My WinVista looks like a Mac :)

-
Hi. In Dec/january, working with Zemoga, I got a Mac. I loved the OSX. hated not having right-clic on the trackpad, the different keys for common Office tasks, different default behaviours, but it was a nice experience.

I prefer Win though, and since XP is so nineties, I upgraded to Vista busoiness 64 bit.

In order to be more Mac-alike, I found some tools very nice:

ObjectDock




It emulates MacOSX toolbar very well..... I like it, and I'll like it more when it supports X64 OS

Switcher
This tool makes switching application just like in Mac. small thumbnails of all your windows, and you sleect the one yo like....

with these apps, I feel I have a Next-get OS UI!!!
Let's see what Win7 can add to this....

Manejo de "Cumpleaños del mes" en WSS 3.0

-
No he encontrado ningún artículo que indique cómo crear una vista en WSS 3.0 que muestre los cumpleaños del día; el gran problema es la falta de flexibilidad en los filtros por defecto y en el manejo de columnas calculadas en WSS, que no permite simplemente filtrar por una fórmula como MONTH([FechaNacimiento]) = MONTH([Hoy]). Mark Kruger tiene uno de cómo hacerlo en WSS2 , pero no funciona bien con SharePoint 2007, porque no se refresca la fecha una vez se calcula (con lo cual, el filtro no se actualiza de mes a mes). El anterior artículo, y la presión de mi cliente, me sirvieron de inspiración para la generación de la vista con SPD a través del procedimiento que ilustro a continuación. Software requerido WSS 3.0 o MOSS 2007; No he probado si funciona con Sharepoint Portal 2003 o con WSS 2.0 pero intuyo que sí.

MongoDb seeding in Docker

-
For my last project I have been tinkering with Docker a lot, and one of the tasks I wanted to accomplish was to have a MongoDb instance in docker get seeded with data and users, as soon as the instance is created. I have been trying several strategies. My first approach was the most naive one: after constructing the container, run manually a shell script that populated the database and created the users. It works fine, I guess. but is a manual process and is a step you must remember to run ... also when moving to prod environments will not work: you should never have Read/Write access to prod. The second approach I took was to create a separate container that would execute the seeding script. This worked better, as the deployment will create the container; and within this container I can execute shell scripts that do mongoImport or mongo queries against the database. The only drawback I have is that the seeding container ringers in the application and eventually needs to be manuall...
