9756

This week was pretty much all working on bug 9756. On Friday I tried to figure out what caused it, but without any luck. However, on Monday I asked some questions in the bug report and was able to figure out the cause. I spent basically all of today working on a fix.

The other main task I worked on was trying to implement switching between the different views that are in the new interface mockup with our HTML system. Eventually I just gave up on it though after talking a bunch with NPR and Andrew. As far as I can tell, it’s not possible without changing a bunch of things so I’d rather just wait for us to have widgets before we implement it.

Other than that I made the first baby steps towards the new database code, but I got pulled off of that pretty early on to work on other things.

I guess I’m going to be working on widgets now instead of Nassar. I’d like to talk a little bit on the call about how folks think we should go about this and especially if I should work on that first or the database stuff. Right now I’m leaning towards working on the database stuff first, because it’s a smaller project and I hope that the work will create a more flexible system which may help when I’m working on the widgets. Also, I was thinking that maybe I would just do the first step of the database work myself - changing it so that we use SQLite columns and tables - but hand off the work of actually switching our views to someone else.

I’m pretty happy that the 9756 seems to be fixed though, I would love to release 1.2.1 as soon as possible.
