This section contains mostly articles migrated from my old Wordpress site. It was more of notes to myself that I hoped would help others. A few got quite popular. Who knew Oracle SQL was still so hot.

Anyway, I migrated them from wordpres to hugo, integrity suffered, Forgive the formatting please :)

We're going metric!

Did you know metric is the preferred system for all U.S. agencies, and required for interactions with commerce?

I feel fortunate that my employer is based in Australia. It’s continued to push me to re-evaluate my ethnocentric views of measure.

It started during a recent converation in our “Makers” channel discussing where and when we see imperial and metric measures used, some of them left the question there for us “Is the US really that averse to metric? Don’t they sometimes use both types of measures?”

Turns out the United States is already a “metric nation” and has been since 1880’s or 1970’s depending on your interpretation.

So if the U.S. Government is metric, why isn’t the nation?

Us. Me.

So read on to see how our household is moving forward!

New Name, Same Game

I’ve pushed some changes to this site to reflect an important change - my name! Moving forward I will be using the surname Webbinaro, which is the marriage of my wife’s family name and my own. Webb + Rendinaro = Webbinaro Now, despite the low-hanging joke for an SE and tech speaker it does not sound like webinar but rather Webb-i-nair-o, respecting the roots in my wife’s family surname. Although COVID-19 has slowed our process with the courts a bit, after 4 months of paper pushing we did it.

Oracle SQL: Use sysdate for start and end of previous month and year

Wow, that title is a mouthful. Basically i figured out how to use SYSDATE and some other temporal methods to automatically determine the first and last day of the previous month, or previous year. I needed this to hand off a canned query that can be used by many users without the need to constantly update the date parameters of the query. For instance “Show me sales totals for the previous month!

Getting Started with ACL in CakePHP

The ACL component of CakePHP can be a daunting undertaking for those new to CakePHP or ACLs. Once you take the plunge though you’ll never look back. The flexibility and power of the ACL component are worthy of your site, I promise. In order to help some fellow bakers into the water I wanted to offer some advice. What is ACL? ACL, or Access Control List is a common means to control access to applications or sites at a granular level.
