Today I got the calendar implemented in the dbixdemo page. It didn't take very much tweaking, but there was just one simple error that had me stuck for hours. Turned out the form I was trying to access had gotten pasted inside another form, so my code didn't see it where it was looking. And I never could get the Firefox DOM inspector working here on Linux. I think I'd have to reinstall Firefox and enable a certain option on the installation, something I really don't know how to do. For all I've learned about Linux, I still shy away from installations unless they're on the portage tree.

One great breakthough today, though - I found out that scp goes both ways, not just one way as I had thought. This means I can copy files between my computer and the server as I please! Also, Andy found something that lets you mount a remote directory on your machine so you can treat it like a local folder. I may try that - it would allow me to use gvim on these files and open separate windows instead of trying to memorize which "screen" session each file is open in.

Anyhow, when I say the calendar is implemented, I mean it's in the page and it plays nicely with the page. The page doesn't actually do anything with the data the user enters via the calendar. I'm working on that next. I decided to try to get this version working before I try to create another version.

For tomorrow:

  • Add jul12 to the list of documents to keep in sync with - another scratchpad :)
