    My Boring Story

    Microsoft Office is making progress... or... is that really progress?!

    I got a great little surprised when I met face to face with Access 2007 and all the menus were gone. I wasn't warned about that one! Not only are they gone, you MUST use little tiny icons in the place of menus so it takes you an awful long time to learn the icons, but not just that, YOU have to choose which icons will appear on your toolbar.

  • I just switched my websites from one server to another and noticed that on my main company site (http://www.m2osw.com) I would get a # at the end of the URL. Automatically added somehow. Thinking that could be a bad guy I checked the code and could not really see anything.

    Hitting "Back" once, I noticed that the # would be transformed to #atssh-digg. I don't have anything specific about digg on that page except the AddThis button. That adds Digg among some 150 different systems where you can share my pages.

  • Error about a local certificate?!

    The other day, I got a new certificate from godaddy.com. I installed the certificate by replacing the files and simply restarting Apache. I then checked in Sea Monkey and it worked great. Checking the certificate it told me "valid for another 3 years."

  • Problem: Associate, easy! De-associate... but how?!

    The association of a label with another widget is easy to obtain. You want to do that especially if you want to hide the widget or apply some similar effects to it so both, the widget and its label are affected. This is especially true if you hide the widget.

  • In MS-Access, you can select a special value for your combo boxes called:

    "Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box"

    In older versions of MS-Access, all you had to do is select the option and be done with it. However, the option would have no effect if the form was not properly assigned a source query.

    In order to paliate to that problem, Microsoft decided to check the current form status and, if unlinked, hide the option altogether so you cannot make a mistake.

  • You may have noticed that whenever you create a Datasheet you can double click on the right edge to resize the column to the widest text currently defined in that column.

    This is neat but if I create a table with 10 columns, that's work. Especially if I need to reload data in that table each time I use it, 10 times an hour. (i.e. 100 x double click would definitively kill me!)

    Of course, you may not need to resize all 10 columns each time, but wouldn't it be neat to have the columns width auto-adjust with the data you put in that Datasheet table?!

  • Since I manage multiple computers and each run a PostgreSQL database system, I can see discrepancies between versions. (i.e. newer versions fix problems in older versions.)

  • 1) CVS

    1.1) Read-only CVS

    The CVS tool uses a URL to connect to a server and retrieve files. If you used the default "cvs co" as defined on a site, then it is more than likely that it will create a read-only set of folders.

    CVS creates a folder named CVS (all in caps, important under Unix!) That folder includes the necessary information for CVS to connect to the repository and read/write data. One of the files defined in this folder is called Root. This is where the URL is saved.

    The CVS URL is composed of several parts:

  • Once in a while I check how the compilers are behaving in such and such situations to make sure that when I wrote code it gets properly optimized. Today I was surprised as I tried to put a break point of a variable and it looked like the compiler wasn't using it. Indeed, the optimizer 100% removed the variable from the final code. Quite interesting since trying to reverse engineer this assembly language would probably end up using a goto statement... (ouch!)

    The code goes more or less like this:
