BCMS
Mood:  chatty
Topic: i-Solv Project
Alemon and Sir Jing came and observed the tellers after doing some updates in the source code with me and rico observing and answering queries and offering suggestions here and there.

I left them at around 2pm when JTL asked me to join them in the board room for his review of the Board Meeting reports for Wednesday.

Inventory
Topic: work
Installed wmicore and scr56en, along with myodbc 2.5 on CFC's PC, and ran the audit25 script.

Working product
Topic: i-Solv Project
Sir Jing and Alemon finally were able to present a working .EXE to JTL and AGD.

They didn't go in too deep, which was a good thing, 'coz when I asked them to go into one of the modules deeper, a run-time error occurred. :-(

As usual, (P) didn't forget to inject some "baka magkaproblema tayo diyan, kasi... ganito, ganyan, ... (and finally pauses after 3 years of explaining)..." which could've been explained faster using another approach. Even if the audience was technically-challenged, sometimes she just goes too layman-ish for her own good.

The sad thing is, this simplify-everything style of hers seeps into her programming. I remember all too well that "convert a single letter into the corresponding ordinal number in the alphabet" algorithm she used... Her 54-line code could be converted into a 1-liner by yours truly. I would've offered it to her if I didn't know better to be interpreted as usual as "nagmamagaling."

Rico replied "yes" when AGD asked him if i-Solv was at least 70% into the software development. I myself confirmed that it could be estimated to be more or less 70%.

Inventory
Topic: work
These past few weeks, I've tried using two hardware inventory systems from sourceforge.

The automated scripts used by winventory proved to be much more convenient for me, although I think I'd modify the system (or ask the author/s to modify it) to include serial numbers (manually entered) for all hardware.

I'll be going to our PC's one by one in the coming days so that I can finalize my inventory. :-)

1. Ely Lopez
2. John Andrade
3. Rocky
4. Rico
5. Gina
6. Amy

Teller interview
Topic: i-Solv Project
Sir Jing Agito came and interviewed the tellers on their tasks. Assisted him for about an hour or so.

Data Migration
Topic: i-Solv Project
After several futile tries on our workstations, I finally copied the backup files to the server so I could locally restore them using the LOAD DATA INFILE command.

I created the script file in the morning, tested it, and let it run after office hours.

Data migration
Topic: i-Solv Project
Since the server-to-server transfer failed last night, we tried to restore it using the bcms.exe provided.
It was restoring TOO FAST.

It looks like the data really needs to be restored locally on the server. :-(

So I left my notebook running the server-to-server transfer again in the evening, but it still would choke on the large tables.

Rico's PC itself would run out of memory when we tried it yesterday.
