Talked to JM:

Running the system on the appropriate servers by July
Adding project management capability

Talked to JW about documentation
Having Tom set up VISIBILITY, Scripting, and ProjPortfolio on viz-n
Laid out some of the issues about getting the Network widget into VISIBILITY, and did a little roadmapping on future work
Pinged Ken Beckman about how the install was coming

2:30 – 3:30 (FP)

Added in the sensors and set up the motor to hold the bar in place, but the readings aren’t shifting much.

Finally back home to the internets.

Connected the scale bar to the slides, works exactly the same as it does for the work area
Added a tip about slide shows to the tip panel
fixed an annoying issue where when saving a slideshow, the dropdown menu would refresh and possible select a different slideshow
Tested all layout managers with slide shows and they seem to all be working
Played a great deal with transitions and found some cool open source ones available but integrating them would be a great deal of work and probably not worth it right now. For now three basic transitions are available and look pretty good:
- Dissolve (like fade but also fades text)
- Wipe
- Zoom (looks pretty cool actually)

Will start looking at the network widget.

7:30 – 1:30 (VISIBILITY)

Walked through the newest version with S14 folks
- Saving user and Funding requests failed
- “logged in as null” on banner
- There should be a way of creating a new project from an existing one (only the FY changes in many cases)
- We will need to delete items that have been added in. How? As administrator?
- For comboboxes and select buttons, include “Add” feature
- General Notes:
  - Add Users
    - All fields should be blank
    - No ‘Phone’. Just ‘Classified Phone’ and “Unclassified Phone’
    - No ‘Classified Email’
    - New names for roles (should be common across all panels)
      - ‘Portfolio Manager (NSA)’ [NSA POC from funding]
      - ‘Service Project Manager (site)’ [Technical POC from funding]
      - ‘Finance Analyst (NSA)’ [Funding Mgr from funding]
      - ‘Service Finance POC (site)’ [Financial POC from funding]
  - Create Project
    - Does start FY have a validator for bad years (i.e 200001)? This could be a dropdown from current year -4 to current year + 4?
    - Year columns in grid should be based off of the Start FY
    - Make roles in project creation the same as those in “Add User’, above
    - ‘VFR’ should be ‘UFR’
    - ‘Appropriation’ should be a combobox
    - ‘Add Budget’ dialog should have the following fields:
      - Budget Center Number (validate for uniqueness)
      - Budget Center Name(validate for uniqueness)
      - Capability (Addable list)
      - Expenditure Center (Addable list)
      - Investment Portfolio (Addable list)
  - Add Funding
    - Populate information in funding request from project info: (project name, project number, budget center and budget
    - Move save button to lower right
    - Eliminate capability field, since it’s linked to budget center
    - Portfolio manager field can be deleted. It’s the NSA POC (which should be ‘Portfolio Manager (NSA)’)

FP – 1:30 – 5:00

Made Dprint a Singleton
Using displace rather than go_to_angle
Integrating sensors. Had a weird experience where the parent class seems to not have pointed the DataDictionary instance correctly. Odd.
Spent some time explaining to Tom how pointers work 🙂

Working on Dprint(). Got the basics working.

8:00 – 5:00

Added a PMP role under S2A
Added PMP folks to VISIBILITY
Left a note with JM on progress
Testing role update
Also looking at new web hosts, since hostjava.net kinda sucks:
- viz-n.com (hostjava.net) baseline:
  - ping (min/avg/max/med) – 156/327/442/348
  - 6.7% packet loss
  - tracert hops: 13 hops
- feale.com (steadfast.net)
  - ping (min/avg/max/med) – 62/176/315/162
  - 11.8% packet loss
  - tracert hops: 9 hops
- tanori.net (mediatemple)
  - ping (min/avg/max/med) – 84/256/406/260
  - 13.3% packet loss
  - tracert hops: 16 hops
- philfeldman.com (dreamhost)
  - ping (min/avg/max/med) – 77/171/284/170
  - 15.4% packet loss
  - tracert hops: 21 hops
A lot of this delay seems to be coming from us. When I ping these sites from a dreamhost server, I get much better numbers. There is no packet loss at all, and the times are better (in the case of mediatemple, they’re phenomenal)
- tanori.net ping (min/avg/max/med) – 1.8/2.0/2.1/0.09
- feale.com ping (min/avg/max/med) – 78/78/78/0.078
- viz-n.com ping (min/avg/max/med) – 87/88/88/0.268
Struggled with the role code for a while, until I realized that the actionscript object can come across to java with the children Lists being null. All seems to be working.
Burned a disk of VIS2 and PPM.
