Calendar - best tips for categories

I'm relatively new to Bberry. Have a Storm2 now. I use Outlook 2007 for my calendar, personal and business. I'm a court reporter and enter in my Outlook calendar the court hearings for 3 or 4 different judges. I use the color categories to easily track which hearing is before which judge. Of course, my personal calendar events are also categorized.
I've come to learn that there's no way to get those categories to sync with my Storm.
So...I'm looking for advice from those of you who also keep busy calendars on your Bberry. What's the best way for me to track these sorts of calendar appointments in Outlook so they'll be more useful to me on my Bberry? I'm sure there are others of you out there who track meetings with different agency groups or something similar to what I encounter. Maybe there's a better way for me to go about using my Outlook calendar that will work seamlessly with my Bberry calendar.
Thanks! I'm hoping I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Tips for beginners that I have taught in the past and from me:
0 - The debugger is your friend. Learn to use it, before you lean any more Java. REALLY!!!
1 - Do NOT use the GUI development tool in your IDE, Code it yourself.
2 - Read the Java Tutorials.
3 - Java arrays begin with index 0.
4 - Do NOT confuse leaning Java with learning to program. They are 2 distinct things.
The language is a tool, but knowing how to program is a skill that will apply to many different tools.
5 - There are more languages than Java, keep in mind each, including Java, were created for different tasks.
6 - Develop your own style.
7 - You are never done learning. NEVER.
8 - Don't be afraid to modify your style, when you see something elegant, adopt it, make it part of your style.
9 - If you're not having fun, you're doing the wrong thing.
10 - Math is a major part of programming: you can never have too many Math skills.
11 - Embrace the Java philosophy... write once, run anywhere a JVM exists.
12 - Dumb code is actually better: don't get overly involved in optimizing your code--write it clean--Java will do the rest.
13 - Learn to use your profiler, for when you really need to see if you can optimize. The problem is usually not where you think.
14 - No matter how good you are, someone is always better and faster--when you encounter them, learn from what they do and use the good parts.
15 - 800 lines of buggy code is not as good as 50 lines of clean, well designed code.
16 - Your teacher is not always right, but they give you the grades.
17 - Your boss may be an idiot, but he had the good sense, or lapse there of, to offer you a job and you accepted. He's your boss now, act like it, and help him look good--you'll go farther with a lot less stress. Also remember you future boss may want to contact him for a reference.

The No.1 Best Tip For Anyone Installing Leopard

Reading through all the 'posts of woe' and nashing of teeth and ******** and, well you get the picture, one thing is coming to the front as the No.1 best thing to do before installing Leopard........BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER...down load superduper (for free) and do an 'all files' back up, then make sure you can boot off that external HDD and then attempt the install. Actually for good measure get another HDD and manually back up all your data, files and media so at least you have another back up just in case. Also have your tiger discs at hand in case of a massive meltdown.
Most folks seem to be ****** off here because they have lost everything on their computer, and that would be okay if it wasn't for the fact that apple clearly states that back ups should be made. The truth is we have been spoilt with OS that never crashes and is so easy to upgrade, that when something like this comes along we panic. Without getting into the whole "was it ready to be released" debate, the fact is its here and any problems that occur in the early days will be swiftly eliminated by the folks at apple
This is the coal face here folks, its dirty and you should be prepared to get a little beaten up! I reckon we'll be getting software updates every day or so for a while
I still haven't been able to install leopard and I'm a little peeved, but I'll sort it out, and in the meantime I'll thank my lucky stars I don't have a PC and that tiger is still working.
Keep the fate brothers and sisters

It will be interesting to see how this all sorts out. I did back up. However, I installed as an upgrade on 4 different computers. Mac Pro 2.66 intel, Mac Book Pro Intel, IMac 24" cor2duo extreme, and an IMac corduo 20". All installs went without a problem. I do hope Apple looks at this and tries to figure out why there is so much variation from one to another when the machines seem to be the same in many cases. I think that perhaps as do many other programs that Apple puts out, there is an "Apple is checking your computer for compatibility"screen before the install begins. That way any program that might be a problem could be addressed before install. Also some useful information as to the install process itself might be helpful in the package as well. I.E. that the blue screen might hang for a significant time as it checks the hard drive might reduce some of the anxiety many of us feel when it appears that things have hung when perhaps they have not. In any case I suspect things will shake out soon enough. I think Apple has to learn that there are many new customers old and young that need a little more help than just put the disc into your computer and let it go. Just my feelings on the matter since I was fortunate to have no problems.

Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

hi
we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
Requirements
+ all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
+handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
+ the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
Current Solution
at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
- allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
- all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
- you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
the problem however is that the users also need to access this...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi Aleksei,
I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with the Dispatcher?

It seems as if the Dispatcher is restricting access to the Query Builder (/bin/querybuilder.json) as a best practice regarding security. However, the Calendar relies on this endpoint to build the events for the calendar. On Author / Publish this works fine but once we place the Dispatcher in front, the Calendar no longer works. We've noticed the same behavior on the Geometrixx site.

Can anyone recommend tips and best practices for FrameMaker-to-RoboHelp migration ?

Hi. I'm planning a migration from FM (unstructured) to RH. I'd appreciate any tips and best practices for the migration process. (Note that at the moment I plan to import the FM documents into, not link to them from, RH.)
For example, my current FM files are presently not optimally "chunked", so that autoconverting FM file sections (based on, say, Header 1 paragraph layout) won't always result in an optimal topic set. I'm thinking of going through the FM docs and inserting dummy paragraphs with a tag somethike like "topic_break", placed in more appropriate locations that the existing headers. Then, during import to RH, I'd use the topic_break paragraph to demark the topics. Is this a good technique? Beyond paragraph-based import delineation, do you know of any guidelines for redrafting FM chapter file content into RH topics?
Also, are there any considerations/gotchas in the areas of text review workflow, multiple authoring, etc. after the migration? (I've not managed an ongoing RH doc project before, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
-Kurt
BTW, the main reason for the migration: Info is presently scattered in various (and way to many) PDF files. There's no global index. I'd like to make a RoboHelp HTML interface (probably WebHelp layout) so it can be a one-stop documentation shop for users.

Jeff
Fm may produce better output for your requirements but for many what Rh produces works just fine. My recent finding re Word converting images to JPG before import will mean a better experience for many.
Once Rh is set up, and it's not difficult, for many its printed documents will do the job. I would say try it and then judge.

Tips and best practices for translating C into LabVIEW? SERIOUS newbie...

I need to translate a C function into LabVIEW. This will be my *first* LabVIEW project. I've been reading some tutorials, and I'm still struggling to get my brain out of "C/C++ mode" and learn the LabVIEW paradigms.
Structurally, the function that I need to translate gets called from a while-loop and performs a bunch of mathematical calculations.
The basic layout is something like this (this obviously isn't the actual code, it just illustrates the general flow control and techniques that it uses).
struct Params
// About 20 int and float parameters
int CalculateMetrics(Params *pParams,
float input1, float input2 [etc])
int errorCode = 0;
float metric1;
float metric2;
float metric3;
// Do some math like:
metric1 = input1 * (pParams->someParam - 5);
metric2 = metric1 + (input2 / pParams->someOtherParam);
// Tons more simple math
// A couple for-loops
if (metric1 < metric2)
// manipulate metric1 somehow
else
// set some kind of error code
errorCode = ...;
if (!errorCode)
metric3 = metric1 + pow(metric2, 3);
// More math...
// etc...
// update some external global metrics variables
return errorCode;
I'm still too green to understand whether or not a function like this can translate cleanly from C to LabVIEW, or whether the LabVIEW version will have significant structural differences.
Are there any general tips or "best practices" for this kind of task?
Here are some more specific questions:
Most of the LabVIEW examples that I've seen (at least at the beginner level) seem to heavily rely on using the front panel controls to provide inputs to functions. How do I build a VI where the input arguments(input1, input2, etc) come as numbers, and aren't tied to dials or buttons on the front panel?
The structure of the C function seems to rely heavily on the use of stack variables like metric1 and metric2 in order to perform calculations. It seems like creating temporary "stack" variables in LabVIEW is possible, but frowned upon. Is it possible to keep this general structure in the LabVIEW VI without making the code a mess?
Thanks guys!

There's already a couple of good answers, but to add to #1:
You're clearly looking for a typical C-function. Any VI that doesn't require front panel opening (user interaction) can be such a function.
If the front panel is never opened the controls are merely used to send data to the VI, much like (identical to) the declaration of a C-function. The indicators can/will be return values.
Which controls and indicators are used to sending data in and out of a VI is almost too easy; Click the icon of the front panel (top right) and show connector, click which control/indicator goes where. Done. That's your functions declaration.
Basically one function is one VI, although you might want to split it even further, dont create 3k*3k pixel diagrams.
Depending on the amount of calculations done in your If-Thens they might be sub vi's of their own.

Tips for best quality?

I've got a full res SD quicktime movie that I want to put onto DVD....how can I get the best quality out of this video on DVD through compressor....should I just choose best quality with a 2 pass vbr?

Does anyone have any tips for best quality imovie3 exports but keeping file.
Here is a quick Apple tutorial introduction that may be of some help:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/h264.html
I personally use the QVGA (AKA "Internet Content") H.264 settings for everything from family site clips to iPod compatible files. 400 kb with stereo 128kb audio should produce a good quality file at 29.97/30 fps which is on the order of 4 MBs per minute of content and are suitible for DSL/Cable QuickStart viewing. You can, of course further reduce file size by decreasing data rates, frame rates, target display size, etc. However, to my mind, the quality suffers and becomes unacceptable for my purposes. QT Kirk has other tricks such as further halving the dimensions and then doubling the playback display. This would get you down to the approximately 1 MB per minute mark or sub 1 MB rage when couple with reduced data/frame rates. Basically, you are only limited by your own idea as to the minimum level of acceptable quality.

Tips for best batt life?

I've got a new MacBook and want to avoid whatever mistakes I've made in the past to deplete my battery life long-term. I've read Apple's page on keeping the battery in good shape, but is it best to let the battery FULLY discharge and FULLY charge (top it off) all the time? And is it bad to keep it plugged in while using, even if it's got a full charge already? What about keeping it plugged in when not in use?
Any tips from experienced Mac people (I'm so glad to join your ranks) would be appreciated.

If you use your battery even for 10 minutes you should charge it when you can. Li-ion Batteries work best with small charges over big ones. Do not use your battery then use it again and again till the battery gets low enough to shut off. I am not talking about where you have no choice. I am saying don't deplete your battery on purpose before you charge.
A charge cycle is a full discharge and full charge. It is best if done in small doses.
+Example. You use 25% of the battery and then recharge. You have used 1/4th of a cycle. Doing this 4 times an you have a full cycle. This is better for the chemistry that using it for 25% and then letting it sit till the next day and using it for the rest of the use then charging it.+
Below is what I like to give new users for battery care. I use my battery in this way and after six months have 14 cycles on this battery. I get between 3 and 4 hours of use with it and have everything turned on.
It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. Most of the time I only unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate. Have you calibrated your battery yet? You should calibrate every two months or so to keep the battery fully functioning. If you use your MacBook infrequently, it’s best to re-calibrate the battery at least once a month.

Best practices/tips for users who are connected to A LOT of mailboxes?

I have a user or two who seem to be connected to _everyone's_ mailbox. This person is in recruiting, so access to other people's calendars is necessary
for scheduling.
Problem is, she faces multiple Outlook slow downs and lock ups on a daily basis. She recently showed me a problem where calendars that she typically has
access to now prompt her to "ask them to share their calendar" messages (reboots will fix this problem, for the most part).
Taken her on and off cached Exchange mode. We have disabled the "Download shared folders" setting, and that helped some, but issues still persist.
She is typically the only one with constant problems (her and one other person that is in a similar situation).
More info: we allow Reviewer permissions for everyone's Calendar for the "Default" entry. So, she does not have full access to any one's mailbox.
She's just viewing everyone as a shared calendar.
Hoping there's someone out there with similar issues that have successfully tackled this problem!
Running on-prem Exchange 2013 with three member DAG.
Thanks in advance.

She can use the scheduling assistant to check availability, there is no need to have other people calendars added. Remove all those calendars, compact the data file, and educate her on how to properly use Outlook. Here's a reference article:

I'm going to Europe and will have my iPad along, any tips on the best plans for Internet use etc?

Any tips for international use with iPad?

Since storage space is not a limiting factor for you, you might want to take a look at Apple Lossless. Lossless will give you the equivalent audio quality of an uncompressed format such as WAV or AIFF with about a 30% decrease in file size compared to the uncompressed formats. Keep in mind that if you have an iPod, these Lossless fies will severely decrease your iPod capacity. For instance, a 30GB iPod importing the avg. 4 minute song in Lossless will only hold about 1150 songs.
Personally, I use AAC @ 256 which I find comes pretty darn close to the original CD quality with a large decrease in file size. I have a 60GB iPod, so I was willing to sacrifice some iPod capacity for the improved audio quality.
