That popping is my paradigms shifting without a clutch.

So, for the past couple of days I have been cleaning up the rodsadai projects in anticipation of giving rodsadai polygons.

Then, we all got together and decided that the next step should actually be a generalized set of code that can return polygons given some sort collection of spatial and time series.

This lead to more discussion about how such a suite of code would behave, what pieces should go where, and a lot of "oh dear, I don't know how google maps would be able to tell the page outside of google maps what google maps is doing." The standard batch of logistics, heuristics, and metaphysics that goes into any good refactor.

Thus, all my paradigms have shifted... and I am very appreciative that Felicia will be here to help me with some of the AJAX/JavaScript and Struts/Spring stuff that I am not too familiar with.

Thus, look forward to lots of little posts like "I got the page to reload without reloading when you zoom to a certain level in google maps!" and other such stuff.

I think I'll call this latest suite of code daigon.

Prepping for new rodsadai

So, today I spent some time prepping for the poicondai loader load of a lot of zip code polygons into a database.

But a lions share of the day was spent setting up the shiny new secure tomcat installation on the staging node. Also known as "boy, I love being able to configure different ports!"

So, the window for taking down the node and updating RODSAdai to call secure tomcat is tomorrow... but that didn't stop us from making sure we couldn't set up secure globus and make some ogsadai calls to it. That took a little bit of time mainly because the tarball I set up apparently broke or was not happy in it's new environment, so we had to build a new one from scratch.

Many thanks to Felicia and Dan for pretty much doing most of the footwork before me so all I had to do was go "get this, put that there, lemme check... yay!" Dan was awesome with the configuration and Felicia knew most of this stuff from having to deal with it before a couple of times.

Tomorrow is loading polygons, updating build styles, and starting the poicondai-web modifications.

Upcoming Demos

There are a few demos scheduled for PHGrid:
Today, we'll be showing off PH-DGInet and the Poison Control WS demo application to Dr. Alvin Bronstein.
Next week (Tuesday, Nov 11) Drs Lenert and Savel will present PHGrid at the AMIA Conference.
Dr. Savel might present RODSA-DAI (as a potential NHIN Domain Service) at the NHIN Public Forum on Dec 15/16.
