Best practices for setting a background for an iChat?

Is there a way of creating a background setting before the chat invite?
If I do it in the preview window, by clicking on my own camera icon, the background reverts to default by the time I invite somebody.
doug

Hi Doug,
If I click the Video icon next to my own pic in the Buddy List to show the Preview of myself and then use the Video Effects I can preset What I want and it stays when I close the Video effects and preview if I then invite some to a chat.
Are you saying this does not work for you ?

  • Networking "best practice" for setting up a farm

    Hi all.
    We would like to set an OracleVM farm, and I have a question about "best practice" for
    configuring the network. Some background:
    - The hardware I have is comprised of machines with 4 gig-eth NICs each.
    - The storage will be coming primarily from a backend NAS appliance (Netapp, FWIW).
    - We have already allocated a separate VLAN for management.
    - We would like to have HA capable VMs using OCFS2 (on top of NFS.)
    I'm trying to decide between 2 possible configurations. The first would keep physical separation
    between the mgt/storage networks and the DomU networks. The second would just trunk
    everything together across all 4 NICs, something like:
    Config 1:
    - eth0 - management/cluster-interconnect
    - eth1 - storage
    - eth2/eth3 => bond0 - 8021q trunked, bonded interfaces for DomUs
    Config 2:
    - eth0/1/2/3 => bond0
    Do people have experience or recommendation about the best configuration?
    I'm attracted to the first option (perhaps naively) because CI/storage would benefit
    from dedicated bandwidth and this configuration might also be more secure.
    Regards,
    Robert.

    Option #4 (802.3ad) looks promising, but I don't know if this can be made to work across
    separate switches.It can, if your switches support cross-switch trunking. Essentially, 802.3ad (also known as LACP or EtherChannel on Cisco devices) requires your switch to be properly configured to allow trunking across the interfaces used for the bond. I know that the high-end Cisco and Juniper switches do support LACP across multiple switches. In the Cisco world, this is called MEC (Multichassis EtherChannel).
    If you're using low-end commodity-grade gear, you'll probably need to use active/passive bonds if you want to span switches. Alternatively, you could use one of the balance algorithms for some bandwitch increase. You'd have to run your own testing to determine which algorithm is best suited for your workload.
    The Linux Foundation's Net:Bonding article has some great information on bonding in general, particularly on the various bonding methods for high availability:

  • Best practice for Spark repeating background image in a SkinnableContainer?

    In my old Flex 3.5 code I would accomplish this by dropping an Image into a Canvas and hitting the Canvas with some css style stuff to get the repeat.  The Image tag had a source property that would take a web address so I could dynamically grab different images from the web based on some conditions.  Little bit more trouble with Flex 4.5 and Spark but I'm trying to get there.
    Here Adobe docs explain how to *embed* a background image:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS422719A4-7849-4921-AF39-57FF567B483B.html#WS063B0 491-B7AB-4b00-A39F-E44310BCB0E0
    They use a BitmapFill object in the skin.
    <!-- background fill -->
        <s:Rect id="background" left="3" top="3" right="3" bottom="3" alpha=".25">
            <s:fill>
                <s:BitmapFill source="@Embed(source='../../assets/myImage.jpg')"/>
            </s:fill>
        </s:Rect>
    Problem is I need to do this without embedding the image.  In my old code I grabbed the image from web (set source property on Image tag to web address).  What's the best practice for achieving this with a skinnable container?  The BitmapFill object used above won't take a web address for a source.
    Thanks in advance.

    Use BitmapImage with a fillMode of repeat:
    <s:BitmapImage source="http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo2w.png" width="100%" height="100%" scaleMode="stretch" fillMode="repeat" />

  • Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

    Hello,
    I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:
    Users: 5 users on new iMacs (x3) and upgraded G4s (x2)
    Video Editing Suite: Want to connect a new iMac and a Mac Pro, on an open login (multiple users)
    All machines are to be able to connect to the network, peripherals and external hard drive. Also, I would like to setup drop boxes as well to easily share files between the computers (I was thinking of using the external harddrive for this).
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

  • (Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

    Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server.   (This
    will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
    Specifically, your best practices regarding:
    the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,  
    the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
    RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),  
    IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,  
    disk caching settings on both host and guests.  
    Thanks so much for any information you can share.

    A bit of non essential additional info:
    We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
    over to the new infrastructure .   We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
    During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
    information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
    Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
    seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
    We have read these and others:
    Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100), 
    Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
    Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
    Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
    Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.

  • Best practices for setting up projects

    We recently adopted using Captivate for our WBT modules.
    As a former Flash and Director user, I can say it’s
    fast and does some great things. Doesn’t play so nice with
    others on different occasions, but I’m learning. This forum
    has been a great source for search and read on specific topics.
    I’m trying to understand best practices for using this
    product. We’ve had some problems with file size and
    incorporating audio and video into our projects. Fortunately, the
    forum has helped a lot with that. What I haven’t found a lot
    of information on is good or better ways to set up individual
    files, use multiple files and publish projects. We’ve decided
    to go the route of putting standalones on our Intranet. My gut says
    yuck, but for our situation I have yet to find a better way.
    My question for discussion, then is: what are some best
    practices for setting up individual files, using multiple files and
    publishing projects? Any references or input on this would be
    appreciated.

    Hi,
    Here are some of my suggestions:
    1) Set up a style guide for all your standard slides. Eg.
    Title slide, Index slide, chapter slide, end slide, screen capture,
    non-screen capture, quizzes etc. This makes life a lot easier.
    2) Create your own buttons and captions. The standard ones
    are pretty ordinary, and it's hard to get a slick looking style
    happening with the standard captions. They are pretty easy to
    create (search for add print button to learn how to create
    buttons). There should instructions on how to customise captions
    somewhere on this forum. Customising means that you can also use
    words, symbols, colours unique to your organisation.
    3) Google elearning providers. Most use captivate and will
    allow you to open samples or temporarily view selected modules.
    This will give you great insight on what not to do and some good
    ideas on what works well.
    4) Timings: Using the above research, I got others to
    complete the sample modules to get a feel for timings. The results
    were clear, 10 mins good, 15 mins okay, 20 mins kind of okay, 30
    mins bad, bad, bad. It's truly better to have a learner complete
    2-3 short modules in 30 mins than one big monster. The other
    benefit is that shorter files equal smaller size.
    5) Narration: It's best to narrate each slide individually
    (particularly for screen capture slides). You are more likely to
    get it right on the first take, it's easier to edit and you don't
    have to re-record the whole thing if you need to update it in
    future. To get a slicker effect, use at least two voices: one male,
    one female and use slightly different accents.
    6) Screen capture slides: If you are recording filling out
    long window based databse pages where the compulsory fields are
    marked (eg. with a red asterisk) - you don't need to show how to
    fill out every field. It's much easier for the learner (and you) to
    show how to fill out the first few fields, then fade the screen
    capture out, fade the end of the form in with the instructions on
    what to do next. This will reduce your file size. In one of my
    forms, this meant the removal of about 18 slides!
    7) Auto captions: they are verbose (eg. 'Click on Print
    Button' instead of 'Click Print'; 'Select the Print Preview item'
    instead of 'Select Print Preview'). You have to edit them.
    8) PC training syntax: Buttons and hyperlinks should normally
    be 'click'; selections from drop down boxes or file lists are
    normally 'select': Captivate sometimes mixes them up. Instructions
    should always be written in the correct order: eg. Good: Click
    'File', Select 'Print Preview'; Bad: Select 'Print Preview' from
    the 'File Menu'. Button names, hyperlinks, selections are normally
    written in bold
    9) Instruction syntax: should always be written in an active
    voice: eg. 'Click Options to open the printer menu' instead of
    'When the Options button is clicked on, the printer menu will open'
    10) Break all modules into chapters. Frame each chapter with
    a chapter slide. It's also a good idea to show the Index page
    before each chapter slide with a progress indicator (I use an
    animated arrow to flash next to the name of the next chapter), I
    use a start button rather a 'next' button for the start of each
    chapter. You should always have a module overview with the purpose
    of the course and a summary slide which states what was covered and
    they have complete the module.
    11) Put a transparent click button somewhere on each slide.
    Set the properties of the click box to take the learner back to the
    start of the current chapter by pressing F2. This allows them to
    jump back to the start of their chapter at any time. You can also
    do a similar thing on the index pages which jumps them to another
    chapter.
    12) Recording video capture: best to do it at normal speed
    and be concious of where your mouse is. Minimise your clicks. Most
    people (until they start working with captivate) are sloppy with
    their mouse and you end up with lots of unnecessarily slides that
    you have to delete out. The speed will default to how you recorded
    it and this will reduce the amount of time you spend on changing
    timings.
    13) Captions: My rule of thumb is minimum of 4 seconds - and
    longer depending on the amount of words. Eg. Click 'Print Preview'
    is 4 seconds, a paragraph is longer. If you creating knowledge
    based modules, make the timing long (eg. 2-3 minutes) and put in a
    next button so that the learner can click when they are ready.
    Also, narration means the slides will normally be slightly longer.
    14) Be creative: Capitvate is desk bound. There are some
    learners that just don't respond no matter how interactive
    Captivate can be. Incorporate non-captivate and desk free
    activities. Eg. As part of our OHS module, there is an activity
    where the learner has to print off the floor plan, and then wander
    around the floor marking on th emap key items such as: fire exits;
    first aid kit, broom and mop cupboard, stationary cupboard, etc.
    Good luck!

  • Best practiceS for setting up Macs on Network

    Greetings.
    We have six Macs on our Windows Server network; three iMacs and three laptops. We have set up all the machines and they are joined to the Active Directory. In the past, we have always created local users on the machines and then "browsed" to the server shares and mounted the them. We've learned things have improved/changed over the years and we're just now realizing we can probably have the machines set up to work better. So, I have a couple of questions for "best practices" when setting up each of the machines.
    1. Since we’re in a network environment, should we not set up “local logins/users” and instead have users login using their AD login? It seems having a local account creates some conflicts with the server since upgrading to lion.
    2. Should we set the computer to not ask for a “list of users” and instead ask for a username and password for logins?
    3. For the user that uses the machine most often, they can still customize their desktop when they use an AD login, correct?
    4. Should we set up Mobile User Accounts? What exactly does this do?
    Any other advice on how we should best be setting up the clients for our environment to make sure we are following best practices would be great!
    Thanks for any help!

  • What is the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm

    Hi, i want to know the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm. SAP has these levels for inventory management in warehouse environment: warehouse-aisle-shelf-bin. To me the bin seems to be the central location for inventory. So do i set up each oil tank as a bin location?

    Hi,

  • Best practice for setting or detecting screen size?

    Hi All,
    Trying to determine a best practice for setting or detecting the screen size. For playbook and iOS, I can set them. But for Android, the number of devices is too large so I'd rather detect. My first choice is to use the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth. This works fine if I set my stage properties with standard meta data:
    [SWF(height="320", width="480", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
    However, if I use the application descriptor file to set the stage dimentions (as suggested by Christian Cantrell here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/authoring_for_multiple_screen_sizes.html)
    <initialWindow>
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    <width>320</width>
    <height>480</height>
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    </initialWindow>
    Then the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are not the correct numbers when my main class is added to the stage. Sometime after the main class is added to the stage, then those numbers are fine. Is there an event I can wait for to know that the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are correct?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Lee,
    Thanks for the quick response! However, for some reason the heightPercent & widthPercent metadata tags are not working as expected for me.
    I have a wrapper class that I target for compiling, WagErgApplePhone.as where I've got my metadata
    [SWF(heightPercent="100%", widthPercent="100%", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
    sets some stage properties
    stage.quality=StageQuality.LOW;
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    and instantiates my main class
    var main:Main = new Main();
    addChild(main);
    my main class constructor even waits for the stage
    public function Main(){
    if (stage) init();
    else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
    in my init function, stage.stageHeight traces out as 375 (expecting 320).
    i have a function which is called via a button press event by the user, and stage.stageHeight traces out correctly (320) there. that's what makes me think that if i wait long enough, i can get the correct stageHeight before init/drawing. but i'm not sure what event to listen for, or if there's another trick.
    if i use Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY the correct values are provided for mobile, but these values are not useful for the desktop and web version of the app. if there's no other solution, i'll execute different code depending on platform.
    again, for reference, my app descriptor:
    <initialWindow>
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    <width>320</width>
    <height>480</height>
    <content>bin-iOS/WagErgApplePhone.swf</content>
    <title>WAG ERG</title>
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
    </initialWindow>
    looking forward to any other ideas to try out & thanks so much for your thoughts! if you want to really dig in, this is an opensource project at code.google.com/p/wag-erg/

  • Best Practices for Setting up a Windows 2012 R2 STD Domain Controller in a Remote Site

    So I'm looking for an article or writeup similar to the "Adding Domain Controllers in Remote Sites" TechNet article but for Windows Server 2012 STD R2.  Here is my scenario:
    1.  I want to setup the domain controller at Site A where the primary domain controller is located.  The primary domain controller is Windows Server 2008 R2. 
    2.  Once the DC is setup I plan on leaving it on our network for a few days before shipping it to remote Site B for installation
    Other key items:
    1.  The remote Site B will have a different IP range than Site A but will be connected to Site A via a single VPN tunnel.  All the DCs that replicate with each other are on the same domain. 
    2.  The 2012 DC that I setup for Site B (same domain in same forest) will be a DHCP, DNS, and WSUS server all replicating to the primary DC at Site A
    Questions:
    1.  What items can I setup while it's at Site A without effecting or conflicting with the existing network and domain controller?  Can I setup a scope once the DHCP role is added? 
    2.  All of our DCs replicate through Sites and Services, do I have to manually add this to our primary DC for the new DC going to remote Site B?  Or when does this happen automatically when I promote the DC?

  • Best practice for how to access a set of wsdl and xsd files

    I've recently beeing poking around with the Oracle ESB, which requires a bunch of wsdl and xsd files from HOME/bpel/system/xmllib. What is the best practice for including these files in a BPEL project? It seems like a bad idea to copy all these files into every project that uses the ESB, especially if there are quite a few consumers of the bus. Is there a way I can reference this directory from the project so that the files can just stay in a common place for all the projects that use them?
    Bret

    Hi,
    I created a project (JDeveloper) with local xsd-files and tried to delete and recreate them in the structure pane with references to a version on the application server. After reopening the project I deployed it successfully to the bpel server. The process is working fine, but in the structure pane there is no information about any of the xsds anymore and the payload in the variables there is an exception (problem building schema).
    How does bpel know where to look for the xsd-files and how does the mapping still work?
    This cannot be the way to do it correctly. Do I have a chance to rework an existing project or do I have to rebuild it from scratch in order to have all the references right?
    Thanks for any clue.

  • Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

    I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
    It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

    I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
    works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?

  • Best Practices For Household IOS's/Apple IDs

    Greetings:
    I've been searching support for best practices for sharing primarily apps, music and video among multple iOS's/Apple IDs.  If there is a specific article please point me to it.
    Here is my situation: 
    We currently have 3 iPads (2-kids, 1-dad) in the household and one iTunes account on a win computer.  I previously had all iPads on single Apple ID/credit card and controlled the kids' downloads thru the Apple ID password that I kept secret.  As the kids have grown older, I found myself constantly entering my password as the kids increased there interest in music/apps/video.  I like this approach because all content was shared...I dislike because I was constantly asked to input password for all downloads.
    So, I recently set up an individual account for them with the allowance feature at iTunes that allows them to download content on their own (I set restrictions on their iPads).  Now I have 3 Apple IDs under one household.
    My questions:
    With the 3 Apple IDs, what is the best way to share apps,music, videos among myself and the kids?  Is it multiple accounts on the computer and some sort of sharing? 
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Bonesaw1962,
    We've had our staff and students run iOS updates OTA via Settings -> Software Update. In the past, we put a DNS block on Apple's update servers to prevent users from updating iOS (like last fall when iOS 7 was first released). By blocking mesu.apple com, the iPads weren't able to check for or install any iOS software updates. We waited until iOS 7.0.3 was released before we removed the block to mesu.apple.com at which point we told users if they wanted to update to iOS 7 they could do so OTA. We used our MDM to run reports periodically to see how many people updated to iOS 7 and how many stayed on iOS 6. As time went on, just about everyone updated on their own.
    If you go this route (depending on the number of devices you have), you may want to take a look at Caching Server 2 to help with the network load https://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server . From Apple's website, "When a user on your network downloads new software from Apple, a copy is automatically stored on your server. So the next time other users on your network update or download that same software, they actually access it from inside the network."
    I wish there was a way for MDMs to manage iOS updates, but unfortunately Apple hasn't made this feature available to MDM providers. I've given this feedback to our Apple SE, but haven't heard if it is being considered or not. Keeping fingers crossed.
    Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide on and keep us posted on the progress. Good luck!!

  • BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

    I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
    username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
    connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
    Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
    connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
    the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
    users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
    following message is displayed:
    The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
    because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
    password now to continue.
    I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
    worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
    analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
    password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
    http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
    any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
    When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
    SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
    For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
    Connections:
    Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
    Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
    Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
    My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
    Connections.
    Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
    Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
    So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
    display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
    the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
    will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
    SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
    SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
    connection.

    You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
    So that it won't ask for password.
    Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information
