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

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

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. 😕

Delphi 7 IDE error

June 20th, 2007

I am working on a rather big project, and of course there are a lot of custom components and packages in it, one of which packages is called “paginated” (It contains a component which enables pagination on listviews). Now, I wrote this package and component a few months ago (2 maybe?) and everything was working just fine. Today, however, I was working on something else, when I needed to close some units from the editor and then I got this nice AV error:An error occured in the Delphi IDEAn error occured in the Delphi IDEAn error occured in the Delphi IDEAn error occured in the Delphi IDE

Generali insurance ad

June 13th, 2007

I’ve been searching for this song for weeks. Others have been for years. During my searches, I’ve found a croat forum on which there was somebody mentioning this about 2 years ago. So it’s an old issue 🙂
It’s the song that goes like this:
"He’s always there…
When I need him
Like an angel in the sky
It’s good to have you with me."

So, I’ve done the obvious and went to the source: the Generali company 🙂 Sent them an email (to my local office) asking for information about the song. They said the song was made specially for them and they own the rights and all that but they agreed to send me the full song 😀

So I am now in possesion of it BUT they didn’t agree with me making it public. So, I cannot make it available BUT I can tell you that you can try doing as I did, asking for it from the source and who knows, you might get lucky 😉

Google, making the webmaster rules

June 12th, 2007

So, there was at one time this "rule", that you shall not have hidden text in your site, otherwise you might get in trouble.
It was a funny thing to find out that google actually has hidden text in their pages 😆"Do what the pope says, not what the pope does." - romanian saying"Do what the pope says, not what the pope does." – romanian saying"Do what the pope says, not what the pope does." - romanian saying"Do what the pope says, not what the pope does." – romanian saying
