Kovu's Wisdom of The Week:
"I've heard about this and the mokele-mbembe myth. In all truth, dinosaur myths just aren't that unique. Uneducated people look at something big, that seems out of place, and assume it must be a dinosaur." - The Witch King

 | KESR and an update for SKipper |  |
|
Author: Kovu | Date: Jul 16 2010, 21:21:21 CEST
I've written a PHP class to read ESR record files, typically delivered by swiss banks and post to track pay-in slip payments done by customers. It decodes the records so they can easily be converted for your bookkeeping matters.

Further, SKipper has been updated for the most recent KX-Files release.

| Small Updates | |
|
Author: Kovu | Date: Jul 03 2010, 18:35:02 CEST
Today I have two small updates among my PHP libraries (which I'm running with satisfaction for some months already, but never ended up to publish on the website):
- KX-Files v1.0.4 (the num key pad entry is finally working with the GtkEntry functions)
- KPrinter v1.0.3 (I've been working out a solution to access printer trays through CUPS tray attributes in Windows)
Go here to download the updates.

| SSD Write Cycle Limits | |
|
Author: Kovu | Date: Apr 26 2010, 13:49:34 CEST
I just found a nice article worth sharing with other computer users: it's explaining why we shouldn't worry too much about write cycle limits in SSD's (Solid-State Drives, ergo flash drives, the counterpart to Hard-Disk Drives).
I find that to be funny, at some point, because many EeePC users are scaremongering that the disk of these netbooks might fail if you use the main, inbuilt drive like a regular hard drive. I'm actually using my EeePC on a daily basis, with the main drive, and I never really had a problem.

However, what we have to pay attention with is the type of flash storage devices. Zsolt Kerekes, editor over at www.storagesearch.com, wrote another article about the reliability of MLC (Multi Layer Cell) devices, which have bigger error potential and less endurance than the SLC (Single Layer Cell) technology, but are much cheaper than the traditional flash devices:

| KEscPos, SKipper & Reorganized Software Downloads | |
|
Author: Kovu | Date: Feb 05 2010, 22:01:18 CET
 It's about time for the first KLog entry in 2010, isn't it? ;-)
Well, it isn't like I'd have been inactive during this time, so I've some interesting updates for you all. One of them is object oriented version of my ESC/POS printer driver for PHP. Community members already got the source code and functions/class reference from the forums, but now I've built *.tar packages for download from the site. Another would be SKipper, the bookkeeping/finance log program I'm developing for PHP-GTK.
For all photography-fans who have access to private images: there is new image material from Saas Fee, Rapperswil and some more of the pantherines.
Last but not least I've reorganized the software download area. It was a bit messy, from back where the server access ran on terrasco.net Desktop Suite. But now it's well structured, and the private and public software downloads are of a congruent layout.

| Another KX-Files Update | |
|
Author: Kovu | Date: Nov 28 2009, 20:04:42 CET
Yeah, another fix: the XFI type 'time' didn't resolve properly. We are at version 1.0.2 now, and I've updated both distributions of KX-Base with it.

| KX-Files & KX-Base v1.0.1 | |
|
Author: Kovu | Date: Oct 16 2009, 20:23:08 CEST
 Alright, this is the first upgrade for KX-Files and software that depends on it: KX-Files v1.0.1. The KXFI error dialog has been fixed and a new Gtk widget was added - GtkDateEntry(). GtkDateEntry() creates 3 GtkEntries that are bound to a X-Files date cell. It automatically sets callbacks and rules for the entries. Along with that I have an update on KX-Base for you. Some bugs had to be fixed (such as Ctrl+C being used for closing files, which disallows to copy values from the table to your clipboard) and the package comes with KX-Files v1.0.1 now.

| KX-Files Released! | |

Author: Kovu | Date: Aug 31 2009, 15:03:02 CEST
Kovu proudly presents: KX-Files, the database solution for everyone!
Right, the first public version of my X-Files DB platform, called KX-Files, is available for download now. I managed to do some final testing and finished the GUI based editor KX-Base by now. Don't forget we have a support forum for all KX-Files matters on our community!
