As an April fools day joke this year, I posted a VI on LAVA that shows an implementation of a Functional Global that appears to not have any While Loop or For Loop around the Feedback Node. This trick was accomplished by making the While Loop very large (extending beyond the visible region of the [...]
One the reasons that NIWeek 2007 was the Best NIWeek Ever was that during the NIWeek 2007 Alliance Day keynote, NI showed a slide called “The LabVIEW Community Online” (shown above) which included JKI’s logo! This slide displayed the logos of various LabVIEW community websites, including discussion forums, blogs, etc. I was extremely [...]
One of the great things about LabVIEW is that it supports several platforms. However, being cross-platform is not always trivial, especially if your application is a stand-alone executable (as opposed to a reuse library distributed in source code form).
In order to decide whether you should be cross-platform compatible, first consider whether you need to. [...]
One the reasons that NIWeek 2007 was the Best NIWeek Ever was that we found out about a new easter egg (hidden feature) in LabVIEW 8.5.
Enter “SuperFunkyPrivateSpecialSecretForumStuff=LAVA” into your LabVIEW.ini file and you will see the LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects (LAVA) logo on your LabVIEW 8.5 splash screen
[UPDATE] Here is the t-shirt that [...]
I have a huge problem with password protected VIs. It gives people false assurance that nobody will be able to see the intellectual property contained in a VI’s block diagram (the source code).
The basis of my argument is that, behind the scenes, LabVIEW accesses a VI’s block diagram to recompile it for other platforms [...]
While you were busy installing LabVIEW 8.5 in the 5th dimension, alfa…

It’s been a long time since the heyday of high-tech IPOs that occurred in the late 1990’s, here in Silicon Valley. So, it’s very exciting that VMware (NYSE: VMW) is having its IPO this morning (Aug 14th, 2007).
Anyone who knows me (in a technical capacity) knows I LOVE LOVE LOVE (did I mention that [...]
All next week, I’ll be at NIWeek 2007, along with the rest of the JKI team. This year will be very exciting as there is a lot going on…
