Turnover and External Procedures I’ve been having a problem promoting Stored Procedures today. After an hour of looking at two different Applications defined in Turnover – where one works fine and the other… *cough…. doesn’t. I’m still none the wiser. Grrrrr So this little cheat sheet may come in handy for me (and for you!) …
Before I start raging about this car I need to take a deep breath. This Problem Landrover LR3 is a particularly naughty example of landrovers utter rubbishness. This bloody thing is making my head EXPLOOOODEEDEE with frustration. Just to reduce the chances of my head exploding in frustration, I am going to amuse myself by …
It’s Dirty but it works! So this is a technique that I discovered while trying to get WDSSC7.0.0.8 working with the April 2013 build of Turnover V100 Windows Client. This works but I wouldn’t recommend it as this is a much simpler solution. Well.. while we are waiting for Unicom to release a backward-compatible plugins …
So, for the last several months I’ve been getting this very annoying drupal error message on virtually every page on the website: Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 1066 of 1068 bytes in variable_initialize() (line 943 of /home/projex/www/www/includes/bootstrap.inc). I had researched it… tried hacking some little PHP snippets… tried cleaning up the SQL database… all …

RFCs are usually decomposed down to lower level work requests or tasks for software development. CAB (Change Advisory Board) The collection of stakeholders who review all RFCs …
Is SQL faster than CPYF Native IO? For the longest time I’ve heard about the performance difference between a true SQL INDEX and a DDS ACCESS PATH generated index on the IBM i operating system (or ‘OS400’ which was a ten year old, but very commonly used version of the the same OS). But is …
So, as usual… today I was scratching my head with a problem that was kind of outside my realms of expertise. These realms are many, I hasten to add the ones outside are the many ones and the ones inside are rapidly diminishing with my brain cells exploding in a puff of logic and old …
You DO NOT have an AS400 or an iSERIES! This has been an ongoing argument disagreement in our IBM i and RPG programmer communities for well over a decade: Should IBM have changed the name when the launched the replacement for the old AS/400 computer? Many people using the latest IBM i servers still enjoy …
Me and my wing man (Bailey Version 2.0 – the Springer Spaniel) arrived in Las Vegas on Sunday night after a smooth flight courtesy of Delta Airlines. Shipping pets around domestic USA is remarkably easy and pain free: Make sure dog is all up to date with vaccinations and get a certificate from Vet saying …
Over recent years I’ve become increasingly focused on connecting IBM i Systems to the Internet – aka cloud for you trendy peeps. We live in an internet connected world and the requirements for a business to plug their back-office Power Servers into this big cloud is rapidly becoming a standard. With the huge increase in …
Note: The following are humorous (and sometimes serious) quotes gathered from the internet. Since it’s all a big rip-off, I am assuming no copyright whatsoever.
