C000000: Orcmid's Lair /construction Job Jar

A running job jar of ideas and notes on the construction of Orcmid's Lair on the web.

Status	Date	Description


	2005-02-11	Put nofollow in all of the links from Include pages as a way to cut down on the internal referencing, especially to orcmid.htm: C000005c,
	2004-12-19	In BlunderDome, we are looking at using construction-structure include pages more consistently so that maintenance of level-specific up-side-links is easily maintained and allows for changes to the image and the links at a single place per level in the site structure. Follow through on that and figure out what is needed as a wider practice. When doing this, notice that an up-hill include page can be pulled down, too. That works for ones that link sideways and are to the one place that subordinate pages must come upward to as well.
done	2004-12-19	In C000003b.htm, switch from anchor-relative to pure relative linking to the construction shack and see if that works better as an anchor-independent method. Yes it does.
done	2004-12-19	In C000004b.htm, the use of a construction link off of the root (e.g., "/orcmid/construction" as a shortcut) will not work when the material happens to be anchored differently. See if this can be handled with a relative link to the construction section and if not, abandon the practice. -- Yes it can.)
	2004-08-22	The root needs a construction zone C000000 page and revision of the construction.htm page to reflect the current approach.
done	2004-08-13	Clean up the C00000iC.htm pages to provide clean indication of what is being navigated.
done	2004-07-15	Create a support section for status information and incident reports and analysis. Make minimal one where further development of support construction is handled in the construction zone there. We will use sostegno.
done	2004-06-16	Create BlunderDome as a place for screwups, tests and trial-use of various kinds and, best of all, the home of clueless. Give it a construction zone of its own.
in progress 2004-06-02	2004-06-02	Switch to the simpler title <p> element in place of the <h1> element: C000000, index.htm, construction.htm, orcmid.htm, Propogate from there to the other sections of Orcmid's Lair and ultimately all of nfoCentrale. At some point, we may meet CSS in all of this too. Maybe in nfoWare when we learn to programmatically manipulate and transform material of the blog. That would be the cool way to do it..
done	2004-06-02	Clean up C000003a, C000004a, and C00005a to remove the shadow <a>-element.
done 2004-06-16	2004-05-17	Version this page and be prepared to roll-out the old material as I manage to complete some block of it.
done 2004-07-15	2004-05-17	I have created the imprese section, but it has no content. Give it a minimal construction zone at once, and explain that I am using "imprese" for "undertakings" in the sense of projects and activities, rather than "progetti" which are more about the plans and schedules than the activities themselves, as well as I can tell. Look at 2003-05-30 in this job jar!
	2004-05-16	Add a construction zone to the Themes section, and then create a themes structure. This is probably structural rather than by accession, or is it?
	2004-03-28	Check all center title blocks and make sure the Sans Serif scheme is applied, along with preservation of the red color in links. Then apply it to the construction structure of all sections here, and any content pages. dh:2004-03-28: did default.htm, confirmed index.htm and construction.htm at root. dh:2004-08-14: orcmid.com, C000000,
done	2004-02-05	Some sort of notes section is called for here. It might be appropriate to tie to my blog, but I am not sure. For example, my self-introduction could stand to be managed as a note, with backup pages and subordinate material in the standard notes/project structure. dh:2004-02-05 I finessed the notes-section part by adding a notes-structure to erudizione. It uses `Eyymmnn` structure.
in progress 2004-05-09	2004-02-05	Scan what I have about trains, send some to Holland and Arjun, my classmate there. Then put up something about that here. Maybe it is time to make something like my Wisdom Course biography and tie into this site, my themes, and so on. [dh:2004-05-17 The viaggio section is a start on this.]
done	2004-02-05	Review the /erudizione/M.ScIT section, bring it more current, and figure out whether the projects diary is appropriate there. Also, use the erudizione construction zone for work over there, rather than expanding on it here. Yes, the projects diary for the M.ScIT is appropriate there.
	2004-02-05	Add MSC-CC to the /erudizione section.
done	2004-02-05	Put my introduction into the /erudizione/M.ScIT section so that I can refer students to it here and not have so much in the posted version for every course.
done	2004-02-05	Review the root level of the /erudizione section to deal with it being referred to.
	2004-02-05	Blog my insight about how to deal with spam, being communicated with, and so on. This is also relevant to placing my public keys where they can be found.
	2004-02-05	Scan the note card from "Sterling Templar" and send a copy to Lesley Charteris too. I think she'll get a kick out of it.
done	2004-02-05	Correct the link to Orcmid's Student ID photo on /construction/orcmid.htm
done	2004-02-05	Bring the root pages into conformance with the current style requirements. Update index.htm, construction.htm, and default.htm to be at standard and also connect to erudizione.
in progress 2004-02-05	2003-09-08	On orcmid.htm here, get rid of the duplicate horizontal rule at the bottom and add something about my OpenPGP public key and my fingerprint. I can put my fingerprint here, and also let people know about my X.509 certificate too. Also, identify the source of the photograph.
	2003-08-04	Make sure that the bottom Hard Hat image links are not to index.html. Include in a link review of the pages in sections that have been conformed to HTML 4.01 so far: /construction, /readings, and the root.
	2003-08-03	Add C000099-org.htm and begin to describe the construction organization.
	2003-08-03	Review the site and make sure there are no anchor-relative links from anything but what is identified in C000002. dh:2003-08-03: construction/ construction.htm and index.htm done.
	2003-08-03	Improve the entrance to the construction section with a better index and a default.htm, allowing for the fact that construction links of other pages and construction materials all come here. dh:2003-08-03: construction.htm and index.htm cleaned up.
done	2003-08-03	Eliminate anchor-relative links in the text of C000003c done, C000004c done, and C000005c done. Also make sure they have the proper cloaking accomodation.
done	2003-08-03	Borrow the C000002.htm from millennia-antica and use it here too.
done	2003-08-03	Clean up all links to images in the construction materials for orcmid.com: C00003a - done, C00003b done, C000004a done, C000004b done, C000005a done, C000005b done.
resolved	2003-08-03	The use of anchor-relative links from images will not work on sites that are being accessed as files and directories, rather than through a web server. I don't have a solution for that. dh:2003-08-03: I can eliminate all but those in the links attached to images, which are not adjusted by IncludePages operations. These are the only cases that we will allow, and we will confine them so they are covered in C000002.
done	2003-08-03	Correct the image location in C000003b.htm to find the image relative to the C000003b page and not anchor-relative.
done	2003-08-01	Move items specific to /reading to the construction zone there.
done 2003-08-01	2003-07-17	Put a construction zone in the readings section, so it has a job jar of its own. Then it may be desirable to have a project page if the readings-log is not enough for what I am up to.
done 2003-08-01	2003-05-30	Add construction zone to readings and carry things like remembering to refactor and reidentify the citations in softools.htm, etc.
	2003-05-30	Under NuovoDoc, look at having ce (confirmable experience), ci (conceptual integrity), pa (performance architecture), and the requirements gap (rg) as sections or topics or something. dh:2003-06-27: Also figure out where I put toolcraft and add something to that.
	2003-05-30	Identify a blog project about what it would be like to have blogging more on a P2P basis, rather than through a web service, what that might provide, and how it could tie to the Feuding Lexicographers
done 2004-06-26	2003-05-30	Add a construction zone to the blog area and look at what it takes to have that work, ~~how to link archives differently, so that they can be blocked out once not revisable, and then only maintained from centrale rather than from blogger.~~ [dh:2004-06-26 The new blogger style allows lockdown of the posts, but not the archives. Once I disintermediate my blog, I can do the rest.]
done 2004-06-16	2003-05-30	Come up with a means of managing review of all of these job jars, including job jars for private activities (which are configuration-managed and accessible on my local intranet, but not on a public centrale server). [dh:2004-06-16 Uh, duhh, use the FrontPage Task system, maybe, to remind myself where there are job jars with open items? This won't be too tough. Right click on this page, for example, and Add Task.
	2003-05-30	Add, to any site that has a construction zone, at least C000003b.htm for the zone link by any construction structure pages beneath that zone. The idea is that the construction zones are stitched together in a way that this works. This technically means there must be a C000003.htm that represents the zone structure. That is probably fair enough.
done 2004-07-15	2003-05-30	Add construction zone to /imprese, and put having a project structure in as its first project
done	2003-05-27	Add /compagno section under /centrale, expanding the construction zone top-down
done	2003-05-27	Update /centrale to have minimal construction zone
done 2003-05-28	2003-05-27	Create SoftDev / Java2 folders and construction zones, working top-down
done 2004-02-05	2003-05-27	Update the Orcmid's Lair index.htm, construction.htm, and default.htm to follow the current construction-structure templates and guidelines
in progress 2003-08-01	2003-05-27	The original anchor-site construction page was C000001, not C000002. Change it to C000002 everywhere that there is construction structure on nfoCentrale.net. C000099 is officially the -org page for the construction pages and the (mirror) site. It is all about construction. Other kinds of organization, such as project structure, other goodies, may or may not have the organization here. This can be bridged by links to related materials, and may be covered by additional construction pages to the extent that it is about site structure and where things go. dh:2003-08-01: C00002 done for millennia-antica. dh:2003-08-03: orcmid.com covered.
done	2003-05-27	Create enough minimal structure in erudizione to have its own job jar and hold public materials about the courses. We are going to install an update to eMBAnet software, so work it off the job jar over there. Note that a minimal construction structure is an index.htm page. The next level adds a job jar and a construction.htm page. That's it. Add them in sequence, index.htm first, then any additional material.
in progress	2003-05-26	Review all construction files and ensure they are all HTML 4.01 with the required structure and meta tags. C000000 OK, C000001 fixed, dh:2003-08-03 C000002, index.htm OK, construction.htm conformed, orcmid.htm conformed.
done	2003-05-26	Restore the brighter red used on other pages to orcmid.htm
	2003-05-26	Include the Niagara Falls photograph and the T-shirt photograph on orcmid.htm. [dh:2004-08-14 Tie this to an Orcmid sightings page under Viaggio too.]
	2003-05-26	Include photograph of the orcmobile beyond the license plate on orcmid.htm
done	2003-05-26	Customize orcmid.htm to use the construction material template.
done	2003-05-26	Customize index.htm to use the construction structure template.
	2003-05-26	Have construction.htm do what -org does in other structures. Note that x000002 could have been for "anchor" elsewhere. I should have done that and I didn't. It looks like the key number for "org" is x000099, or zz. I guess for consistency, zz is semi-ambiguous and we will simply resolve not to need it here. -- dh:2003-08-03: We will keep x000002 for "anchor" dependencies and use x000099-org
	2003-05-26	If the root-relative path references work, use them over in Group34 too. Cover this in C000002 as well. dh:2003-08-03: root-relative paths work, but they do not work for access by other than web servers. Consequently, root-relative should not be used for anything that FrontPage Includes will adjust correctly. The only case where root-relative may be required is for a link in an image. This is needed only to make a relative link that is independent of the location of the page doing the Include.
	2003-05-26	Add a C000002 on anchor-site dependencies.
	2003-05-26	C000003c is designed to be anchor relative. This needs to be confirmed as working and also verified with all of the Orcmid's Lair mirrors.
	2003-05-26	There is a comment in the Rotor book about JScript that has me wonder if JScript objects can be tainted by operations to which they are passed as parameters. I need to check that out, as well as other questions about how JScript interacts with interfaces and can deliver dynamically bound objects having multiple methods. dh:2003-07-17 Yes they can. It is part of the definition of ECMAScript that the members of an object are basically a dictionary and it can be altered by anyone, replacing existing members and adding new ones. This does not provide what I want to see in terms of object privacy and security and contracted interfaces. It remains to be seen whether this is also true even for objects obtained via their COM interfaces using JScript.
	2003-05-25	VSS and IIS and FrontPage are at the heart of site development here. Reflect that in the SoftDev, WebDev, Centrale, and construction sections with some appropriate division and hyperlinking among topics.
done 2003-05-28	2003-05-25	Where will I put Java2 development, certification, and practice? Are softdev and webdev their own sections or what? Let's go with softdev and have Java2 underneath it?
done 2003-05-27	2003-05-25	Add a minimal construction zone to the erudizione section
done 2003-05-26	2003-05-23	Customize the Construction Structure of /construction
done 2003-05-26	2003-05-23	Customize the Ordinary Page Template for Orcmid's Lair.
done 2003-05-26	2003-05-23	Customize the Construction Structure Template for Orcmid's Lair.
done 2003-12-14	2003-05-23	Find out what the default page search order is for this site on nfocentrale.net
done	2003-05-23	Customize the Construction Material Template for Orcmid's Lair
done	2003-05-23	Provide initial construction job jar (this page)
done	2003-05-23	Create imprese folder for materials on projects and enterprise related to Orcmid's Lair
done	2003-05-23	Create erudizione folder for materials on education and scholarship
done	2003-05-23	Clone the Group34 construction materials to orcmid for customization here
