Rationale for this Project


Summary of Progress during July - September 2024
  1. I spent 100.25 hours in 24Q3 on this Project, or related work (338.75 hours YTD, where for "YTD" - Year to Date - I mean the (academic) year that commenced in October 2023). That's 109.9% of the planned effort (83.8% YTD). Overall, 14.9% of my Project effort in the Quarter was directed towards this project (making 11.5% YTD) - as against 13.5% planned (13.5% YTD).
  2. As can be seen, I spent about 10% more than my time allocation on this project last Quarter, though fell somewhat short YTD.
  3. Time was spent in two main areas: Bridge and Documentation.
    1. Bridge: The developments on my Bridge database were unplanned and arose on account of a bug introduced into MS Access that means that the garbage collector no longer works. Temporary datasets are left hanging, even if set to Nothing, and the Access database soon runs out available recordsets. This affected both my ‘Small Sites’ and my own Bridge statistics. I put in temporary fixes that mean the symptoms – ‘cannot open any more databases’, hanging processes and inability to compact / repair – no longer occur. I’ve raised CRs for permanent fixes.
    2. Documentation: I made considerable progress on documenting Timelines13 & Backups14, but didn’t complete either. The bulk of the time on backups was taken up with documenting what is backed up – with the intention of sorting out the mess in due course.
  4. Completed items included:-
    1. Own Website:
      • Bridge
        1. Small Systems: Make code changes to work around the ‘Cannot open any more databases: Run-time error 3048’ bug.
