MS Access (mdb) files don’t support indexed memo fields

Monday, July 30th, 2007

It took me some time until I found why the program I’m working on is not working: the index (primary key) is not created on a memo field. Period.

Workaround? I created another field, in which I store the md5 hash (or any other hash, just make sure the relationship for the data you store in that field via that hash function is unique otherwise you will get the same hash for 2 or more different values) of the memo field which I make it the primary key.
ugly 😡

Rent-a-coder funny (&sad) bid

Friday, July 6th, 2007

There was this bid the other day in which the bidder was asking for small project that will create a tray icon which will have an icon based on the results from a webpage. anyway, it was easy. So at the time I viewed the bid, there were already arund 14 bids made. So I started and made the project, thought to win this one by low bid and ready-made application.
The bidder was asking for maximum $100, so I bidded $13 and attached my project (which worked quite well and it took me around 1 hour to make). At that time my bid was the 25th or 26th, somewere around that number. By the end of bidding, there were 55 bids and the bidder choosed a $50 bid 😆
guess that bidding too low doesn’t always do the trick. 😕
