Items Completed by Category:
  1. Own Website: Completed Items By Category:-
    • Abstracts
      1. 20Q1: As revealed by Spider: Link to PaperCitings failing (2 items) - Timing issue
      2. 15Q4: Corrected data format on Identity Abstracts
      3. 07Q2: Added "Extra Data" parallel to Abstracts; ie. "More …" (Location etc.)

        2. Only have an author-citation link on Authors pages if the author is cited!
        3. Import Authors from Aeon_Files table.
      4. 19Q3: As revealed by Spider: Author pages not regenerated when name corrected, leading to Sundry broken Links from other pages.
      5. 19Q2: Added Jump Table to sections of Authors Pages
      6. 18Q3: As revealed by Spider: 'Extra' Links to Notes from Citations List have the wrong directory (clumped in 1,000's like Papers rather than 100's). 7 items. Problem with AddCitations_List, so not just an issue for Authors.
      7. 18Q3: Authors Narrative: enable footnotes.

      2. 14Q2: Used a clone of my Spider routines to create a backup and restore system.
    • Books
      1. 18Q3: As revealed by Spider: BookCitings. 405 items. Fixed problem with CreateBookCitingsWebPages not checking for change of Book during 'Repeats' processing.

      2. 19Q1: Removed Blackberry processing and associated pages as no longer needed with fast broadband.
      3. 18Q3: Paper & Book Abstracts - Make 'Disclaimer' more prominent & show 'Paper Statistics' rather than 'Paper Summaries'

      16. 09Q3: Made a lot of changes to the way Books and Papers are categorised; in particular:-
        1. Added 2-level jump tables, to save the browser being crowded with hundreds of cross-categorisations in the same page.
        2. While it’s OK for Books, it seems to have a few potholes for Papers, as some of the links fail.
        3. The problem may be something to do with my economical way of suppressing redundant sub-categorisation - ie. where one or more of Subject, Topic and Sub-topic are the same.
      17. 09Q2: Added "quality marker" to Paper & Book Abstracts
      18. 09Q2: De-duplicated Books / Papers to Notes links

      13. 13Q2: Wrote the Code Documenter.
    • Footnotes
      1. 18Q3: Enabled the re-use of Footnotes in the same Note63=24. They appeared multiple times, now just once. Fixed for:-
        1. Notes (OutputNotesWebPage)
        2. Printable Notes (NoteForPrinting), and
        3. Archived Notes (OutputNotesWebPage_Archived)
        All of which use Notes_Text_Format and the Note_Footnotes table. Also,
        1. Book & Paper Abstracts & Comments used to use an array in Reference_Footnotes, but changed to use a new table64=25 Abstract_Footnotes.
      2. 10Q2: Added intra-Note footnotes – a real breakthrough (strange I’d not thought of this before). It will enable me to convert to Note form all the old .pdfs from my undergraduate days – which are replete with footnotes – if this is any use.
      3. 07Q3: Improved transparency of Footnote referencing in printed Notes
      4. 07Q2: Created auto-backup of Footnotes65=53, and more efficient maintenance web-routines
      5. 07Q2: Created auto-renumbering66=53 routine for Footnotes

        2. Tidied up Site - deleted non-updated pages (especially old Printed Notes). Automatically on the local site, manually - using the audit log - on the live site.
        3. Investigated setting up an FTP link as a drive so I could automatically delete from the live site, but couldn't get it to work. Easy to set up as a drive, but not to assign a drive-letter so the drive can be used by VBA.
      3. 12Q3: Improved Titles for Search Results display optimisation
      4. 07Q2: Improved "Disclaimer68=55" Page. Reduce font, add ref to philosophy databases + hyperlinks

      7. 18Q4: As revealed by Spider: Consciousness Status Report70 Achived Notes - links to BookCatalogCategorised_16_115_471.htm failing. Live Note OK. 46 items. 24 items outstanding.
      8. 18Q4: As revealed by Spider: Links from Blog in Level 1 or 2 Printed Notes 51271 and 98172 failing. 141 items.
      9. 18Q4: As revealed by Spider: Links to sundry 'static' pages failing.
        1. 13 items fixed.
        2. 7 items outstanding: to do with Pete's PhD Test site. Links seem to be OK, so may be a problem with the Spider. Directory "Petes_PhD" was the only one set to "do not parse". The file wasn't in the site map. Reset; hopefully it'll work!
      10. 18Q4: As revealed by Spider: Status Reports - Achived Notes - sundry links failing. 50 items in total. Live Notes fixed.
        1. Website: Maintenance Dashboard73. 14 items.

        6. Etc. 3 items.
      11. 18Q4: As revealed by Spider: Sundry links failed for Supervisions. 30 items.
      12. 18Q4: Create Priority Task List Report78.
      13. 18Q3: As revealed by Spider: Bridge Status Report79 Achived Notes - sundry links failing. Live Note OK. 70 items.
      14. 18Q3: As revealed by Spider: Languages Status Report80 Achived Notes - links to Dissertation failing. Live Note OK. 43 items.

      16. 18Q3: As revealed by Spider: Links to Notes_xxx_Links, from Abstracts (94 items), Notes (25 … corrected manually), NotesPrint (1916). Fixed by +LL+ functor implementation.
      17. 18Q3: As revealed by Spider: Notes_List_Control links fail for Supervisions. 58 items.
      18. 18Q3: Automatic Key-word Hyperlinking to Notes Project: Phase 2

      20. 18Q3: Created auto-regen of all Note Link (Note_nnn_Link) Pages
      21. 18Q3: Created new '+LL+' Functor for links to Note_Link pages; fixed associated Notes.
      22. 18Q2: Added a process to 'fix' - by adding the Note-ID - those note-links added without stating the ID. This will save processing time.
      23. 18Q2: Created automatic key-word referencing (ie. to Notes in the Notes-Group "Personal Identity"). This was complicated for a number of reasons:-
        1. There are always false positives, so there needed to be a way of "proofing" what's to be done before doing anything.
        2. There will be times where it is inappropriate (eg. in quoted work by other authors). So, there had to be a way of permanently suppressing such links.
        3. The referencing differs depending on whether the term is in a Footnote or not.
        4. I needed to check for already-existing links, variant grammatical forms, etc.
        5. I created a MsgBox routine - providing context - so that what needed to be done with potential links could easily be decided when the linking process was (re-)run.
        6. Links are always to Notes, but are from Notes, Archived Notes, Authors and Book & Paper Abstracts & Comments.
      24. 18Q1: Automated format-change of old tables in Notes and Notes_Archive
      25. 18Q1: Extended deduction of Note links to Papers, and Papers with embedded Notes.

        3. 02: Development Log report - Completed Items by Date84
        4. 03: Development Log report - Outstanding Items by Priority85
        5. 04: Development Log report - Outstanding Items by Category86
        6. 05: Development Log report - Completed Items by Category87
        7. 06: Quarterly Report: Priority 1 Outstanding Developments by Category88
      27. 18Q1: Removed old "Printable Notes" links from Archived Notes
      28. 17Q4: Added %age complete to Notes Reading Lists
      29. 17Q4: Enabled deduction of Note link by omitting the Note ID from the mark-up and doing a look up on the key-word and its varients.
      30. 17Q3: Added Colour-coded "quality markers" to Notes: included them in lists and jump-tables
      31. 16Q1: Allowed Note- & Footnote-links from multiple words89=41. This is such a useful feature!
      32. 16Q1: Completed converting “static” pages to Notes.
      33. 16Q1: Enabled direct links to Notes from within Footnotes.
      34. 16Q1: Stopped (I hope!) “private” Notes showing in Paper Abstracts.
      35. 15Q4: Converted the “static” pages in my website to Note format (so they can change and retain history).
      36. 15Q4: Fixed problem of images not appearing in "Printed" Notes (wrong directory level) unless the images are repeated
      37. 15Q3: Tidied up the archived Notes.
      38. 14Q4: Made improvements to the regeneration and referencing of archived Notes.
      39. 14Q3: Created a progress-tracker90 for my Thesis.
      40. 14Q3: Improved error-recovery where encoding fails for Notes links.
      41. 14Q3: Started to split Paper Abstracts from Write-ups.
      42. 14Q2: Wrote routines to import old (but missing) archived Notes into the database so they can be (and have been) re-exported in the current format.
      43. 14Q1: Made a lot of improvements to my Site generators, in particular the pesky bug that stopped the links to archived Notes working correctly.
      44. 13Q3: "Single Image" development for Notes
      45. 13Q3: Allowed "Authors Works Lists" to be linked-to from Notes
      46. 13Q3: Created Archived Notes Re-Export facility
      47. 13Q3: Simplified / Re-engineered Notes processing
      48. 13Q2: Improved "Concatenated Notes" production
      49. 10Q3: Add “Date Created” to Note_Links (for audit purposes; I’m still not convinced that links disappear when they should).
      50. 10Q3: Investigate Note_Links: needs versioning, and section of calling Note
      51. 10Q3: Wrote routines to automatically generate the “Printable Notes” footer – and to create the corresponding web pages – from the control table. Very useful.
      52. 09Q4: Restricted the size of the “previous versions” tables for Notes to 12.
      53. 09Q3: Enabled automatic immediate promotion to Live Website of selected Temp Notes.
      54. 09Q3: Enabled Concatenated Notes (by Group). This is only allowed for “Identity” Notes at the moment, which is what I’d wanted it for. It allows all Notes for a Group to be printed off in Title sequence, for ease of review.
      55. 09Q3: Ensured that the Notes Reading-list is generated from all 3 sub-topics.
      56. 09Q3: Functionally enhanced the Notes-generation processing options; to make niftier production possible. In particular, where individual Notes are selected, I made the re-generation of the cross-references optional (so that if only textual variation is being iterated, the iterations are quicker).
      57. 09Q3: Improved the performance of “All Notes” regeneration. The problem was with the generation of the generic reading lists based on Note Title. These only apply to the “Identity” Notes, and it was taking a long time to determine there was no list to produce.
      58. 09Q2: Added a table of Notes history at the end of each Note (ie. not just previous version) - to save tedious chaining
      59. 09Q1: Added reading-list (of works cited) at the end of the Note, as well as in the Printed Note
      60. 09Q1: Created optional "don't print" feature for specific footnotes.
      61. 09Q1: Fixed the problem of the overpopulation of the Notes directory
      62. 09Q1: Option for Notes-Regen:
        1. Changed-only
        2. Changed, and all impacted by Change
        3. All
      63. 08Q1: Allowed regeneration of Temp Notes only
      64. 07Q4: Added referenced Books / Papers as footnote jump table to Notes
      65. 07Q4: Added referenced reading lists to printable version of Notes
      66. 07Q4: Improve "Temp" note processing. Suppress "_T" suffix (just don't copy to Transfer)
      67. 07Q4: When a Note is archived, ensured a printable note is also archived91=49 (if this Note has a print)
      68. 07Q3: Created "respondent notes" - database identifier & red indicator + text
      69. 07Q3: Created92=50 a "quick lookup" table of responses to a note and its sub-notes (recursive function on Notes_Links)
      70. 07Q3: Enabled generation of printable version of Notes
      71. 07Q3: Made Note-change-history available on-line (added status + publishable flags)
      72. 07Q2: Added "footnote" pages93=53 for Carthusians & King's
      73. 07Q2: Added "outgoing links" summary footer to Notes pages
      74. 07Q2: Allowed two sorts of Note - document-specific ("Write-up") and general
    • Papers
      1. 20Q1: Make use of Comments for large Abstracts seamless by appending Comments (if > 5k) to Abstracts.
      2. 18Q2: Papers associated with broken links:-
        1. Created an area to hold pdfs, and automated links thereto.
        2. Created a pop-up to say I'd remove such pdfs if requested by their authors.
        3. Consequently, haven't password protected the area yet.
      3. 18Q1: Correction of narratives on Note time-recording pseudo-papers
    • Photos
      1. 19Q1: Created Photo-logging usage via Images table.
      2. 19Q1: Created Timeline software
      3. 19Q1: Timeline software: Added photos of Coxes Farm
      4. 18Q3: As revealed by Spider: Fixed ImageRef to work for both embedded ('SRC') & linked images on the same page - eg. Carthusians94. 12 items.
      5. 18Q3: Fix Bug: photos in Abstracts with embedded Notes - eg. "Grossman (Lev), Kurzweil (Ray) - 2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal" - not displaying
      6. 13Q2: Reduced the size of photos (to make the pages quicker to load).
    • Process
      1. 19Q4:
        1. Full Website Regeneration failed in Notes Regen because the first Private Note (13395) couldn't be copied from the Transfer directory as the private note hadn't been created there by then.
        2. It should have been, from looking at the code.
        3. Also, the private note itself (116396) is not regenerated until later.
        4. In the start-December 2019 run, no such problem occurred. Maybe the problem was caused by copied between laptops. So, I've flagged it as complete for now, pending a recurrence.
      2. 19Q4: Fix Functors to enable previous quarter's Status Reports after Time period roll-over
      3. 18Q4: Added 'time to regenerate' sub-totals & grand-totals to Website Maintenance Dashboard97.
      4. 18Q2: Re-engineered Website Maintenance Dashboard98 to show extra topical links (and show them at the top of the page).
      5. 18Q1: Improved efficiency of daily changes regeneration (removed msgboxes)
      6. 18Q1: Wrote a routine to update a set of .htm files, replacing text in them all
      7. 15Q4: Created a consolidated processor to enable overnight regeneration of the whole website.
      8. 14Q1: Created a “Website Regeneration Dashboard” to show when the various elements of my website have been refreshed, and how long the routines took to run. Links to this appear in the footer to each webpage.
      9. 14Q1: Improved the regeneration routines for the various classes of webpage, and got them to record statistics in support of the “Website Regeneration Dashboard”.
      10. 09Q4: Set up my database system to roll forward to the next academic year, and generate web-pages appropriately.
      11. 09Q3: Created a “performance stats” database and routines to write to it – though I only implemented them for the Notes generator.
      12. 07Q2: Improved ease of FTP process by use of Transfer Directory
    • Search
      1. 17Q2: Wrote routines to create a cut-down Website excluding pages with irrelevant or duplicated information. Used this to create the ZoomSearch facility.
      2. 07Q4: Created search facility using ZoomSearch
    • Spider
      1. 18Q4: Determined why Full_Link_Up_Levels_Gen takes so long - approximately 4 hours. Re-architected to reduce database reads.
      2. 16Q4: Added “.shtml” and “.shtm” to the list of web-suffices.
      3. 15Q4: Finally cracked the Spider for external links, and used it to check the 3,000-odd links from my website. Some tidying up outstanding.
      4. 14Q4: Fixed the bug wherein the Spider ran out of system resources on large runs: now compacts & repairs the slave database as it does along (every 200k links; parameterised).
      5. 14Q3: Continued working on my Spider and started to use it to clean up my website by diagnosing broken links.
      6. 13Q2: De-bugged the Spider.
      7. 10Q2: Wrote my own Web Spider.
        1. It’s a little bit of a cheat, in that it doesn’t actually invoke the web-links, but crawls through my directory structure selecting all the .htm files, and rummages through the HTML looking for links which it then copies to a table.
        2. It also maintains a table of the directory structure and files therein, and then works out the real address from the relative addressing.
        3. It then allows cross-checking between the links and the files.
        4. Links external to the site have to be investigated manually (at least I have a list of all the links) – unless I can work out how to use the list to power a browser to check.
        5. There are about 333k links in 55k files – the full run took about 8 hours.
        6. It now runs incrementally based on file last-updated dates.
    • Status
      1. 19Q2: Corrected Quarterly Reporting for uneven Plan (Holidays)
      2. 18Q4: Links occasionally missing from Summary Task List99 and Summary Task List (YTD)100.
      3. 18Q3: Status: Summary - Actual versus Plan101 between quarters says "previous quarter"; should be "current quarter"
      4. 18Q2: Added extra items to Functors to facilitate Quarterly Reporting:-
        1. Automatically calculated QTD & YTD time statistics in the quarterly reports.
        2. Provided a YTD task list for Status Reports for projects "in abeyance" to make reporting easier.
        3. Modified the statistics - to be just YTD - for YTD Status reports.
        4. Created table for - by Project - "Plans for the near future" tasks, and a functor to add them to the status report.
        5. Took "items competed" and "plans for the near future from the development log for the Web-tools status report.
        6. Created another functor to add these lists to the Summary report.
      5. 18Q1: Created web-page generator for Development items (ie. Created the Web-Project "To Do" List and "Outstanding Developments" directly from this list).
      6. 13Q3: Re-engineered Monthly Reporting on Change of Year
      7. 13Q2: Improved "This Month's Summary" Reporting
      8. 13Q2: Improved Quarterly Reporting
      9. 13Q1: Re-engineered Monthly Reporting Tables & improved Monthly Reporting
    • Technology
      1. 19Q1: Investigated the Hit Stats provided by Webalizer and produced web-pages to show the most active pages.
      2. 13Q3: Converted Tables to CSS3 standard
      3. 13Q3: Used CSS in all manually-crafted and automatically-generated pages
      4. 13Q1: Standardised to HTML5102=48
    • Timesheets
      1. 17Q4: Separated Time Recording for Aeon
      2. 15Q1: Segregated time-recording so I can easily see how much time is spent developing and supporting my own website, and how much is spent on those of other organisations.
      3. 13Q3: Re-engineered Time-Recording, so that actuals are held against Papers (and Books) in a separate table, rather than as columns by year in the Papers / Books tables themselves. Retained the grand totals only.
      4. 08Q4: Updated Book totals from totals of the Papers contained therein
    • WebRefs
      1. 20Q1: As revealed by Spider: WebLinks_Tester_4.htm. Refs failing. 32 items. res://ieframe.dll/ in Returned_URL.
      2. 20Q1: As revealed by Spider: WebLinks_Tester_Brief_12.htm (etc). Refs failing. 41 items. res://ieframe.dll/ in Returned_URL.
      3. 20Q1: As revealed by Spider: WebLinks_Tester_Map_3.htm (etc). Refs failing. 51 items outstanding. res://ieframe.dll/ in Returned_URL.
      4. 20Q1: WebRefs checker failing for Aeon - if a link fails, I get the message 'The page you were looking for could not be found (404)', but since the URL doesn't change, I don't spot it. This may happen for other sites as well. Fixed for Aeon - watch out for others.
      5. 19Q3: As revealed by Spider: Hits_Pages_Total_Crosstab_Descending.htm.
      6. 18Q4: Added Display text to WebRefs for Links to Stanford, Wikipedia & Aeon
      7. 18Q2: Created Functor to add stats to Website Generator Documentation - Web Links103 page.
      8. 18Q1: Determined & reported usage directly using embedded +WnnnW+ encoding rather than via the Spider. Reconciled the two methods.
      9. 18Q1: Documentation & Bug-fixes: Phase 1
        1. Completed "as is" functional documentation so I could see what's going on.
        2. Re-engineered so it made sense and ran efficiently without bugs
        3. Fixed the obvious data errors that confused the statistics - ie. where the returned URL differs from that requested and https issues.
        4. Wrote / improved diagnostic reports (web pages)
      10. 16Q1: Some tidying up of the 3,000-odd external links from my website.
      11. 13Q2: Some pages render oddly in Chrome (and maybe other browsers) – investigated104=46.
      12. 10Q3: Improved the functionality for automatically generating external Web-links in Notes, Book Abstracts and Paper Abstracts. Corrected current data to accommodate the new code.
      13. 07Q2: Made Web Refs in Comments / Abstracts into Hyperlinks
