How about SAP HANA HDI Container support? Currently we can only connect to HANA Calculation Views in the old _SYS_BIC Schema.

Darn. I really like MDWiki except I'm constrained to where I host this HTML file and where my .MD content sits. They are both on the same top level domain but under different subdomains. (Corporate environment, TFS holds our .md content, and the MDWiki is elsewhere, long story as most corporate environments tend to be...)

Great project, though! Was looking for something lean like this that isn't overkill like most other wiki/markdown solutions are! Keep up the great work!

Can MDWiki reference a .md file on a different host?

Wink is NOT broken for me in 0.39. I am running Wink Hub 2.

I had the crash bug happen to me. I found a fix. Uninstall all versions (free and/or pay). Reinstall the app. DO NOT START THE APP. Turn your phone off (not just sleep, hold down power, slide the red slider) Turn it back on. Now launch the app, and put your E-Mail address back in. Worked for me.

I ended up not using a Boot 132 ISO and downloaded the iPC 10.5.6 distro to get me started. Good tip on the booting from a USB DVD drive, thanks!

Also, you may need to delete the following registry keys that the registry cleaner supplied does not remove:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP folder
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\SERVICESS\SAP *
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\SERVICESS\XSERVER

Good for those who need a car GPS, I guess. But this thing is way too big and bulky to replace smaller devices that do the same thing, and work as a phone.

I also have to say that I'm playing Devil's/Workplace's Advocate. I'm not personally disagreeing with you.

2) I fail to see the correlation of economics and workplace collaboration, apart from a potential gain in efficiency.

Re: Geezers rule - why IT never trusts anyone under 30

entmike — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:01:25 -0000

People in their 20s and 30s are more apt to use tools that they are savvy with than their elders. Why use a slide rule when you can get a free calculator? Why lick a stamp and mail a letter when you can send it instantly?

Re: Multiply the spread of your ideas with free syndication tools

entmike — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:56:56 -0000

I'll continue down the line of thought as Devil's Advocate, if anything, to help you be prepared for the retorts you would get from those who are in charge:

1) What do RSS feeds give you that mailing groups do not?
2) Why do I have to collaborate on the web and then put it all in Powerpoint? Why can't I just use what I've been using?
3) I don't want anybody changing anything I'm working on.

Reason 3 is probably the most frustrating of them all. People need to get over the idea that "I'm" working on something and shift gears and understand that "we" are working on something.

Not to poop on your idea, which is a great one, but some tools still remain tethered to the local runtime environment. An example is your suggestion of Google Docs. Good for organizing a weekend BBQ, bad for a design document or resume. I am still a proponent of rallying workplace collaboration past using E-Mail and attachments, however sometimes you have to ease the 40 and 50-somethings into the idea. Cloud computing and collaboration is still years from gaining corporate adoption and momentum, even though it works in peripheral cases such as group organization and social networking. It's a clash of the 20 and 30-somethings vs the aforementioned 40 and 50-somethings, coupled with non-agile workplaces (ours).

I agree. I consider myself to be a forgiving and optimistic person when it comes to software, whether it be open-source or something I paid money for. However, after two years of this sort of behavior from my OS, I made the decision to revert back to what worked. I'm no /. zealot, but in my case it just made better sense. If MS ever addresses these issues, whether it be Windows 7, or what I consider the more responsible alternative, to fix it with their current release, I will gladly return to a later OS.

What's interesting is all my hardware was purchased either after or the same time as the Vista release. Simple stuff like an Intel board and processor, some SATA drives, and a GeForce 8800. Nothing legacy or uncommon, so I don't know if drivers had anything to do with my situation or not.

Yeah, the stuff in this post is more just boring configuration and tweaking. I'll be posting how to get the transport management system up and running soon, as it's broken in the trial. I'll also be posting about how it goes with using their VMWare trial that hosts an ABAP+Java stack, it may be a better playground than a strictly ABAP system, albeit probably not as lean running.

Re: Streamline your team’s updates with microblogs

entmike — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:48:24 -0000

I still think that blog has a bad stigma to it in the workplace (at least ours). Our workplace culture has deep roots in archaic communication tools such as E-Mail and Lotus Notes Databases. I'm very surprised that we even have a company-wide instant messaging standard with the glacial pace at which we adopt technology. Also since the size of our company is so huge, it becomes a more daunting task to attempt to drive any sort of initiative since our current "tools" can do the job, albeit inefficiently.

Mine was a fresh install, 32-bit. I have a friend who swears that it was because I was running 32-bit that I was having these terrible i/o times, and he says 64-bit smokes. I just don't feel like buying another license for 64-bit. Honestly, that's another gripe all in its own.

I think it's more OS mechanisms than it is instruction set, that was causing the problem. It took around half an hour to install SAP on XP 32bit where it took over 4 hours to do the same task on Vista. Something is wrong with that.

While I have no recent basis for comparison from one blogging application to another, WP was pretty easy for me to set up. I do like that their are tons of themes and plugins available and the fact that's all written in PHP means I can write in my own terrible code as I see fit.

@Daniel J. Pritchett
You might say that I have a little bit of buyer’s remorse when it comes to Vista. The day that it came out I bought Vista Ultimate 32 bit and ran it up until a few weeks ago. For 95% of the things I did, Vista was not a problem, but when I started getting back into more non-casual tasks and gaming, Vista would start dragging. It would take 2 hours to install a game, etc. Pretty much anything that did i/o on the disk would bring the system to a creep. The only thing I am losing by reverting back to XP Pro is DirectX 10, which I’ll just live without.
