Owely

Finally, I can write about project I was involved in since 2009.

The project name is Owely, and you can visit it at http://www.owely.com.

The idea of this nice little thing belongs to the friend of mine Igor Racyborynsky, you can find him using this link, and it is quite simple: create nice, simple, cross-platform screenshot sharing tool.

I must admit that we did it, but it was a long way. Started in .NET and now moved to Qt as client app platform and in PHP as web platform Owely became a good unordinary experience for me: team of three, agile, real, self-motivation.

Until now we got many positive feedbacks from the users on .NET version of the client app and I'm glad that we did a next great step in the Owely's life. Now it is cross-platform with the same functionality across different OSes.

Current version is stable enough, but we already see what should be improved.

So, hope you enjoy it, go to http://www.owely.com/download and replace ton of words with 1 screenshot.

Please follow Owley on Twitter and Facebook.

Debug: WER and WinDbg

Image
Windows Error Reporting (WER) provides a very useful information for debugging production issues, especially when it comes to the unhandled exceptions. CLR integrates WER seamlessly and gives everything you need to track the issue. WER generates an event log record which gives you a path to the .wer file. A common .wer file contains a section of Problem Signatures Sig[0].Name=Problem Signature 01 Sig[0].Value=WerTest.exe Sig[1].Name=Problem Signature 02 Sig[1].Value=1.0.0.0 Sig[2].Name=Problem Signature 03 Sig[2].Value=5b68a7e8 Sig[3].Name=Problem Signature 04 Sig[3].Value=WerTest Sig[4].Name=Problem Signature 05 Sig[4].Value=1.0.0.0 Sig[5].Name=Problem Signature 06 Sig[5].Value=5b68a7e8 Sig[6].Name=Problem Signature 07 Sig[6].Value=1 Sig[7].Name=Problem Signature 08 Sig[7].Value=5 Sig[8].Name=Problem Signature 09 Sig[8].Value=System.NotImplementedException Here Problem Signature 07 and Problem Signature 08 are very important pieces of information to find t...

Dev: PlantUML + VS Code + GitLab

Image
I was looking for a way to share some details of implementation with my colleagues and in the same time to have it as a documentation on which we could collaborate and evolve it. It also should have been visual to have a better understating on composition. I could of course draw it from scratch using any existing drawing tool, but since I had quite a lot of types to put on, I gave up on the idea of never-ending copy/pasting from code to the diagram. Fortunately, one of my colleagues suggested me to try PlantUML . I gave it a try using an online editor and was surprised by the efficiency and the speed my diagram started to get in shape. It's much more easier to write a text and the syntax is very intuitive, so why bother with drawing and aligning those boxes while you can just leave it on PlantUML? We did a quick additional research and found that there is also a neat VS Code Extension that allows to have a preview on every update. So the next target was to automate the gen...

BigData intro at Ciklum's Speakers' Corner

Image
On March 11th I was speaking at Ciklum's Speakers' Corner about introduction to the big data. First of all I'd like to thank the HR department of Ciklum especially Rimma and Alexandra  for giving me this opportunity and the great place at Ciklum's SkyPoint . And of course I'd like to thank the everyone who came to this event for very nice professional discussion and good questions. I really appreciate your feedback, I already see few areas where I could improve my presentation skills as well as to ameliorate the topic of discussion, I think it is very important to keep in touch with the audience. For me also, I was happy to talk about the things I'm interested in and to find the like-minded people which could be a good start for a big data community in Ukraine. The presentation it-self is available here .
