| [10:57:15] | <andygraybeal> | hey rock on, i'll bring up the inventory notes now\ |
| [11:01:53] | <andygraybeal> | i like it :) |
| [11:07:47] | <andygraybeal> | ah snmp is monitoring protocol over the network |
| [11:09:46] | <andygraybeal> | the inventory items could have attributes that describe how it is tracked like "location" or "date put into use in the field" ? |
| [12:40:59] | <mstenta> | andygraybeal: yes, inventory items (aka "Materials" - or maybe "Supplies") are a type of Farm Asset entity... so they can have location based on Movement logs |
| [12:41:18] | <mstenta> | and there will be new log types for actually using the materials... |
| [12:41:27] | <mstenta> | still thinking some of that through... |
| [12:41:30] | <andygraybeal> | cool |
| [12:42:02] | <andygraybeal> | and a way to do preventative maintenance :) |
| [12:42:08] | <andygraybeal> | with a scheduler |
| [12:42:30] | <mstenta> | yea... that would be a feature for Equipment probably... but maybe for Materials too |
| [12:42:43] | <mstenta> | i really need to draw out a diagram of the various types of things... :-) |
| [12:43:04] | <mstenta> | the two important categories of items in FarmOS are: Assets and Logs |
| [12:43:25] | <mstenta> | Equipment and Materials are examples of Assets |
| [12:43:40] | <mstenta> | Maintenance and Use are examples of Logs |
| [12:45:15] | <mstenta> | i'm trying to divide all necessary concepts into those two groups (actually, a third group is Drupal Taxonomies) |
| [12:45:29] | <mstenta> | and i'm trying to reduce them down to the least number of entity types, while still be able to represent everything |
| [12:45:36] | <mstenta> | gereralization :-) |
| [12:45:47] | <mstenta> | ... is tricky |
| [13:02:22] | <andygraybeal> | i didn't know the designation between equipment and materials |
| [13:04:11] | <andygraybeal> | would a compost pile be an asset? and when i turn it be put into the associated log? also can your atmospi thermometers give me readings for the compost pile inside the log, say every half hour? |
| [13:04:49] | <andygraybeal> | i'm trying to use your examples with my examples :) i might be messing up the terminology |
| [13:25:48] | <mstenta> | andygraybeal: yea, a Compost Pile would be a type of Asset |
| [13:26:02] | <mstenta> | and maybe "Turn" is a possible Log type that goes with that asset |
| [13:26:27] | <andygraybeal> | ah and temperature log |
| [13:26:28] | <andygraybeal> | cool |
| [13:27:09] | <mstenta> | yea probably a temperature log |
| [13:31:33] | <andygraybeal> | Do Assets have Attribute fields? Like Compost Pile could have the attributes: "windrow | static | aerated pile | in-vessel | other" and "feedstock / material used (including inoculants, rock dust, etc)" |
| [14:13:18] | <mstenta> | andygraybeal: yes, each Asset type (Animal, Equipment, Material, Compost, etc) can have fields on it, for defining characteristics of the asset |
| [14:13:27] | <mstenta> | Compost could have a "Compost Type" field |
| [14:13:31] | <andygraybeal> | awesome |
| [14:13:49] | <andygraybeal> | lemme try to load it up again |
| [14:13:54] | <andygraybeal> | i gotta try to remember this stuff your saying |
| [14:14:00] | <mstenta> | the fields on assets are more for "static" attributes... things that don't change, or aren't really related to time... Logs are for the other stuff |
| [14:14:53] | <andygraybeal> | okay i think i was thinking that way, but i cannot be sure |
| [14:15:01] | <andygraybeal> | i like it! |
| [14:15:26] | <andygraybeal> | i'm gonna give the install another shot and see if ican get this example flushed out! |
| [14:15:37] | <andygraybeal> | so i can learn this :) |
| [14:17:18] | <andygraybeal> | i can't wait to see the general ledger and farmos integrated :) |
| [14:17:29] | <andygraybeal> | and how these ideas are going to get flushed out :) |
| [14:17:37] | <andygraybeal> | i'll be your cheer leader |
| [14:17:52] | <andygraybeal> | though you don't need one :) |
| [14:53:15] | <mstenta> | haha thanks andygraybeal |
| [14:53:15] | <mstenta> | andygraybeal++ |
| [14:58:00] | <mstenta> | gotta run... babysitting a horse farm this week... need to shovel some manure ;-) |
| [14:58:15] | <mstenta> | (with a tractor, thankfully) |
| [14:58:20] | <mstenta> | talk to you later! |
