Hermes JMS client documentation lacks of how to connect to Websphere Application Server (WAS) messaging. Most googled receipts with Websphere keyword refer to MQ. While it is possible to expose WAS internal service integration bus (SIB) as MQ link, I failed on that part as WAS was throwing at me 2035 error no matter what I tried. I stepped back to use CORBA for native dialog with SIB bus. Playing with asynchronous communication with processes… Continue reading →
Those who work with Java Script know, that Dojo Toolkit is not perceived as ideal library. Followers claim it addresses missing “enterprise” features along with mobile support and breadth palette of UI widgets, opponents discredit such viewpoint nailing down many core problems, poor documentation among them. I do not have a luxury of choice as IBM products I work with, like BPM or Worklight, heavily rely on Dojo. Being constantly… Continue reading →

There is no doubt about superior features and sexy design of that smartphone. No doubt that user experience of Sense 4.x theme, which is much faster and lightweight, is appreciated by HTC lover as well as its reach and consistent user experience. No doubt reviews glorify this handset even though Samsung Galaxy S3 performs a little better from hardware perspective. It is sad however how quality assurance, both production and warranty service, is… Continue reading →

Even though I would not give up on Android powered smartphone, when it comes to details, little irritating things are coming out. Do not get me wrong: overall usability and general consistency is undoubted and makes the user comfortable most of the time. It is even more powerful with custom firmware. However, over long period of time I have noticed some quirks, collected most of them as a list of issues specific to my needs, and attempts to fix… Continue reading →
Internet Explorer – a black sheep amongst browsers – should be forgotten long ago, yet it stands strong as a standard in many organizations. And while its last incarnation (IE11) adopted some modern web technologies it still offers lurking traps ready to ruin your day. Consider allegedly supported webworkers: when created from Blob IE11 cannot load any resources via XHR and when attempted to be created from separate JS file, IE11… Continue reading →

Urban skater wearing glasses is in trouble picking up right headphones. The problem is multifold. Let start with head movements that are really rapid, far more aggressive then runner or cyclist does. Wearing glasses means there are extra obstacles near ears interfering with some headphone types. Next, skating streets requires high situational awareness; headphones have to pass through ambient sounds. Also riding inline I can accelerate up to… Continue reading →

Over time firmware stabilizes but rework never entirely completes, either due to inevitable bugs or further enhancements. Manual firmware update applied to couple stations in the field has relatively low effort and is just dauting task. While number of stations grows, sparse distribution or distant locations starts to occur all that becomes significant task. Planning ahead I decided to equip the system with secure FOTA (firmware over-the-air)… Continue reading →
KiCad has some built-in auto routing capabilities for laying out PCB wires. More advanced version, online auto-router from www.freerouting.net, can cooperate with KiCad and gives better results. FreeRouter however does not work in offline even after copying Java Web Start resources to local system; auto-router still checks internet access on startup. Irritated I hacked binaries and got rid of online check. Now you can make your auto-router… Continue reading →

Kicad PCB toolset changed a lot over last two years. Great contribution from CERN is merged with stable release on one hand, new library format and projects migration necessity on the other. Meantime Freerouter cooperative tool disappeared and my reluctance to move was justified. Until recently when I gave migration a try. Time saving push-and-shove capabilities that I tried long time ago are now part of regular bundle. Whole bunch of new… Continue reading →
