SQL Debugging

Some queries in the par application are slow, so I spent the day coming up with faster versions of them. Yesterday I handled a call from a user who wanted to understand Zope procedures her.

Working Script?

I think I've squashed all the bugs in my email alias script. I also wrote my personal goal for next year's PAR.

Back Debugging

I've spent the day trying to resolve the problems with my alias file ingest script. Monday through Wednesday were spent in Hibernate training.

Telecon

We demoed our par application for Gemini today. While preparing the demo we discovered another bug: if the first or last name is null in ldap, the par for that person will crash the application. I changed the code so that nulls in these fields are converted to blank strings. In addition I tested the email alias to ldap conversion script and discovered a bug when writing to ldap. I still have to fix the bug.

Scripts Done

I finished the move script, tested it, and ran it against doright when it worked. I've put off running the alias file script until tomorrow morning as I didn't want to run it at the end of the day.

Another Script

I finished coding the ldap update script and tested it. It worked, so I coded most of the script to move the affiliate records into the People relation.

More Code

I spent the day coding update_alias, the new update script for the alias file.

Email Alias Code

I spent the day working the email alias problem. I verified that the alternatemailaddress field had been deleted by code and I started working on the revision of my code to update ldap from the alias file according to Otto's new rules.

Change of Pace

I finished the code (but not the add form) for the Palm Report product. We held a meeting on the email alias project and I set out working the revised spec. I modified the remove_attribute.pl script and mailed it to Matt and Otto.

Palm Phonebook

Spent the day trying to turn my Palm download code into a Zope product. It's been some time since I've done this and I'm having trouble remembering how the addFunction method should work.
