I started working on a larger computer project at work the other day and decided it was time to become more organized. I did a quick search of web based Agile toolse and it came down to JIRA/Greenhoper or Agilefant. I had previously looked at Agilefant a while back but didn't have any success getting it installed. This time though with version 3.0 it worked like a charm. I was also able to get a trial vesion of JIRA/Greenhopper up and running. At worke we have JIRA/Greenhopper up and running but is is managed by another department which could present problems when trying to use it for smaller projects. So here's my breakdown of initial observations of the pros and cons of each within my work environment.

The other day I was using a full licensed version Adobe Acrobat X as part of the CS6 suite and it suddenly stopped working. The only solution that I found was to reinstall which was a pain. It happened again and I found another solution recently. The following solution is a lot easier to use but still a pain.

1. Make sure you are connected to the internet.
2. Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
3. Click on Help->Deactivate .

Here is a slick little function that I wrote the other day at work to create a filter on a table.

Pseudo code:

Requirements: The argument names must match the table column names.

Results: Returns a query of the filter table data.

Determine which arguments were passed into the function and add those into the query where statement.
