ProjectEcho: Interstitial Journaling Project 3

 I am thinking it is 99% done as I am not coming up with new ideas to add to it. 

https://github.com/krgirard33/ProjectEcho

Started as a note taking app that time stamps the notes, 

• then got project labels so I could figure out what project I was working on, 
• then got todos which ties into the projects, 
• got a calendar so I could limit the notes to the last 2 weeks, 
• then finished todos got limited to 1 month and added to the calendar, 
• then project dashboards, 
• then elapsed time so I could see how many hours I spent in each day, 
• then how many hours on a project, 
• then I added in recurring todos (The thing I am still tweaking around, not sure I am happy with).

 Need to update the User's Guide. 

And now I wonder what will come next.  

 

Rule 14

 If it is a major issue to get something fixed in the source program, then you have to fix it in your program. 

Inventing work arounds is fun.

ProjectEcho: Interstitial Journaling Project 2

 I have been having a lot of fun creating this. Totally flying by the seat of my pants, creating new features based on "It be neat if it had..." 

I think it is almost ready to try and use at work.

ProjectEcho: Interstitial Journaling Project

So, what does a programmer do after a week of programming? Works on my own silly project., an Interstitial Journaling page... that has mission creep. 

The basic idea of interstitial journaling is to write a few lines every time you take a break, and to track the exact time you are taking these notes. (For more on this: https://nesslabs.com/interstitial-journaling)

 I needed a better way to track what I am doing at work, as different projects get charged to different accounts, and this looked interesting and easy.

 I through in a calendar so I can see what I did last week, and a todo list so I can kinda plan stuff. 
But most of it has been me working with it and saying "It needs...". Very little planning. 

It is ProjectEcho as it is a way for me to get some feedback on where all the time went, what was I doing, etc.

Jira

 I have decided that 'latest' is the 'sudo' of Jira api. 

Also, does anyone have a good source for learning Jira api?  

Hey, could you build...

That part where people ask if you could build a thing is never ending. The wife asked me about building something this morning. I couldn't run away as I was in the shower. 

Seems that Big Convention hired a company to build something that seems fairly simple, deadline of June 30, and BC hasn't seen the product yet. 

The sad part is... Yeah, I think I could build it, as could most everyone on here. A website that lets random folks sign in and fill out an incident report, storing the data in a db, and then lets others record all the follow up, plus create some progress reports, as well as daily and weekly reports. 

So yeah, I've already designed it, and redesigned it 5 times on the way to work, as I keep realizing new functions for it. 

Life as a coder.

I am not always smart

Witness me! I am an example of what not to do. 

Yesterday I was the pretty one! Like, so so pretty!

I spent several hours yesterday trying to figure out why I was making changes to files, and if I ran the file on its own it worked, but when I ran the bat file, it ignored all my changes. 

A coworker watched me make changes, and also couldn't understand why it was doing what it was doing. 

Today, I am less pretty. I discovered I was editing the files in the src folder, but the bat file runs the files in the main folder. 

Why there are duplicate files in this program I don't have an answer for. I didn't write it... But it is based on something I did write. So, it is complex.
