Adventures in Windows Search SDK
I’ve been set a task to create Full Text Search in our application. We’ve done some code before for a client using Indexing Service on Windows Server 2003 which was pretty easy, but most of our clients use Windows Server 2008. I know absolutely nothing about Windows Search so figured I’d document it from scratch for any other complete noobs out there!
Ok, first step is to download the Windows SDK for the Windows Search libraries (408.1 MB):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb980924.aspx
This SDK provides headers, libraries, tools, samples, VC++ 2010 compiler/CRT, and other resources to help you develop Windows applications using both native and managed technologies. This SDK supports developing on and for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows Server 2008, and targeting .NET Framework version 4 and down level versions to 2.0.
And the Windows Search SDK (which apparently includes some useful samples:

Lot’s of Loving in the Ulaanbaatar Loving Hut Vegan Restaurant
Today, the 3rd February 2012, we decided to take lunch in the Loving Hut vegan restaurant in Ulaanbaatar, on the corner of Sukhbaatar Square.
The entrance to the building is tricky, especially given the lack of door handle on the door. We deduced it was the right place because a sign on the door in bold yellow and pink distinctly said “Loving Hut”. I prised the door open as was welcomed by a grotty, half vacant, shopping precinct. Between a small room selling passport photos and a wooden door with Mongolian writing on it, was the stairwell entrance to the Loving Hut. It was pitch black.
An elderly lady ushered us in so we ventured into the darkness, but that was the last we saw of her. We made our way up stairs, stairs, and more stairs to the top of the building where there was fortunately more light. A left turn past a toilet and we were welcomed a room not dissimilar to how you’d expect a school canteen in Thailand to be. Still, it was welcoming and a few locals were sitting around enjoying soup.
We sat down in a booth with a table far too small for the seating, but fortunately with three of us we managed to cope. A fourth person would’ve had a 2 foot gap between seat and table.
The menu was basic with a combination of soups, dumplings, and stir fry’s. The drinks menu was short and it turned out the only juices that seemed to be available were cranberry and home made raisin. The same was true of the dumplings, as only one of four seemed to be available.
I opted for the available dumpling (Russian style), the home made raisin juice, and Goulash with soy meat.
The drinks were whipped up immediately and the food soon after. It’s worth mentioning this to be a novelty in Ulaanbaatar where even the posher westerner-focused places can be extremely slack. During a 3.5 hour stint at the nearby C&C Lounge Bar & Restaurant we had to wait an hour for the meal, 30 minutes a time for drinks, 45 minutes for desert, and God knows how long for the bill. Speedy service at The Loving Hut was a welcome change!
The raisin juice was warm which must be the norm in the Mongolian winter. It had ‘stuff’ floating in it which must’ve been some kind of raisin. It looked a bit strange but was drinkable if not a bit watery. The dumpling was fantastic and well made, and not as oily as others I’ve tried. The goulash was nice too. I wouldn’t say it was five star food, but it was certainly pleasantly palatable and thoroughly enjoyable. It was presented nicely with two neat balls of rice and grated carrot.
All in all a nice experience and great for a light lunch if you’re near Sukhbaatar Square. The best thing of all was the price, which in technical terms could be referred to as ‘filthy cheap’.
Enjoy the Loving Hut, Ulaanbaatar -

Australian Mining Giants to Deprive Mongolians of Way of Life?
I’ve read a number of recent articles about the effect of mining in Mongolia as foreign companies, such as Australia’s Rio Tinto, race to exploit the country’s rich natural resources. There are numerous claims that the Tavan Tolgoi (coal) mine and the recent Oyu Tolgoi (copper and gold) mine, located far from civilization in the Gobi desert, will threaten the livelihoods of traditional Mongolian herders. It is prophesized, by media journals, that these mines could lead to a strain in water supplies in the area, causing “desertification” and the “decreasing quality of vegetation”.
I hate to point out the obvious, but does it strike you as slightly ridiculous that these mines are causing desertification in a desert? And what vegetation, may I ask, grows in a desert? The last time I was in the Gobi, which was recently, I didn’t stumble over any fields of wheat or rainforests. I stumbled over a few boulders and spotted a camel, but that’s all there was in the “desertificated” desert. That’s if you don’t count the monolithic structures of the Tavan Tolgoi (TT) mine and the construction work and thousands of workers at Oyu Tolgoi which is an impressive sight to behold.
From what I’m led to believe, there really aren’t that many herders in the region of the mines. The Gobi is vast, and very sparse. The handful of herders that may reside in the region isn’t of huge significance, especially when you compare it to oil & gas ventures in other parts of the world that border on civilisation. The traditional Mongolian herder is by nature nomadic, so in the event of any water shortage in the area it’s likely they’ll stroll off to greener pastures. That’s if such a water shortage eventuates, and as yet I haven’t seen any reason why it would. It’s of equal possibility that the mining infrastructure could lead to a greater supply of water in the region.
So why are all these media moguls reporting of such risk? Should these claims be brushed under the carpet and ignored? I wouldn’t like to give a definitive answer on that as the risks may well be genuine to local herders and the immediate environment. I would, however, like to point out an environmental risk of far more significance –the levels of pollution in the capital city Ulaanbaatar.
Anyone visiting Ulaanbaatar (Ulan Bator, or ‘UB’ for short) in the winter months will be immediately confronted with the pollution which is rife and unavoidable. UB is the second most polluted city in the world, and in the winter months I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the first. To walk outside each morning it’s not the temperatures of up to -50 degrees Celsius that get to you, it’s the thick taste of oil and coal residue that hits the back of your throat. This is the product of a city struggling to keep warm. Over 50% of the population of Mongolia now live in the capital, and most retain a traditional lifestyle by living in a tent dwelling known as a ‘Ger’, heated by coal. Even the more modern buildings, offices, and hotels use oil and coal for heating despite the government now provided a hot water-based system. Add to this the fumes from the constantly congested traffic which struggles to get from place to place amidst deadlock and a cacophony of car horns. The city is shrouded in smog, and it defines the city.

jQuery TableSorter Error when table is empty – Error: ’0.length’ is null or not an object
I had an issue today with the jQuery TableSorter throwing an error when rendering an empty table.
This was my original code:
$("#results-table").tablesorter({ widthFixed: true, widgets: ['zebra'] }).tablesorterPager({ container: $("#pager"), positionFixed: false });
The error I was getting was:
Line: 3 Error: '0.length' is null or not an object
The solution I found was straight forward and requires you to check the number of table rows (tr tags) before calling the TableSorter scripts:
if ($("#results-table").find("tr").size() > 1)
{
$("#results-table")
.tablesorter({ widthFixed: true, widgets: ['zebra'] })
.tablesorterPager({ container: $("#pager"), positionFixed: false });
}
