Note to self. If I see another error involving NOEXPAND check these

1) Make sure server is running SQL 2005
2) Make sure the view has WITH SCHEMABINDING in the DDL (i.e. I need to check my upgrade scripts, … in reverse order)

Tom Gleeson aka Goban Saor has an interesting perspective on how well SQLite acts as a general table store which can then be used in OLAP and Excel. He describes the SQLite as the “MP3 for databases”, and I think he comes pretty close to the mark on this.

I came across Almost Perfect via Hacker News, a candid first-hand account of the rise and fall of WordPerfect.
It is so interesting to see how WordPerfect was blind its impending death. I am not singling out WordPerfect here, rather as a theme how corporations are all blind to their eventual death. The singular theme [...]

I was having a lot of problems getting the simplest test case below to run without throwing an odd exception:

Setting custom cursors with JavaFx is relatively straightforward, but for one little catch. Your image has to be 32×32. If you want a 16×16 icon, simply leave the rest of the image transparent.

import java.awt.Toolkit;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;

public class ColorChooser extends Cursor
{
public override function impl_getAWTCursor(): java.awt.Cursor {

Just sharing some code snippets for deserialization of JavaFX objects.

function getValueType(obj:Object,name:String):String

var context:FXLocal.Context=FXLocal.getContext();
var objectValue:FXLocal.ObjectValue = new FXLocal.ObjectValue(obj,context);
var cls:FXClassType = objectValue.getClassType();
var varType:FXType = cls.getVariable(name).getType();
println("{name} {varType}");
if (varType instanceof FXSequenceType)

It’s Saturday morning and I’m bored.
I might go create something whose sole purpose is to praise me.

while 1:
print "I praise Chui, who created me for the purpose of praising him."

I had a Group of circles, i.e.
var circles:Circle[];
var group:Group = Group { content: [circles] };
strangely, I couldn’t get newly inserted circles to render.
It turns out that you have to bind group.content to ensure that changes in circles are reflected in group.content.
Here’s a test routine.

import javafx.scene.paint.*;

Just a reminder to myself. The next time I see an ARITHABORT error, try these
1) SET ARITHABORT OFF
2) Change SQL Server compatibility from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005

Submitting screenshots through the web takes several steps more than it ought to. Firstly we have to paste it into mspaint.exe, save it to disk, only to then fiddle around with the File upload to look for the file again.
Another way to do it is via a signed applet. Unfortunately, the signed applet is unable [...]

Some data dictionary mark certain fields as being read-only. Why should fields ever be read-only? How do they get edited in the first place?
Possible justifications:

The field represents a permanent record, i.e. it behaves more like a document than a database field. A field can be set at record creation time and no-other.
The field represents an [...]

Take a look at aribaweb.org (viaTheServerSide).
AribaWeb is a 4GL RAD for web applications running on a Java stack.
It uses an approach described in data dictionaries as a database pattern to generate metadata-driven UI.
The Ariba toolset seems reasonably mature from the screencasts, although one has to be wary because a lot of the AJAX work [...]

Having spent a few weeks experimenting with JavaFX, and creating several examples, here is an assessment of whether JavaFX succeeds in it’s objective of being a graphics DSL. Bear in mind that I am evaluating it in terms of it’s ease in being a graphics DSL – if it makes my life easier, it succeeds. [...]

Drawing rectangles is pretty straightforward in JavaFX. I decided to add a little bit of animation so that the pieces of the puzzle “fall” into place. This is done by applying ParallelTransition which combines ScaleTransition, RotateTransition and TranslateTransition.

Steps:
1. Use javafxpackager to create the .jar file (it will be created in the dist directory). Make sure the dist directory is empty, or you’ll find your jar file growing bigger each time.

javafxpackager -appClass fisheye -src .

2. Launch the jar file, and don’t forget to include the path to the JavaFX libraries
