This is the last diary entry here - from now on I'll be blogging on my website

It's late, but a new version of Nags is on-line. By Ken's^H^H^Hpopular demand, it now sports filtering on columns where it makes sense.

Nags should now be usable - modulo some testing - by the board and teams, so I hope that we can go into dogfood mode. Especially because I'm hoping to encounter database performance issues. I opted for the simplest solutions in the storage schema, sometimes downright stupid, and I am wondering how long Magma will take before protesting and how well schema migration stuff will be 'frameworkeable' so later projects based on Kilauea (the new name for Smam - thanks Chris!) will have some support in this area.

Feedback is welcome, especially in the form of Nags todos :)

And another Nags release. Some big advances in usability - showing closed issues, searching through todo and comment text, cleaner layout of the details screen, indication of sorting, batched list for when the database gets even larger. Also, todo's now keep history so you can see when they were closed and/or reopened (and by whom).

As a side-effect, I created a package 'Tric-Seaside Components'. Doesn't have a lot yet, I put a subclass of WATableReport in there that controls a batcher. Seems a common case to me. More may follow. And the Smam version in there has code generation, starting a new project is now a matter of seconds.

Wow. That was a busy week. On Monday, we released Kolibri 1.0 - sorry, still no decent English version. During the week, Stephane and I worked hard to get a lot of hard updates applied to 3.9a, but with the result that there's now something that works with ToolBuilder, contains Andreas' PlusTools, so the big cleanup can begin :).

I programmed in VAST for the last three days - an existing system needs a web front-end, and all there is is WebConnect. On the face of it, it looks all nice and visual with the Composition Editor, but tonight coming back to Seaside and doing some work on Nags was really relaxation. Boy oh boy what a difference... And what a pity that VAST doesn't support continuations.

Ok, another little project based on Mantis - Anvil (see my private MC repository for code). It logs all class and method changes in a Magma database. The final result should be a sort of simple versioning system, hopefully compatible with Monticello, where all your images (and possibly others' images) log every change in a central database - no more losing change files :-).

If you've ever worked with Envy, you'll find that I'm hardly doing anything original here...

Hard problems to tackle: identify what open version a given image is working with...
