Revision as of 12:10, 22 February 2013

This is my page with a list of projects I'm currently working on, just so that I can remember what I'm supposed to be doing.

EPOS

Website

  • Sessions
    • Expire sessions with browser
    • Current behaviour only for remember me
    • Identified fix, just need to implement
  • Auth
    • Privilages expire when membership does
    • Fix in working copy, need to test & commit
  • Pet interestes, not serious developments
    • Alternative style sheets so people can go full screen width if they want
    • Custom menu so people can have most commonly used menu items together
    • Image functions to change foreground colour, allowing web titles to be used for tickets.

Media Server

  • Gstreamer
    • Application currently does smooth fading slides
  • CanBus Interface
    • Tim has written an application for listening for inputs
    • Buttons and CanBus cards need to be ordered by Tom - continue nagging
  • Alternative Interfaces
    • Webpage
    • VNC
    • Use keyboard buttons until buttons on wall get sorted

Current plan of action:
1. Upgrade to latest version of flash decoder
2. Add audio support
3. Implement Tim's code for checking for inputs (hopefully Tim will find time to do this)
4. Work on interfaces

Servers

  • Move NIS to dean
    • Can then decommission strong
    • Use mysql data for NIS
    • A better option would be to implement mysql system on all servers, as it is on Universal
  • Examine moving deluxe's services to paramount
  • Install ntpdate so that it time is updated on reboot to stop ntp from failing to start - done on most servers
  • Use domain controller for windows access to network resources

Server Configuration

  • A copy of configuration files for all servers is maintained in CVS.
  • Scripts are run in working copy to generate dynamic files in working copy.
  • Rsync is used to keep servers up to date with working copy (Like website).

Current plan of action:
1. Create cvs module
2. Create working copy
3. Run scripts on working copy
4. Test on Universal
5. Set up rsync on all servers
6. Populate with other customised configuration files

At the same time:
1. Create cvs module for auth website
2. Make auth.filmsoc https only
3. Work on pages for changing password
4. Work on pages for other tasks
5. Create API for performing tasks like login and change password

Version Control System
