October 30, 2025 Roger Lacroix

Between 2020 and 2024, annual inflation in Canada & USA averaged roughly 4–5%, compared with about 2% in the preceding decade. The CPI surged in 2021–2022, reaching highs of around 8%, before slowing to about 3–4% by 2024 as interest rates rose and supply chains normalized. Despite this moderation, real purchasing power has declined, as […]

My Bad – Accessibility Features Were Missing

March 31, 2022 Roger Lacroix

And Now for Something Completely Different.

November 9, 2021 Roger Lacroix

I love that line from Monty Python which is from the film of the same name. Last week, someone emailed me about running MQ Visual Edit on Microsoft Surface Pro X. For those who don’t know, the Surface Pro X comes with a Microsoft SQ1 or SQ2 ARM processor. Yes, ARM CPU and not an […]

MacBook Pro, External Monitor, Display Link and Java

March 11, 2021 Roger Lacroix

Ok. Here’s a really weird one reported yesterday by a customer. If you are using a MacBook Pro with an external monitor (or 2) via Display Link and you try and run a Java GUI application, it will crash because the JVM thinks that it is running on a headless computer (no graphics driver). Therefore, […]

December 4, 2020 Roger Lacroix

The other day, an end-user contacted me saying that their MQAdmin had recently implemented IBM MQ AMS (Advanced Message Security) to some of their queue managers and that the end-user was having issues getting MQ Visual Edit working with those particular queue managers. Its too bad that the customer chose IBM MQ AMS over Capitalware’s […]
