About SWF
Brief History
At the very beginning, a company created the SWF format to generate small vector animations on the Internet called Shockwave Flash (hence the name of the format, SWF.) It also included images. This company was bought by Macromedia around 1997 (if I recall properly). This is when Flash v3 was created. Since then, Macromedia created a new version about once a year up to version 8. At that time (in 2005/2006), Macromedia sealed a deal with Adobe which wanted to use the SWF format in their PDF files.
Today (May 1st, 2008), the SWF format is available for free to all.

Create a Table of Contents from a View
Setup
There are, I'm sure, many different ways to handle views with the Table of contents.
Here is what I think is the easiest at the moment:
1. Create a view and include a Title field (which generates a header for the title, most likely <H2>)
2. Create a node and include the view in the node using the Insert view filter1
3. Select a filter on this node that includes support for Insert views and Table of contents
4. If
- 1. Note that the Insert view filter was found to have some security issues. Use with care. The project home page has additional information about this module.

odbcpp, a simple C++ library to access ODBC
| ||||
The ODBC library is an interesting concept created by Microsoft in 1988. It is a library that wraps the implementation details of database managers inside drivers. And these drivers are accessible from the library.
One of the main problem with accessing any database system, is the large number of possible failures. Handling those ...
Commercial license for odbcpp
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 00:00 — Alexis WilkeIn June 2008, Made to Order Software created a new software library called odbcpp. This library is an Open Source C++ wrapper of the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) library started by Microsoft in 1988.
ODBC hides the details of back-end database systems. In other words, if you support ODBC, you can effortlessly connect to a very large number of database systems such as MS-SQL, Access, Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL.
odbcpp is an extension for C++ programmers. It is easy to use and it is a great solution to avoid many bugs as it will automatically handle all the possible ODBC errors for ...

Drop the cords!

No more cords for your computers to run? Is that a joke? Not really. All these cords to get electricity to our computers and other gadgets are annoyingly in our way.
RPATH not working in wxWidget
Thu, 07/03/2008 - 00:31 — Alexis WilkeAt my company we have the sandbox. This uses different free libraries that we compile within a specific directory (to not have problems with the system installation of a customer.) This means you need to include an RPATH in the binary (.ELF) files.
Most of the libraries that we use have a modern configure script that uses libtool. libtool knows how to automatically add the RPATH information to the libraries and binaries generated in a project.
