The competition amont different information models in healthcare will never end. Yes, I know that there are many out there who think that a particular piece of work is so much better than the rest, and it is the feature of healthcare informatics. Sorry, I don’t agree. There are many other reasons, which I’d like [...]

Eclipse vs Intellij Idea
Posted in development on June 26, 2009 |
Once I used to love Intellij Idea. At the time it was the most insightful java development environment. It was clearly created by people who knew about Java development. Then I started working with Eclipse, and at first, the switch was hard. At the time, Idea had so many nice features that I was used [...]
A big fat thank you to Yavuz!!
Posted in development, IT on May 21, 2009 |
After pulling my hair off for hours, I was rescued. Yavuz found a way to start Tomcat automatically on Jaunty. The problem turned out to be about the default use of dash, instead of bash. Following the well known setup one is supposed to do sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh To get it working. Spent [...]
Reject dirty data! Don’t let it in, no matter what happens
Posted in development, healthcare on May 8, 2009 |
More of a note to myself. Just working on the JSF bindings of the soon to be announced openEHR framework, and due to nature of my persistence model, once bad data finds its way into db, it messes the whole form entry. It is possible to modify the persistence mechanism for immunity to bad data, [...]
How much can you scale incremental approaches?
Posted in development, IT on April 24, 2009 |
I can still remember a seminar I’ve been to during my master’s studies. It was about project management, and the speaker was a very experienced project manager from defence industry. When you are building a submarine, or a fighter jet, you don’t get to do many iterations! We are quite used to engineering projects in [...]
Things we forget about the database
Posted in development, IT on April 19, 2009 |
Like many of you out there, I’ve been involved in distributed, multi layer software development for some time. Starting with the first ever asp based web site I’ve developed in 96 or 97, I’ve built a lot of multilayer applications. In the process, I’ve gotten used to switching to new tools and approaches as long [...]
Extending markup mechanisms in web tier for better archetype bindings
Posted in development, healthcare on March 11, 2009 |
Ok, This is probably a weird title, but when you face the same situation that I am facing at the moment, it will make sense. That situation is, when you are working an a web based application with a decent web tier technology, and you are trying to bind the UI layer to a back [...]
Web development with Java
Posted in development on January 25, 2009 |
Now that’s a large topic. A very, very large topic. In case you are into Java web development, you are going to have to decide between millions of frameworks for similar tasks, and sometimes for the simplest and most obvious thing to do, you’ll have to introduce a whole framework into your project. The learning [...]
Tablelayout: some people still has some common sense left in them.
Posted in development on November 17, 2008 |
I’ve spent almost all day trying to write a small piece of code that would generate a form using an archetype as input. I had everything written, accept the code that would create the form. Would be a no brainer, right? Well if it is java swing that you are using, that is not the [...]

During the past 7 years, all .net developers somehow had to face the problems of users with no .net framework installed. We all faced it, we all dealt with it, and we all hate it! .Net framework itself is a COM component actually, and COM is a technology that has roots in OLE which goes [...]
