2 HD laptop setup - Best place to put Catalog, Cache, and Images??

If I have two 500GB 7200rpm hard drives in my MBP, what is the best place for LR3, the catalog/previews, ACRcache, and the image files themselves?
SATA3 connection for both HDs
Should the boot drive hold the app and cache, while the second drive hold the files and catalog?
Should the catalog and cache always stay on the same drive?
Does it matter at all where the image (raw) files sit?
Thanks!!

I'd just keep the images on a different drive with a 2 internal drive setup.

Where is the best place to put custom functions?

Hi,
I have a composition which has a number of symbols. I have to call some custom methods externally and was wondering where is the best place to put the custom methods?
I have seen posts that I should put the code in the CompositionReady event of the stage but I would like to put it a bit closer to the symbol.
Is this the best place?
Sham.

Here is a case:
It's a good idea if you well understand global and local variables.
About complete event, you are right.

Where is the best place to put cfqueries?

Where is the best place to put cfqueries, in the <head> </head> or before the html tag? Thanks

So before the doctype tag? Thanks
I just doesn't really matter. the doctype, head, body, etc only matter to the browser; the CF tags only matter to CF. The browser doesn't see the CFML, and CF doesn't care about the mark-up one bit: it just ignores it.
The best place - as I said - is not in the same file at all. But if you insist on slapping your business logic in with your display logic, then the only consideration is that you need to set your variables before you use them. Other than that: it simply doesn't matter.
One consideration you might make is - even if it's all thrown into the same one file - at least separate the file itself into sections: have all your CFML code that gets your data at the top, and try to limit the CFML you have mixed in with the mark-up, eg: limit it to stuff like loops and conditionals.
But, seriously, separate your concerns. Dan's pretty much just wrong when he said it's over-engineering. It's just sloppy to not to write tidy, well-maintained, well-organised code.

Best place to put cffunctions?

Hi All,
I've created a cffunction which I need to access more or less from every page. Where is the best place to put it?
Can I put it in the Application.cfc? If yes how, and how can I call it from a page?
Thanks!

Just realize if you are putting the function into the session scope, each and every user is getting an entire copy of the function in the server's memory.
Depending on the purpose of the function and how you are using it, this may or may not be a lot of memory used up unnecessarily.
If the function is something that each user does not need their very own copy then it might make more sense to put it into the application scope. Then there would be one copy of the function that all users utilize. You could, of course, do that in the OnApplicaitonStart() function of the Application.cfc.
I agree with Ian that Dan's advice in this case is suboptimal.
The only things that should go in the session scope are things that specifically related to the session. Which is not the case here.

The best place to put the global parameter

hello:
i am now studying the petstore1.3,and find that the global parameters are kept in the servlet context,i wonder if it is a good solution.in my project,i seldom use the servlet context,session context etc,i feel more like to put the global parameter in a singleton that is loaded when the app is started. i don't know where is the best place to put the global parameter,servlet context or singleton?

thanks for your answer.
1 do your mean that the singleton can be shared among the different "war"
packages if both of them are within the same jvm?if yes,must they be in the
same "ear" package?
2 if my app is deployed in the weblogic cluster environment,which one can be
shared? singleton or servlet context?

Best place for LR catalog (.lrcat) file?

I'm putting together a new PC running Vista and am trying to figure out the best place for the LR catalog (lrcat) file. This PC has multiple hard drives as follows:
C: OS and apps
D: non-photo files (docs, mp3s, etc)
E: photo files
F: video files
All the drives are comparable in read/write speed. The Lightroom app will be installed on the C: drive, and the LR catalog will consist of the images on the E: drive. While working in LR, I sometimes listen to mp3s stored on the D: drive. I'm assuming that the best place for the lrcat file is the F: drive (since I seldom access that drive while working in LR). Does this make sense? Or should the lrcat file go somewhere else?
On a side note, on my last PC, I had the lrcat file in what was originally a dedicated scratch drive (for PS), but I'm doing less and less in Photoshop these days, and my new system will have 12GB of ram, so I decided to do without a dedicated scratch drive for the new system.
Any advise appreciated.

Asking yourself the following questions may help determine which drive is best suited for storing the Lightroom Catalog:
1) Are you the only person using the "Lightroom computer"?
2) Do you have multiple log on accounts?
3) Do multiple log on accounts need access to the Lightroom Catalog?
If you answer yes to #1, its default location might be fine. If you answer yes to #2 or #3, you should concider a central location for the .lrcat file.
By default, the .lrcat file is located in a users document folder. This means that at least one (1) .lrcat file will be created per user account. Seeing that you usually keep photo files on the E Drive, creating a folder on the root of the E Drive might not be a bad idea. Using the root of E schema will then allow mutiple users to access the .lrcat file when they log on. Using the E Drive keeps "photo related" files together, thought Drive D or Drive F would also work. It appears from your description that you keep O/S and Applications only on the C Drive, which I do myself.
Hope that helps!

Where is the best place to put programs to start on X/Openbox startup?

Hi,
There are several places to put programs to startup when you start X or a WM. I'm using Openbox and presently have placed these into my .xinitrc file, but I'm not sure this really the best place. Openbox has a autostart file, which sorta looks like a better bet.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Jon

Hadn't heard of consolekit; it's not clear to me from looking at their website what it's supposed to be offering? Maybe after it matures more, the documentation will improve, and all will become clear.
When I used Openbox, I just launched everything such as conky from the Openbox autostart file. I guess if you had a weird set up such as some of your Openbox configs sitting on unmounted partitions, their mount commands would go in .xinitrc, otherwise autostart.sh seems better.
Just IMO of course, do what you want on your own machine :-)

Where is the best place to put music for itunes

I have just downloaded Itunes
I have a lot of music I want to add to the Itunes Program
Where do I store the music I have in the Windows 7 there is a folder called music
do I place all the folders into this (Music Folder)
and then have Itunes find the music folder and add them into the program
Is the best way to do it.
Over time I will add more songs do I just keep placing them into the music folder and have Itunes fiund the new songs and add?
I need your assistance
THanks
Mike

iTunes will not find files, you need to add them to your library.
launch iTunes, go preferences > advanced and verify the copy files ... when adding and keep ... organized options are checkmarked.
next, look inside the iTunes folder for a subfolder called automatically add to iTunes. drop your music files in there. when iTunes has finished adding the files to your library, you may delete the original files.

Best place to put validation code?

Hey,
When using jsp and html forms for passing information from the
client to the server, where should i put the validation code? Is
it better to put the code in the bjc4 classes or to make some
FormHandler.jsp which checks wheter correct values/types typed
in the form by the user?
If i put the code in the bc4j classes, how can i then interact
with user, when he makes an error?
thx

The question is the classic stand off between resuablity and
modularity and user interface.
If you put the validation code in the client (jsp) then the user
sees the error quickly and it is relatively painless. However,
if the rules change, you must change ALL of the clients that
enforce that rule.
If you put it in the middle-tier then there is the delay in the
user feedback. The middle-tier will only validate the code on
some sort of post. However, your validation code will be in only
one place and therefore easy to maintain over time.
So what's the solution. I suggest for JSPs a combination. If the
rule is a real business rule then it needs to be validated in
the middle-tier. If it is something that is prone to user typing
error and is simple enough to be enforced within html, then it
should go there also. You must remember that those client based
rules can spread and your maintenance effort will go up.

Best place to put shared folders

Switching from pc to mac. In windows you have a "shared folders" folder for all accounts and under each account a public shared folder. Where would I put the "shared folders" folder? at the HD root?

I usually recommend the bootdrive -> Users ->Shared folder.

Best place to put startup code in EJB deployment?

Hi,
I'm working on an application which involves timer services and JMX, and I'd like to ask for your opinion on how to deal with startup of those services in an EJB deployment. If you dealt with those issues before, I'd appreciate it if you could share your experiences/best practices on the subject.
Timer services need to be started, and MBeans need to be registered with the MBeanServer, so I'd like to see how can this be done upon application deployment.
I'm using Sun Server as an EJB server.
Thanks,
Mark

Since the ejb spec doesn't define an application initialization event, the only portable way of doing this that I've heard of is to use the ServletContextListener.contextInitialized() event to send a message to an MDB within the same application. Since EJB Timers are persistent and their identity is tied to a particular application component, the MDB's onMessage method can use getTimers() to see whether the timer already exists. If not, it's the first time the application has been deployed.
I agree the auto-creation of timers upon deployment would be a good addition to the spec :-)

Best place to put the event listener?

Hey there!
I am loading several images using a loop. My question is, would it be better to put the "contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE..." in the loop so it loads the compelte handler each time it goes through the loop, or is it fine to put it outside of the loop at the end?
Also, could you explain the reason for your answer?
Thanks!

alright. here is what I have:

My ipad is disabled and i never connected it before to a laptop i only used wifi and everytime time i try to connect it to the laptop it tells me to put the passcode and i cant even do it

i had my ipad a while ago and the screen is damaged and i sent it to be replaced and when it got bk it gave the message ipad is disabled
when i tried to connect it to itunes it gave me a message cannot read the ipad it has to be unlocked first and its not even allowing me to do that on the ipad itself

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset and resync your content to it.
If you do it via a computer theat it hsan't been synced to (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

What is the best way to put links in an image?

I have created an image with multiple layers and many of the
layers are the text I would like to use as links. When I sliced up
the image using layer based slices, the end result was a degraded
image.
The page I am working on with the slice marks affecting it
can be seen at:

What is the best way to create a series of links in an image?
The jpeg version of the image I am working on is at:

http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/ingigharbor/image/form-banner.psd
The html version is at:
http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/ingigharbor/test.html
I can't wait to hear from you experts as to the best way to
do this!
thanks,
Mike

Where did you get this page? It is a melange of ImageReady,
GoLive, and who
knows what else, loaded with invalid usages, and other
oddities....
Anyhow, the first link shows me no slice marks - what am I
looking for
there?
Normally, one would use an image map (use DW's F1 help to
look for
"hotspot") to do something like this.
