Although Acrobat Reader 5.0 is supposed to support Unicode bookmarks, it doesn’t. I can make bookmarks “ßß” or “Ñ?Ñ?“, but I can’t create a bookmark “ßÑ?“. Alas, only a slice of unicode per bookmark.
I need to check if a float value is actually an integer. If so, I use the value as integer, otherwise as float.
After fixing problems with garbage collection, other memory errors are trivial, even if they take a while. This time I used xmlXPathConvertString, which frees its argument. I must read documentation more attentive. What I need is xmlXPathCastToString.
I should feel lucky. I’ve debugged and fixed program crashes, which were induced by garbage collection. It have taken only 4 days. I’ve added 5 lines to the program, and 8 problem issues go away, and more issues will be closed after testing.
That’s not funny. Again the namespaces, again a libxslt bug. Libxslt is confused when XSLT and XML use the same prefix with different URI.
Yet another bug, in yet another program. I like wt2db (WikiText to DocBook, I’ve already written about wt2db), so I’ve submitted a bug.
I’m trying to write a sort of generative XSLT: an XSLT stylesheet which creates another XSLT stylesheet. Unfortunately, I’ve confused xsltproc.
I was near starting to fix a “bug”. Fortunately, I asked myself: “is it really a bug, or is it misunderstanding of the specification?” That’s saved me a time. Actually, all works correct and error is in tests.
From a letter. “You should make Python Script for … look more impressive. Currently it works less than 1 second and displays: “ready, press any key”. We expect …”
Don’t use programlistingco and other co-elements of DocBook. They are not supported in full by the DocBook XSL stylesheets.
I wanted to add my own recursive target in addition to the recursive targets produced by automake. It was not easy.
On my computer, I often install web-applications which use a mysql database. I prefer to run different applications under different database accounts. Till now I used boring manual manipulations to create accounts, but now I worked out a better way.
In order to produce a patch file, I’ve looked through the following books:
I’m always spending lots of time searching for these information: “Using batch parameters“, “Using batch files“, “Command shell overview“.
The latest CVS version of libxml2 doesn’t build. Linking fails with messages:
../../.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_getspecific' ../../.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_once' ../../.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_key_create' ../../.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_setspecific'
On the 1st April (fool’s day; in our culture a day for jokes) I got a letter from a customer with a specification and the words: “take some time to do it”. Unintentional joke of “take some time” is that I have finished coding only now, 7 June.
Finally, SourceForge.net repaired statistics for the projects. It was a dream since the middle of January.
I’ve advertised GetReuse once again in response to the following question:
How do you compare 2 strings, and determine how much they are “close” to each other?
Due to historical reasons, my Linux box at work uses Promise RAID. Recently (month ago) I added a new HDD (AFAIK, attached to ICH5). Unfortunately, the HDD didn’t work.
