Say you have a large number of paper documents that you want to scan then extract the text from. Adobe Acrobat Professional offers the ability to batch process a folder of pdf files and OCR them and extract the text from them. http://www.tysonmaly.com/programming/how-to-clean-eye-glasses/ Wed, 11 May 2016 22:04:58 +0000 http://www.tysonmaly.com/programming/how-to-clean-eye-glasses/ Here is the simple method you can use to clean eye glasses. This method is safe and will not harm glasses with anti-reflective coatings. I have been using this method for years, and I told my co-worker about it. I did not give it much thought, but she said it works really well for her. So I decided to share it with everyone. I use to buy these lens cleaner wipes from the local pharmacy, but I found this method works much better. http://www.tysonmaly.com/programming/go/go-projects/ Thu, 21 Apr 2016 16:49:15 +0000 http://www.tysonmaly.com/programming/go/go-projects/ Go Projects Here is a very useful tip for finding go projects based on a keyword search. I recently had to parse a large number of Excel xlsx and xls files for a regulatory compliance request. I would have traditionally used a Perl module for this, but the version of the module for xlsx that I had was prone to some memory issues. Go does not really have a CPAN for those just learning golang. http://www.tysonmaly.com/model-view-controller-architecture-mvc/ Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:32:47 +0000 http://www.tysonmaly.com/model-view-controller-architecture-mvc/ The Model View Controller (MVC) pattern is very popular in the web applications world. Many web programmers might have a story about a web project that grew out of hand with messy asp or php pages. The html and scripting language can grow so close that you would need a designer and program handcuffed together to make a minor change to the system. This can present a major problem both for resources and for future maintenance.
