Although its sole purpose is to go Bing!, the concept of such a machine appealed to me for no particular reason. Besides, I had a few electronic parts that I needed to test so I figured that a machine that goes Bing! was just as good as any.

A Machine That Goes Bing!
Some of you might remember the famous sketch from Monthy Python's The Meaning of Life featuring the machine that goes Bing!

Oracle Essbase Sample.Basic on olap4j & Saiku Analytics
The olap4j project has had a regain in momentum lately, when community contributor Mark Semsel joined the project and offered to do some work on making olap4j compatible with Oracle Essbase. This is a very interesting milestone. We can scratch one more backend vendor from our to-do list.Who knows what's next.. too soon to whisper SAS?
Stay tuned!

Unified DIFF from perforce changelist spec
Because this snippet is very useful when dealing with Perforce, I thought I'd share it real quick.
Ever wondered how to obtains a DIFF of a specific changelist spec? Try this.
($1 is the P4CLIENT name and $2 is the changeset spec)

P4CLIENT=$1 p4 opened -c $2 | sed -e 's/#.*$//' | P4CLIENT=$1 p4 -x - diff

Robot 02
Last month, I built my second robot, which I cleverly nicknamed Robot 02. Its name stands for... well the name says it all, really.
Pictured above, Robot 02 is my second attempt at building an autonomous robot capable of navigating around a room. I wanted it to go around obstacles and detect when it gets stuck so that it can act accordingly.

A tale of Mondrian and real time analytics
Back in April 2008, Julian Hyde, founder of Mondrian, extends a basic API to control the contents of member caches within the Mondrian OLAP engine. Its name, quite unsurprisingly, is CacheControl.There is a basic implementation available, yet that feature remains mostly unknown to most of the community.
Jump to December 2010. We are brainstorming on Mondrian 3.3 (today this feels like ages ago). We come up with those crazy ideas about enterprise integration, real time analytics and cool APIs / SPIs. One of these crazy ideas is: Wouldn't it be sweet to update Mondrian's member cache and do real time OLAP?
That's when we remember the old CacheControl API.
