SQLExplorer: Error parsing time

SQLite

I could not find any mention of this error with SQL Explorer (http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/)
but in some circumstances when using a DATETIME field - you can end up with an "Error parsing date" like this:

And it is not an issue with the SQLite driver (https://bitbucket.org/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/downloads/)

Assuming you have a table TEST:

CREATE TABLE TEST(TEST_ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,TEST_TIME DATETIME default "datetime('now')",TEST_LOG TEXT) ;

where you can add records like these:

insert into TEST (TEST_LOG) values ("TEST DATE ERROR PARSING")

If you attempt to do a simple select - you will get the error "error parsing date":

select TEST_ID, TEST_TIME TEST_DATE, TEST_LOG from TEST;

This command is perfectly valid under SQLite, or dBeaver, or another SQL client front end - but SQL Explorer (on Windows) may return this error parsing date.

Workaround

Now the workarounds:

select TEST_ID, strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", TEST_TIME) TEST_DATE, TEST_LOG from TEST;

Another option is to use:

select TEST_ID, datetime(TEST_TIME) TEST_DATE , TEST_LOG from TEST;

Digg has broken an ... axle ?!

Digg V4 ... At first it probably looked like a good idea, then there was the alpha phase (where most people thought to be a scam ) - but all geek are suckers for a newer version (see Bloggers Trade: Digg Launched New Digg)

Result ... Digg 4 is really, clearly a nightmare version and digg user (diggers) are running away... (including yours truly).

I don't care about the Double account creation issues with Facebook Connect issue, or the "Upcoming section" gone, or the missing bury button  ... (incidentally the report button also disappeared, meaning basically all spam links will stay forever) ... only positive point so far, the new design looks good (I give you that).

But what is upsetting me the most is that ALL my submitted links are lost, gone ?! (and I've been a digg user for over 2 years)

More information on the new version http://about.digg.com/blog/digg-version-4

Now If you'll excuse me ... I'm heading for my new account on reddit.com, thanks for reading

LinuxMint Isadora 9 LiveCD bug ?!

Using a LinuxMint "Live CD" when you're not at home and have to use another PC is pretty cool. Because you're sure not to mess with the user's settings accidentally, and do not have to bother if the PC has viruses or if it's slow at startup because it loads drivers ... and that's why I'm always carrying such CD when I go on vacation.

But today I thought I was going crazy : booting this particular PC from the LinuxMint Live CD/DVD Isadora 9 with only 2 devices attached Microsoft comfort curve Keyboard and Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse ; something really weird happened -- randomly the "up" key signal was sent about every 2-5 seconds (and believe me that's very annoying ...)

I confirmed the issue with "xev" and made a quickfix using "xmodmap" by disabling the keycode 111 (Up key).

I wonder if I'm the only one who has experienced this bug ?

Safari 5 bug with Google Analytics

Recently the new Safari 5 from Apple.com was available
but it seems to have a little issue loading www.google.com/analytics (see picture above)

Apparently from the Develop menu / Show Error Console the culprit is :

settings:19[The HTML that caused this error was generated by a script.] Unmatched encountered. Ignoring tag.

settings:21 is not allowed inside

Opera, blogger and still the "uploading picture" bug

I just updated my favorite web browser Opera (I was running version 10.10 and now I'm running 10.53) - first impression .... wow, it's a lot faster than before (kudos for that) but I still have this pesky issue when I'm blogging using blogger.com or draft.blogger.com - when I want to add a picture by uploading a new one ... there's simply no "choose file" button - the window looks like that (in blogger.com)

and same issue (with the new uploading feature of draft.blogger.com) the window looks different but same issue - no choose file button - but the bug seems to be known and reported.
