AGD's Pixma printer
Topic: work
AGD texted me yesterday after office hours and told me to have his Pixma replaced/repaired. He said:

"Please change my printer. Fm da tim u instald it, it never workd wen i nid it. Always hav 2 play w conections at da bak. Now it das not even respond 2 da play w wires. Fix it or return it. Stil under waranty. Do dis tom asap. Tnx."

I'm not sure what the problem really was, but when I tried it, I just unchecked "Use this printer offline" and it printed out the pending docs.

So I told him the printer was fine, but he insisted that I replace it with the other pixma in the same batch. So I did. I replaced the printer unit without the wires/inks/cartridges, etc...

BCMS
Topic: i-Solv Project
All right, BCMS is almost done! Only minor details to take care of, besides the major task of checking whether the data was migrated properly or not.

Note to self: Remember to insist upon migating the old data into historical tables!

Above-mentioned minor details include:
1. Changed Meters - handling
2. Stopped Meters (Last Reading) - handling

BCMS bill computation checking
Topic: i-Solv Project
Did further bill computation comparison... Alma Ice Plant totalizer was only missing submeters...

My latest requests were granted (status gauge, etc.)...

SM Bill computation
Topic: i-Solv Project
Whew! Finally, we got the correct computation for SM's bill! :-)

Bugs/Suggestions in "May 24 bcms.exe"
Topic: i-Solv Project
1. Teller module...

Run-time error '13' (Type mismatch) occurs when teller selects "No current Bill" from list of bills.

2. Display a gauge in "Customer Count" module.

3. Customer Count shows no data for April and May 2005. 6 customers only for Dec 2004, Jan 2004.

4. Customers with Zero-KWH Consumption -- run time error (File not found).

Strange XP Problem
Mood:  lyrical
Topic: work
Rico approached me early to report that mapping6 was logging off automatically after displaying a dialog box saying:

"A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this Computer. Error code 0x80090019"

After fruitless searches in Google and MS.com, I had to reinstall XP. Fortunately, all I had to do after installation were the ff:

1. Install OS updates
2. disable the digital signing bla bla
3. re-register some DLL's and OCX's for viewer.

In addition, I installed AVG and myodbc, and ran the audit script for winventory. :-)

I spent about 2 hours including some cleaning of the external and internal components and installing a used CD-ROM drive.

More fine-tuning
Topic: i-Solv Project
Alemon did more fine-tuning on the collection module.

The CSR module looks good! Even Sir Jing was impressed with the graphs!! :-)

Collection module
Topic: i-Solv Project
Data migration was done by Alemon last Tuesday, and we fine-tuned the collection module...

More Customization
Topic: i-Solv Project
Alemon and Sir Jing did more interviews and customization with inputs from Rico and yours truly.

We concentrated on the bill computations.

Testing
Topic: i-Solv Project
Tested the latest BCMS.exe all day long. :-)
