Webkit and Webkit/Safari on Windows
I have been using Webkit nightly for the past few weeks. I was not planning on using it much, just trying it out, but it’s so fast that without really intending to, I’ve stopped using Firefox. I never used Safari much because I like Firefox both speed- and feature-wise, but now I’m probably Webkit only. […]
Setup visual studio for sharepoint development
A food obsessed IT developer writes about setting up visual studio to develop for sharepoint without having sharepoint installed on the development computer. Nice instructions and saved me quite a bit of time.
PSF -> JPG converting
FixPicture is a nice little site that helped me with converting a PSF file (ArcSoft PhotoStudio format) to JPG. I had received this file as an attachment by a user who couldn’t know this was a nonstandard format, and since I didn’t have any software that could read it (as far as I know), this […]
Airtunes is back
Macrumors reports that AppleTV Take Two includes airtunes support! Yay! Finally some light in this dark tunnel. And here I was thinking that Apple had abandoned the technology after leaving it out of new Airports. I’m looking forward to hearing just what it will do. Stream? Play back? Both ways? Bridge?
Templates in Sharepoint
I was installing a set of templates on a sharepoint server I’m setting up for work, and I came accross these great instruction on how to install them, since I had the same problem as Matthew in the comments. I even learned that the command line has for-loops. I always assumed this shell had absolutely […]

No CoverFlow for shared iTunes libraries
I’m not a frequent user of CoverFlow, but now that I wanted to use it on my shared iTunes library in my living room from the Windows iTunes client I noticed that I cannot select neither CoverFlow nor in an album list. I’m stunned and looking forward to trying it out on my MBP
Questions Dashboard Users ask
Reading more in The Dashboard Spy I found this great table of questions users ask and how you should answer them when it comes to designing dashboard:
Check out the reference whitepaper by PureShare on Best Practices in Dashboard Design. And for that next great UI design, check out 175+ Data and Information Visualization Examples and […]
Pentaho
While Googling I found Pentaho, an open source BI suite that uses the same stack that I used for my last job: MySQL/JBoss/Tomcat/Eclipse. Great seeing there are more out there, and if you’re starting up with BI and prefer OSS, check them out!
Named Calculation expressions
Just a quick note on Name Calculations in SSAS, they need to be written in whatever SQL dialect the underlying DB engine (probably MS-SQL) understands. I wanted to make a Sales Margin calculation, and to avoid a Divide by Zero where sale price was zero, my code for this was:
CASE
WHEN Sale0 THEN (Sale-Cost)/Sale
ELSE 0
END
Never before […]
