Comment on PHP Interoperability & PDM Works Enterprise by Louis-Philippe Huberdeau

Sadly, this is all the information I have. Since writing this post, I have been moving around quite a bit and no longer use PDMWorks. From what I can remember, I never had an issue calling methods once the COM object was created.

I wish I could help more.

Thanks for the info. I am trying to play with PHP and EPDM, and I have ran into a bit of a problem. I am able to create the COM object, and I am able to check some basic things with the COM object, but I am unable to connect to my Vault (either using LoginWindowsUser or Login). My PHP page just hangs. With my VB and C# projects I had to define a Server and a Database to connect to in a DLL and then I could use the login. Do I need to do anything similar in PHP? Do you have any more examples or websites that I could read up on with PHP and EPDM?

Comment on Code Release: PDM Works Enterprise Wrappers by Louis-Philippe Huberdeau

@Tim Hello, this blog moved around quite a lot over the years and I fear the initial file is completely lost. I had to dig into my mail archives to find the original files back and re-package them. The content may not be exactly the same as what it used to be, but it should be close enough. I hope it will be useful to you. Also, the file extension changed. Apparently, wordpress does not like .tgz, but is just file with .tar.gz.

I know this was a long time ago, if you still have it can you make the PDM Works Enterprise Wrappers avaliable again.

Comment on Refactoring sprint by Louis-Philippe Huberdeau

@Andreas Gohr Sometimes we need to work, other times we just need to discuss. It really depends on the mixture of people present. We arrived a bit later that we were supposed to in Boston on Saturday and decided to skip the last day of RCC to get to work faster. As we got organized a bit late in the morning and the event was not too close to the house, we figured we had already missed most of it and going for the recap was probably not so useful anyway. It would have been nice to see you there. How long did you stay?

I always wondered if you guys ever worked on your code on TikiFests. I only ever have you seen drinking

Too bad we missed each other in Boston.

Comment on The OPUS failure by Louis-Philippe Huberdeau

I have had this issue ever since the credit card company replaced my card with an RFID enabled one. For a while, I managed to arrange my wallet in a way that the OPUS card would be on one side and all other RFID cards on the other, this way I only had to open my wallet, not pull the card out. Then I had an issue with the card and the folks at service told me I should carry the card in a plastic protector, at which point, it would no longer fit.

These days, I rarely use public transits as almost everything is walking distance with some effort (or bixi distance in the summer).

Hi,

Another reason to be frustrated. RTL (not sure about STM) has changed their software in the card readers about 3 weeks ago. Now you cannot keep your bus pass in the wallet along with other cards like Mastercard with PayPass, VISA etc. If you wave your wallet near the reader nothing happens. Removing all cards but the bus pass helps. Having just one RFID-enabled card hear the bus pass blocks the reader.

I see many frustrated passengers. Having to take out the OPUS card, wave it, put it back…This increases the chances of losing your bus pass (which obviously means extra revenue for the bus company ).

Comment on Where ugly code lies by Chuck Brooks

Perhaps more strongly so in software development than in other economic activities, tomorrow never comes to revisit…quick fixes or whatever. No one can predict the future, and in spite of the spate of tools and libraries and frameworks and such like, development times only increase, exposing any initial overview to corrosive expansion. The ‘code rot’ seems to be an institutional effect related to an organization’s size, whose managers expect compensation based on ongoing process rather than a deliverable and operable end point. Whatever ‘architecture’ is, it too often becomes another facet of a perpetual motion machine.

@Chuck Brooks I think software development is interconnected with almost every other fields. If you're building a new product, marketing and requirement elicitation are very closely related and you're very likely to fail if you don't align your product right.
