TouchGraph’s powerful visualization solutions let you discover relationships between people, organizations and ideas. It’s a million times more interesting than a spreadsheet and luckily there is a very cool Facebook …
Gmail Signatures with Images So, this week I’ve been playing with my email signature. Over the years my email sig has changed with the fashion of the moment. From simple “Cheers, Nick” to gloriously wordy tomes containing “please dont print this it kills the trees and trees make air which we breathe so if it …
A few years ago, I found this great article that answered all my questions regarding how to send emails (in this case various CSV spreadsheets) from the AS400 and iSeries machines. I was just discussing it so even though this is 20 years old, why not stuff it in a blog entry: Send E-Mail Messages …
I’m very excited about the RPG World conference in a few weeks… RPG World at Monte Carlo Resort & Casino (in Vegas) – May 6 to 9, 2009 I’m booked and absolutely cant wait to get there…. This conference, event, lesson, course (whatever your want to call it) already looks to be covering every aspect …
So, having recently gone through my seemingly annual exercise of backup, format, install, restore of my laptop, I was prompted to actually sit down and sort out my various backups, network drives and data stored randomly on various desktop and laptop systems. It’s [shock horror] actually all kind of neat and tidy now… all documents, …
Another golden oldie from the bucket full of dusty emails sitting in the corner… hopefully useful to somebody who doesn’t know that ASP stands for Auxiliary Storage Pool: IBM Support Line Technical Document Specifying Auxiliary Storage Pool When Using IFS Document Description: IFS commands such as MKDIR and IFS APIs do not provide an option …
Programming, AS400, IBM i, iSeries, RPG

another snippet from an old document I found in a dim dark and hazy corner of an even older HDD… rather than let it disintegrate, here it is migrating to the web just in the (extreme) off chance that it may be useful to someone out there. Hey.. if YOU are reading this then its …
So, lets start on the right foot. I cannot spell. Even though I spend my life reading books, reading technical documentation, writing programs, typing web content and am surrounded by the written (and digital) word for 20 hours a day I will admit to being a terrible speller.
It’s the common words that get me, and of course, my own particular brand of over; punctuating every-thing!!!! 😉
Anyway, I digress.
I dont have a problem with the myriad of miss-spelt words on line, or the new text-speak that is becoming so common in blogs and online articles by those of us who are still the sunny side of 30. alrite m8? The trouble is using search engines to find information when it is clearly written in a different language. No, not French or German, not even British or American English, but quite simply English and badly-spelt-English.
...The process for developing software is really simple, it just needs to be burned into your brain. If you are just starting a career in programming you will hear the acronym “SDLC” thrown around. So here is a quick little primer. The SDLC is also known as Classic Life Cycle Model (or) Linear Sequential Model …
