Running Linux CMD in Windows - the RipGrep Case

-
Not a new thing, lots of posts there about it..
I have been trying to get it to a nice point, and I think I have been able to.
I installed a new CMD client that actually works better than the one OOB.

Go to https://github.com/goreliu/wsl-terminal  to get it. It allows changing the default font, which is necessary if you want to run the cool Oh My ZSH extension, on the zsh shell.

Now, I installed Angular CLI, Docker CLI, GIT, and I am in a better place.

Recently I needed to use RipGrep on my shell, so I tried the mythical apt-get, with no luck. I Went online to find another way to do it, and the installation notes on RipGrep tell you to install using snappy (for Linux). That didn't work either. Snappy is not functional in WSL 馃槚.

However, the Debian install did work! so I ran the commands stated for Debian :

$ curl -LO https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/download/0.8.1/ripgrep_0.8.1_amd64.deb$ sudo dpkg -i ripgrep_0.8.1_amd64.deb

That allowed me to run rg from my CMD!

Manejo de "Cumplea帽os del mes" en WSS 3.0

-
No he encontrado ning煤n art铆culo que indique c贸mo crear una vista en WSS 3.0 que muestre los cumplea帽os del d铆a; 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 f贸rmula como MONTH([FechaNacimiento]) = MONTH([Hoy]). Mark Kruger tiene uno de c贸mo 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 art铆culo, y la presi贸n de mi cliente, me sirvieron de inspiraci贸n para la generaci贸n de la vista con SPD a trav茅s del procedimiento que ilustro a continuaci贸n. 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 s铆.

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...
