Activating NDD on your Globe landline

NDD and IDD is not available by default on your new Globe landline to protect you from inadvertent charges due to calls to mobile phones and long distance numbers.

Note that these instructions are for Metro Manila accounts. To activate NDD, you need call 730-1000. The problem is, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) menu greets you at that number and there is no menu option to activate NDD. There is also no easy way to get to a human in the options. For credit card companies, I always use the "Report a lost card" option to reach an agent immediately. It appears there is no such shortcut with Globe's number. After several attempts at the menus, the way I got to an agent was to pretend to customize my plan and select the option that says the information is not helpful. Here's the guide:

730-1000 IVR Menu:
1 - English
1 - Globelines
1 - Customize your plan
1 - Customize your plan
2 - Not helpful
1- Talk to a customer agent

It will take about 3 minutes for the agent to verify your account details and put you on hold while they schedule the activation. NDD will be activated within 24 hours. The agent gave me these locking instructions.

Default PIN: 1234

Phone Lock: #5702 4-digit-PIN#
Phone Unlock: #5712 4-digit-PIN#
Change PIN: #575 Old-4-digit-PIN*New-4-digit-PIN**New-4-digit-PIN*#

iReport Default Date Parameter

If you want to set a default date for a jasperreports parameter, you can enter the following in the default value expression of the parameter. new Date() However, if you wanted the default to be relative from today, for example, 3 days ago, you will need to do go outside of the standard java date libraries (Date, Calendar) because JR parameter does not allow you to have multiple statements. You can write your own utility package or you can use Joda , a replacement library for the JDK date and time library. To use Joda in iReports, you need to extract the jar file and add it to Options -> Classpath. You may also drop the jar file in iReports' lib directory. You will also need to add this library to your application or report server. For setting a default date 5 days prior from today, use this: new org.joda.time.DateTime().minusDays(5).toDate() or this if you want the time part set to the beginning of the day: new org.joda.time.LocalDate().toDateTimeAtStartOfDay().minusDays(5).to...

Migrating Moniwiki to MoinMoin

I had been using Moniwiki for our company for a while because the installation was quite easy as it was PHP based. However, I found out that document versioning didn't really work. It may have been a configuration issue but I took this opportunity to take a look at MoinMoin, as it was being used by Ubuntu and looked well supported. The server was running Debian stable and MoinMoin was in the repositories. Installing was simple using aptitude. Configuration was a bit more involved as it required copying and editing files. The new wiki site was pleasantly more responsive. The next task was to move the data in Moniwiki to MoinMoin. Upon inspecting the data repositories, I realized that Moniwiki stored the data in individual files with the WikiWord as the filename while MoinMoin organized that data with the WikiWord as a directory with the actual content under the revisions directory. I cooked up a quick script to migrate the data. I also ran the previous file through a 'tr' to...

CI/CD for .NET Core

If you have a .NET API that you want to containerize, here are the steps to prepare it. Create docker image Push to repository Setup ECS The TLS 1.0 option is needed if your SQL Server database does not support TLS 1.2. The recommended option is to update your database to the secure protocol. You may also change sdk and aspnet version to 5.0 if you haven't updated to 6.0 yet. This Dockerfile uses a multi-stage build to get an optimal image size. Dockerfile FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS build-env WORKDIR /app # Copy csproj and restore as distinct layers COPY *.csproj ./ RUN dotnet restore # Copy everything else and build COPY . ./ RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o out # Build runtime image FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 WORKDIR /app # Enable TLS 1.0 RUN sed -i 's/DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2/DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1/g' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i 's/MinProtocol = TLSv1.2/MinProtocol = TLSv1/g' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i 's/DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2/DEFAULT@...
