Trucking along

Today the table is completed and I was able to test it. But before I could test it I had to figure out why my XPA application was not working. I put a stop in the ASP code and stepped through it. It took just under an hour to finally step through all of it. It was long. I did not see why it was happening at first. Then later on I got an idea to search for the error message text.

When I found it I saw where the problem was happening. So I put a stop in there. I stepped through it and read what was going on with a watch. There was a problem with an Extended Stored procedure. I got that taken care of and then it was working. I ran a test and my new table was working. The problem I was now having is I needed to get the Fannie Mae Case File ID to get updated upon return. So I had to figure out where that was coming from. That was a long process. I had to go through a few components before I found it.

I traced it to a stored procedure. I put some code into that SP and it should save the data, but I need to test it. To test it I need to be able to see the outside world with my box. The guy who I need to do that was gone for the day. That was okay because it was about six pm. So I left to go home myself.

At lunch today I found out that Terry would be leaving the role as CTO and going to architect. He will be working from home from now on. We were going to have a pizza meeting at work to discuss that with the company. We will hire someone to replace Terry. I hope whomever we get will let me start to work from Pullman. That should be soon. *crosses fingers*.

Terry and I threw the baseball around a little bit while we were waiting for the pizza to come. I was okayed to work from Pullman all next week. I am stoked about that. I hope that I can show that I can work from home just fine and they will allow me to do so in the future.

I went home and we had pizza there for dinner. It was good. After dinner I worked on the FootballPA for a bit. I was trying to implement some of the ideas I got from the game while I was using. One is for a tab-like button to move from field to field using a key on the ten-key. That way I can do it all with one hand. I also wanted the text to be high-lighted when entering the field if there was text in it, so I would not have to delete text. Lastly, I wanted to add something that would allow the cursor to start in the field of the team that was on offense. I got the code for the highlighting online. Jon sent me the code for the tab-like workings. But I could not get them to actually work.

I wanted SouthPark before going to my room and getting ready to go to sleep. I was really tired.
