Kreikkalaiset ymmärtävät ekonomiaa, onhan itse sanakin kreikkalaista alkuperää. ”Oikos” merkitsee kotia ja ”nomia” sen hoitamista – siis talous on nimenomaan kotiinpäin vetämistä.
Kävin viime viikolla Kreetalla. Mitään kriisitietoisuutta ei ollut nähtävissä. Matkailu on vähentynyt huomattavasti, mikä kreikkalaisella logiikalla tarkoittaa, että kunkin turistin kuuluu maksaa vastaavasti enemmän.
Ei puhettakaan, että olisin saanut 285 eurolla – joka on jokaisen suomalaisen osuus 1,6 miljardin Kreikka-lainasta – ilmaisia palveluita. Kerran sain aurinkotuolin maksutta.

Fuzzy warm feelings dissipate. Now the company has to get down to business and execute. The next 2-3 quarters are going to be critical to bedding down the changes the co-CEO’s have brought to the company. Prior to attending I asked SAP to surprise and delight me. They delivered. Now they need to do the same for their 90,000+ customers. Nothing else will satisfy.
Most of the keynote ’stuff’ was intentionally geared towards the Business Suite user. Given SAP now has four broad lines of business, it should devote at least some time to solutions that usually reach beyond the Global 2000.

Enough talk about that, let us dive in and see how Doc Raptor works. The example here today is going to be in Ruby (because that is what I write most of the time now), but since Doc Raptor is just a RESTful webservice, you can easily make it work with the language of your choice. The high level overview is that you create html tables, send them as a POST request to Doc Raptor, and get back an Excel document. Below, you can see the Ruby code necessary for such a request:

"It's been 7 years since I wrote DHTML Lemmings™. In internet-terms that's a lifetime; back in those days Firefox didn't exist yet (Mozilla Phoenix was on version 0.8 or something and IE6 was the dominant browser), we didn't have HTML5 or javascript libraries and web standards was just a grassroots movement. It was hard to make dynamic cross-browser things back then, yet I managed to create something that still works in browsers today."

"Noilta kymmenen vuoden takaisilta ajoilta kaipaan eniten sitä iloa, intoa ja ylpeyttä, mitä ala tuolloin itsestään löysi. Nyt tekeminen ei keskimäärin tunnu olevan enää niin hauskaa vaan paljon kaavamaisempaa ja virastomaisempaa. Rohkeaa yrittämistäkin onneksi on, mutta ryppyotsaisuutta on silti aivan liikaa.
Mutta mennyt aika ei palaa. On tämä intternet edelleen hienointa, mitä voisin kuvitella työkseni tekeväni."

"Viimeistä sosiaalisen median katsausta tehdessäni törmäsin muutamaan uuteen sosiaalisen median strategiaan ja ohjeistukseen, jotka ovat netissä vapaasti luettavissa. Kiinnostavaa niissä on tietysti se, mihin ne kannustavat ja ehkä vielä enemmän se, mitä ne kieltävät."

"Olen kuluneen vuoden aikana oppinut, että tietokirjan kustannussoppari ja kaunokirjallisen teoksen kustannussoppari hankitaan aivan eri tavoin.
Romaani kirjoitetaan valmiiksi (tai lähes valmiiksi), jonka jälkeen sitä tarjotaan kustantajalle. Tietokirjan kanssa kannattaa toimia näin:"

"In summary: remember that you simply cannot assume that everybody has support for JavaScript and Flash, that you have to think about what happens when support for either is missing, and that you need to consider how assistive technologies handle them. Also realise that you do not have to give users without JavaScript or Flash exactly the same experience, but you do need to give them something.
You do not, however, have to avoid JavaScript or Flash as long as you keep accessibility in mind."
