Thanks to my friend, Gandos, he got me interested to use Maven after I read his blog post (It’s in Indonesian). After consulting to another friend, I think it’s a good idea to use Maven for the LabGence project.
The idea is also influenced from this question that I have, “What is the best practice to upload an open-source project?” and “What files that I should and probably shouldn’t upload?”.
I believe Maven can standardize the issue of libraries needed by the project, and also the build script needed. So I decided to give it a try.
Fortunately I found the best and brief introduction tutorial to Maven on JavaBrains.org, you might want to check it out.
I also created the following step by step notes for Mac OSX (which might be applicable also to Linux and other Unix OS). Continue reading →
It’s been several years since I have the eagerness to develop a clinical laboratory application. The reason is primarily because although I’m a professional software programmer/developer now, my bachelor degree was in Medical Technology.
Initially I was thinking of a LIS type of application, where the medtech can store the patients and test information in the database. But then I had the idea of taking it steps further, “Why not make it a smart application? Where it will be able to assist medtech by taking the patient’s profile and results history into account?”
Thus, the LabGence name is derived from “Laboratory Intelligence”, and it’s goal is to be the smart application that medtechs can rely on. Continue reading →
Well well, just on my last day of work in my co-op semester, I found out that one of my office friend has the Bose AE2i headphone.
What a pleasant surprise, it’s about time for me to post another headphone review also before the year 2011 ends. So I immediately borrow the headphone and give it a quick test. So, does the sound quality justify the price tag? Let’s see.. Continue reading →
Last June 2011 I started my 6-months internship (co-op) in American Airlines (AA) headquerters in Dallas/Fort-Worth, Texas. I’m so blessed to be part of the ADEPT 2011 program.
ADEPT stands for American Airlines Development Program for Technology, it is a two-year program designed to develop new hires for AA Information Technology Services (ITS). It was first started in 2006. The ADEPT members are recruited from different universities, in the 2011 class we had members from UT-Austin, UT-Arlington, UT-PanAm, Texas A&M, LSU, OU, etc.
So technically, I’m not a full ADEPT 2011 class member because I’m just having 6-month internship. But… for the whole six months I have been engaged in most of the courses, trainings, and programs they have, and that’s sweeet!
The purpose of this post is to give a picture of the ADEPT program from my perspective (co-op student from Northeastern University). Continue reading →
We all love good and commented codes, but most of us either don’t know how to write a good comment for our codes, or just plain lazy to write one.
In Java, JavaDoc is pretty much the industry standard when it comes to auto-generated code tool. And as a strong believer of good software development practice, I always put comments on my code.
To save time, I created this template for methods so I can always refresh myself about how to write a good JavaDoc for my code. These codes are taken from the Java SDK source codes, so talk about how the creator of the Java write their comments (no one can be more expert than them I suppose). Continue reading →
A couple of weeks ago I was so fortunate to get the opportunity working with the Android SDK development in my job (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 ).
Compared with Android mobile app development using the Adobe Flex 4.5, the Android SDK may be a bit more tricky to do, so to document my experience I created this blog post (and maybe some more posts in the future).
To start developing Android apps, we need to install the Eclipse ADT, Android SDK (obviously..), and setup the AVD. Continue reading →

Two weeks ago I got responsibility to load test the web application of the company where I work using JMeter.
It’s not the first time I heard about JMeter, because about two years ago I was involved in a large project that demands high availability and high number of concurrent users at the same time (talk about more than 3,000 branches nationwide).
However, it was my friend who was assigned to explore the capabilities of JMeter back then. I’m not sure how far he went with the load testing, and what was the problem with JMeter, but we end up utilizing IBM Rational Performance Tester. Continue reading →
