Copying the content of a cell if compared values match

Useful Excel formula when you need to get the value of a column if it exists in another column.

For example, say I need to get the DescriptionA of an IdA and if the Id exists on another list (IdB), copy the descriptionA to the descriptionB. 

=IF(COUNTIF($C$2:$C$9,A2)=0,"",VLOOKUP(A2,$C$2:$D$9,2,FALSE))

The quickest way would be a SQL sentence and extract the information straight from the DB tables.. but if all you had was the spreadsheet, this works quite well.

Simple Javascript

Change menu item text

Simple way of changing a list element without needing to find the nth child, element, relative, etc...

var item = $jq('.region_menus a[href="/hiya/home"]');
item.text("Find Food here");

And that is it!

IndexOf function Not valid on IE8

Array.prototype.indexOf = function(obj, start) {

     for (var i = (start || 0), j = this.length; i < j; i++) {

         if (this[i] === obj) { return i; }

     }

     return -1;

}

2013 Scrum - Team's achievements after adopting Scrum

2014 New Year's Resolution

It's that time of the year again!

By definition, a New Year's resolution is a promise that you make yourself on the first day of the year to start/stop doing something during the rest of the year.

Unfortunately, promises to myself never seem to be working. So, I will try something different this time and post it on my blog. If I have any dignity or shame, then I should keep these public promises?

1. Lose 18 kg.
2. Get UK driver's license.
3. Keep unhappy out and happy in.
4. Career development.
5. Join a club of professional (hoping to find like-minded people to learn from and teach some).
6. Look more professional (trousers are falling, need new ones and is related with  3, 4 and 5).
7. Learn something new (language, dance, something).

I won't have more then ten items on the list, 'cause I do have a life.

Javascript is Sexy

I don't agree with the title of this blog post. I don't think JavaScript is sexy at all. Anyways... I have to learn Node.js for this unwanted child project at work. I have found a great site for learning JavaScript and it's relatives, and wanted to share it: JavaScriptIsSexy.

Enjoy!

Software

I will keep this one short.
There is so much crappy software being used out there (in the world) it makes me sick! Why can't we build it so that the world is a better place?

There is good software out there too... I just don't get to work on it, cause maintaining horrible stuff takes all of my time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
