Monday 2021-08-23

0.25 hours: Update Jenkins servers.
2.00 hours: Scancan: Encoded French version of introduction, and added French abstracts to all articles for vol 28; reported a couple of questions and issues to HT.
0.75 hours: Maint: Jenkins server went down, with Apache unable to get a response from the Jenkins process. A reboot and some tweaks to virtual host file and removal of a potentially problematic plugin seem to have solved it.
1.00 hours: DVPP: Meeting with ALHS and JJ re facsimiles and msDesc encoding.
2.00 hours: DVPP: Abstracting duplicated code as I get back into poem rendering work; fixes for broken image links; planning meeting with AC.

Tuesday 2021-08-24

0.25 hours: Update Jenkins servers.
1.50 hours: DVPP: More work on poem rendering, culminating in long set of questions for AC; collecting together timesheets & checking grant budget; rebuilding all TEI metadata in poems.
1.75 hours: HCMC: Staff meeting and follow-up.
0.25 hours: Maint: Booted and updated all lab machines.
3.00 hours: BreezeMap: Working on support for custom icons for categories. First part (encoding and transforming info into JSON/JS) is now working; what remains is the rendering portion, which turns out to be tricky because of the way category rendering is handled right now.
0.75 hours: Maint: Experimenting (unsuccessfully) with Gnome Boxes as a possible replacement for VirtualBox.

Total: 7.50 hours

2.50 hours: MoEML: Prep for project meeting, project meeting, implemented new prefixDef along with processing and Schematron, tested and committed.
2.50 hours: BreezeMap: Discussions with GN about possible feature requests and suitability for whales project; more planning on how to pass category information to the style-generating feature. This may require a major rewrite, but it would probably be a good thing.

Thursday 2021-08-26

0.50 hours: Maint: Periodic desk cleaning. Let KB know about cleaning supplies we need to order.
0.25 hours: Update Jenkins servers.
1.50 hours: LEMDO: Research and fix weird bug in rendering of long bibliography: Chromium-based browsers cap grid rows and columns at 1000, and after that just render a messy black blob. Had to rework as tables.
2.00 hours: TEI: Stylesheets working group meeting, prep and follow up on tickets.
1.25 hours: Maint: Research on new desktop purchase, and monitoring to see what maxes out in my current setup (it's CPU).
2.00 hours: BreezeMap: Finally figured out a decent approach to rendering custom icons, and then did some additional enhancement, cleanup and documentation.

Total: 7.50 hours

Friday 2021-08-27

0.25 hours: Update Jenkins servers.
1.25 hours: TEI: Weekly meeting with SB; created TEI wiki page for our initial plans for an ODD processor.
0.25 hours: Scancan: Encoding tweak for italics per HT.
3.50 hours: LEMDO: Dug into the thorny issue of local citation pointers and how they should interact with the assp number/id system we've settled on. Fixed a problem which was removing required anchors during the build; wrote a first implementation of processing the pointers themselves, as well as generating link text representing the pointed-at location.
1.00 hours: BreezeMap: Research into clustering in the API documentation, and discussions with GN about integrating this, switching from shapes to points at specific zoom levels, and so on.
0.75 hours: MoEML: Wrote documentation for the new molshows prefix, and investigated options for get-next-id tool for encoders (which it turns out will need to wait for a repo reorg, so that the redirects are available). Added a semi-closed valList for @xml:lang along with Schematron to catch most common error.
0.25 hours: DVPP: On AC's instructions, published the latest version of the site to the live server.
