Eleos and El Paso

Today started out normal enough, I started working on the settlement PDF issue. I was making some headway with it... Then Gayle had to pin me down on how long it will take me to have Tandem Workflow ready to go live for a customer. This makes me cringe because I am absolutely horrible at time estimates and Gayle does not except "I don't know" or anything greater than 2 weeks. So I said "One Week". She was happy with that but I know I have no idea of what I just got myself into. The customer is El Paso Freight. They have a GeoTab contract with T-Mobile which is incompatible with Tandem Workflow, besides, T-Mobile's coverage is spotty at best in the Texas area that El Paso operates. They also have a Rand McNally account which does Hours of Service but is not plug-in-play with Tandem Workflow. Jerry said something about getting Rand's HOS into Tandem Workflow. I'm sure that will take a week by itself. One of the things that needs to be com...

GeoTab done... maybe

I finally finished The GeoTab HOS and breadcrumbs integration. Now I'm working on bugs in reopened tickets. First is a payroll export bug. Personal and vacation pay is being duplicated in both columns. It seems the customer actually had asked for this. Not realizing that they can't use the same accounting code for both vacation pay and personal days off unless they want a combined total. Waiting on a call back from them.

Drawing circles on maps

I translated GeoTab's JS calc circle example into ColdFusion. We start with the lat and lng of an address. Then we take 1 degree steps around the circle. We could take 15 degree steps by changing the i++ to i = i + 15. Whatever number we use should go into 360 evenly to make it a closed circle. Otherwise, we'd need to do some fancy-schmancy calculating to close the circle. function generateCircleZonePoints(lat, lng, radius) { var earthRadius = 6371000 ; var latitude = lat * ( pi()/ 180 ); // in radians var longitude = lng * ( pi()/ 180 ); var angularDistance = radius / earthRadius; // radius is the radius of the circle we are drawing in meters local .zonePoints = []; Math = createObject( "java" , "java.lang.Math" ); // usage: Math.atan2(javacast("double",firstArg),javacast("double",secondArg)); for ( var i = 0 ; i <= 360 ; i++) { var radians = i * ( pi()/ 180 ); var latitudeRadians = asin...
