Create Project Tab after User Settings so that archetypeVersion shows correct one from User Settings
    • flexmojos dependency, compiler added with flexVersion from User Settings
    • matching compiler for Flex Framework
    • MvnAssist not catching flexmojos:flexbuilder errors – fixed (added more error checking)
    • Compared files on SVN, have the latest checked out. Phil needs to check in his fix.
    • fixed flexmojos putting incorrect Flex SDK info in .actionScriptProperties – use “Flex 4.0” instead of “Flex 4”

Phil 10.13.2010

8:00 – 3:00VISIBILITY

  • Tried to deploy the new version of PPM, but the properties files (only!) were corrupted. Restored the previous version (which was reloading the war, and updating the swfs – need to take a snapshot before an update from now on). Came back here to discover all the files were fine. So I’ve zipped it up and burned it to disk for take 2.
  • Meeting with Matt H. and Anne G. at 1:00 today.
    • Meeting went well Anne will try to get some data out of one of the databases we’re interested in once she gets her account reactivated. We’ll put together a demo based on that data. Explained the funding issues to Matt, and he’s willing to go to bat for us. The demo will help.
  • Burning new versions of VISIBILITY (Data Vis, Scripting, etc) to bring in, since I’ll be there a while today.
  • Asked Keil to infuse the fgmdev.com index page with awesomeness.
  • Day 3 Episode 1 – installing the project file and my OS just. Gave. Up. Rebooting.

Dong Shin 10.13.2010

  • continue working on MvnAssist
    • commented out Phil’s new code for Flash Builder 4
    • reworked ExecParser’s file handling – get directory name if file is pom.xml
    • /usr/share/maven – mac’s maven directory
    • ‘\’ and ‘/’ conflict in path/filename
    • installed Maven 3.0 (just released! 10/8)
    • could not get FlexMojos 3.7.1 to work with MvnAssist – works fine with 3.8

Dong Shin 10.12.2010

  • went over PPM with Phil
  • changing MvnAssist to work on Mac
    • -d32 flag needed on run configuration
    • check for OS name and change mvnExeFile accordingly
      • mvn or mvn.bat
    • MessageBox crashes on Display.getCurrent().getActiveShell() returning null
      • new Shell (Display.getCurrent()) added when getActiveShell returns null
    • adding dependencies to Flex 4 projects works

Phil 10.12.2010

7:30 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

  • Trying to set up a meeting with Matt and Anne. Maybe Wednesday at 10:30? Check on the way home. Done. Meeting is set up for 1300 today.
  • Looks like Dong has gotten Maven to behave better than I did. Now we need to fix MvnAssist to incorporate and work on the Mac.
  • Flex in a Week
    • Day 2 Episode 11
    • Day 2 Episode 12
    • Day 2 Episode 13
  • Burned the new PPM disk

BTW, Here’s progress from yesterday:

Keil Ruby 10/11/2010

  • Has Flex interfacing with BlazeDS and Java to a MySQL database.  Communications are working properly, but can’t figure out why quotes keep appearing in my output when I use BlazeDS.  The quotes don’t appear under other circumstances.

Dong Shin 10.11.2010

  • packed up PPM for review/deploy
    • chaged the table name to query_logs and created script – create_query_logs.sql
    • uploaded to FGMDEV uploads directory
  • got maven to build Flash Project
    • Flex SDK Version 4.0.0.14159
    • FlexMojos 3.8
    • Flex Compiler must be defined within flexmojos plugin tag
    • flexmojos:flexbuilder generates Flash Builder project files with incorrect version string??? – “Flex 4” instead of “Flex 4.0”

Phil 10.8.2010

7:30 – 11:30 VISIBILITY

  • Had a meeting with LTC Matt H. about VISIBILITY. He really likes it and would like to extend it to include other data sources. I pinged Anne about this and we’ll get together next week to discuss.
  • The “go” designation for VISIBILITY got rejected. I fixed everything that I think that there was to fix and asked for guidance

11:30 – 6:00 FP

  • Drilled holes for all the strain channels.
  • Came to a halt over the finger attachment. The channels overlap too much of the Delrin to let a finger in, even with the channel cut down. After pondering a bit, I think I’ll try cutting grooves in the sire of the delrin and running the delrin block between two pieces of rod. I’ve got some aluminum that should work for this, so I don’t need to buy anything new.

Dong Shin 10.08.20100

  • working from home
  • Query Logs Viewer added to PPM
    • filtering by query types; SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
    • retrieve 50 records at a time with previous and next buttons
    • query can be viewed in bottom textArea by selecting an item on the dataGrid
    • Admins only

Phil 10.7.2010

8:00 – 4:00VISIBILITY

  • Set up a preliminary Meeting with LTC Mike H. to demonstrate VISIBILITY for Friday am.
  • Talked to Dong about the ChangeLog query builder component.
  • S33P Meeting
    • Brian, Phil, Murph, Hoop, Bill, Dave.
    • Intent is to hand off the use of the tool to Capt. Anglin(sp?), but to keep foot in for funiding and requirements
    • Suggestion is to have Trish come out and we can record her using the tool
    • “Suggest Feature” button. Brings up a dialog so that requests can be stored then later evaluated for priority
    • Training is highest priority, along with getting FY11 data entered. We offered to help with that, since it would give us use of the system in its targeted environment with actual data.
  • Flex in a week
    • Day 2 Episode 9
    • Day2 Episode 10

Dong Shin 10.07.2010

  • added date, time fields to query_history table
  • PPM Server now supports query recording by default
    • SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE, INSERT are recorded
  • downloaded JuiceKit, but build failed on juicekit-repository (http://www.juicekit.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases)
    • repo not available – will try later

Phil 10.6.2010

8:00 – 9:00 pm

  • Masha M. Is still poking around in VISIBILITY
  • Talked with Frank G. about Dong and VISIBILITY. Explained that Dong had been on Catwalk, but moved to SENSIAC when the money dried up. Then I showed Frank the current state of VISIBILITY, which he liked a lot. He’s going to see if S2F would be interested in a financial entry system like S33P.
  • Dong is having a problem with building MySqlIf. Among the problems, it looks like selectNode is working too simplistically. Switched to findNodeByFullName(), which needed to be tweaked as well.
  • Flex in a week
    • Day 2 Episode 5
      • You can now set conditional breakpoints. Right click on the breakpoint, select “properties”, and then set the condition (i.e. “foo > 10”);
    • Day 2 Episode 6
    • Day 2 Episode 9
  • Helped Keil out with some remote object and warfile building
  • Flex Users Group
    • Presentation by Chris Gemignani of Juce Analytics. They have developed a set of open-source libraries for handling large sets of data client-side in Flex. The product is called JuceKit (http://www.juicekit.org/)
    • JuceKit is  built on the flare actionscript library (http://flare.prefuse.org/), which is also a good resource. Nice high performance as well.
    • Another very cool thing was  protovis, which was written by the guy who wrote flare. It’s all in javascript and looks amazingly good. It runs in Firefox and Chrome, but doesn’t in IE. Not sure about the others.
    • Juce Analytics is starting to use Maven to do their builds. Apparantly they’ve gottenthings working well with FB4? I got Chris G’s contact information, and will pursue – (chris.gemignani@juiceanalytics.com, phone: 571.205.4789)
