Overview:
The SSG and CDLG are progressing, at a discontinuous rate. Fatigue, and strange Rational problems reduced productivity. The rational errors were solved by Ian Chan: apparently, to solve multiple configuration exceptions, one has to delete the Enterprise projects (the were erroneously referencing ghost Web projects, on other users machines!). Somehow, CVS became corrupted, saving these ear paths into the configuration files; upon updating, this caused havoc on other developers machines.
Events:
– finalized todo list for SSG and CDLG
- Solved rational Errors. SSG still cannot be run on seanm, but is hostable on ichan .
- Machine damage: a power surge on seanm caused a full shut down. The power on password was forgotten, and had to be reset by IBM technicians. The Machine is now funcitonal, and hosting CDLG. And the new password is even memorable.
- assigned Ian some tasks: fix SSG security session bug, fix his parts of the CDLG code (line breaks, control character problems)
-currently, in the process of haggling for new pool cues/tables for staff.
- got 2 pool cues by mistake! I only bought one.
- need to somehow fill in a command line string for winzip, so it does not zip the entire directory for SSG.
- learned about the XMLHTTP.responseText property in AJAX; will help for InfoDump lateron….
Project Notes:
- SSG:
- now, 5 logos have been added to the project. An idealized algorithm was produced, using load/unload queues, and then FIFO principals to arrange the non-deleted icons sequentially. Unfortunately, the logos are all different sizes; given Corel Draw’s limitations, a compromise was made between designers and programmer (myself). The algorithm is not ideal, but at least it is not a brute force solution (make if branches for EVERY case of the five logos = 5!, or 1000s of line of code :<).
- updated templates, will test them out.
- updated the download paths in the E: directory; broken links are resolved.
- CDLG:
- using radio buttons to toggle off text input fields is proving insanely annoying (javascript just wont work in FF).
- 1/2 done the form
-fixed minor errors lying around the project.
- need to fix backend: handling of the *ip for the dSW STG option;the multiple.jsp addition of distribution type to brand title for 3 templates, validation code for multiple servlet, change “multiple” -> “ibm” thoughout the project.
Mistakes:
- again, better organization is needed.
