Work has started in ernest… I have started coding – the first step was to clean up some existing code before I could actually do any other work. The challenge here was to sort the code out so that I could actually do some work. There are about 4000 lines of code in the main program – well, that is on top of the automatically generated microsoft stuff, so as you can see this is becoming a fairly complex piece of code. And I am needing to extend it significantly.

I had a bug report from one of my clients this morning… Something that I had never noticed. My software displays vehicle positions in a table before uploading them to the mapping program. Now, one of my clients only wants to see vehicles that have appeared today, and I spent some time working on getting this to happen. And then assumed that because the positions were not being displayed in the table then they would not be uploaded to the map. But I forgot that I do not actually check that, but I should.

So now I need to look at that piece of the code and modify it so that only position reports that are visible on the table get uploaded. A simple fix, but one more thing to do. Right now before doing that I need to visit Jaycar to pick up some connectors and then post some parcels off… I have three to send to various clients.
