2014-02-17

2014-02-14

 * Yesterday
 * Weekly team meeting
 * Set up the "Points" custom field in phabricator
 * Made good progress on #146 (blurry thumbnail placeholder). I now have the blurry thumbnail appearing and animating into focus on browsers that can do so. Left to do: progress bar and tests.
 * Addressed concerns on #207 (data URIs)
 * Wrote #211 (detailed network performance on all API calls)


 * Today
 * Review everything in the queue

2014-02-13

 * Yesterday
 * Reviewed and accepted remaining changesets on #155 (preload next and prev image)
 * Fixed the double image loading issue #207, pending review
 * Fixed the mmv.performance missing dependency, pending review
 * Started working on #146 (show blurred thumbnail + progress bar while loading)
 * Spoke to Evan Priestley from Phabricator about replacing Mingle with Phabricator, he pointed me to their beta board page. It seems like the only missing element is the ability to sum story points, which I've filed. We'll probably need to implement it ourselves (shouldn't be hard).


 * Today
 * Weekly team meeting
 * Review everything in the queue
 * Finish #146

2014-02-11

 * Yesterday
 * Attended the design meeting
 * Reviewed 3 changesets for #155 (preload before/after). 1 approved, 2 still have small issues
 * Reviewed this RfC and commented on it, providing alternative ideas
 * Implemented #176 (getting rid of lightboxHooks)

2014-02-10

 * Yesterday
 * Approved and tested #196 (bucketing refactor)
 * Approved and tested #187 (button UI code refactor) and fixed a few merging issues (icons visually gone)
 * Tested #186 (panel UI code refactor)
 * Tested #183 (refactored API calls)
 * Spent a while figuring out how I can grep live EventLogging data, because I couldn't compile Ori's zpubsub. After attempting to install alternatives in several languages unsuccessfully, ended up with a Go port of zmqc, used like this.
 * Realized that the sampling factor wasn't part of the labs/live config, so there's no data collected yet, sent the appropriate diff to ops, moved the card (#126) to blocked
 * Reviewed the UI WIP cards sent by Fabrice
 * Reviewed and left concerns on #155 (preload before/after), re-iterated request to add test coverage to a specific function + minor concern about gender validation
