Hi,
I'm using Django to serve up some XML. Part of the requirements is that my dates are formatted as follows: 1969-12-31T18:33:28-06:00
How can I output a DateField in Django in that format?

Do you know these moments when you:
stopped laughing at Dilbert, because you realize its true
spent evenings completing a project that never went into production
when requirements are blurry but the schedule is not

Hey guys,
My boss has some interesting requirements for his next project and insists that we try to implement some Crystal Reports on our Access database (on his computer) into a FrontPage document (for ease of maintenance). After that, he wants an MP3 to be embedded using a RealPlayer widget because that's the only one that he likes. I'm not really sure how to do any of this.
What's the best way to go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am preparing to submit my iPhone app for approval. This is my first time. One of the requirements is "Application URL".
I have done the following to create Application URL:
Click Foo-Info.plist
Right Click Information Property List"
Click "Add Row"
Select URL types
Expand "URL Types"
Expand Item 0
Type in "com.mycompany.Foo" in the Value field with "URL Identifier" key
I am wondering if I do this correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
(this is related to another question about implementation on iPhone)
I have a large image, size around 30000 (w) x 6000 (h) pixels. You may consider it's like a big map. I assume I need to crop it up into smaller tiles. Questions:
what is the tile strategy?
Requirements:
whole image (though cropped) can be scrolled up/down/left/right by swipes
zoom in (up to pixel-to-pixel) out (down to screen-fit-by-height) by the 2-finger operation
memory efficiency by lazy loading tiles
Thanks!
I am considering using the excellent looking Cocos2d for a motion graphics project.
However, Cocos2d is intended for games, rather than producing an MPEG stream.
Is it possible to save the output from a Cocos2d script to a MOV or MPG file?
Ideally this needs to be done in a direct manner, not using a screen capture
as this would not meet the requirements of the project.
Hopefully there are some cocos2d gurus out there :D Thanks!
Hi,
I want to develop an application that runs on any windows platform (XP, Vista, 7) but does not require a dependency like .NET Framework or JVM. I have given the other requirements below:
Runs in any windows platform
Must have GUI libraries to create windows/primitive controls
I also want the output file size of the application to be minimal (So cannot include .net frameword etc in the exe file)
Any suggestions for this requirement?
The other day I saw a colleague of mine using sort to sort a number of lines he copied from a text file.
I've been trying to reproduce it myself and I cannot seem to find how.
The requirements are as follow:
Use sort from command line, plus whatever else you need to add to configure input
Paste the text to be sorted from the clipboard
Get the sorted result in the console
This is not "programming" related as much as it is "software engineering" related.
I am required to produce an implementation for additional functionality to a complete system. All I am armed with is knowledge of the existing architecture and a functional spec with visual requirements, user stories and use cases. Is there a standardised way to go about this? I suck at documentation.
I am trying to setup a dev environment at home. My primary development environment is VS.NET 2008 (now it is VS 2010 Premium) with SQL Server 2008.
Objectives / Requirements :
- Should be simple and lightweight
- Should have a Visual Studio plugin (cost should be less than $50, if its not free)
- should work just fine with continuous integration systems like TFS and CruiseControl.NET
- VSS is not an option.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I'm looking for Linux embedded web browser, or preferably just a rendering object (it will not be used for actual browsing, just for displaying web based gui).
The requirements are:
Written in C (small footprint)
Support Dynamic HTML
Support Java script
Minimum dependencies on the libraries (although i understand that it can not be completely standalone)
No Dependency on X11 (i.e working with direct frame qui libraries)
So far i only found Embedded Konqueror. Any suggestions are welcomed, commercial solutions are OK, but open source is preferable.
I want to hash/encode a unique integer (database ID) to create a similarly unique string.
It needs to meet the following requirements:
Must start with a letter or number, and can contain only letters and numbers.
All letters in a container name must be lowercase.
Must be from 3 through 63 characters long (although the shorter the better)
The result does not need to be reversible, just repeatable - so a 1-way hash would be fine.
I am looking for a library which I can plug into a distributed application which implements any gossip-based membership protocol.
Such a library would allow me to send/receive membership lists, merge received membership lists, etc... Even better would be if the library implemented a protocol with performance O(logn) performance guarantees.
Does anyone know of any open source library like this? It doesn't need to meet all of the aforementioned requirements; even something partially implemented would be helpful.

Is there a definitive guide for special folders in windows? An internet search yielded just a few crumbs of information, e.g.
Wikipedia:Special Folders
Windows 7 Client Software Logo Program
What I'm looking for is an explanation of each folder, its intended purpose, usage scenarios and motivation for its existence (e.g. what does Local App settings provide for that App settings doesn't). A matrix/table of requirements/uses against folder would be handy I think.
Hi,
I am currently using JQuery's validation plugin for basic form validation such as required fields.
I want to add functionality so that when the user types in the username field, an ajax call is triggered to check whether the username is already taken. My requirements are:
Preferably integrate with JQuery Validation plugin, rather than writing a custom function
I want the lookup to occur on the nkeyup event
I want the lookup to be triggered approx 0.5 seconds after the keyup event has occurred.
Thanks!
When putting together a startup for Software Engineering web based applications/systems, what would you consider to be a good mix of talent, when trying to find partners?
This mix would involve defining the product and market, defining, implementing and validating requirements, and making the product polished and production ready.
And, of course, needing the fewest startup people as possible.
What approach is considered to be the best to store and manage video files? As databases are used for small textual data, are databases good enough to handle huge amounts of video/audio data? Are databases, the formidable solution?
Apart from size of hard disk space required for centrally managing video/audio/image content, what are the requirements of hosting such a server?
I've finally installed all the requirements (so i think!) of a Django project, and I'm trying to get a local install running on my Mac (OSX 10.4).

What is a good way to represent a collection of bits?
I have a set of various on/off toggles (thousands of them) and need to store and retrieve their state. The naïve implementation would be an array of booleans, but I'm wondering if there's a better way (better in terms of access speed and/or memory requirements).
I've found this BitArray implementation, but it's limited to 32 bits, which is not enough for this case.
I was wondering if there were any recommended free bug tracking and or ticketing software that integrates with Subversion. The only requirements are that the software runs on Windows(SQL Server backend and Windows Server). Thanks.
