Not only are there new calendar controls...
But now YOU get to play with them.
The new version of Quicksilver is on the staging node, Read about it and find the link to the app by scrolling through the QuickSilver Service Registry Entry in the PHGrid Wiki.
The service should no longer crash on the Java end... and if it does, I would very much appreciate a quick note about what you were doing to crash it. Otherwise, I suggest poking the service with something not Internet Explorer because Internet Explorer is still a bit testy about the large amounts of javascript processing and might throw an intermittent "Operation aborted" error.
Next week will be working on password-protection capabilities and cool new graphing software. I will also be trying to squish the IE bug and reduce load times. I am looking forward to it!
Cheers!

We have calendar controls, we have clinical effects.
Tomorrow, Should everything go well, a much more functional version of Quicksilver should be deployed.
It will be able to select for dates and clinical effects, will display all the states from the national level, and will be able to zoom in on states (which will show a collection of zip3s) and on zip3s (which will show a collection of zip5s) and on zip5s.
There will be Google charts for all the regions that have a color (which means they have more than one instance) and I have not been able to get a nasty error thrown after doing a lot of odd and strange tests.
Next week will be the adding of cooler charts (with scroll and zoom and hopefully much more nifty statistical significance) and some security layer stuff so that it will be easier to password protect access to the page.
Cheers!

Grid Node Updates
In troubleshooting Felicia's issue, I noticed some links in the /etc/grid-security directory on Felicia's development node were pointing to missing files. That may have been the cause of the build errors. The links in question were:
/etc/grid-security/globus-host-ssl.conf
/etc/grid-security/globus-user-ssl.conf
/etc/grid-security/grid-security.conf
I copied the files back to the correct locations. I also corrected the permissions on the /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile.
On The Staging Node:
I removed the last of the Health Grid certificates from the staging node and updated them with PHGrid host certificates. Peter verified OGSADAI was functional with the new certificates.
On the Windows node:
I installed the NCPHI/AMDSRODS service and verified it was running by listing the WSRF services remotely via port 8443. The available services listed under Windows NCPHI/AMDSRODS are:
amdsMetaDataQuery
amdsFullQuery
amdsTimeQuery
amdsSpatialQuery
amdsTimeSpatialQuery
getMultipleResourceProperties
getResourceProperty
queryResourceProperties
getServiceSecurityMetadata
I am also in the process of working on Felicia's Windows development node. That should be ready for her in the morning.
/etc/grid-security/globus-host-ssl.conf
/etc/grid-security/globus-user-ssl.conf
/etc/grid-security/grid-security.conf

This morning, I have discovered a visual thinker in Germany: Moritz Stefaner.
His material is really too incredible for words.

SSTS on Windows
Multiple Windows absolute and relative path names were added to the SSTS jndi-config.xml file, but the service continues to return the following error:
An error has occurred, error message = java.io.EOFException
This leads me to believe the service code needs to be modified in order to support Windows nodes.

We now have zip5s. Next stop, Dates and Clinical Effects
Today I managed to get zip5s working on the demo node. I ran some pretty thorough tests and I don't think there are any bugs (which is sort of scary, I am sure I will find some tomorrow).
Tomorrow, I am going to pull over code for date selection and clinical effect selection from the old poicondai screen, make sure the values are going into the right places, and probably improve the clinical effect selector to allow for multiple selections (and maybe even use something from jQuery to allow for searching the set of possible clinical effects).
Friday, it should be posted to the web and able for people to play-with.. and I'll start drafting all the changes for making Gmaps-polygon and Quicksilver that much cooler, namely by adding more security and niftier graphs. All while testing Windows and SQL-Server compatibility.
Speaking of cool new graphs... check out some of the blog entries on the various statistical engines and AJAX visualization possibilities. I am probably going to pick one of the more AJAX (as opposed to flash or java-applet) friendly ones and tinker with it on Friday after the deploy. I would be looking at them more but I have been busy with just getting zip3's and zip5's to work without throwing big nasty errors. Many thanks to Brian Lee and William Duck for helping me look into the statistics engine pieces (and discussing the various benefits and drawbacks of each over email).
Also, a big thanks goes out to Dale, our grid-vmware-engineer as it were. He has been a real help and very considerate of our issues with the lab/demo environment, usually fixing problems within a day and working with us on planned outages and upgrades to minimize downtime and the need to restart things. He has been doing it for many, many months and I just realized I hadn't said anything about how hard he works to make sure we're good in terms of networks and Virtual Machines.
