I just love this browser comparison that I found on OSXDaily blog. It does a great job of representing the “magic quadrant” of browsers:

It seems Oracle starts to promote code sharing through it venture with CollabNet. I have not seen much content related to PeopleSoft other than one-ff document about audit records. Let’s hope this will pick up in the future.

January 10th, 2010 by

The following is just an observation:
Clever, smart – all describe our ability to learn faster than average. Wisdom is an ability to utilize what you have learned to implement an idea in real life – to Create. Ironically, those same skills and standards we have learned throughout our life – made us clever, smart and educated – create a frame of reference , a box, that bounds us to think within its dimensions. I’d like to think of creation as of building a dimension, a vector, maybe an ability to build a different shape altogether – ability to believe and follow through to the very end.
Some of us build our dimensions within a “box” created by others’ . And there are others, who can create completely new ones for us to follow and fill them up.
Everything in life is analogous – some people can create faster than others, like flowers that can bloom and bring fruit several times a year, some can do it once in a lifetime – like some types of cactus.
I hope we all find a way to bloom and bring fruit at least once in our lifetime.

(No Ratings Yet)Blackberry client for Wordpress
January 6th, 2010 by
Respond
WP Team has done great again – they teamed up with Danais and released their very own free blackberry client. I have to say that I would much better use theirs than anything else. I did try BBMetaBlog – but for some reason I could not get it to work on my BB.
I just tried it and it is wonderful – you can get categories, tags posts, comments and the interface is sooo neat.
Here is the link to the app which is also available OTA:

(No Ratings Yet)Clean up those Windows Update backup files
October 29th, 2009 by
Respond
As I started running out of space on my little HP Mini 1000 netbook, I started to wonder what what the problem: I have not installed anything new but this thing is running low on space. So after a quick research, here is what you can do to quickly gain some space:
a) Delete old system restore points:
- Open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button
. In the search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.
- If prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then click OK.
- In the Disk Cleanup for (drive letter) dialog box, click Clean up system files.
If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- If prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then click OK.
- Click the More Options tab, under System Restore and Shadow Copies, click Clean up.
- In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click Delete.
- Click Delete Files, and then click OK.
b) Delete Windows Update Backup Files:I have read about this method in the post by Danny Archer. If you just want to get rid of those here is Windows Update Utility.

(No Ratings Yet)PeopleSoft Security Logging
August 19th, 2009 by
Respond
This question came up during the recent application security audit – how does PeopleSoft track user sign in attempts and locations.
Aside from the obvious PSOPRDEFN table there is PSACCESSLOG – this table has OPRID, LOGIPADDRESS, LOGINDTTM, LOGOUTDTTM columns that give you information about user sign on activity. LOGIPADDRESS will contain the RemoteAddr property of %Request object, which is also useful in case you validate user ip address at the sign on. The only problem this could pose is in case your users are behind a single or multiple gateways that perform NAT. Then the value of this field would contain those NATed ip addresses and not the actual user ip addresses.

(No Ratings Yet)PeopleSoft 9.1 and future Releases Roadmap
August 10th, 2009 by
Respond
There is some additional information I wanted to share from the Quest conference. Here is a very pretty slide that outlines the roadmap for delivering PeopleSoft applications 9.1 from the presentation of Marc Weintraub, Director, PeopleSoft Product Strategy and Development:
![captured_Image.png[4]](http://workingscripts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/captured_Image1.png41.png "captured_Image.png[4]")
More good news are coming for those of us that are on release of 8.9+ . As part of enhancing customer upgrade experience Oracle will provide Automated One step Upgrade script to version 9.1. I am not sure how would this affect application customizations, but still sounds good:
Another nifty tool that allows you to quickly grab and review the new features in the release you are trying to upgrade to – Cumulative Feature Overview Tool. It is basically a spreadsheet that allows you to this information quickly and efficiently:
![captured_Image.png[6]](http://workingscripts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/captured_Image1.png61.png "captured_Image.png[6]")
So if I have General Ledger 8.8 and trying to upgrade to 9.0 you would see something like the screenshots below. Also, release 9.1 is not currently included because it has not been released yet. The report is very high level but would save you some time trying to prepare the Upgrade project presentation.
