Its no big deal...
Telling a short story has a greater impact that just parroting the facts.
I need to have one of these on my new pad. I have a giant whiteboard already tho.
Still something about having a giant wall. The only thing cooler if it was scrollable, like butcher paper, so I have infinite space...or maybe more high tech and like a touch screen device. I probably could only afford the low-tech butcher paper type tho...
I often want to manipulate or enhance a page I am looking at on the web browser. To make it easier I created a couple bookmarklets that add YUI 2.0 and Prototype 1.6 to the DOM. I'm posting them below for future reference, normally you could drag them to your toolbar but this blog platform doesn't allow bookmarklets.
Add YUI 2.8
Add Prototype
I had to help a friend not to long ago implement an embedded database interface. He works on a WindowsCE application an the licensing fees on the proprietary embedded db he was using was killing him. After evaluating several alternatives we settles on SQLite. I was surprised at how relatively easy it has been to implement, I have not worked with C/C++ since school years ago but everything came thru quite well. The most trouble I had was walking through all the framework boilerplate COM stuff for WinCE, very verbose.
I recently had to port the db interface to OSX and again it was straightforward. Its a credit to the developers/maintainers of SQLite. Here are two snippets that gave me some trouble to sort out since I was unable to find working examples. The devices my friend works with have maybe 16MB memory tops but needs to handle file BLOBs that can be much larger than that. All examples I found had to do with loading the entire BLOB into memory but I needed chunking. Import a BLOB
Export a BLOB
