SAP ABAP /h Debugging Trick
I learned this ABAP debugging trick to add, edit, delete or update a table record during my stay in my previous company. This trick will work as long as you have the authorization to force value into variables during debugging, which, usually an ABAPer will have in Development or QAS server.
Let’s go into SE16. Take Sales Order table VBAK for example.
Double click any line and goes into the details single record view, type /h and hit enter twice.
The variable CODE was originally having a value of ‘SHOW’. You can edit the value of the variable to ‘EDIT’, ‘INSR’, ‘DELE’ and ‘ANVO’. The name of the value is quite self explanatory, ANVO is for editing the record including the keys ( which I’ve never used ).
Hit F8 and there, you’re in the EDIT mode. Remember to hit the Save button when you’re done thou.
It’s useful to use this trick when you’re trying to maintain a table when you can’t use SM30 to do it. This is one of my favourite ABAP trick 
How to search Google’s images with color
Here’s some interesting stuff I’ve come across these few days! The Poignant Guide to Ruby is highly recommended. P/S: Ruby is a programming language.
Oh, today I just discovered that Google allows color search.
For example, you search for Fire. Your query looks like this
http://images.google.com.sg/images?q=fire
but but..I want much hotter fire I said, I want blue fire!
So you add a imgcolor=blue to the query.
http://images.google.com.sg/images?q=fire&imgcolor=blue
And there you got your blue fire.
You could also combine colors search with comma.
http://images.google.com.sg/images?q=fire&imgcolor=blue,pink
Alternatively, you can just query for blue fire 
Anyway, my point is I discovered Google could do that today!
Ok, I find the fire option a bit lame. Let’s have another more pratical example. Say I wanted to search for a laptop with erm..pink color, rather than browsing through a whole 10 pages of search results, I specify pink color and I get what I want, I’m happy, Google is happy.
P/S: If you’re curious and interested in how Google’s image color recolonization algorithm work, visit this paper(pdf) published by Google engineers Henry Rowley, Shumeet Baluja, and Dr. Yushi Jing.
