School Time

Posted on Jul 19, 2008 by Patrick

Despite the fact that I have tons of stuff to do at work and school during the weekends, I knew I had to place this somewhere. What can I do? Some things are just too good to leave forgotten among the wilderness of cyberspace. I guess the fact that I’ve decided to go for a [...]

Human Behavior Tidbits

Posted on Sep 2, 2007 by Patrick

Really stuff for the news entry previously, (only more dated that is.)
One of Four American Adults Read No Books Last Year
Not really surprising as far as I’m concerned. I think advances in technology has something to do with the dent on the amount of time people get to spend with books significantly. A lot has [...]

The Future of Books, Not Bound by Anything

Posted on Apr 29, 2007 by Patrick

The Economist published an article of the same title towards the end of March. I’ve been waiting for free time as scarce as the rainfall in this country these days so the read has been pretty much mentioned in several threads by now already.
Anyway the article talks about the phenomenon of digitizing books. It was [...]

MIS Alley

For the Nth Time Nov 30, 2009

I created this blog to serve as a repository for my MIS-related stuff from UPOU. Back then, my intent was to keep updating this as often as I can. My purpose was a blend of it to be a time-capsule of sort and to be of aid to others who would wish to pursue the post-grad degree themselves.Being one comfortable with blogging, I thought I could actually live up […]

IS238 - Quiz 1 Jun 25, 2009

Yup. I'm done... and relieved...For now that is.

Over OCR Jun 20, 2009

I've never given a thought on OCR stuff much before because I never thought of a situation I would end up actually needing it.Just early this day, I actually needed to find a solution towards that direction.More specifically, I have a PDF in IS238 with lengthy code in it and I need to have both server and client codes running. While the intuitive step o […]

Forum Snapshots Jul 13, 2008

The last time I posted about something here about the computing ethics subject I'm currently taking up, it had that tone of a dilemma about whether to post my experience being active at highfiber. It was due primarily to the fact that the place is pretty much an asylum sans the downright retardedness back in the time I choose to associated my activeness […]

Wading through Ada Programming Jul 13, 2008

I got to "experience" programming in Ada back at college first. Back then, I remember having used a certain version of GNAT. It was for Win95 if I remember it right.Now, I tried to get the same environment for my notebook to help me answer an FMA question. Never did I realize that it would be that hard. I spent more than 6 hours to get the GNAT Pro […]

Juggling Javascript May 18, 2008

I’ve been using Javascript for years now but it’s just recently when I’m starting to go from intermediate to the next echelon in terms of my level of expertise. Far back before the start of this millennium, common uses of the scripting language is on form validation and rollovers. As early as a few years after [...]

New Reference Mar 9, 2008

Another “why-I-haven’t-I-thought-of-that-before” idea I encountered during the past week was when I had to force a response document to access its parent when it’s still new. Even if it still hasn’t been saved yet, it has to be able to get the corrent document unique ID of its parent. It sounds easy with the use [...]

Principal Suspect Nov 1, 2007

Given a scenario when your database is supposed to send out email notifications which when replied to would automatically send it to a given email account, I’ve always thought the straightforward use of the Principal would suffice. That is, the given code should do the trick: doc.Principal = “johndoe@acme.com” But it doesn’t. If you h […]

Stamp It All In Oct 29, 2007

Just a question: How do you code the part of the WQS agent which implements changes in a given field from the current document to the response documents under it? Never realized how practical (or surprising) that question turned out to be early this month. I’m talking about Jake’s dedicated entry for a neat, single line [...]

Laying Down the Rules Oct 28, 2007

One post I encountered at TipidPC asks why the rules he set didn’t work on Return Receipt email notifications. Despite those years in the Lotus Notes/Domino fray which includes several mail database customizations via development, it had me scouring through the forums as helping the guy took some time. What I didn’t realize that the Subject [...]
