Month: June 2016

Masha’s typical school set. A wide thermos – for the “first” course, a plastic container – for salad, colorful plastic cubes – that’s ice. Almost every student carries such a special bag.

New post in my blog: Hybris 6 + Apache SOLR 6. #hybris #sap #solr #solr6 #hybris6

In a typical store, the men’s underwear department in the U.S. is quite different from what we are used to seeing in Russia.

Here, there’s a wild variety of tank tops worn under shirts. At the pool and the sea, people swim in shorts—rows and rows to suit any taste.

And socks – the photo shows men’s “no-show” socks with skulls and socks with a special thing on the heels to prevent chafing and slipping off.

In Homeland s05e11, there is a funny moment. There, a Russian spy and double agent is threatened that she will lose everything she has earned over ten years, if she does not act foolishly.

Then you forfeit your millions of dollars, the renown of what you’ve accomplished. Your dacha on the Black Sea…

Significant event. I have started a blog dedicated to SAP hybris development in English. It’s like a micro-hub on a specific topic.

From the major topics, I already have a couple of them about search improvement, one about a new promotions engine. There are no less than ten interesting posts in preparation, which I will be finalizing and posting over the weekends. Almost all of them are about hybris architecture and development.

The posts consist of the following sections:

* Situation – an introduction to the topic,

* Complexity – it’s not all that simple, known obstacles,

* Challenge – the single problem I’ve taken on to solve,

* Solution – the solution concept,

* Video – a video where I show how it works,

* Technical details – what has changed in the code and why.

So I hope everyone will find something useful for themselves.

All who are interested in hybris development – welcome.

English is not my native language, so if you see any mistakes, please tell me about them, and I will correct them.

I would appreciate a reshare and like.

Oh how interesting. I needed to extract a video from PowerPoint, and I discovered that all Office documents—XLSX, DOCX, PPTX—are stored as ZIP archives with folders inside, where media files and XML configuration are neatly organized. To extract all media files from any of these files, one simply needs to unzip the archive and peek into one of the folders.

This immediately opens up huge possibilities—for instance, one could transfer styles, footers, and headers from one document to another in one fell swoop, by simply copying. There’s also a separate ‘numbering’ file; it’s always troublesome. Word can do it too, but it’s somewhat glitchy there.
