Data Conversion

Last week, in a very interesting and enlightening blog post, Ross Mayfield, Chairman, President & Co-founder of Socialtext, and who I had the great pleasure of meeting up in person while in Lotusphere 2008, mentioned how he is taking a very provocative turn into expanding

I'm trying to load multiple classes with the same name from different directories in order to implement a pluggable deployment system. I have managed to get the classes to be redefined by playing with the global symbol table, and it seems to be behaving the way I want except for the definition of @ISA. Here's some sample code:

URL: [link] Have your arms around the techniques ... Enjoy!

I have a issue: 1. I want to open a file and use the data from the file to construct the url. 2. After I constructed the url and sent it, I got the response html data and some parts are what I want store inot the files. It seems like a very easy thing, however, the issue is that the data from the file that I have to open are too huge, which I have to

I am pulling out what little hair I have left! I cannot get oracle to install on my AIX 5.3 Maint Level 05 box, the installer is very very slow, and hangs at different spots.

My Pet Peeve of the Week is

If I do : foreach(<filehandle>) { my $local = <filehandle>; # I assumed I will increment the file descriptor here print " local $local\n"; But if I do : while(<filehandle>) { my $local = <filehandle>; # I assumed I will increment the file

I had a challenge last week with our cellular provider. We were porting a line in from a pre-paid plan. Our first phone call resulted in a, "I don't know how that is done but I will find out." I was bounced around to various departments until someone

This is solved. As it turns out, it isn't a bug but a feature. On Oracle10g and previous releases, the client was specifying the service name. On oracle11 and later, one should specify default service for the listener by using DEFAULT_SERVICE_<listener_name > directive in the listener.ora. That means that the default service can now be configured

Big news in the tech arena today. EnterpriseDB has just posted about the closing of its series C financing with news that IBM has invested in the company. This is big. IBM doesn't usually invest in software companies. With Sun buying MySQL, it definitely makes sense. I don't think Sun will abandon Postgres

Hello, currently I am testing to parse the oracle alert log for all ora-<any number> errors. I just want to check if my monitoring rules for the alert log are working as expected.
