  • Archcon 2010 talk summary now available

    You can now review the summaries of ArchCon talks. Not all talks have been posted yet, but you can get an overview of some of the fun things you'll be able to see and discuss at ArchCon this year.
    Because I was late getting these up, I've extended the earlybird registration deadline to this Friday (March 5). Review the talks, and if you like what you see, register now to save $50 on registration!
    ArchCon is going to be a blast, hope to see you all there!

    It might also entice more people to the next ArchCon if they see what they're missing. (I suppose it could have the opposite effect too )
    Of course, if someone could pull of live streaming with an interactive setup for Q&A, that would be even more impressive and appreciated.
    Regardless of the videos, it looks like the whole thing is shaping up nicely. Well done and keep up the good work!

  • ArchCon 2010 Videos

    I was able to attend day one of ArchCon 2010 but was summoned home later in the evening preventing me from attending day two.  Spur of the moment I decided to see what my new(ish) HTC Incredible could do as far as video recording.  Here is the list disclaimers and caveats:
    *  It's a phone that did the recording.
    *  I am not a videographer and as you will see, I will never have the talent necessary to be one.
    *  Being that it is a phone, I had to prop it up using a Coke can.
    *  Sometimes I forgot to start recording until a few minutes into a presentation.
    *  You will need to turn the volume up considerably.
    *  I accidentally recorded Dan's talk in half resolution.
    *  Something happened with the file for Dieter's talk on AIF.  I nearly deleted it because VLC, SMPlayer, and MediaInfo all report there is no sound.  I found that avidemux plays the file back with sound, but I have not been able to find a way to convert or transcode the file so it will play back with common media players.
    *  These are hosted on my personal account w/ DreamHost.  They claim I have unlimited bandwidth, but we'll see.  If anybobdy want to, or thinks it is worth it, to mirror / torrent these, feel free.
    *  I asked Dusty about posting these and he said it would be fine.
    *  I did the best I could under the circumstances and with my limited experience with the video recording functionality of the phone.

    Only my talk and Dan's are available so far, I think the quality is about the same as DStein's, maybe a bit better audio but lesser video, from a different angle. Maybe someone would like to mix them. ;-)
    Remaining videos will be posted over the coming week or so. I am too tired to add more right now, I need a nap. Too many late nights and early mornings the last little while. ;-)

    We did have someone recording all but one of the talks with a real camera, We'll be posting them later in the week, but I make no promises about audio quality or anything like that. There will also be photos going up. Keep an eye on http://archlinux.ca/archcon2010/

  • Desperate for Delay function - Deadline fast approaching...

    I am trying to do what I suspect is easy, and I've searched
    but not come up with what I need to do.
    In my project, I have 4 nav buttons in a nav bar. Press on
    one and it calls a .swf file that animates the actual pressed
    button photo larger onto the main area of the screen, so it's no
    longer part of the main nav bar. I would like the user to be able
    to click another nav button (still in the nav bar), and the
    animation reverses itself - the large photo goes back to a small
    icon for the navigation bar, then the newly clicked button enlarges
    into the main area. Make sense?
    What I've done so far is to add the code below:
    This works great to call up the correct swf on clicking a
    button. Unfortunately, I don't know how to allow time for the
    reversing of the animation before jumping to the newly selected
    area.
    As of now, each called swf animates the button image
    enlarging on screen, submenus slide out of it, then it hits a
    "stop" in the timeline. What I want to happen is when the user
    clicks on a different nav bar button, it releases the playhead from
    the stop in the loaded swf, it plays through reversed frames,
    making the large image shrink back into its place in the nav bar,
    and the subsequent new button expands to fill the area. Maybe not
    the best way to achieve what I want, but all I've come up with so
    far.
    So, is there a way to tell Flash to release the playhead (in
    the called .swf file), play 105 frames and THEN jump to the correct
    section based on what the user clicked in the nav bar?
    Please be gentle with me. I'm quite new to AS, so please
    SPEAK SLOWLY : ) I've experimented with setInterval and getTimer,
    but those are over my head. I don't understand how to use them and
    how to integrate with my existing code as shown above. I think what
    I want is pretty easy, but I'm getting very frustrated making it
    work.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. My hair is turning gray fast
    enough on it's own - I don't need Flash's help with that!
    Hope this makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll try
    to explain it better.

    The code that you're showing is AS2 and this is the AS3
    forum. In any case, what you want to do is fairly simple to
    achieve. One way to make this work is to keep track of the current
    button and the button that's just been pressed. When you press the
    first button, animate it. Store its name in a variable.
    When you press the second button, animate the first button
    back. When that button has finished, tell the second button to
    animate and store its name in the variable. It might look something
    like this:

  • Deadline fast approaching, need help

    If I have 2 InternalFrames that can call the same class,
    How can I find out which Internalframe the call came from.
    Thanks
    Jim

    this is assuming that the program structure that you are looking for is like this:
    The two InternalFrames are seperate instantitation of the same class, and that they call the other class seperatley.
    that those seperate instantiations of the other class have knowledge of each calling class, and that the calling class has the ability to be identified.
    I would use a String to store "name" for the class and make sure it is not static. If it is then when you change one you change them all. Then you can make set/get methods for that String, and you can have a constructor that can set the "name" variable too.
    If I understand your question right, then your InternalFame class will have to pass a reference to themselves to the class constructor/method that they are calling. Otherwise the class the was called by the two InternalFrames would not have anyu sort of handle to reference the InternalFrame class.
    Finally, if you want the infromation about the calling object inside of the called class to be visible to each instantiation of that class then it should store the InternalFrame refrence in an static data-structure that can store multiple objects (ie Vector, Object[], ...)
    to sum it up:
    --in InternalFrame use an identifier variable (your choice) but don't use static variables if the 2 classes are of the same type
    --In InternalFrame when you are constructing the "other class" pass a reference of the the "calling class" to the class that is getting called.
    --in the "other class" store the references in a static variable that can hold multiple objects. 
    hope this helps.

  • Faster approach

    Hi experts,
    In my database(9i) i have 1 table which is containing nearly 10 crore(100 million) data within it. In that
    table 6 crore(6 million) data is not required right now. But there presence is causing some performance issue.
    What will be best approach to deal with the situation
    1> Make partition of the original table.
    2> Make a view on that table and let other application collect data from that view.
    3> Delete the data from the table. (Which i actually don't want. Because in future i may need that and deletion of such data from a live database will create huge performance impact when the delete ststement will execute).
    Tell me in your view which is the most acceptable one. If you have some other option please share with me.
    Thanks and Regards
    Rajat

    Your subject line could be a little more detailed about your problem.
    Do you have a license for partitioning? If you are a vendor, would your customers? Partitioning is an expensive extra cost item.
    A little more detail about the nature of the table data would probably be helpful also are the numbers you are giving us row counts or size in megabytes. Six million rows is not large, depending on the row size. Size in megabytes is usually more an indication of performance issues rather than row counts.
    If you need to keep the low use or no current use data then moving it to a history table might be an option.
    Partitioning might be an option but does the data have a useful partitioning key that would work well with the existing application queries. If you would need global indexes that, in my opinion, defeats most of the benefits to partitioning.
    Do you need to remove the old data while the table is available or can you get a window.

  • How to identify fields which are fast approaching the size limits

    Hi All,
    Is there an easy (or any) way of identifying Database fields whose field sizes are close to the limits.
    Example: I have field called SEQ_NUM, size of the field is 3 and currently latest value in the filed is 995, soon it will be a 1000.
    Thanks
    Raghu

    Hi, Raghu,
    Assuming your statistics are up to date, you can start with the information in the data dictionary view user_tab_columns (or all_tab_columns, or dba_tab_columns).
    The column high_value is a RAW representing the highest value. There's a conversion function in the supplied package utl_raw.
    The column data_precision is the maximum number of digits, and data_scale is the number of them to the right of the decimal point
    SELECT     table_name
    ,     column_name
    ,     utl_raw.cast_to_number (high_value)     AS actual_high
    ,     POWER (10, data_precision - data_scale)     AS possible_high
    FROM     user_tab_columns
    WHERE     data_type     = 'NUMBER'
    AND      ( utl_raw.cast_to_number (high_value)          -- actual_high
          / POWER (10, data_precision - data_scale)     -- possible_high
          ) > .95      -- or whatever
    ;I'm sure there are lots of special cases (large negative numbers, for example) that this will not catch.

  • Using CS4 in a CS3 Training Course?

    I've just acquired DW CS4. I have website experience, but none with DW. Our local tech school is offering a course in DW, but it's based on CS3 and that's the software we'll be using in class. I asked about potential training problems, but the registration office couldn't help and the instructor has not responded. Registration deadline is fast approaching...
    For those familiar with both versions, do you think a DW newbie could beneift from such a course? Be totally lost? Not worth the time/cost?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    It depends what you hope to get out of the course - and the quality of the instructor.
    Dreamweaver CS4 has added new features, such as Live View, Related Files, and the Code Navigator. It also has two modes for the Property inspector: HTML and CSS, whereas CS3 has a single mode.
    I teach Dreamweaver at an authorized training centre in London (Highlander), and was very frustrated having to continue teaching on CS3 for the first three months after the release of CS4. My frustration was based on the fact that I think CS4 is so much better. However, earlier this year, I was asked to teach a course on Dreamweaver MX, which is about seven years old. In many ways, I was pleasantly surprised, because there is a great deal of continuity in Dreamweaver. Although I missed the features that I now use on a daily basis, the older version was reassuringly familiar.
    The real issue is the quality and skill of the instructor. To get the most out of Dreamweaver, you need a solid understanding of HTML and CSS. If the instructor simply goes through the motions of teaching you what the various bits and pieces of Dreamweaver do, it will be a waste of time. It will also be a waste of time if the course teaches you old-fashioned techniques, such as table-based layout, and using "layers" (AP Divs) for layout. The difference in versions of Dreamweaver, in short, is the least of your concerns.

    Re: Oracle Forms
    I urgently need help with Oracle Forms and Reports. Do you do consulting on an
    hourly basis? If so, how much do you charge? Is there a minimum?
    I am a student in a master's program for database admin and development. As
    part of a what has turned out be a rather ambitious project, I built a
    database on Oracle8i (UNIX), and developed the front end tools using Oracle
    Developer 9i. The project deadline is fast approaching, and although most of
    the development is done, I need help with very specific questions to get the
    application and final report ready for presentation next week, on Thursday,
    5th of December.
    Specifically, I need help with the following:
    * how to attach a report to the main menu
    * how to attach a form to the main menu
    * how to make graphics that can be seen in the paper layout, also visible in a
    web report
    * how to generate pie charts using the graphics tool
    For some reason, my email address displays as 'null' in the Oracle newsgroup interface,
    and there doesn't seem to be an intuitive way to change that on the prefs page.

  • Need to ungroup objects in anchored frames

    Hi all,
    Going round and round in circles with this one...and have found other posts around anchored frames, but not this issue.
    I created a book (file) with a lot of grouped images (screenshots, arrows, annotations - composed and grouped on clean area).
    I created anchored frames, cut and pasted the groups INTO the anchored frames.
    So far so good.
    Six months later, I need to update the book (it is now a book in InDesign terms, so I was only coping with one section at a time).
    I can select each item inside the group using the direct selection tool - so where just a bit of text in an annotation needs to change, that's what I'm doing.
    I also need, though, to update some of the screenshots, add new arrows and new annotations (which are just small text boxes).
    Nothing I do lets me ungroup the object so I can replace the screenshot and then regroup them.
    I have tried releasing the anchored frame, but that doesn't help.
    I've tried using the direct selection tool on the frame contents to try to copy it out of the frame, but ungroup remains stubbornly greyed-out.
    I've resorted to using the direct selection tool to copy each element individually out onto a clean area, put the new screenshot in the middle, group them all and then re-insert into an anchored frame. One screenshot, one arrow, one caption = nuisance, but OK. One screenshot, 20 arrows, 20 captions = real pain.
    Because my deadline is fast approaching, I've just been superimposing the extra arrows and annotations - which will do to create the PDF, but I need to sort it out at some point or I'm going to have a nightmare the next time around with floating arrows all over the place.
    I must be missing something, but what?
    Wrong selection tool at wrong time?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alison

    It was the stacking problem that really took me to the "copy them out one by one" phase as I needed to replace something that was originally obove some elements but below others. For example,one page originally had two partial screenshots, now it has three. I need to insert one into a layer between the first two (basically, I'm shorf of space on a printed document, and the bottom right section of each screen is blank so I'm taking advantage of that space to overlap).
    can delete the "original" top image, then put the two in in the correct order, but I'm covering the arrow heads...by the time I get to this stage, it's as quick to start again comosing a new group.
    I'm not putting so much in anchored frames this time around - I thought it would save me time, but it isn't.

  • OMF Export issue in Premiere CS6

    Hello,
    I am trying to export a feature length OMF file for my sound mixer. I have the tracks I want on and selected. I then do File - Export - OMF. I do encapsulated audio, with 60 frame handles. I then start the export. I encodes through the files then it starts "generating metadata" and making its "First Pass Parsing Tracks", but it will immediatly jump to about 1/3 of the way through and just sit there. I have left it for about 3 hours and it still sits there. I have tried saving to various folders/hard drives and still no luck. I have seen people having problems with the omf working with other programs, but I haven't seen many people with this problem. Deadline is fast approaching and I desperately need to get this out to my sound mixer. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
    Tony

    Hi Anthony,
    I'm using Premier Pro 6 from the creative cloud, and am also doing a feature length doc.  I'm having issues exporting an OMF and it originally came from FCP 7.  I'm wondering if you've had any other reflections on the issues mentioned above and if you can offer any more insight?  I'm pretty sure I don't have any filter applied anywhere as I had only exported it from FCP 7 when I was in the logging phase.
    Someone else mentioned using Audition.  Send the whole sequence to Audition and export an OMF from there. Have you tried to send your feature length doc sequence to Audition and has it been succesfull? 
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ryan

  • I can't get video to play at all on MAC!

    I just recently purchased and downloaded Premiere Elements 12 for a class.  My project deadline is fast approaching and I can't get any videos to play with either the toggle bar (space bar) or by using the VCR like buttons.  I am using the "Classroom in a Book" tutorials AND trying to start a new project with my videos and this issue is occuring in both. I am able to select the video and place it on the timeline and pull the cursor left and right with NO SOUND.... I can also do this in the preview mode...BUT IT WILL NOT PLAY ON ITS OWN..... please advise....  I have a brand new MAC that we purchased in November, therefore I have all the updates. 
    Thank you in advance for your time with this request.

    kstoyle
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements Mac?
    Administrative Privileges are required for both Premiere Elements and QuickTime. Are you Mac computer permissions set appropriately for this?
    What are the properties of this video...
    video compression
    audio compression
    frame size
    frame rate
    interlaced or progressive
    file extension
    pixel aspect ratio
    Is the problem only with this one particular video source or is the problem for all video and still imports?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.

  • Adobe 9.3.4 not working for downloading grant application
