  • What's the power of spending more time every day in your IT career ?

    What's the power of spending more time every day in your IT career ?
    When you do the research to find the factors of the successful people, you'll find that they ALWAYS spent a lot of time every day in their businesses.
    The IT technologies change so fast and explode. The performance of IT people with 20 years experiences can be EASILY catched up by a IT people, maybe you, who has only 6 or 7 years or even less if you spend over 80 hours or even more every week on your job and on the latest technologies.
    The reasons are listed below:
    1. The out-of-date IT technologies is no use anymore. It's like the out-of-date IT books. The people with 20 years experience can't rely on his last experience any more.
    2. If you spend 80 hours every week, you'll absorb doubled the knowledge and experience than the people who spends only 40 hours every week. You may catch up with him who has 20 years experiences with your 10 years experiences. Not only this, most of your knowledge and experiences are newer and useful than his.
    3. Because you spend 80 hours, you have plenty of time to focus on your tasks. When the task comes in, you may finish your tasks many times faster than him and you may be the only person who still has the time to do any extra or urgent tasks. Because you have more time, you may prepare your next task to be ready to finish your next task even faster and you may absorb the latest IT technologies from a learner level to an expert level while other people is still doing his tasks. And due to your more spare time to learn the technologies all the time needed to do your task, you have much more knowledge needed to do your task and can finish your task much faster than others.
    According to my experience, if the comparison of the knowledge the worker has is 1 to 5, the real hours needed to finish a task may be 1 to 10. In IT field, if you know how to do it, you need minutes, but if you don't know how to do it, you need months to do the error-try or starting to learn it and do it. Please notice that the knowledge can be used for many times and the 1 to 5 and 1 to 10 comparisons will repeat again and again. Without spending more time on getting more knowledge, the comparison of 1 to 10 is still happening.
    4. Like trying to save the money, most of his 40 hours will be spent on his tasks. He may have only 5 hours left to learn new IT technologies. If you still need to spend the same time to finish your tasks like him, you still will have 45 hours to learn new technologies. You grow 9 times, 5 hours to 45 hours, faster than him. If you keep working and learning the new IT technologies 80 hours every week, you'll find that you'll need much less than 35 hours like him, you may have 60 or even more hours every week to do more tasks to get more experiences and to learn more latest technologies.
    ----- Someone asked me after read the above "You're absolutely right, but, what motivation can make people do that ?". I told him that "Don't ask me. Ask your boss" -----

    1) LabVIEW is a graphical based programming environment and
    LabWindows/CVI is a C based programming environment.  Both can be used
    for similar tasks.  Users familiar with C may prefer CVI.  LabVIEW is
    typically easier to learn if you are unfamiliar with both.
     2) 
    The Run-Time Engine is a separate component that can be installed to
    execute LabWindows/CVI programs and LabVIEW programs.  It is free of
    charge for both LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
    3)  
    LabWindows/CVI does not convert any LabVIEW programs into C code. 
    LabVIEW programs are already compiled as you write them, so you won't
    need to convert them to C to use them.  You should see similar
    performance in similar LabVIEW and CVI code.

  • Want to change payment methods, it says: 'we're processing your order'. For 3 days already. In 2 days my subscription ends.

    I've had earlier issues with changing my creditcard data, eventually that worked, and the person I spoke with in the chat said everything would be fine with my subscription.
    Now, it says I should've had a bill 2 days ago to renew my subscription, but I didn't. So I clicked 'add payment info' and it says: 'We are processing your order'. But it's saying that for 3 days now, and my subscription ends in 2 days. So if it's not fixed by then I'm damn lost 'cause my work depends on Photoshop.
    What am I supposed to do now? I just want to pay the bill so I can use Creative Cloud.

  • Leaving your mac on during the day

    hi
    i am a teacher and i turn my laptop on first thing in the morning and then leave for maybe 10 hours or more. is it best for me to turn off my laptop or just let it go to sleep? it is worth noting that i turn my laptop on as soon as i get home and then before i go to bed....is all that restarting hard on it?
    and, sometimes when i let my laptop sleep---for just a few hours (like 1-2 hours)--it won't wake up and i need to push the power button to turn it off and restart it. is that a weird glitch or a symptom of a problem? please let it be a glitch! lol
    thank you!

    i don't leave it running during the day--i turn it off before i leave for work. then when i get home i turn it on and then off before i go to bed.
    i 'heard' somewhere that it's better to leave your computer on than to restart it all the time. i was wondering if i should do something different.
    i guess i'll have to call tech about the sleep issue. sigh.

  • Anyway to Exchange Your Phone after the 14 Day Grace Period but under 30 Days.

       I bought my phone on the 2nd of this month so it has been 20 days under 30. I wasnt sure if the HTC One was ever going to come out as it has been pushed back since July. I would like to exchange my phone, has anyone been able to do this in the past? If so, how?

    You can only exchange the phone during the 14 day worry free guarantee period.  The only devices I know of that have an exception are iphones purchased directly through apple then they get a 30 day period. 
    You could add another line to your account for the HTC One when it's released or pay full retail for it.

  • Time capsule? Firstly I want to know if you can update your back-ups on a day-to-day basis? And is it possible to update another/different MacBook everyday from that same back-up?

    The situation is my parents have a business and each have a MacBook, they want a system where they share files with each other. BUT they want it to be done automatically on a day to day basis. For example if my dad creates a quotation for a client of his, and my mom wants to come home with the laptop to work on this file. What must happen is that before my dad leaves, he backs up his MacBook to the Time Capsule (only the new files get updated) and then my mom will then click a button and it will update the new files that my dad has backed up to the Time Capsule. BUT it should also work the other way around.
    So in short they want a system where whatever new files they create on their MacBook will be saved on the other MacBook simultaneously.
    They do not want to create a central server where they manually have to go and save and fetch new files, they want it to be automatic. They want to in layman's terms, work on one pc image with two actual computers.
    Is this even possible?? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me in this matter before my dad goes and spends a lot of money on something that might not even be feasible.
    Kind Regards
    Mark

    I understand what you want.. but it is the wrong way to do it.
    You will get into a mess with using TM this way. It is designed for backup of individual machines.. you are trying to use it for a file server.
    They do not want to create a central server where they manually have to go and save and fetch new files, they want it to be automatic.
    The ironic thing is you are trying to use Time Machine as a central server.. only it is not.
    A central server is exactly the right way to do it. But it can be done automatically.. you just use some synchonisation software. (Central server means you all work on the same files and you have centralised backup)
    http://mac-sync-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
    Using some cloud method would be the other suggestion.. but I am not sure exactly how to do it. I have lousy internet so cloud is really too hard to use for storage.. but Apple do lots of stuff to help people with cloud to synchronize fies.

  • Check your book carefully after upgrading!

    I have a book that I started in iPhoto '09 and now upgraded to iPhoto '11 and I had to go through it page by page after I noticed a few things were changed...
    - in a few spots, photo were swapped. I noticed this because captions underneath a few photos didn't match the photo anymore
    - fonts in a few spots went back to the default, rather than the custom font I picked.
    The font thing is a much larger issue though. iPhoto doesn't seem to handle fonts the same way anymore. Instead of using a set font for different elements which can be changed in a dialog box (like a style sheet), you can now change the font settings on a per-element basis. Now this opens up more options for customization, which is good, but also makes it a major pain if you want different fonts and to have it all match throughout the book - it actually makes more work.

    this is strictly a user to user forum and speculation about Apple decisions or release dates is expressly prohibited by the TOU
    We can only help you with how to use the program as it sits
    I wish I could go back to iPhoto 9!
    Easy - load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library and reinstall iPhoto '09 from the original disks - reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

  • I need your help: Career Advice

    Make your own lab. Build your experience.

    Hello,
    I have been part of a lot of IT online communities and I have to admit, this one is the most civil and helpful.
    So, I have been in IT for almost 2 years now. I worked mostly helpdesk position and during that time I got Comptia A+ cert, CCNA R&S and I am still Helpdesk type of work, with some Server and Network admin responsibilities'. I would like to be a Systems Engineer someday. Right now I can take apart a server and build it back up.
    With that said, I still want a better position with more responsibilities..so, should I go to a 2 yesr college and get a systems admin degree? More certifications? I am thinking MCSA 2012.
    Is there a right or wrong way of going about this? Thank you guys.

    Could you please provide more technical specification on this line?

    It's simple - the application manager software will contact Adobe's liensing servers and check if your AdobeID has a valid subscription or not.
