Well, this has been a tough journey to hell and back. I though Pagination was hectic but then again comes searching simpleDB? Anyone out there with cool ideas will be greatly appreciated! it's been too long. But the journey is about to end! YAY!

A journey well traveled comes to an end! It was fantastic sometimes while it lasted BUT I guess its time to move on... There is so much out there. thesis completion, lovely people, horrible people, sympathies, celebrations, and all BUT hey, it's all good! ~~~~PEACE~~~~

WOW! this was a big one! I had such a fantastic holiday in the Hawaiian Islands of O'ahu and Maui. Hawaii is such a stunning place! September 13th to 24th, 2010 will be memorable throughout my entire little life! If anyone would really like to have the time of their lives, I would say GO to Hawaii, you don't even have to think twice. And without degenerating to name calling, I would say thank you so much...... you know who you are! ~~~~PEACE~~~

No. 1: Tue Sep. 7 I don't get jealous when I see my ex with somebody else... My mom always taught me to give my old toys to the less fortunate! ~~~ Dirk Venter OMG! he cracked me up completely!!! No. 2: Tue Sep. 7 Fuck the people, I am the people. ~~~ myself

in exactly 11 days from today, I will be at Cape Town International Airport heading to the beautiful Hawaiian islands! I have always imagined myself in one of the Hawaiian islands and little did I know that I will finally get to see two of the islands! I enjoyed my volcanism lessons in my high school Geography and now I will have an opportunity to see some of the dormant, active and/or extinct volcanoes in Hawaii. Well, what more can a man ask for?!?! anyway, it's time to get back to work now and watch this space for more info about the trip! :-)

I finally got my google-style pagination working with JSP and Java servlets. Damn the select count(*) is interesting in SimpleDB. you gotta do something like: SelectRequest request = new SelectRequest(); String select_Expression = "select count(*) from dllcloud"; request.withSelectExpression(select_Expression); try { service = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(accessKeyId, secretAccessKey); SelectResponse response = service.select(request); SelectResult result = response.getSelectResult(); List all_items = result.getItem(); for (Item item : all_items) { List attributeList = item.getAttribute(); for (Attribute attribute : attributeList) { if (attribute.isSetName()) { if (attribute.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Count")) { if (attribute.isSetValue()) { ...

If you have an insight with regards to Amazon Web Services, especially SimpleDB, your help will be appreciated! I am hitting walls with the google-style paging issue here but at least I have a theoretical algorithm that works fine though not yet integrated into my CODE.
