Adilas.biz Developer's Notebook Report - 3/1/2016 to 3/31/2016 - (141)
Photos	Time Id	Color	Title/Caption	Start Date	Notes
	Shop 588		Sub Inventory	3/1/2016	On a GoToMeeting session with Steve. We talked with Bryan on servers, prices, options for billing for storage, etc. We then rolled into some tweaks for sub inventory. We basically tried to tighten up the reporting for sub inventory. I spent most of the day working on the advanced sub inventory searches (PO's and invoices). While I was working, Steve and Russell were talking about apps, new technology, and other fun ideas and concepts. Things are going more and more mobile. Posted new files online and did some testing. Good stuff.

	Shop 641		Adilas World	3/1/2016	Got together with Alan. We went over his code and progress for the sub special flags, tags, categories, phases, sub locations, and sub progress reports stuff. This is a pretty big project. Alan is doing great and things are looking good. We also talked about the sub function of time called the any assignment feature. We even looked into the bit bucket branch ADI-25 for some other code changes that have been done. I also talked with Dave Forbis about some new projects and we did some brainstorming.

	Shop 866		Working with Russell on the timeline project	3/1/2016	To do list for our project: 1. We need to update some of the fields in the time templates page. See element of time # 683. (Done on 3/1/16.) 2. Once the template settings are in place we need to cascade the new settings. (Done on 10/25/16.) 3. We want to limit the outside timeline project to only pull from elements that have been set to show on the web. (Done on 10/25/16.) 4. Add the datepicker for the developer's notebook or timeline project. (Done on 3/1/16.) 5. full listing from max to min - the goal is to get spiders to crawl the site and archive pieces. add a link to per year that has a link to per months. that way we don't have to show everything but the spiders will be able to crawl it. 6. Add links for photos and scans, a gallery, and options to view media/content pieces. 7. We also need a drill-down option where more details and subs may be displayed. 8. At some point, we will want to do a public calendar type interface for elements of time. This may be later on and will go in the shop folder with other ecommerce stuff.

	Shop 429		Calvin Chipman	3/1/2016	Calvin was off skiing today. Good stuff!

	Shop 600		Adilas world projects	3/1/2016	Talked with Russell about progress and where we are at. We met and chatted about funding and encouragement (keep going talk). Things get tough and sometimes it is hard to keep going without any real tangible success. We then worked on the developer's notebook and timeline project. As part of the day, we decided to work on the show on the web option for elements of time. That spun us off into some other time template changes. We did some planning and then started working on the database side of things. Busy day.

	Shop 805		Beaver Mountain	3/1/2016	Working with Daniel on the Beaver Mountain project. We added in the reoccurring and did lots of new code work. We even started into adding things into the overflow array (double and triple booking stuff). We hit a number of brick walls and ended up deleting code, using paper, MS Excel, and even a full session at the whiteboard. Lots of doors and options (variables, if statements, logic twists, and conflicts). Pretty crazy night. We ended the night at the whiteboard, hopefully with a plan for tomorrow.

	Shop 531		Brandon Coding Time	3/2/2016	Emails and recording notes. Worked with Bryan on the data 4 server. Tech support call with Newtek on domain stuff. Going over required updates for the data 4 server. Also met with Chris Scholle about rent and the adilas app.

	Shop 864		Custom Shopping Carts	3/2/2016	Going over the concepts of a custom shopping cart, skins, and settings for new shopping carts. We went over world level settings (corp settings) and user settings (personal settings). We wrote down some files and talked about how to implement things, setup session vars, and then allow the cart to flex and hold those new settings and pages.

	Shop 687		Calvin Chipman	3/2/2016

	Shop 601		Adilas world projects	3/2/2016	Met with Russell and did some planning on the app mode or app level of adilas. Russell wants to make a virtual skin and create a super responsive and dummied down version of the whole site. We decided to make a new folder called "app" and then change some of the mappings. We did some copying and pasting and added the new folder. We then started changing some of the mappings and paths. As we got deeper, it was looking like it may be a bigger project. We then changed gears and did some simple copying and pasting and moved an entire copy of the top_secret folder into the new app folder. With minimal changes, we were able to get a new version up and running pretty easy. The problem was that the new version duplicated the code. There are some both good and bad sides to this type of approach. It is fast and fairly flexible. However, the problem comes when it is time to update and make changes. All of the sudden, you just duplicated and complicated the ability to make changes and cascade those changes around. It was amazing how fast we could virtually create a full copy of the code and setup a whole new sub channel. Once again, the downside would come later on when updating and making changes. Anyways, a great idea but it definitely needs some thought before you just jump and commit to this type of a model. The ideal is still a one-to-many relationship between code, pages, and logic.

	Shop 806		Beaver Mountain	3/2/2016	Worked with Daniel up at the board. We got a plan in place and then started into the code work. We didn't get a whole lot of code added but what we did seemed much smoother. We were changing from a multi-layered if statements to a more simpler decision tree-type model. Our decision tree model was dealing with simple things like, is the slot open or closed? If open, check for new entries. If closed, roll over all other options to the overflow or conflict section. That really seemed to help us out with flow and new logic.

	Shop 589		Sub Inventory	3/3/2016	On a GoToMeeting session with Steve. We went over some questions, possible bugs, and then did some work on sub inventory. We are trying to push and export sub inventory to Excel. At the end of the call we had a client online with us and we tried to do some debugging on some of the sub inventory stuff. I had her show us what was going on and then send us a copy of the raw HTML output for the page she was having problems with.

	Shop 642		Adilas World	3/3/2016	Working with Alan on sub tags, flags, categories, and other sub tracking options for elements of time. We also grabbed Russell and had a meeting on goals, timelines, and how we are going forward.

	Shop 3919		Virtual Post-It Note	3/3/2016	-Email ram back about chip stuff for cards -Record notes about sub pages and how we did the " app " folder

	Shop 688		Calvin Chipman	3/3/2016	Quick phone call to talk about general stuff. Nothing major going on right this second.

	Shop 602		Adilas world projects	3/3/2016	Met with Russell to work on the timeline project and the developer's notebook section. We went over where we left off and started working on cascading the new time template settings to the different pages. We spent quite a bit of time on the add/edit template page and then rolled into the action page. We also had a great talk about plans, personal goals, budgets, and timeframes for getting projects launched. Everybody is getting stresses and running kinda thin. Just trying to keep things in check.

	Shop 807		Beaver Mountain	3/3/2016	Working with Daniel on the Beaver Mountain project and the horizontal timeline page. Tons of progress and we added new code to handle a ton of collision and conflict type pieces dealing with the horizontal time view. We added code for all sections, tons of testing, and worked on the overflow or timeslot conflict section. At the end of the session we also worked through a number of the to do list options for the page. Great session and happy with the progress.

	Shop 888		Uploading new files	3/4/2016	Emails, writing out checks, and uploading some new files for Beaver Mountain. Light clean-up and prep work.

	Shop 356		Brandon Gone All Friday	3/4/2016	Good day on the hill. I got to go freeride for the first hour. I then came in and worked with Camiell and Debbie for an hour on adilas and some of the new features and settings. After that, I got ready and taught my last two college classes for this year. We had a great time and the lessons flew by. Good stuff.

	Shop 889		Demoing Beaver Mountain on some of the new features	3/4/2016	Demoing Debbie and Camiel on new features for the Beaver Horizontal time view. Went over a number of new options and did some training.

	Shop 890		Working with Daniel on the Beaver project	3/5/2016	Daniel came over to my house and we finished things up for the Beaver Mountain project (round 1). We added filters for colors and time templates. We added code to limit by user, we built the instructor view of the horizontal time view and modified the page as needed. We then added some black box stuff for the limited flex grid stuff (custom code on top of other custom code and settings - pretty cool), fixing the student report, other small fixes. Reviewing the project and looking at what we learned.

	Shop 829		Adilas Icons	3/7/2016	Worked with Bryan on the data 4 server. We pushed up files, checked domain specific files, contacted tech support, setup other settings and signed off on a number of preproduction tests and checks. Good session. We also talked with Adam Self, a project manager for Midax (electronic payment solutions) and talked about a current project that is building and shaping.

	Shop 643		Adilas World	3/7/2016	Alan's car had some problems, so we did get to meet. No action was taken.

	Shop 690		Calvin Chipman	3/7/2016	On a GoToMeeting session with Calvin. We were going over some code for the Emerald Fields ecommerce sites. Small debugging on some images and other light logic tweaks.

	Shop 900		Working with Will	3/7/2016	Working with Will on a number of different projects. We did some code sign-off, checked a new project plan, and did some light training. Good session.

	Shop 603		Adilas world projects	3/7/2016	Met up with Russell. We worked on some new settings for the time templates. Lots of ColdFusion training and going over logic and how if statements and conditional logic work. We had a couple of light bulb moments and that was good. Towards the end, I worked with Nick Vaughn on his code for the adilas market and adilas world project. Good stuff and things are looking good. It will be awesome to get some of that stuff up and going live. Yee haw!

	Shop 808		Beaver Mountain	3/7/2016	Met with Daniel and we worked on a bulk add user/payee page for assigning instructors (user/payees) to a roster. This is a modified user list with checkboxes that allow multiple assignments all at the same time. The action page then added a piece of flex grid for each user. We are working from elements of time and assigning multiple user/payees at a time. The code on the page will allow for other multi assignments with minimal tweaks due to the way things were setup. Good session.

	Shop 899		Finished up the Beaver Mountain project	3/7/2016	On a GoToMeeting session with Daniel to finish up the Beaver Mountain project. This was round 1 of the Ski School Scheduling Application. Daniel and I tested some code, merged files into master branch, and then uploaded and tested files online. We also created a couple of graphics and icons for some of the custom interfaces. It feels to good to get the first round up and fully online. This has been a almost a four month project for us. Tons of new improvements and new features. Good stuff.

	Shop 965		Working with Bryan on the data 4 server	3/8/2016	Working with Bryan on the data 4 server. We disabled a Windows firewall and that helped. We still have a hardware firewall but needed to get rid of the normal Windows firewall. Testing pages, connections, and on the phone with tech support.

	Shop 966		Conference call with Midax and Livewire	3/8/2016	On a conference call with Midax (closed loop payment solution) and Livewire (kiosk company). Tons of opinions and not a whole lot of decisions. We need a more concrete documentation and direction before we can really play. Currently most of the information is just ideas.

	Shop 967		Working with Shawn	3/8/2016	Working with Shawn on payroll withholdings. He is working on cutting down the main payroll page into smaller functions.

	Shop 644		Adilas World	3/8/2016	Alan and I worked on the "any" scheduler app and sub functions of time. We ended up going into the adilas university site and looking up some of the early brainstorming pieces for elements of time. We talked types of time, functions of time, 3D world building, data assembly line stuff, and much more. I was really enjoying the dialog and conversation. I hope that Alan was enjoying it as much. This has been part of the dream all along. Fun session.

	Shop 968		Invoice migration with Daniel	3/8/2016	Working with Daniel on a custom migration project for a client. We talked about it and then ended up at the board drawing out flow and what pieces go to what parts or sections. Going through things step by step and trying to make sense of the process and pieces. As a side note, it is so important that these developers learn how to create a plan to go from what they get to what they need or want. If they understand some of the options and tools that already exist, they will thrive and grow. If not, they need lots of hand holding and coaching. Some of this stuff takes lots of time to figure out.

	Shop 830		Adilas Icons	3/8/2016	Working with Bryan on getting things ready for the data 4 server. We did some small code tweaks, added some special tie-ins, reset passwords, and then started working on the first bus level migration project. This is a data thing and starting to split up the worlds and how the data is stored. Lots of work physically on the remote servers.

	Shop 691		Calvin Chipman	3/8/2016	Calvin called and Daniel and Calvin worked on getting Calvin's machine stable after a phishing scam got loaded on Calvin's machine from an email sent by one of our clients. Kinda silly. After that, we talked about ecommerce stuff and how to get the pieces that we need. I also told Calvin that we were using his SQL Editor and pulling our first round of data to help split up the worlds and data on the databases.

	Shop 969		Talking with Shawn	3/8/2016	Talking with Shawn about where things are headed and what role he will be playing there at the shop. He is trying to find his place and get into the swing of things. All is well, it will just take some time to transition over to how we do things now vs. how we did things back in the day.

	Shop 604		Adilas world projects	3/8/2016	Working with Russell on new time templates and cascading the new settings around. We did some review and even talked about how to use adilas media/content pieces and a pre-built YouTube video player for adilas YouTube videos. Good session and Russell is going to do great. He is swimming in some deep water and has tackled some big projects. I applaud him for his dreams and trying to get in there and play the game.

	Shop 756		Errors on Sub Inventory	3/8/2016	On a GoToMeeting session with Steve. We talked about moving clients to other servers (manual load balancing) and other requests. We also worked on a small bug for sub inventory. It was kinda hard to find and we finally got it figured out. Sub inventory has tons of twists and turns to help make it work and run smoothly. Super deep. At the end, I showed Steve some of the new features for the Beaver Horizontal Time View. We went in and played around on the Beaver site to go over some of the new features. Good stuff.

	Shop 970		Recording notes	3/8/2016	Recording note from the day. Lots of good things happening. We launched and released the data 4 server today. We also ordered the new data 5 server. Bryan will start on that tomorrow or the next day.

	Shop 971		Paying bills	3/8/2016	Recording bills, making some payments, and scanning in receipts and invoices.

	Shop 975		Prep & working on migrating data from server to server	3/9/2016	Working with Bryan on a invoice data migration project. We also jumped in and started to move Blum and The Green Door off the bus (shared database environment) and onto a new server. This first practice round was with some older data. We just wanted to see what would happen. I also spent some time with Bryan going over the process of what we needed to do to get the invoice data migration project going.

	Shop 532		Brandon Coding Time	3/9/2016	Working on a new page to help show what database tables and record counts exist for each corporation. This report will be used to help with the data migration process. This is a prep step for the upcoming world building project. The goal is to get everybody off the buss (shared database environment) and get each company or group of companies using their own database. I also helped out Shawn and Bryan with different little questions on their projects. Shawn is doing payroll functions and Bryan was working on servers and doing a custom data import project for a client.

	Shop 974		Allow other developers to record notes and tips	3/9/2016	Russell came in today and mentioned that we need to allow developers to record tips, tricks, and help for each other. He mentioned the developer's notebook or using the shop to do this. This could be cautions, helpful hints, tips, and things that worked for them. Almost an internal forum of sorts. Good idea.

	Shop 978		Signing off on code	3/9/2016	Signing off on code with Will. We looked over some reward points on mini invoices (customer receipts) as well as some Biotrack API socket stuff. Will is getting better and better at writing code and prepping his files and projects. Good stuff.

	Shop 692		Calvin Chipman	3/9/2016	No call was made today. No action took place.

	Shop 605		Adilas world projects	3/9/2016	Working with Russell. We ended up spending the whole time going over what is done and what is not yet done on the ecommerce side of the fence. We played with existing features and settings and set some rough time budgets to get some of the pieces more stable and tighter. Russell was very patient and listened to me go on about some of the drama that we have had in building out some of the ecommerce pieces. That project has been a long ride. We also talked about other future and upcoming options that might be needed to help the ecommerce section go to the next level. Exciting but kinda overwhelming - due to the amount of work that is still needed. I gave it a 75-80% done rating.

	Shop 757		World Building	3/9/2016	On a GoToMeeting session with Steve and Will trying to debug a couple of errors on pages. One of them was really fast. The other one got deep and we couldn't really tell where the problem was located. We flipped back and forth between the presenters and shared our screens. The problem was dealing with sub inventory and the new bulk edit PO page and logic. We can't tell if that page is wrong or the add/edit sub inventory logic is wrong. It only happens at certain times, but there seems to be a small disconnect between the normal logic and sub inventory logic. That project is super deep and hasn't really been all the way looked over and/or verified (code sign-off).

	Shop 976		Migrating data for Blum and The Green Door	3/9/2016	Migrating data from the data 2 server to the data 4 server. We are starting with Blum and The Green Door as our first moves to get people off of the buss (shared database environment). Did some prep, some practice with older data, and then tried to record as much as possible of the process on a small text document. I used Calvin's SQL Editor and did queries, look-ups, exports, and had a web checklist that I worked off of. The web checklist shows all tables that have corp specific data for the different corporations. That page was just created earlier today for this process. Talk about web ink... :)

	Shop 979		Recording notes	3/10/2016	Recording notes and cleaning up the shop elements of time.

	Shop 980		Data migration of over 10 million records	3/10/2016	Finished up the data migration for Blum and The Green Door. We moved their data from the data2.adilas.biz server to the data4.adilas.biz server. There were over 10 million records in almost 70 different tables. Busy and crazy night... Lots of server work and pushing things here and there. I did take some notes, so I'll get those in place when I can actually see straight. We started last night about 9:15 pm and went clear through until about 10:30 am this morning. This was our first manual split off the bus (shared database server) to pull the data to a different server without copying everything else. This will end up being the first of many - and I hope we can improve the process as we go - This was a marathon.

	Shop 646		Adilas World	3/10/2016	I emailed Alan and had to cancel this appointment. I was still trying to get stuff done for the data migration. Super tired.

	Shop 831		Adilas Icons	3/10/2016	This didn't happen. I was out for the count due to the all night migration stuff.

	Shop 3920		Virtual Post-It Note	3/10/2016	-On ecommerce - maybe make a pricing function that help figure out the price for ecomm - too many if's and settings

	Shop 693		Calvin Chipman	3/10/2016	On the phone with Calvin. He wanted to know about the adilas API pages and how to make the socket connections work. We went over some settings and I helped him navigate to the web folder and showed him a few things dealing with the adilas API socket stuff. He has an upcoming job that will require some quote information.

	Shop 606		Adilas world projects	3/10/2016	I missed most of our appointment. It was supposed to be from 1 to 3:30 pm but I was still sleeping and recovering from the all nighter and data migration stuff for Blum and The Green Door. We ended up talking about some ecommerce stuff and where things are headed.

	Shop 758		World Building	3/10/2016	On the phone with Steve. We talked about a couple of projects and some light funding stuff. We then went in and blocked the new edit PO lines items page due to a small bug with sub inventory.

	Shop 357		Brandon Gone All Friday	3/11/2016	Good day on the hill. Got ready and helped with a school in the morning. After that, I went and did some riding with both Cody and Adam. We were just messing around on the little beaver trails and lift. Good stuff. After lunch, Cody and I went and did a backside run off of second peak. Super fun run. We then ran another shuttle and did a second one. Adam and Karlie went with us on this one. The snow was even better than the first one. Super fun and good times. I really enjoyed it. Sometimes it is fun to remember why you do what you do.

	Shop 984		Paying bills and general stuff	3/12/2016	Paying bills, writing checks, passing on logos, light clean-up on shop notes and schedule. Had a GoToMeeting session with Calvin going over cascading the web page id settings to all servers. On a different GoToMeeting session with Will on some new personal settings and looping over a list. Will is working on default shopping carts. Working with Shawn on the payroll commission reports. We had to add a number of flex grid records to our customer data to tie-in customers to corps and how much they pay monthly. The new report page uses those special tie-in values. Here is the URL for the payroll commissions reports: https://data0.adilas.biz/temp/payroll_commissions.cfm https://data0.adilas.biz/temp/look_up_payroll_commissions.cfm

	Shop 1063		Scheduling and setting up some rules	3/14/2016	Went through the schedule from mid March to the end of the year and setup a basic structure and schedule. I claimed Wednesday mornings from 9-12 pm and all day Friday's for myself and the projects that I have going on. I then created an email explaining about the rules and how we need to play to get all of the things done that we need to. See attached for a copy of the email that was sent out.

	Shop 647		Adilas World	3/14/2016	Looking over "any" assignment progress. Also looked over code for the special flags and tags. Started to help Alan with the scripting pages for the database updates. We are getting ready to do some code sign-off on the special flags and tags stuff.

	Shop 832		Adilas Icons	3/14/2016	Copied about 47 icon menu pages over to my need sign-off folder. This project is being turned over to me as Bryan has advanced this ball as far as he was able. We started to go through the different pages and push up what we could.

	Shop 3921		Virtual Post-It Note	3/14/2016	Code sign-off stuff -Scripts, update, inserts, sample -We need to build a standard doc -Functions -Db's -validation -Code sign-off

	Shop 694		Calvin Chipman	3/14/2016	Calvin called and we did a Zoom session (new screen sharing software). We went over some of the features of Zoom and then talked about a PO question and how it works for Calvin's Adilas Label Wizard. We have a client requesting a new price field as part of the export.

	Shop 607		Adilas world projects	3/14/2016	Went over some ecommerce questions with Russell. We also installed some Safe Harbor photos and part number data (play information) on Russell's local server. Russell is going to be working on some ecommerce changes and such. At the end, we started to plan out a small database table for Russell to play with. He is trying to get into ColdFusion and MySQL.

	Shop 759		World Building	3/14/2016	On a GoToMeeting session with Steve working on the bulk edit PO line items. We were debugging the sub inventory edits and how to track things through. Will Hudson came over and watched and we got everything figured out. We made the fixes and then repushed the files up to all live servers.

	Shop 833		Adilas Icons	3/15/2016	Working on the invoice data migration for A Touch of Style. Going over logic and flow.

	Shop 648		Adilas World	3/15/2016	Going over code to do a code sign-off for sub tags, flags, and categories. Good long session on the subject. Lots of progress. Signed off on 10 files - from update scripts to add/edit template settings, to add/edit sub tags and flags. We still have a bit left, but really good session.

	Shop 695		Calvin Chipman	3/15/2016	No call was made today.

	Shop 608		Adilas world projects	3/15/2016	Working with Russell. We got pulled in a couple different directions. We were merging time template files to get our code and Alan's code to match up. I also had to jump out and work with Shawn on payroll, taxes, and cc swipe stuff. By the time we had finished, Russell and I did successfully get our code merged with Alan's code. We are adding in a number of new time template settings for default start and end times and show on the web settings. Also as a note, Russell has been working on some ecommerce things on his own. I've been helping him with questions here and there.

	Shop 533		Brandon Coding Time	3/16/2016	Worked from 7 am to 1:30 pm with Bryan. We did a couple different projects. The first one was dealing with the invoice migration for A Touch of Style. We had a group discussion with Russell, Bryan, and I about the state of things. I went off about how many different things we are expected to do and how it is so hard to balance everything. I was kinda venting and gratefully both Bryan and Russell listened and helped me through it. Bryan and I then worked on the adilas API sockets and trying to get things up and running there. We recorded some videos and prepped and cleaned up a number of things. It felt good to get things cleaned up a bit more and make things tighter. Some of the pressures that exist are from things (code or sections of code) not being fully done or completed. We have a lot of things flapping in the wind. That adds stress because they are not done and people want to use them. Anyways, good session.

	Shop 834		Adilas Icons	3/16/2016	This never really happened. I was working with Bryan, but we spent the whole morning working on the API sockets and doing some light clean-up there. See other notes for details.

	Shop 696		Calvin Chipman	3/16/2016	No call happened. So I worked with B. Dayton and we did some videos on connecting to the adilas API sockets and what settings are needed. Good session. We did go a bit over but I think it was time well spent.

	Shop 1069		Code sign off	3/16/2016	Merged in some code for custom projects and then worked on Will's custom cart stuff. Made a couple of small tweaks and went over direction.

	Shop 1070		SHAWN	3/16/2016	Briefly met with Shawn on his projects. I had gone over meeting with other people. Not really able to jump in very deep today.

	Shop 811		Beaver Mountain	3/16/2016	Met with Daniel to go over the Beaver Mountain Project. The project is already done. This meeting was a recap and see what we learned meeting. We also talked about finances and getting all squared up on monies and billing. The last topic of the day was dealing with visualization of data and using charts and graphs. Daniel has a class up at the university that needs a project that deals with visualization of data and different things. We spent quite a bit of time looking into some d3.js options. The d3 is short for data driven documents. The .js part deals with javascript libraries. Cool stuff.

	Shop 835		Adilas Icons	3/17/2016	Working with Bryan on code sign-off for his ecommerce customer bill pay portal code. We were going through pages and making changes.

	Shop 649		Adilas World	3/17/2016	Alan and I worked on signing off on code for the sub special flags, tags, and categories for elements of time. We made a lot of progress and signed off on a number of pages. Good session. Alan is doing very well and the work is tight and good.
