Now what?

21jan10

Já tive um Atari, um mega drive, joguei muito Master System, Fliperama e Snes. Quando surgiu o PC, migrei logo pro danado… Win 3.11 e Win95 ficaram marcados pela novidade das janelinhas. Sempre gostei das novidades… joguei muito Duke Nukem, Doom, Fifa e Pitfall.

Mas nunca foi o bastante… provavelmente para muitos também não. Entrei muito em chats com aquela internet discada, aliás era uma torcida pra conectar. Quem nunca teve uma conta no ZipMail? rsrsrs

Ainda não era o bastante, lan houses lotadas com a galera jogando Age of Empires e Counter Strike (cheguei a jogar até Tibia e Elifoot). Usei muito o Irc (Brasnet e FreeNode), já tive Fotolog e Blog bem no inicio quando ainda era novidade, participei de listas de discussão, tive vários sites em hospedagens gratuitas rsrsrs.

Depois de alguns anos ainda não era o bastante, criei um perfil no Orkut, Gmail, joguei Play2, li milhares de RSS e participei de vários fóruns. Aprendi a programar em mais de cinco  linguagens de programação. Já tive PC, notebook, iPod, SmartPhone… Infra-Red, 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth e etc.

Há algum tempo criei um perfil no Linkedin, Twitter, Google Wave e joguei Wii. Qual será o próximo passo? Touch pra todos os lados? Super Blue-Ray? SuperMegaHyperPhones?

Será que não para nunca? Ninguém enjoa disso tudo? Será que eu sou o único louco?

Quando vão entender que não é criando mais tecnologia que vai facilitar a nossa vida…

Quando vão entender que passar horas no MSN e YouTube não preenche o vazio da solidão e da depressão…

Não mudou nada, continuamos sem tempo para o que realmente interessa…

A propósito: deletei meu Orkut, vendi meu SmartPhone, nunca usei meu LinkedIn, Google Wave e já enjoei do Twitter.

Aos poucos vou voltando para a minha vida real, e você meu amigo… em qual vida está investindo seu tempo?

Using the bprowsdldoc in Progress

15dez09

It’s a tool to generate ws documentations.

It’s very useful to many things, but in my opinion, the most important is… help developers when they need to consume a webservice.

Using
DLC_installation\bin\bprowsdldoc your_wsdl folder_for_documentation

Sample – MsDOS
cd C:\DLC101B\bin
bprowsdldoc http://myhost:2580/MyService/MyMethod?WSDL c:\myws

Now it’s just open the index page inside the chosen folder.
c:\myws\index.html

OpenEdge Architect Workspace Corrupted

I’m an OpenEdge Architect addicted, so the workspace is the most import folder in hd.

Last week, my workspace became corrupted… if it happens with you, follow the steps below:

Alter the file…

File
Your_DLC_Installation\oeide\eclipse\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs

Old Line
RECENT_WORKSPACES=c:\old_workspace

New Line
RECENT_WORKSPACES=c:\new_workspace,c:\old_workspace

Just do it.

STOP-AFTER – Progress 10.2B

01dez09

Progress 10.1B is going to have a new block control feature called STOP-AFTER.

It’s a improvement, but I think we waited too long for this feature.

I don’t know your needs, but for me it will be very useful in webservices calling.

Anyway, it works and thanks Progress Software.

Sample
define variable iCont as integer no-undo.
do while true stop-after 1 on stop undo, leave:
assign iCont = iCont + 1.
end.
display iCont.

MAX date in Progress databases

12nov09

Sometimes PROGRESS scares me… lol

BY curious I was seeking the MAX VALUE TO PUT IN a DATE VARIABLE.

RESULT…. 31/12/32767

But… why 32767 year?

Maybe because of the MAX VALUE TO an INTEGER VARIABLE.

Take a look…

DEFINE VARIABLE dToday AS DATE NO-UNDO.

ASSIGN dToday = 12/31/32767.

MESSAGE dToday VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.

Error….

DEFINE VARIABLE dToday AS DATE NO-UNDO.

ASSIGN dToday = 12/31/32768.

MESSAGE dToday VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.

This is a quick and small tip, but…. very useful.

• Instead of selecting it, quickly swipe your finger across to the left or to the right;
• A delete button will appear;
• Delete.

If u have some problem, please… let me know.

Using optional parameters in procs – T-sql

22out09

Hi everyone,

If you work with development, you’ll understand me… sometimes, your procedures must have optional params. It’s very common in languages like… VB, Java, C#, Progress ABL, and so on.

In T-Sql isn’t diff, and this is an example of optional params.
It’s just use =NULL in the param…

Proc
–DROP PROC DBO.AAA_TESTE
CREATE PROC DBO.AAA_TESTE
(@NUM1 INTEGER
,@NUM2 INTEGER
,@NUM3 INTEGER = NULL)
AS

IF @NUM3 IS NULL
BEGIN
SELECT @NUM1 + @NUM2
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @NUM1 + @NUM2 + @NUM3
END

Testing
EXEC AAA_TESTE 1,2
EXEC AAA_TESTE 1,2,1

Both scripts work, with 2 and with 3 params.

That’s all.
