Up to my elbows ...

Up to my elbows in string splitting and bin > hex > bin conversion code but have to go soon, real life calls :)

Picking up steam ...

Picking up steam, the schedule timeline now shows the time for each segment as you hover over it, the "all", "invert", "none", "copy", "paste" buttons now work ... overall its coming along quite nicely.


Oh plus the code has been tided up, next is to link this GUI to the "www_rc" file, most of this has already been done so it should not be to hard :)

After a few more hours arm wrestling - I have something presentable :)

Now it looks OK but the code is rough and the buttons don't do anything yet ... LOL, can't expect miracles.

Web interfaces will give me a nervous breakdown !!

So spent a couple of hours wrestling with HTML & CSS. I know what I want it to look like, a nice auto expanding colour block to the right of the buttons saying "Active" or "Inactive" to show the schedule status, can I get it to auto expand ... nope ... tried IRC HTML, they booted me to IRC CSS and no joy there either. This is a pain. Web interfaces will give me a nervous breakdown !!

I am now trying to figure out a logical interface for the schedule GUI,

So organising our trip to Australia, trying to get the house decorated and dealing with extra work commitments is having a slight toll on my coding time. But I am now trying to figure out a logical interface for the schedule GUI,


I think I am on the right track, I am thinking 8 x schedules, each with 8 x schedule date exceptions. In commercial software I often find schedule GUI's confusing, so I am going to try hard to keep this one intuitive.

YAY, and I survived ...

Nights is over ... YAY, and I survived ... YAY. Body clock a little off but heading the right way. Planing to do some more coding on Sunday but first I have to do the unthinkable, go clothes shopping for our holiday, its a dark dark duty and something ever man dreads ...
