MDX Humor from Portugal
Pedro Alves, the very talented lead developer behind the Pentaho Community Dashboard Framework gave me a good chuckle with his high opinion of MDX as a language:
MDX is God’s gift to business language; When God created Adam and Eve he just spoke [Humanity].[All Members].Children . That’s how powerful MDX is. And Julian Hyde allowed to use it without being bound to microsoft.
If you haven’t checked out Pedro’s blog, definitely get over there. It’s a recent start but he’s already getting some great stuff posted.

Don’t post that! It’s the worst line in the world ever, I’ve banned him from ever repeating such cheesy lines, it brings the world of BI into disrepute.
Good stuff

Hi Nicholas,
First of all, congratulations for your great job in Pentaho Open Flash Chart. I have a related question that i post here because i think is the fastest way you read it. Sorry if it´s not the correct place.
We are working with P-OFC in the context of a full Pentaho solution, version 2.0.stable (by now). We need to implement an onclick event for pie-charts, and we have many problems due to versions. We know that your sample “ofc_piechart_ofc4j_onclick.xaction” is written for revision 2XX so it doesn´t work with v132 wich is the last version available in download section on “code.google”. Do we need to make our own .jar? What revison do you recommend us? Some advisement to take in account?
Any suggestion would be great!
Thanks in advance.
