Our AVG subscription was expiring and I was having 2nd thoughts about renewing – it was periodically crashing Bette’s underpowered computer. Ralph at work recommended Kaspersky Internet Security, and I got a trial of that and ESET Nod32 Security to try out. Both were well reviewed. ESET has a more techie interface, and a [...]
So I am trying to archive the check scans. TIF files named “donation-2010-DEP01-01.TIF” to identify the year, deposit batch number (01) and the scan number within the batch.
I first just entered the keywords using Thumbs Plus 7. Pain. TP8 is not much better – cannot keep the image open while I add the keywords. [...]
I need to do some testing, so let’s try installing Windows XP Pro into a Virtual Box VM to avoid trashing my production system. Which is pretty trashed anyway, and has a big frosty pre-ordered (cheap) Windows 7 waiting when I finally get around to researching a driver for my now non-supported HP LaserJet 3150 [...]
SO I have
class TestFoo {
}
TestFoo s1 = Mockito.mock(TestFoo.class);
TestFoo s2 = Mockito.mock(TestFoo.class);
The Mockito doc “Real Partial Mocks” says to do this:
when(mock.someMethod()).thenCallRealMethod();
we get the error
“The method when(T) in the type Mockito is not applicable for the arguments (void)”
After 1/2 hour of hunting I found a hint, and refactored:
Mockito.doCallRealMethod().when(s1).assertEquals(s2);
Or, Use SQL Squirrel and JDBC to dedupe MusikCube playlists
I use MusikCube a lot. That said, I sometimes share files from various machines that have duplicate files, and rather than hand-edit the playlists after each synchronization to eliminate the duplicate albums, I want an automated way. Since MusikCube runs on SQLite, why not do it [...]
I was working on the trideltamc.org wordpress installation and tested uploading pictures. Error 500. Huh.
A little googling. Found this article on Error 500 Wordpress 1&1 Web Hosting. I already had a .htaccess file, but added the two lines – the first time I forgot the space and it blew up everything.
Thanks dude!
I found some photos of a rock climbing group from work. They were named “Cora At Top.JPG”, which is great to look at the once, but they don’t really fit into the archival scheme. Plus I didn’t want to have to reenter the caption, since it was encoded into the filename already.
I reached into the [...]
I use KeePass to track hundreds of passwords, securely.
I also use Replicator to synchronize the files between my USB flash drive, home and work PCs. Sometimes it gets confused, mostly when I make changes at both ends. Replicator realizes this and stops. It creates a copy of the file, renames it password~1.kdb and replicates [...]
Karin from work and I attended a one-day course, Presenting Data and Information, by Edward Tufte at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
I had read some of his stuff a year or two earlier, tried to go to the Chicago course, and our crack clerical staff missed the deadline and it was full. So here we go! [...]
