Topic: work
Spent 45 minutes fixing the PC.

Tested the cable by logging on to the network using the AccThinkPad. Login successful, so I changed the NIC to one of the old CNet Pro200's.

Then I copied the driver files onto the hard disk.

Topic: work
I spent about 45 minutes, then 20 more (was caught by the lunch hour):

1. fiddling with the encrypted photos and moving to the shared folder for the committee's use
2. making available Kodak software and another one which I forget
3. Installing Fluke software.

Meeting notes
Topic: i-Solv Project
Notes on the meeting with i-Solv (from 10am to 2:20pm):

Attendance:

Cesar Agito, i-Solv GM
Alex Garcia, i-Solv Project Manager
Maricel Paz, i-Solv SysAd

JVAMJr, SFE Project Manager
DPP, Billing Supervisor
ELP, Encoder
FVV, OM
CFF, CA
Pie, Programmer
Gina, Pie's Asst.
Erap, Meter Reading
Mariliz, Meter Reading

i-Solv asked for the following:
1. Organizational Chart (from MSM)
2. Customer Application Form (ok)
3. Schedule of Rates (DPP, ok)
- other Rates (PPA, etc.)
4. Class Codes (Pie)
5. Chart of Accounts (MCAJr)
6. Structures of Tables (Pie)

My notes:

The Org. Chart is to determine ownerships of databases/tables.

Pie suggested that account numbers be changed into the following format: yymm99999... to reflect the date of application of each customer.

FVV, CFF, DPP & ELP disagreed and wanted to use a geographical approach.

Perhaps we can follow Apaul's old style, but we will include "yyyymm" in the last portion of the account number.

But i-Solv suggested that we assign Account ID's (separate and universally unique) to each applicant (& existing customers, I presume). I agree that this is the best approach.

We also discussed the possible hierarchical recording of customer address records according to Franchise, Feeder, Barangay, Sitio, Subd/Village, Street.

Suggestions/enhancements:

1. Record all adjusted readings for auditing purposes.
2. Criteria for disconnection -- table-based to be flexible

Questions:
1. Worst-case scenario: let's say merong customer na hindi na-reading for 2 years. How to input that?

On Wednesday, 10-27-2004, i-Solv wants our inputs and wishlists so they can documents all requirements and bound the Scope of Work.

Pie is asking for a Billing meeting so we can work out what we need to present on Wednesday. We said, FINE.

Personal notes:
FB - 5 collectors, 2 tellers

Problems:
1. Timely posting of bank payments ([almost] real-time)
2. Who will sign the Acceptance Documents? I guess one officer per module (3 modules) and the Project Manager (and the GM?)
3. How do we distribute partial payments? (Unbundling)
4. How to bill changed meters?

Topic: work
This one wouldn't connect to the network.

I cleaned it up and harvested 3 sweet potatoes (kamote).

Still it wouldn't connect.

I re-crimped the existing plugs, to no avail.

I changed the NIC-end plug, to no avail.

After 45 minutes, decided to postpone the repair work for tomorrow morning. Will test the cable on the AccThinkPad just to eliminate it from the possible problems.

Changed the vidcard, and it booted, but still wouldn't connect to the domain.

It turned out that they changed the IP address to another subnet.

Spent about 20 minutes on this.

Work done. PC Working.

The PC wouldn't boot, and I immediately diagnosed it as a video card problem, judging from the beeps.

I reseated the card and it booted, but it wouldn't connect to the network. Then after reseating the NIC, the video card died. :-(

I spent 30 minutes trying to resurrect it, but the vidcard only heats up, and the system beeps the same way as if there's no vidcard. :-(

I tried using the "flooded" vidcard remitted to me by Rico, but it displays nothing. :-(

Programming
Topic: work
Looks like I got enough to get me really going with accessing MySQL thru VFP. :-)

God help me.
