Cisco Interoperability Portal

Wow. I was always looking for these information using the CCO search (which sucks). Now, all the CUCM et al interoperate stuff si well organized at the Cisco Interoperability Portal.

SNMP for Java?

I never knew it existed. But it does. Seems interesting:

On MapReduce

This post serves as a starting point for the MapReduce tutorials I have read and found interesting:
General: Introduction to Parallel Programming and MapReduce
Excellent presentation on CouchDB: CouchDB: the last RESTful JSON store you'll ever need
This is good, too, on CouchDB: CouchDB

Oracle ADF Faces

I watched their demo. Oracle ADF Faces is definitely worth a try.

ICM Internet Script Editor

Yeah, I forgot that again. How I hate this.
Anyway, the ICM Internet Script Editor is always available on the Administrative Workstation machine at

jTDS info

After having looked up the hundredth time, I put this here so I find it easily:

What is the URL format used by jTDS?
The URL format for jTDS is:
jdbc:jtds:<server_type>://<server>[:<port>][/<database>][;<property>=<value>[;...]]

where is one of either 'sqlserver' or 'sybase' (their meaning is quite obvious), is the port the database server is listening to (default is 1433 for SQL Server and 7100 for Sybase) and is the database name -- JDBC term: catalog -- (if not specified, the user's default database is used)

Original: http://jtds.sourceforge.net/faq.html#urlFormat

Left padding numbers

Again, a simple task: take a random unsigned integer up to 9999, and return it to the caller, but in a string which is always four characters (even though the random number may be one, two or three characters (like 2, 98, 112; I would be expecting 0002, 0098, 0112).

Took like ten minutes to find the right thing in the docs. But finally.

int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(9999);
System.out.println(String.format("%04d", randomNumber));

JAVA RIA

I need a Rich Internet Application framework. In Java, of course.
Thinking about either JavaFX. Or, perhaps Apache Pivot.
