Save your Kindle Highlights to Evernote with ClippingsConverter. Ahh, the Kindle. It's changed reading forever. It's a double-edged sword, of course: gone are the days of carrying stacks of books, since thousands can now fit in your pocket. On the other hand, purists lament the demise of the physical book, the smell of its pages, the lure of the library.
The comparisons between ebooks and paper books are sometwhat premature, however. The proof lies in the marginalia; or, rather, in the lack thereof. Try doing that on a Kindle. Sure, Amazon has a Highlights feature, allowing you to highlight a passage and view it later on a webpage , but that's really all you can do: look at them. Enter Clippings Converter , a simple tool that allows you to do more with your Kindle Highlights.

Photonic Gallery for Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, 500px, Zenfolio and Instagram. Photonic lets you use the WordPress gallery shortcode and super-charges it with a lot of added functionality.

This lets your plugins coexist. Bear in mind that if you deactivate Photonic you will have to remove all instances of this custom shortcode, something that is not required if you stick to the gallery shortcode.

I regularly get emails from young people, usually those with an interest in programming, who are trying to make decisions about school and/or their professional futures.
This post is for those young people. If you’re in your late teens or early twenties, you’ve grown up in a world that has come to idealize startups, their founders, and the people who go to work at them. If you’re in school, maybe you’ve felt pressure or been incentivized to drop out and join or start a company. If you’re already out in the working world, perhaps you feel that your non-startup job is in some way inadequate, or that you’re missing out on valuable experience and potential wealth. The generation you’ve grown up in has, for the past few years, teetered on the brink of being “lost”. Everyone’s path is different, and your choices are your own. A startup is just a means to an end.
I recently interviewed a young man. People are fulfilled by their work when they operate with a sense of purpose. Parting thoughts.

Currently an email continues on and on, as the recipient/others reply to it, but I can’t always see that there is a new addition, as it doesn’t come up as a new email — it remains in the original location by date. HuffPost. OmniFocus at Camp 1 Vineyard. This is the third in our Customer Stories series. Late last summer we traveled down to Rancho Alamo Camp 1 to talk to Michael Werk, owner and operator. Before (an alleged) retirement, Michael spent days traveling and directing commercials for TV. Now he’s owner/operator of a vineyard, winery, farm, and Bed & Breakfast.
Michael uses OmniFocus to directly support his vineyard and winery projects, and it can get pretty deep. The folder structure might seem a bit daunting at first glance, but multiple varietals over many years can lead to a lot of the same tasks, timeshifted by days, weeks, and years. It’s safe to say he has a system. The Story We talked to Michael in Los Alamos, CA. The Simple Reason Why Goodreads Is So Valuable to Amazon - Jordan Weissmann. A small fraction of Americans buy the vast majority of books in this country.
Goodreads gives Jeff Bezos & Co. a direct line into their thoughts and habits. (Reuters) Amazon is the king of online booksellers and, by most accounts, the most feared player in publishing. Yet last week it shelled out a reported $150 million to buy up Goodreads, a social network for book nerds with a devoted but far from enormous 16 million members. So why is most of the media convinced this is a brilliant deal? You've probably heard a few of the answers already. But there's a more fundamental issue at play here, too. The United States is not, sadly, a country of lit buffs. Or, to put it another way, according to Codex just 19 percent of Americans do 79 percent of all our (non-required) book readin'.
And the way those avid readers find their books is changing. The sorts of lit lovers who like to evangelize their favorite new novel are the same sorts of folks who tend to show up on Goodreads. How to: Compare the Data of Two Databases. This topic applies to: By using Visual Studio, you can compare the data that is contained in two databases. The databases that you compare are known as the source and the target. As the data is compared, a Data Manipulation Language (DML) script is generated, which you can use to synchronize the differing databases by updating some or all of the data on the target database. When the data comparison finishes, its results appear in the Data Compare window of Visual Studio. After the comparison finishes, you can take other steps: To compare data by using the New Data Comparison Wizard On the Data menu, point to Data Compare, and then click New Data Comparison.The New Data Comparison wizard appears. To compare data by using the Visual Studio automation model To view data differences After you compare the data in two databases, you can synchronize them by updating all or part of the target to match the source.
To update target data by using the Write Updates command. SQL Server Database Comparison Tool. Introduction I started working for my current employer five years ago. In the beginning, every time we created a new database object, we generated a script and then send it by mail to the person responsible for implementation. Two years ago, we started to use a Subversion server for versioning of source code and scripts. It is a much more better way to store and manage projects and databases (object scripts). Sometimes it happens that someone forgets to store all the objects on Subversion, especially when the project is huge, and therefore I decided to create a tool which will allow me (and other colleagues) to compare database schemas.
Background When I decided to create a tool for database schema comparison, I started investigation on what this tool should provide and how to generate and compare scripts. In this project, the first step is to get the URNs of the objects you want to script. Using the code This solution contains two projects. And a class: ObjectCompare form Login form History. Getting Started with SQL Server Database Unit Testing in SSDT - SQL Server Data Tools Team Blog.
Unit testing SQL Server databases with SSDT is very straightforward, although there are a couple of things to look out for. First you must have Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 Professional edition or higher installed. If you have Visual Studio 2010 Premium or Ultimate edition installed then the new SQL Server database unit testing installs alongside the existing database unit testing from Visual Studio. You can continue to use the old tools but you cannot mix database unit tests created by both versions in the same test project - more on this below. Test Projects and converting existing Test Projects SQL Server unit tests are created in a normal VB or C# Test project. The MSTest infrastructure is used to run the tests and view the results. If you have existing test projects containing database unit tests created with Visual Studio 2010 then you must convert these projects before working on them with SSDT.
SSDT introduces a new SQL Server Unit Test template and type. Defining Test Conditions. SQL Server Testing Tips. Verifying Database Code by Using SQL Server Unit Tests. You can use SQL Server unit tests to establish a baseline state for your database and then to verify any subsequent changes that you make to database objects. You can create tests that verify changes to any database object.
In addition, you can automatically generate stubs of Transact-SQL code that test database functions, triggers, and stored procedures. As you or your team members change the database schema, you can use these tests to verify whether the changes have broken existing functionality. You create SQL Server unit tests to complement the software unit tests that your software developers create.
Your unit tests can verify that the procedures succeed when they are expected to succeed and that procedures fail when they are expected to fail. Visual Studio Editions' Support for SQL Server Unit Tests The Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 integrated SQL Server Data Tools shell does not support SQL Server unit tests.

A testing framework for Microsoft SQL-Server. Database Testing: How to Regression Test a Relational Database. Relational database management systems (RDBMSs) often persist mission-critical data which is updated by many applications and potentially thousands if not millions of end users. Furthermore, they implement important functionality in the form of database methods (stored procedures, stored functions, and/or triggers) and database objects (e.g. Java or C# instances). The best way to ensure the continuing quality of these assets, at least from a technical point of view, you should have a full regression test suite which you can run on a regular basis. In this article I argue for a fully automated, continuous regression testing based approach to database testing. Just as agile software developers take this approach to their application code, see Agile Testing and Quality Strategies, we should also do the same for our databases.
