After installing the latest version of SOD with Enterprise Guide 6.1 on Virtual Box and finding it really slow, I decided to re-install the operating system I had on bootcamp to upgrade to 64-bit and see if it ran better native. When I downloaded the file to install it said it was not compatible with…
I’ve been working with SAS Enterprise Guide 6.1 with SAS On-Demand on Virtual Box and I can’t find much to complain about. It is slow, but since I’m usually doing 14 things at once, while I’m writing for a task to complete I can read an email, download a file or answer a phone call….
There was supposed to be a new SAS On-Demand in June so I put off downloading the latest version to prepare for my fall courses. When I went to download SAS Enterprise Guide, however, I saw that the upgrade had been postponed until July. Not sure what that will entail but since I had recently…
I was working on something for a client when The Invisible Developer walked into my office, looked over my shoulder at the code and said, “So, you’re a PHP programmer now?” I answered, “I’m a whatever-language-we-happen-to-need-at-the-moment programmer.” A year and a half ago, I took a look at Codecademy and was underwhelmed.

Spirit Lake: The Game is mostly an adventure game that teaches math. However, it has lots of Easter eggs, side quests and spin-offs added because hey, these are kids and sometimes they like to do something different and some of them have the attention span of an ant. Our idea is to make the game…
Intimidated by your latest programming task? Code taking longer than you think it should? Here’s a tip – When I was in college, flow charts were what the “cool kids in computer science” did – a phrase Darling Daughter Number One has informed me is oxymoronic. Seriously, when I took Fortran and Basic in school…
My saga on uploading and reading an older data set into SAS Web Editor 1. Use FTP to upload So, I did get my data uploaded to SAS Web Editor using ftp. Little hint here, if you are using Filezilla and having trouble connecting, check to make sure that Filezilla is not using sftp. Sometimes…
After dropping The Spoiled One off at the beach and setting a personal best for calls returned, I’m back on setting up data sets, assignments and more for the fall semester. So ….. I tried using the UPLOAD option from the menu in the SAS Web Editor and that was a sad failure. Next, I…
