I really liked Michael’s article.
Take a look guys and don’t forget, Do right things, Do things right, Do things fast
See ya!
O suporte é razoavelmente bom, como toda empresa há funcionários bons e ruins, é claro.. que quando você fala que esta dando erro de Javascript na página e o procedimento necessário não pode prosseguir, e o amigo do suporte me fala que é erro do JAVA, você perde a fé em Deus devido ao suporte ser nível 2 (creio que o suporte nível 2 seja o pessoal com a parte técnica mais apurada).
Mas o que me incomoda, é o USO IRREVOGÁVEL do Internet Explorer 8 para que o procedimento de renovação de certificado digital funcione.
TEM QUE ser o 8, se você não tem você não faz, simples assim.
E o pior, é que mesmo com o IE 8 como pedem, você faz várias alterações na configuração do mesmo, e depois, mesmo assim, você não consegue fazer a renovação devido a um erro DESCONHECIDO! (ERRO 300) pela própria equipe técnica, que lhe dizem que seu pedido foi feito mas não tem como você pagar (claro que se você não paga é a mesma coisa que não fazer o procedimento) porque o boleto não é gerado.
Passei um dia INTEIRO e comecei outro da mesma forma, no telefone com a certisign.
Claro, o problema não é do suporte, afinal de contas apenas uma pessoa me disse a atrocidade do JAVA, mas o problema é a parte técnica, neste momento vemos que de duas, uma:
1. ou não temos profissionais qualificados tecnicamente para exercer tais funções perante o sistema
2. ou a certisign não tem condições de prestar este tipo de serviço (digo não tem COMPETÊNCIA para tal).
Eu pessoalmente fico com a opção número 2, afinal tenho plena certeza que poderiam ter um sistema que pudesse ser usado para fazer esta renovação, sem necessariamente precisar ficar preso a uma VERSÃO DE BROWSER!
Obs. disseram que o IE 9 pode ser usado pois HÁ CASOS (ridículo isso) em que o IE 9 funcionou perfeitamente. Claro, deixam claro que o IE 9 não é o padrão deles, mas que posso tentar sem problema algum.
Se fosse para começar o dia assim seria melhor eu nem sair da cama.
Do you know amazon EC2?
You are one of this guys that thinks about “cloud” all the time?
Whell.. I got say that at last 1-2 years before the “cloud” computing appears, amazon was thinking about “Elastic” and doing it.
Amazon Ec2 servers, can scale your project in minutes, automatically based on parameters that you can define, and scale it by code, using amazon Ec2 API.
If you think I’m getting some money from amazon to talk about it, I’m sorry, but I’m not.
The question is that I already worked into a project with amazon EC2 as our servers, and the result is fantastic.
It’s really fast to scale, in minutes we could have more than 20 instances up, with hard CPU or Memory, just the way we wants.
We has a script that checked the parameters, and based on this parameters, he started and stoped instances.
If you never gave a chance to amazon EC2, I guess you should start thinking about it… it’s cheap!
I never needed it before, but here is a good example of how list the top 10 linux folder by size.
I used it to check why one of my test servers was losing HD space so fast
# du -a /var | sort -n -r | head -n 10
The example will show the top 10 linux folders by size inside /var folder
you can replace /var by / if you want but this will take a long time to be processed.
See ya!
Sometimes I got some errors while trying to setup an database to get access through a network which has a very complex firewall and so I have to start “messing” around the listeners and other oracle network configuration that when I get it solved I have problems to make my Enterprise Manager to work, even restarting it after the modifications.
If you wants to make problems like that to disappears, here’s how to do (always works to me)
Change the default entries on the file ORACLE_HOME/hostname_sid/sysman/emd/targets.xml and ORACLE_HOME/hostname_sid/sysman/config/emoms.properties
Make the modifications you guess is necessary, like ports, oracle_home, SID, etc…
Now start the emctl again, and yeapp it will be working =]
*this action takes good minutes, like 10, 15 minutes
Thanks guys!
Hello guys!
Today I’m here with a simple but very powerful tool to backup high availability SQL Server databases, that almost ever can be shut down to perform an backup.
I work with oracle, but we have a huge sql server database that we are responsible about disk usage, so I decided to post this help to SQL Database buddies too.
If you need a quick backup (takes like 5 minutes to backup a 20gb+ database) and your database can’t be shut down, this is one option….
Those commands are SQL Commands, I run then on SQL Analyser.
USING TAPE
BACKUP DATABASE [MydataBase] TO Tape0 WITH NOINIT,NOWNLOAD,NAME = N’Bkp_MydatabseFull’,stats=10,NOFORMAT
USING DISK (pendrive by example)
BACKUP DATABASE [MydataBase] TO DISK = N’F:\MyBkpFolder\MydataBase.bak’ WITH NOFORMAT,INIT
You can use both too if necessary, but I just know the usage to same kind of target (DISK or Tape) by example.
BACKUP DATABASE [MydataBase] TO DISK = N’F:\MyBkpFolder\MydataBase.bak’, DISK = N’D:\MyBkpFolder\MydataBase.bak’ WITH NOFORMAT,INIT
I’ll upload soon more two tutorials that will be:
How get content of a Tape on windows (worked to me on Windows Server 2003) and how to move Disk backups to Tape
I hope it be useful to somebody
By the way, to know a few parameters and more examples visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186865.aspx (great resource)

Remote management is something really complex, trust me.
I’ve experience of 3 years taking care of remote projects and in EVERY project I got surprises that I really tough I was ready to work out.
A few years ago I always tough that the major problem I had working with remote teams was communication. But do a good time that we have being seeing a huge difference at communication, now is very cheap to use the phone, and the VOIP has a great performance (not like in the beginning), and the communication got easy, and I guess there is no excuse anymore to an “communication fail”.
Now, I’m sure that the second item in my list, got the first place, and it’s VERY hard to deal with it, the HUMAN FACTOR!
You must know that there’s lots and lots of developers in the market today, and you need to know how to “setup” a remote team, it’s pretty important that you choose with caution each member of your team, and even choosing the most perfects PERSON/DEVELOPER you will deal with huge problems, and to each HUGE problem, you MUST be ready to face it, because trust me, at last 1 of those items will happens to you:
I guess that any of this problems happens in any project, and you must be ready to work with it. I got confess that I already did 1 or 2 items of this list in a 2 projects I worked on as developer when I was starting my HOME-OFFICE projects, like 7 years ago.
The reasons to a person to bring you all this problems are:
Of course, please.. ALL THIS THINGS ARE RELATIVE, YOU CAN BE LUCK AND FIND PERFECT GUYS THAT WILL NOT GET ANY PROBLEM TO YOU, AND I KNOW MANY GUYS THAT DON’T DO IT, BUT you must face the truth.
Imagine this scenario:
You have a project, an small system that will track trucks on the road to check out if the drivers are doing the right route and to manager the truck “life-time” to avoid delivering spoiled products of a food company.
You got 6 months to build it from scratch, and you got setup the team, you will need like 6 guys to build it with you, so the first thing you do is to hire a guy you trust with solid skills (analyst and developer) to help you with scope and to pick up your “children’s” to work in the project.
Let’s be honest, a project with 6 guys is very small but you must know that 6 guys will not work equals, and that some of this guys, at last 30-35% of this guys will bring you a problem, some of those problems I reported above.
So what you do?
EVER wait for something to happen, PMBOK tells you to make your RISK MANAGEMENT, so do it and include the items I described and do a TRACK TASKS very well document, and you will have less headache.
That’s what I do today. I always did the risk analysis but not exactly to human factors, and now it’s saving my life and my projects, because by example when a dev can’t work with me anymore (or he’s trying to pressure me to get something) I have other guy to put in his place and I have a very detailed document with what the guy who leaves did and still has to do.
For sure that hiring a new person in a project has problems too, like by example, the person can take some time to understand the project and to cost more money that just saying “yes” to a pressure from the guy you fired, but in this case, the guy you hired will be working oriented in the tasks, and you will have everything well documented to him.
I’m very sure that other professionals maybe will not agree with me, but this what I do and this is what works like a charm to me today.
Hope listening something from you guys!
Olá amigos da area de Telecom !
Passei uma semana complicada pois precisei gerar as faturas telefonicas que hoje são enviadas com um layout proprio nosso, e que cada operadora de telefonia tem o “poder” de disponibilizar sua conta detalhada da maneira que lhe bem entender.
Enfim…. precisei disponibilziar a conta detalhada no formato FEBRABAN na qual eu não sabia de sua existência.
O formato FEBRABAN é um layout proposto pela Federação Brasileira de Bancos para unificar as contas de telefonia, e assim facilitar a vida do setor responsável em cuidar destes custos (quando digo cuidar não é pagar a fatura, e sim averiguar onde existem erros, quais setores gastam mais, quais tipos de ligação devem ser evitadas, etc….).
Para nos pessoas físicas e empresas de pequeno porte é uma bobagem, mas e empresas de médio e grande porte? Talvez você nunca parou para pensar MAS existem empresas que gastam facilmente de R$ 10.000,00 a R$80.000,00 mil reais de telefonia facilmente, e isso que não estou falando de empresas que existem no mercado hoje que gastam acima de R$500.000,00 ! (e não são poucas meu amigo) empresas estas disputadas a tiro entre as operadoras de telefonia.
Estou colocando aqui 2 layouts da FEBRABAN para faturas de TELECOM que existem hoje no mercado mas que você não vai achar por ai.
A mais fácil é o FEBRABAN V3R0 que tem inclusive no site da FEBRABAN, mas o layout FEBRABAN V2 este sim é raro e é ainda o mais utilizado no mercado de TELECOM.
Vale lembrar a preguiça das operadoras pois a versão 3 ja esta disponivel a MUITO TEMPO mas ninguem migrou as versões ainda!
É isso meus amigos, um abraço a todos e ate a próxima !
