			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was querying a table from FileMaker using DB Visualizer via JDBC/ODBC and I kept seeing error messages like this one:</p>
<p><code>Error getting value for: 19037/4: com.filemaker.jdbc.FMSQLException: [FileMaker][FileMaker JDBC] For input string: "?": ?</code></p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t figure out a good way to prevent it, so I looked at the row in the results it was mentioning e.g., 19037, then looked up the corresponding record in FileMaker, and noticed it had &#8220;?&#8221; instead of numbers in a number field.  So I replaced the &#8220;?&#8221; with 0 and now it seems to work.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I sealed my deck for the first time today.  Here are some things I&#8217;d wish I&#8217;d known, or that you should know:

I used Thompson&#8217;s WaterSeal &#8211; Waterproofer plus clear wood protector.
It&#8217;s not really clear, it made the deck quite dark.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sealed my deck for the first time today.  Here are some things I&#8217;d wish I&#8217;d known, or that you should know:</p>
<ul>
<li>I used Thompson&#8217;s WaterSeal &#8211; Waterproofer plus clear wood protector.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s not really clear, it made the deck quite dark.</li>
<li>It needs 48 hours to dry and the nighttime low can&#8217;t go below 50 degrees Fahrenheit so watch the weather carefully.</li>
<li>I tried to use as little as possible but it still took 3 gallons to cover my 400-500 square foot deck.  (The can said I&#8217;d only need 1.5 gallons)</li>
<li>Wear dish gloves, it will get on your hands and it&#8217;s hard to get off.</li>
<li>Buy an 8 dollar garden sprayer, I used it at the end but it would have saved me 4 hours, and it lets you apply a thinner coat.</li>
<li>Have mineral spirits (or paint thinner) on hand to clean up.</li>
<li>KEEP sealer far away from siding, don&#8217;t spray near siding.  Now I need to figure out how to get it off the siding <img src='http://www.answermysearches.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />   I think I&#8217;ll tape newspaper over the siding next time.</li>
<li>Spray towards deck if you have a choice, that way excess spray will coat the deck.</li>
</ul>

<p><code>Caught AttributeError while rendering: 'datetime.date' object has no attribute 'date'</code></p>
<p>Well, it turns out I had left the Django field as models.DateTimeField.  Once I actually switched it to models.DateField, everything worked fine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I downloaded <a href="ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/sra-nstant/reads/ByExp/sra/SRX/SRX032/SRX032362/SRR074287/">this file (SRR074287)</a> and wanted to convert it to FASTQ format.</p>
<p>I downloaded the <a href="http://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/sra.cgi?cmd=show&#038;f=software&#038;m=software&#038;s=software">SRA toolkit</a> and extracted it to a directory in my home directory.  However when I tried to run it I got this error:</p>
<p><code>$ ~/sratoolkit.2.1.2-centos_linux64/fastq-dump -A SRR074287<br />
2011-08-22T15:00:16 fastq-dump.2.1.2 err: table not found while opening manager within database module - failed to open 'SRR074287'</code></p>
<p>After some trial and error, running it like this seems to work:</p>
<p><code>$ ~/sratoolkit.2.1.2-centos_linux64/fastq-dump SRR074288.sra</code></p>
<p>There is <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK47540/#SRA_Download_Guid_B.5_Converting_SRA_for">some documentation here</a>, but it didn&#8217;t really explain what I did wrong, or why running it with the filename works.</p>
