050501 - See objectives at ref SDS 12 line 30.
050502 -
050503 - Denis is working on his computer.  He will call me when he finishes
050504 - so I can log on.

0513 -
051301 - His computer did not pickup the call.  This indicates he forgot to
051302 - run rm.bat.  I called and got Jennel to go upstairs and boot up
051303 - pcanywhere.
051304 -
051305 - Denis had left the computer in Windows, so Jennel had to turn it off
051306 - and back on to clear it because she could not exit from Windows
051307 - easily.  At the c prompt, she ran rm, and this worked.

051310 -
051311 - Installed updated SDS code.  Checked it and found that the menu change
051312 - made at ref SDS 9 line 68, was not transferred for some reason.  So I
051313 - transferred the menu files separately.

0906 - Summary/Objective
0907 -
090701 - I transferred Denis' records to make sure my records are the same as
090702 - his.  I loaded the SDS records onto the d: drive and also onto I: so
090703 - I could examine them with his SI and contact records.
090704 -
090705 - Found some points that need to be discussed, which we can do in our
090706 - meeting next Wednesday, set at ref SDS 12 line 52.  Wanted to log back
090707 - onto Denis computer and make a task linked to this record, but when I
090708 - called back about 2300, his machine was evidently turned off.

0911 -
091101 - General
091102 -
091103 - Denis has more records and they are showing the structure and content
091104 - that make SDS useful.  I was pleased to hear him say this morning when
091105 - I first called that he is still entering the record from his meetings
091106 - yesterday, per ref SDS 12 line 66.  There is only one record in the
091107 - Schedule that is entered incorrectly; more expansive task descriptions
091108 - might be helpful.  Adding Contacts and linking to prior records would
091109 - help retrieve information quickly.
091110 -

091112 -
091113 - Schedule
091114 -
091115 -
091116 -     1.  There no performed tasks for today.
091117 -
091118 -         Ordinarily there would be at least one for the task of
091119 -         entering the record of prior events.
091120 -
091121 -     2.  Task descriptions are generally too cryptic, e.g.
091122 -
091123 -              BAE SSF
091124 -              CHESTER WONG
091125 -              Culinary Academy
091126 -
091127 -         It is helpful to briefly state what action is to take place.
091128 -         Denis' record of a meeting on Mar 10, with the Culinary
091129 -         Academy, ref SDS 11 line 22 says:
091130 -
091131 -            Met with Culinary Academy Re: potential interest in Pier 45
091132 -            Fisheries Center.
091133 -
091134 -         This makes a good description in the Schedule screen.  More
091135 -         expansive task descriptions enhance the ability to do keyword
091136 -         selections in the Diary.  You could get the record not only
091137 -         with the keyword "Culinary", but also "Pier 45" and "Fish".
091138 -
091139 -         Additionally, Diary reports are easier to grasp the contents
091140 -         of a record weeks, months and years hence, with more detailed
091141 -         descriptions.
091142 -
091143 -     3.  "New Task" Mar 15, 1994
091144 -
091145 -         This may have been created by mistake, and so perhaps should
091146 -         be deleted.
091147 -
091148 -     4.  "Father's visiting day" on Apr 29, 1994
091149 -
091150 -         This task description is entered in column 14, thus:
091151 -
091152 -               0900 Father's visiting day
091153 -
091154 -         ...it should be entered like this:
091155 -
091156 -               0900a  Father's visiting day
091157 -
091158 -         ...assuming the task begins at 09:00 am.  Positioning the
091159 -         cursor to begin entering the task description can be done by
091160 -         pressing F7 or Tab, after entering the time.
091161 -
091162 -
091163 -
091164 - Diary
091165 -
091166 - General observation:  The records generally do not have the contacts
091167 - nor prior related events under references.  SDS "Contact" entries only
091168 - take a second to create, and they make it very easy to find records
091169 - involving particular organizations and people using SDS contact
091170 - reports.  References to prior related events, allow citing prior
091171 - understandings and support informa- tion in the current record.
091172 -
091173 -
091174 -    Captain's Cove - 35 Wharf Circle, Mar 10, 1994
091175 -
091176 -       This record appears to be about a meeting, and so the people
091177 -       who attended could be entered under Contacts.
091178 -
091179 -       I did a Diary report with following spec:
091180 -
091181 -                 60 /Cap
091182 -
091183 -          ...this showed there is a record on Feb 14 about:
091184 -
091185 -                 Work on Captain's Cove proposal.
091186 -
091187 -          ...and so, ordinarily it should be linked to the record for
091188 -          the meeting on Mar 10.
091189 -
091190 -          Similarly, the file for the proposal that was considered in
091191 -          the task for Feb 14, could be listed as another Reference, to
091192 -          create relationships between what was discussed at the meet-
091193 -          ing, and the terms of the proposal.
091194 -
091195 -
091196 -    CHESTER WONG, Mar 10, 1994
091197 -
091198 -       This record says at ref SDS 13 line 20:
091199 -
091200 -          MEETING TO DISCUSS CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
091201 -
091202 -       Based on this and other contents the task description could
091203 -       have been:
091204 -
091205 -         Met Chester Wang with PRFC re payment; proposal on next phase.
091206 -
091207 -       The following statement at ref SDS 13 line 21.
091208 -
091209 -         Agreed on final billing amount, recieved check for final
091210 -         billing.
091211 -
091212 -       ...might have been expanded to set out some of the dialog that
091213 -       led up to the agreement.
091214 -
091215 -
091216 -    Culinary Academy
091217 -
091218 -       This record says at ref SDS 10 line 22:
091219 -
091220 -          Met with Culinary Academy Re: potential interest in Pier 45
091221 -          Fisheries Center.
091222 -
091223 -       ...again, this is a good description for the overall record.
091224 -
091225 -
091226 -       The attendees could be entered under Contacts, instead of
091227 -       listed in the body of the record, for the reasons shown above
091228 -       at line 090862.
091229 -
091230 -
091231 -       Subjec Index
091232 -
091233 -       This record is identified as:
091234 -
091235 -                      03 93034 00     Pier 45 Fisheries
091236 -
091237 -       Denis' project "Master Index" shows an earlier project:
091238 -
091239 -                      03 93022 01     Pier 45 Fisheries (see 93034)
091240 -
091241 -       This indicates that the account number has changed for the Pier
091242 -       45 Fisheries project.  The old account seems to have no detail,
091243 -       even though I created on Denis' computer at ref SDS 6 line 63.
091244 -
091245 -       Need to coordinate this with Denis, so if the acount number is
091246 -       changed, we can add it to the records for prior meetings.
091247 -
091248 -           Possibly Denis deleted the old account numbers because they
091249 -           did not comport with standard he developed for design
091250 -           projects.
