The other day I found these notes in my Google Notebook. Instead of lost and forgotten in my Google Notebook, it&#8217;s better to share here so someone can make a good use of it. These are just links and notes dump that I found over various sites. I hope I didn&#8217;t forget to add the link back references for all the notes.</p>
<h3>What is Lucene.Net?</h3>
<blockquote><p>[ <a title="Lucene.Net" rel="external" href="http://incubator.apache.org/projects/lucene.net.html">#</a> ] Lucene.Net is a source code, class-per-class, API-per-API and algorithmatic port of the Java Lucene search engine to the C# and .NET  platform utilizing Microsoft .NET Framework.</p>
<p>Lucene.Net sticks to the APIs and classes used in the original Java  implementation of Lucene. The API names as well as class names are  preserved with the intention of giving Lucene.Net the look and feel of  the C# language and the .NET Framework. For example, the method  Hits.length() in the Java implementation now reads Hits.Length() in the C# port.</p>
<p>In addition to the APIs and classes port to C#, the algorithm of  Java Lucene is ported to C# Lucene. This means an index created with  Java Lucene is back-and-forth compatible with the C# Lucene; both at  reading, writing and updating. In fact a Lucene index can be  concurrently searched and updated using Java Lucene and C# Lucene  processes.</p></blockquote>

<strong>What happens to Lucene.NET library?</strong></p>
<p>This has <em>no effect</em> on Lucene.NET project incubated at Apache (<a title="Lucene.net at incubator" rel="external" href="http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/">http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/</a>) as <a title="dotlucene.net" rel="external" href="http://dotlucene.net">dotlucene.net</a> was an independent site promoting DotLucene/Lucene.NET.</p>

<h3>Lucene.Net Architecture [ <a title="Lucene.Net Architecture" rel="external" href="http://weblogs.asp.net/lkempe/archive/2008/03/07/indexing-and-searching-business-entities-using-lucene-net-framework-part-2.aspx">#</a> ]</h3>

<p>The lower layer is the data access layer (Storage). Then, the upper  layer is about accessing the index files (data access). This layer is  used by the indexing system and the searching system. On top of those  we find a layer for searching and a search request parser layer used by  the searching part of Lucene.Net. Identically we found a parser layer  and a document layer used for the indexation part of Lucene.Net.</p>
<blockquote><p>[ <a title="luncene.net" rel="external" href="http://vijay.screamingpens.com/archive/2008/07/21/linq-amp-lambda-part-4-lucene.net.aspx">#</a> ] At the heart of the engine is the <a title="Index search engine" rel="external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_%28search_engine%29">index</a> (similar to a database table) with fields (like database columns) that  contains documents (like database rows). To search one must write a  query and give it to the engine to finding matching documents. The  query language for a database is SQL and for Lucene it&#8217;s a <a title="lucene.net search query" rel="external" href="http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/docs/2.1/Lucene.Net.Search.Query.html">query</a> object (you can construct complex queries by composing an object graph of query instances).</p>
<p>Search engines are super fast for finding text because documents are stored in an <a title="Inverted Index" rel="external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_index">inverted index</a> (where the terms of each field is tokenized, hashed and sorted at index time).</p>
<p>In contrast to database queries, search engines can calculate  relevance scores when searching. This is because they use a better  querying model called the <a title="vector space mode" rel="external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_space_model">vector space model</a> instead of the classical boolean model. In the vector model, documents and queries are represented as vectors. The <em><strong>similarity</strong></em> between a query and any document can be calculated with simple vector  operations. Documents with a higher similarity will appear higher in  the results. Conversely, databases only know if rows meets the <em><strong>where</strong></em> criteria or not and cannot compute a relevance score &#8211; this true/false classification is how the boolean model got it&#8217;s name.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was trying to deploy a .NET 2.0 application using ClickOnce Deployment the other day.<br />
I had all the IIS settings configured and folder paths entered correctly.<br />
When I clicked &#8216;Publish Now&#8217;, I got an error message that made me wonder if I needed to reinstall Visual Studio. </p>
<blockquote><p>Cannot publish because a project failed to build.<br />
Could not find required file &#8216;setup.bin&#8217; in &#8216;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Engine&#8217;.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87407050@N00/2959325559/" title="Publishing ClickOnce Deployment by kalongthayann, on Flickr" rel="external"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3271/2959325559_e9aa408a0e_m.jpg" width="240" height="207" alt="Publishing ClickOnce Deployment" /></a></p>
<p>My first reaction was oh damn, I don&#8217;t want to reinstall whatever it is that&#8217;s broken.<br />
My second smarter reaction was to google the error <img src='http://www.mayvelous.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />
Found <a href="http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3770629&#038;SiteID=1" title="reference" rel="external">this post</a> on MSDN forums. </p>
<p>Basically, it was AVG Antivirus 8.0 that incorrectly identified and quarantined a required file as a Trojan.<br />
AVG Free marked the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Engine\setup.bin as a Trojan horse BackDoor.VB.DIY </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87407050@N00/2959337667/" title="AVG Free Virus Vault by kalongthayann, on Flickr" rel="external"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3145/2959337667_a1c3736f40_m.jpg" width="240" height="107" alt="AVG Free Virus Vault" /></a></p>
<p>Simply select the file and click the &#8216;Restore&#8217; button from AVG&#8217;s Virus Vault. (So glad I havn&#8217;t been emptying my vault!)</p>
<p>Once that little error was corrected, it was a simple matter to click &#8216;Publish Now&#8217; again and I was happily on my way to my first ever ClickOnce Deployment!<br />
I&#8217;m glad it wasn&#8217;t a serious problem requiring reinstalls. </p>
<p><strike>Some days, I wonder if I want to keep an antivirus program running on my computer.<br />
I don&#8217;t need much protection as I am careful in my mail box and I rarely visit websites out of google&#8217;s domain.<br />
Google Reader gets me everything I want to read anyway.<br />
</strike>Scratch that thought I lend my flash drive out to other people sometimes so it wouldn&#8217;t be a good idea to have no protection.<br />
I trust myself but you just can&#8217;t trust people&#8217;s machines.</p>

<p>Previously, to deploy a php application eg. wordpress, on Windows, we have to use something like <a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html" title="XAMPP" rel="external">XAMPP</a> (that&#8217;s what I used anyways) and the like, do some configurations, pull hair and throw some fits to be able to deploy successfully.</p>
<p>Now they&#8217;ve released this thing called <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/web/channel/products/WebApplicationInstaller.aspx" title="Microsoft Web Application Installer" rel="external">Microsoft Web Application Installer</a>, which is a freeware and suppose to ease those pain while deploying.</p>

<p>Hmmm&#8230;so&#8230;aheehee&#8230;what&#8217;s it called again? Right, MICROSOFT Web Application Installer. Sigh. I think installing xampp would be the best to get wordpress on my Vista. I tried twice but no luck; may be I&#8217;ll try this again later, just to satisfy my curiosity. Let me know if you have installed it successfully.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have reinstalled Visual Studio.Net 2003 just to work with some of the old .net 1.1 projects. This one project uses infragistics web components and I&#8217;m getting the error on those pages with infragistics controls.</p>
<p><strong>Program Version:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p># Infragistics NetAdvantage 2005 Volume2 + hotfixes<br />
# Visual Studio.Net 2003<br />
# Windows Vista Ultimate</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Problem:</strong></p>
<p>I have my project with valid references, building and running fine except while browsing to those pages with any reference to infragistics components I&#8217;m getting the compilation error as mentioned below.</p>
<p><strong>Error:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Compilation Error</strong><br />
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. </p>
<p>Compiler Error Message: BC30009: Reference required to assembly &#8216;Infragistics.WebUI.Shared.v5.2&#8242; containing the implemented interface &#8216;Infragistics.WebUI.Design.IGetClientSideEvents&#8217;. Add one to your project.<br />
Line 1:  <%@ Register TagPrefix="igsch" Namespace="Infragistics.WebUI.WebSchedule" Assembly="Infragistics.WebUI.WebDateChooser.v5.2, Version=5.2.20052.1039, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb" %></p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>In order to run applications that use the Infragistics Web Controls on your machine, you will need to set the Copy Local flag to True for the Infragistics.WebUI.Shared.dll Assembly. This is because that assembly is registered into the Global Assembly Cache by the Windows Forms products, but ASP.NET Web Applications, by default, do not look in the GAC to resolve assembly references at runtime. Therefore, the Infragistics.WebUI.Shared assembly must be copied to the local project directory in order to run the Web application under IIS.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want to make Infragistics.WebUI.Shared.dll copylocal property to true then, add the dll file in the bin folder and refresh your page, it will work but better to make CopyLocal property to true.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have never encountered this much pain in the arse customer than the current one before.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done twice/thrice more complicated and bigger projects than this project in the past but never ever had this much of discussions, arguments, back and forth explanations and long meetings after meetings with the customer before.</p>
<p>I grew a few white hairs after handling this project and going to grow some more since the project is no near to the closing stage. </p>
<p>I thought I&#8217;m 90% done after sending out the last build and the user manual. I&#8217;m only expecting minor bug fixes but NOOOOOOOO he just has to go change the whole damn lot and have to fix almost everything from the DB schema to almost every form.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all because of this F*ed up requirement spec and F*ed up customer to start with. I need a bad ass project manager to handle this kind of bad ass customer. Unfortunately, there is no proper project manager was assigned to this project, thinking it&#8217;s going to be a small one. I know I should<br />
turn myself into a bad ass bitch to take matters into my own hand but the problem is I can&#8217;t become the bad ass bitch; I don&#8217;t know how.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that easy to become a good &#8220;bad ass bitch&#8221; when you&#8217;re trying to become one. You need certain skill in that area as well. I&#8217;m terrible in that area. The most I can do is I start raising my voice and become angrier but there is no art/tactic in it. </p>
<p>My main problem is that the angrier I am, the quieter I become. I&#8217;ll just yell back a few words then I won&#8217;t talk anymore. I got mess up in the head that I can no longer put those mess into proper word. I need some trained/naturally talented bad arses to back me up with the arguments. I think I need to go take a course on the art of bitching. Let me know if anyone providing one. </p>
<p>Anyways, my boss is just so nice dealing with customers. He accepts anything if they pay for it. Ok, it&#8217;s actually a good thing if they pay for it but what if they don&#8217;t pay and just keep bullying me and dragging the project on and on? </p>
<p>There should be a time when we say, &#8220;That&#8217;s it, no more, we are done, no nil nada F* off!&#8221;, and close the damn project.</p>
<p>Anyways, I&#8217;ll have to do more analysis and effort sizing on the new changes. I&#8217;ll bitch more about it later. Bye!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t written about office muses for a while and thought I&#8217;ll write something about last week muses from our department. Here is the story.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3056/2686758533_3f3759a5f0_o.jpg" alt="Disc Stakka" align="right" />You see, we have this disc stakka where we stored all our department softwares. It&#8217;s attached to a spare box sitting on my desk and I kind of become an unofficial librarian. Whoever ask to borrow software from me, I&#8217;ll just eject the discs from the stakka and hand it to them. There is no record of how many discs we have and who borrowed them. The stakka itself is installed for everyone hence anybody can login to the box and eject any disc as they like. The result is we lost a few important discs over the months. I have no idea who took them but discs are obviously keep missing from the disc stakka. We sent a few notification emails to everyone in the office asking about the missing discs but nobody responded.</p>
<p>I kind of feel responsible about it since it was sitting on my desk and I am the one who is giving out the discs most of the time (unless ofcos they login to the box and eject the discs themselves when I&#8217;m away). The problem with me is that whenever I am into something or concentrating on a task at hand, I seriously don&#8217;t care about things happening around. I don&#8217;t see or hear anything unless someone pokes at me or waves in front of face. Even so, I don&#8217;t hear half of the thing they are saying. So when someone asks a disc from me while I am busy, I just remove the disc and give it to them without looking at their faces or noting their names. That must be one of the reasons people take advantage of my ignorance to snatch some discs from me.</p>
<p>Anyways, last week we had a very loud and noisy discussing about how to maintain our softwares. Most of my colleagues say not to borrow software to anybody outside our department. Our HR manager disagrees and wants everyone to share the software the company owns. (Ok, I wasn&#8217;t in the discussion/arguments as it was happening at one of our colleagues&#8217; desk and I just over heard bits and pieces.) Finally we agree to properly keep track of the disc movement in some way. Boss made up a software borrowing register spreadsheet and mail it to everyone saying, unless and otherwise people fill in the register prior to picking up a disc, we are not to give it to them. But the spreadsheet was editable by everyone which is not a good idea so I created a form out of it and pass around the form. After checking the form, one of our colleagues argues that the form is very easy to fill and we like to make thing difficult for whoever comes to borrow our discs. So he suggested a few adjustments to the form.</p>
<p>Here are some of his suggestions:</p>
<blockquote><p>Way too easy, we need some pain here. Can we add some more fields :<br />
Put this under &#8220;<strong>Borrower Details</strong>&#8220;</p>
<ul>
<li>Weight (kg)</li>
<li>Height (cm)</li>
<li>Eye colour (offer Green, Blue, Grey, Brown)</li>
<li>Blood Type (offer A, B, AB, O) (suggestion to add negative, positive as well)</li>
<li>Hair Colour (offer Black, Grey, Brown, Red, Blond)</li>
<li>Random Question from http://www.survey-machine.com/take_survey/627331 that we’ll change every week or so, we’ll start with no. 1 &#8220;Have you ever peed your pants after age 8?&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>Make all fields <strong>required</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There is a few more input from other colleagues as well such as &#8220;Do you have any recent health problem say in last 6 months?&#8221;, &#8220;Provide the medical certificate to prove your blood type&#8221;, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>How about that!? Is the form painful enough yet? Haha, I&#8217;m not sure how many borrowers will be able to fill in that form and surely throw some serious curses at us.</p>
<p>Anyways, I felt sorry for whoever have to fill in the form, and I did not implement those &#8220;Borrower Details&#8221; but left the simple form as below and see how things turn out. We had a few beta tests with our gang and now it is released to suva_everyone. One serious flaw we try to ignore is that anyone can login to the machine and remove the disc while I&#8217;m away from my desk. But for the time being, it&#8217;s doing quite well without complaint, a few minute ago, someone filled in the form and took 3 discs from me. I wonder how long this system will last though.</p>

<p>So how do you keep track of the softwares in your organization? Do share with us some of the cool systems you use in your company. And ofcos&#8217; you are most welcome to make suggestion to our system above as well. <img src='http://www.mayvelous.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This little apps, &#8220;<a href="http://openstreetmap.org" title="Open Street Map" rel="external">Open Street Map</a>&#8221; is getting popular among my colleagues and quite becoming the topic of discussion this morning. It&#8217;s all started from <a href="http://www.strangepants.com" title="strangepants" rel="external">strangepants</a> who pass on the word to my bro <a href="http://www.twitter.com/zatlite" title="zatlite" rel="external">zatlite</a> and now everyone at the office started adding street names for their residential areas. As for me, I just observed the site but haven&#8217;t done any actual work on it since almost every streets in our area has already been added by my bro. Anyways, here is how this cool little thing works.</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s a wiki sort of world street map where anyone can login to add/edit the streets in your region.</p>
<p>OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by people like you.</p>
<p>OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>To edit, you need to sign in first. Anyone can open an account there easily. You can also export the chosen map area into a few formats, (png, jpeg, svg, pdf, postscript) and can play around with the size, scale etc under &#8220;Export&#8221; tab.<br />
You can also write some diaries on it or do some GPS tracing.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2303/2496286981_0be80d0457_b.jpg" title="Suva Fiji on Open Street Map" rel="external" rel="lightbox[398]"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2303/2496286981_0be80d0457.jpg" alt="Suva Fiji on Open Street Map" /></a></p>
<p>Ofcos&#8217; if you are confused with how to do the tracing, you can always check out their <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Main_Page" title="Open Street Map" rel="external">wiki help</a> page. In the <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide" rel="external" title="Open Street Map Beginners Guide">Beginners&#8217; Guide</a>, there is an very well explained <a href="http://showmedo.com/videos/video?name=1800000&#038;fromSeriesID=180" title="Introduction video" rel="external">introductory video</a> for you to get started with. I&#8217;m also checking out the video and briefly reading through the steps.</p>
<p>I did ask my bro, who actually done editing on the map, to write a post about it since it&#8217;s quite interesting to play around but as usual the lazy slime just passed me the video and ignored my request. So here I am dropping a note to whoever out there love playing with maps to <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" title="Open Street Map" rel="external">check this site out</a>.</p>
<p>Ciao!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I install LLBLGen Pro 2.0 on Windows Vista, I got the following error and the installer rolled back itself.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Error:</strong><br />The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mayvelous/2290223644/" title="LLBLGen Installer Error 2869 by mayvelous, on Flickr" rel="external"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3047/2290223644_0c72cefe82_m.jpg" width="240" height="195" alt="LLBLGen Installer Error 2869" /></a></p>
<p>So I dig around the forum and found this solution from Otis.</p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li>Create a new .bat file in the same folder as the one the LLBLGenPro20.msi file is in.</li>
<li>Add the following text &#8216;msiexec /i LLBLGenPro20.msi&#8217; and save the file.</li>
<li>Right click the .bat file and select &#8216;Run as Administrator&#8217;.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>I tried doing as mentioned in the steps but I got the following message and couldn&#8217;t able to install it.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2273/2290223680_2966048d95_o.gif" title="Windows Installer Message" /></p>
<p>So I changed the Otis&#8217;s command to &#8216;<strong>msiexec /a LLBLGenPro20.msi</strong>&#8216; and run it directly from command line instead of right-click &#8211; run as administrator on the .bat file and it works!</p>
<p>If it still doesn&#8217;t work for you after following the above steps, I guess you better do these, disable UAC and enable XP compatibility mode as <a href="http://forums.asp.net/p/1022229/1388938.aspx#1388938" title="Installer Error 2869" rel="external">mentioned here</a>.</p>
