Duruthu Poya Day in Kelani Temple

We celebrate Duruthu Poya which falls on January month to memorise Gautama Buddha's first visit to Sri Lanka. This visit took place in the first year of Buddha's enlightenment.

Kelani Perahara is the most significant festival on this day.

Below photos have been captured from Kelaniya Temple on Duruthu Poya Day.

1 Year

It was almost one year for my blog on this 25th January. :)
Ohhh... it was on 25th..... 25th is a lucky day in my life, but not in January..... ;-)

Ahaahh... One thing I noticed just now, when I saw one of my friend's blog - Me and My Mouth. She has posted this on 25th January last year.

Rep2excel

Hi.. :)

After a long time............

Because I had 4 days holiday ;-) , I thought to write something on my blog....

These days, we are finding a software or a way to convert oracle reports to excel files. We searched for many.... but still we couldn't find the exact one that we want. So, we are searching and searching and searching for the best suitable one for our requirement.

One of the softwares we found was Rep2excel which has been developed for Oracle reports and can be used to convert Oracle (6i, 9i and 10g) report output (should be in HTML or HTMLCSS format) to an Excel file format. In addition, the output excel file can be accessed via browser and called from Oracle forms.

Keep in mind that, this is a win32 console application. But Rep2excel can be used on Linux environment installing Rep2excel and MS Office on a Windows server.

For more information, visit http://www.lv2000.com/rx/rep2excel.htm

We had only one problem with this, which was, it prints header details. In our original report, header details are displaying on every page, but we do not want it to be printed on excel file.

Although we had this issue, this is a fine and useful software :)......

Indeed, it's very useful.... :)

You can see Live Demo from this site http://www.lv2000.com/demos/rep2excel_demo1.htm

So, now you also can try this out..

Have a nice Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a Magic. Try it now - For Windows

1. An Indian discovered that noone can create a folder anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON".

2. Open an empty notepad file then type
Bush hid the facts
Save it (you can use any name for saving)
Close it and re-open it.

See what there are?

3. This was discovered by a Brazilian.
Open Microsoft word and type
=rand (200, 99)
and then press ENTER

See what happens......

;-)

Lectures Started

I couldn't write anything, cos my final year lectures were started. Have Requirement Engineering and Network Software Design for this semester and I know that I have to work hard for both of these subjects.

Requirement Engineering.....hmmm... a lot of theory but very important subject to be learnt.

Why do most of software products fail????
There are a lot of reasons... one thing is inconsistent and incomplete requirements and customer doesn't know what the customer really wants at the beginning, but when the product is developed, customer realizes what he actually wanted. That's the issue. So, the requirement engineer should have a talent to collect requirements properly.

Network Software Design.... obviously a valuable subject too... But, more difficult...
The more we read and study, the more we learn...
