Blogging: Which Approach?

I've had an iWeb site for about five months now and I've decided that I want to add a blog to it. Specifically, I want to make that the home page. I have something resembling a blog now, except it lacks one of the key elements: comments.
I searched through the forums for various ideas and I couldn't settle on anything. I tried following the directions at http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Blogging.html for how to use Wordpress.org (not .com) to create a blog in the site, but my HTML knowledge is pretty much nonexistent, and I got totally lost. I tried creating a blog with Wordpress.com and then using an HTML Snippet to embed it in the site, but that just seemed to mess up the whole layout, since I'm basically sticking an entire other page onto the one that's there. Finally, there's the iWeb blog option, but since I don't have a MobileMe account and I can't have comments without it, there's no point.
So, iWeb experts, I'm wondering what I can do to (or if there's anything I can do) to make a fully-functioning blog right in my iWeb site. All ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Patrick:
I can't recommend any particular blogging site to use but when you do find what you want to use you can embed it into an iWeb page like the example in this demo page: Embed One Site Within an iWeb Page.

Which approach do you prefer for upgrade

When upgrade 9.2 to 10.1 or 10.1 upgrade 10.2, which approach do you prefer, DBUA, manual ipgrade, export/import or data copying? Oracle document suggests to use DBUA, but from your experience, does it convince and why?
Thank you for sharing,

For me, It depends of the database size and business constraints.
If the DB is small I'd probably use export/import, because it gives me the opportunity to make a very clean move, and use new features like LMT, or ASM.
If time is a constraint and the DB is big I'd run DBUA. but remember that DBUA also has limitation, for example you will net be able to upgrade an Oracle DB 7.X to 10G using DBUA.
Hope this helps,

Which approach is quicker?

Assuming table1 is indexed and partitioned, which approach is quicker?
1. running multiple queries at the same time:
queries                 table     time query starts
query1                  table1   now
query2                  table1   now
query3                  table1   now
…2. running multiple queries sequentially:
queries                 table     time query starts
query1                  table1   now
query2                  table1   start when pervious query is complete
query3                  table1   start when pervious query is complete
…I guess the answer would be "it depends", but I appreciate any insight.
Thanks.

... Yes, all the queries are based on one and the same table. Sorry, I caused some confusion there. You were clear on that point in your first message; I was just trying to answer a broader question than the one you actually asked.
Most of them are simple count/group by/distinct/aggregate kind of queries. Sorry, maybe I sould have mentioned this before, there are no WHERE clauses.
Is the answer still "it depends"?In that case, there is no difference at all in the WHERE clauses, but I forgot about GROUP BY, CONNECT BY and other things that can alter a query.
Yes, the answer is still "it depends". It depends mainly on what the differences are. Does one of the queries not have a GROUP BY clause at all, another have "GROUP BY x, y" and another "GROUP BY x" (that is, a subset of the other GROUP BY)? In that case, you can probably combine the queries efficiently. You might use GROUP BY ROLLUP, or analytic functions instead of aggregates, depending on the particulars.

Which Approach?---Scan into JPEGs and then save as PDF or scan into PDF?

I am now learning to use my Canon Pixma MX870. I installed the full suite of Canon printing, scanning, faxing and whatever else software they provide for this all-in-one.
There are several different ways you can approach things with this machine which makes it a little confusing. You can do things with a one touch kind of method or you can delve deeper into the menus and adjust lots of settings.
Right now I am working on scanning documents into PDFs. The Canon software lets me create multipage PDFs which is something I've been wanting to do. My question is, is it best to scan images as JPEGs and then save them as a multipage PDF or is it best to scan into PDF directly (which the scanner seems to offer as well) and then save as a multipage PDF? I'm thinking in terms of the best optimization of file size vs. image quality and things like that.
Is the scanner actually doing anything differently when scanning into JPEG vs. PDF? Or is the scanning all the same and it's just the saving of the file that is different?
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
Thanks!

Steve M.

Maybe you don't need that. I prefer using Apple's Image Capture for scanning.

Let the software do it for you. That will be fewer steps for you. Image-based PDFs are going to be large. There is no way around that. If they are too large, you can use Preview's Save As feature and play around with the Quartz Filter.

Scans are scans. The JPEG file format is lossly and will look worse than other types. If you are scanning in photographs, the JPEGs will look good. If you are scanning in crisp text, JPEGS will have lots of artifacts and look bad.
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
I pretty much always keep it at 300 unless I need something special or when the original is really small and I intend to blow it up.

Which approach is having better performance in terms of time

For large no of data from more then two diffrent tables which are having relations ,
In Oracle in following two approaches which is having better performance in terms of time( i.e which is having less time) ?
1. A single compex query
2. Bunch of simple queries

Because their is a relationship between each of the tables in the simple queries then if you adopt this approach you will have to JOIN in some way, probably via a FOR LOOP in PL/SQL.
In my experience, a single complex SQL statement is the best way to go, join in the database and return the set of data required.
SQL rules!

Which approach to use for resizing image

There are two ways of resizing images as I know:
1. image.getScaledInstance(width,height,hint);
Using hint like Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING gives somehwat satisfactory resizing.
2. static BufferedImage resize(GraphicsConfiguration gc, BufferedImage source, int w, int h, Object hintValue) {
BufferedImage result = gc.createCompatibleImage(w, h, source.getTransparency());
Graphics2D g2 = result.createGraphics();
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, hintValue);
double sx = (double) w / source.getWidth(), sy = (double) h / source.getHeight();
g2.drawRenderedImage(source, AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(sx, sy));
g2.dispose();
return result;
where the hint passed is RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR ;
Now which of the two method method should I use-using image.getScaledInstance() or using AffineTranform ? opr is there any other way which is faster but provides good result?
i am creating an image editor, so the GUI dialog will have oprtion to choose the algorithm. I want the method which provides better result yet faster.

Which approach is better- EPMA vs Classic Planning App

Hi Experts,
I question came to me after a big discussion with one of my vendor.
my organization is in process of migrating the V9(9.1.3) environment to EPMV11(11.1.2.1).
Currently we have 4 Classic planning application but we are interested to leverage the EPMA feature of V11 by converting them to EPMA application as they shared some of the dimensions among themself but the vendor who is going to work on that is advising us to keep it in Classic as there is a news of sunsetting EPMA by Oracle to pramote DRM into market. just surprised me that so wanted to know the truthness of the statement.
appreciate your comments.
Regards,
PK

There seems to be lots of rumours floating around about EPMA, how much is true I think you will just have to wait and see, I have my own personal view on the product which I will keep to myself :)
I suppose the decision to switch is to see how much benefit you will get by switching, if you are happy and that moment and everything is working well then I would question why to switch, if you will get much more functionality and benefits then consider it.
Cheers

Tell me which approach is gud in posting documents in contenserver frm sap.

Hi Guru's,
as i have some requirement like documents from sap r/3 to be sent to the contentserver(3party).
and the documents to be come into the sap from content server using work flow.
as far as i know can i go with sap out going documents and incoming documents under archive link for this requirement?
is there any other approach to access the documents to and fro from sap to external content server using workflow?
Thanks&Regards,
babu.

Atomic Primary Key or Composite ? Which approach is better ?

Hi all,
I have a table that has its composite primary key (infact foriegn keys of other tables make pk in this table).
But due to large project complexity, i just want to have an atomic primary key, so that i could use a sequence for it, instead of using N foreign keys from other tables. And furthermore, a single column primary key can be easily accessed as foreign key as compared to N columns primary key.
Is it a good approach in general ?
My personal view has certain reservations regarding the atomic primary key in such case. It could lead to a weak database design.
Any suggestion ?
Thanx
Zaaf.

Most large data warehouses implement a 'synthetic' key approach for much the same reasons that you describe. You can still carry the FKs and use them to assist in joining operations, while keeping the size (and complexity) of the primary key down to a manageable size.
There are downsides to this approach - it depends on how the data is most frequently accessed and many other factors. But in general it can work quite well.

Implementing a circular buffer - which approach works best?

I'm just implementing a circular buffer (or a circular queue, to be precise). Now I wonder which is better for wrapping around when inserting:
Using the modulo operator or using some variable to store the insertionPoint and incrementing it after each insert?
Does it make any difference in performance / readability?

Uh, that article is really nice... thanks...Is that sarcasm, or is it "prob sol"?
My suggestion would simply be: Why roll your own, when you can just use a standard implementation provided by the JDK (you do know about the java.util.Queue interface and can find standard classes which implement it, right?).
So is this just for an academic exercise, or are you one of those premature optimizer kinda guys feeling the need to eek out every last millisecond of processing and/or save every last byte of memory? And maybe you fear the reaper (garbage collector) too.
I don't see a real need for a "circular queue". Circular buffers, circular lists yes (where you iterate over it in a circular fashion), but when I think of a queue I think of FIFO pushing and popping elements, not iterating over it.

Which approach is better for remote diagnostics-TCP/Ip or datasockets?

hi,
am working on a remote diagnostics project and would want to know whether to use TCP/IP or data sockets
for my application. any related links regarding the procedure to be
followed while creating and using datasockets would also prove helpful.

Hello,
I think you'll find the following resource useful:
TCP/IP and DataSocket LabVIEW User Group Presentation
Link: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/learningcenter.nsf/webmain/E9913176F1E7581C86256E68007DD91E
Description: Download this presentation to learn about the history of TCP/IP and how you can develop TCP/IP applications in LabVIEW. You will also see how to develop client/server LabVIEW applications using DataSocket technology. This LabVIEW User Group Presentaiton includes a PowerPoint presentation along with two step-by-step exercises for a 1/2 day LabVIEW User Group Meeting.
You'll find more information by searching for keywords such as tcp, tcp/ip, and datasocket - many of these are good starting points! There are also shipping examples with LabVIEW which are complete with descriptions. These will help you start programming in addition to the other resources. You can launch the example finder from Help -Find Examples... in LabVIEW - again, searching keywords such as tcp, tcp/ip, or datasocket will give you lists of examples.
I hope this helps!

Which approach is good?

I don;t know if I am posting this on the right forum. So Please....
The question is with respect to logging.
I know using the log4j , we can configure/direct the logs based on the package names.
Now I have one package and in the same package, In every class, I have to normal log and also do audit log. And now the audit log should go to db.
Now I have three proposals, I want you to tell me which one is better and why
Case 1)
Create a class called AdminLogger and have a static method "log" which would do log the message to the DB.
Q) If I use static method, I believe I need to put synchronized key word to the "log" method ?. Because, it might be called from different places. And more over there is a possibility that several users may be invoking the objects.
case 2)
Create a class called AdminLogger with no public constructor and have a method called getLogger which would return a new instance every time and call log method on the instance
Q) Pretty much it creates a new instance of AdminLogger for every log.
case 3) Have one static instance for each class like
public static AuditLogger logger = new AuditLogger();
Q) This would create n instances for n classes. and they will be in memory all the time.
thanks

Log4j is thread safety you do not have to synchronize your static methods.

Simple Scenario - but which approach will work ?

I have 2 tables ,
1. Defination table , 2. Mappings Table
I want to create a view with a checkbox to show the Defination table . The checkbox will be selected if the Defination PK is present in the mappings table . The mappings table has the surrogate key linked with Defination table .
I want to select/deselect the checkbox to update the mappings table . basically , selecting the checkbox will insert the record into Mapping table and deselecting will remove from there . The defination table will be unchanged .
Below are the table -
Defination Table -
defination_Id (Pk)
d_Name varChar
Mappings Table
Product_Id (PK)
defination_Id (Pk)

Which approach to take ? Request your suggestions

Hello all,
We are planning to implement custom work flow for a process in our group. The work flow is not related to any transaction in SAP. It is a request for a form release, where the entire process is happening outside SAP.
Please find the following details about the requirement :
1. We have 200 companies, with a total staff strength of 20k
2. Each company has different approval levels ( In one company, GM needs to approve this process, where as in another one HR executive's approval is enough)
3. We may need to integrate this form release with leave workflow ( we don't use leave workflow as of now) in future, so that this workflow should be triggered when a leave workflow is initiated.
Following are the options we found :
1. Use SAP custom workflow - We don't have a workflow consultant, hence is it tough to achieve ?
2. Use Portal   - Guided Procedures ?
3. Use a custom developed portal - Can it integrate with SAP in future?
Apart from these, is there any other way we can implement this?
Which of these options do you suggest?
For some of you, these may be real basic questions.
I would appreciate your suggestions on this.
Thanks in advance
Shobin

Hello Vijay,
Thanks for your response.
If we use SAP custom workflow, does it have the capability to have multiple levels of approvals for different companies using our R/3 Instance?
For example, Company A may have 3 levels of approvals required to complete this process, while company B may just need one approver step. Is there a way to handle this?
Its a really basic question, but I am not a workflow consultant. So, can you please explain me more on this?
Thanks

If you want to create new front end its would be very difficult. I would suggest then go for portal from SAP any front end tool provided by SAP. Don't try to develop a front end tool for workflow it will be very very difficult to get the mails and inbox every thing has to design. Instead SAP itself provides front end tool. You just buy based on your requirment.

Posting on Adobe's Blog which was suggested by Customer Care

Like many of you, my world was turned upside down today when I learned of Adobe's decision to terminate FormsCentral. I took to this forum because that is what the information I received regarding the termination directed me to do. I also went to Twitter and waited out a Customer Care chat. One of the representatives from Customer Care suggested I post a comment at the bottom of their blog page on blogs.adobe.com: FormsCentral is retiring | Adobe Acrobat Blog. In the representative's words, "That will get exposure." Hoping for a miracle, but would be content with services until the end of 2015.

I'm having the same issues. I've tried twice to get someone to help me update my Creative Cloud payment information through a chat session with Adobe and both times I was disconnected.
I also called in once and the rep couldn't help me. He said I should just wait and try again in a day or two. I have better things to do than trying to update this info over and over! He offered to take my information over the phone but there is no way in hell I'm coughing up my new credit card info over the phone.
The guy on the phone opened up a support case 6 days ago. I've gone in and updated it 3 or 4 times and nobody from Adobe has ever responded to it - even though their guidelines state they try to respond to every one within 4 hours.
This is not acceptable. I can't believe Adobe is dropping the ball so dramatically on this one.
