Debra's Intro

If Floyd found this embarrassing then guess how I as a Brit feels! Especially as 2 out of the 3 already know me!
I have worked in IT for too long, originally as a programmer (which in itself dates me, they are now developers). My latest employer Fujitsu took me on when they had a campaign looking for 'Rusty Mums' during a skills shortage. At that time my biggest passion in life, my daughter Brooke was only 6 months Old, during Open World she will be 20!
I am a Principal Consultant in our Oracle Practice and lead the BI & Strategy capability, and have worked with Oracle EBS since 9.4.1, not only is Fujitsu a CAP Partner but we eat our own dog food and have Siebel, EBS and Hyperion plus lots of that lovely Oracle technology I know nothing about!
I am an Applications OCP and Oracle Master (IT Professional) and obviously an Oracle ACE Director. I have even had the ACE program registered as a [lovemark!|http://debrasoracle.blogspot.com/2008/08/recognition.html] !
I am deputy chair (VP) of UKOUG The Best User Group in the World, and also run the Product Development Committee of which I am very proud at both the EMEA and International Usersgroups Communities.
UKOUG has its own staff we do not use a management company so being a director is in itself a skill and in pursuit of good governance i also studied for and achieved Chartered Director Status with the IOD.
Like Floyd I speak at many Oracle events and the main topic is Fusion Applications and Strategy, ocaisionally talking about the day job and BI. Personal life has not been the best in the last 18 months but what got me through it? My friends on the circuit and their Hugs (thanks Floyd).

If you'd prefer the Leopard intro movie files as they exist on your HDD, rather than a YouTube video (.flv), copy the following text (don't include the space at the end!):
/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources/
...then select Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder box, and paste. In the folder that opens you'll find intro.mov, which is the video, and intro-sound.mp3, which is the audio. The audio is separate from the movie because it's longer (55 seconds vs. 34 seconds). You can recombine them in iMovie, if you're so inclined.

    I am quite honored to share in the ranks of such intelligent Oracle Applications Technologists. And, I like, Debra and Floyd before me find this intro a bit embarrassing. So, anyway, here’s the part about me…..
    I have worked with Oracle Technology since I started my IT career in 1993 after graduating from the University of Oklahoma (Go Sooners :-). My first job was as an Oracle Database Administrator/UNIX System Administrator and it has been a great career fit for me. In 1999, I moved to Louisville, KY and started work for Humana (Health Ins Provider), which was when my Oracle Applications career began. In 2004, my knowledge sharing and networking began with the OAUG Connection Point conference in Orlando – since then, I have started a Special Interest Group (Oracle EBIZ Applications Technology SIG). I n addition to the SIG sessions at conferences, I also present (primarily advanced Oracle EBS Infrastructure and HA infrastructure) and am fortunate enough to be asked to participate in panels (Linux Migraiton, Women in Technology, and Cloning). In 2006, I co-authored a book titled Oracle Applications DBA Field Guide (Apress). When I’m not having fun with you at conferences, I’m managing a staff of 8 DBAs for Humana supporting their Oracle Applications environment.
    I enjoy teaching others and sharing knowledge about Oracle Applications and Technology. I look forward to interacting more with this group of great, talented people in the future.
    Best Regards,
    Elke

  • How can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my we site home screen

    how can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my website's home screen

    You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
    A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
    The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">
    The delay time in seconds is marked in blue and the URL to the redirect page is in red.

  • How can I get UDF to work on OS 10.8.5 will open 'intro' but not play content

    How can I view a UDF on Mac OS 10.8.5? It opens the cyclical intro but will not play the content. Using the controller reults in 'not permitted' for every action. Thank you!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can I intro play / auto-skip songs after a set amount of play time?

    I'm using iTunes on Windows 7 and I'm curious if there's a way, using iTunes itself or with a plug-in, to just intro play through my playlists. By this I mean, play only the first 30 seconds or so of each song before skipping to the next track.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    well, that's no fun...

  • How can I import my html flash intro into Muse?

    I created a flash intro using Tumult Hype.
    I just designed a website in Adobe Muse and I'd like to insert my flash intro to be the first screen on my website. I'd also like to link it so that when i click "enter" it takes me to the home page of my site.
    How can i do this? I've read numerous articles and forums on this problem and no one seems to have the solution.
    Someone PLEASE HELP!

    Use the code below... Upload your tumult file to your server as i don't think this will work locally. Insert an HTML object on your first page in Muse ( Home/Index.html ) and paste the code below in the object, change the URL in the code to point to your Tumult document. You may have to use an absolute path to other pages when you click the enter button for example http://www.yoursite.com/otherpage.html which will then take you to other pages in your muse document. Let me know if you run into issues...
    Adding iframes to your site to display other site pages with embedded HTML
    In addition to using embedded HTML to insert code you've pasted from a third-party website, you can also embed an entire web page within an iframe using the same method. For example, you can type a code snippet like this:
    <iframe title="A Title for this Content" src="http://yoururlhere.com" width="900" height="500" style="border: 0;"></iframe>
    In the code above, replace the text in the title="" and url="" with the desired external web page's title and URL. You can also customize the width and height of the iframe window to the desired values to fit your site's design.
    Optionally, you can also add an attribute that ensures the iframe will not display a scrollbar by adding this to the opening iframe tag:
    scrolling="no"
    By choosing Object > Insert HTML, you can open a new HTML Code window and embed an iframe anywhere on your site and then set any URL (site address, such as www.google.com) to display a site that is live on the Internet inside it.
    You can also use an iframe to embed animation, such as the HTML5 animations created in Adobe Edge. Find the name of the HTML file created by Adobe Edge and use that file name in your iframe's URL attribute:
    <iframe src="Project-Header-r1v1.html" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no">
    </iframe>

  • One original Intro cartridge no longer recognized by HP Officejet 6500a Plus printer

    The original "Intro" Magenta cartridge in my HP 6500a Plus is no longer recognized by the printer.
    The other "Intro" color cartridges (cyan and yellow) have a little ink left, and are recognized, along with a non-Intro HP black cartridge.
    I didn't use this printer a lot. What would cause just one cartridge to no longer be recognized by the printer?
    I can't use this printer at all now because of this. Not even for black-only printing... Not even for scanning!
    Edit:
    More info: The Magenta cartridge has an expiry of 2013/08, and the other 2 color cartridges have an expiry of 2013/09.
    Hmm.. are these cartridges designed to self-destruct about 6 months after expiry, even if they have some useable ink left in them?
    In a month or so, will the other 2 quit being recognized as well?
    I get:
    Ink System has failed (0xc19a0020)
    Ink System has failed (0xc19a0022)
    See attached pics for cartridge specific messages:
    I've done Solution one: Reset the printer.
    Done Solution two: Remove, clean, and reinstall the printhead.
    Done Solution three: Reset the product (looks like the first solution).
    I'm going to but a new Magenta cartridge and see if the problem goes away..

    I just discovered the Embedded Web Server on my E710n-z printer. Very cool!
    But it shows conflicting information from what the LCD panel shows:
    (it shows the printer head as damaged)
    And here, it recognizes the Magenta cartridge as empty:
    I only printed 132 pages in the lifetime of this printer and the head is gone?

  • How can I delete Adobe's intro folio from Content Viewer on iPad?

    I've been building a demo folio for my boss to use pitching to a client, on the iPad.  We would like the opening screen of Adobe Content Viewer to list only our own folio(s), not Adobe's intro one about how to use the content viewer.  This folio doesn't have an archive button next to it, and I haven't found any way to delete it, whether I'm signed in with my Adobe ID or not...
    Is it possible?

    This typically means the folio is no longer available for download from the Folio Producer Service.
    If it were, it should appear and have a "download" button next to it after archiving.

  • In the iDVD window, there is a box in the lower left corner.  When I scroll over it, I get the message to hide or show the intro movie.  Checking or unchecking the box seems to do nothing.  Can anyone explain?

    Working with iDVD on a project, there is a box in the lower left corner and sometimes another in the lower right corner.  Scrolling over the one in the lower left corner, I get a message indicating that this box hides or shows the intro movie.  I have checked and unchecked the box, but see nothing different in the project.  Nor can I figure out what is meant by "intro movie."  Can anyone explain?

    Go to iDVD Help and type in Intro Movie, and you will get the full version of this:
    Many iDVD themes have “motion menus” that include animations or video that loop, or play repeatedly, until the viewer clicks a menu button. Themes with motion menus have a motion icon in the lower-right corner.
    In addition to background video, iDVD motion menus may also feature an intro, or short animation, that plays once before the part that loops. Other motion menus also include an “outro” that plays after the viewer clicks a button, serving as a transition between the menu and the selected content.
    An example of an iDVD 6.0 theme with an intro and an outro is Reflection White Main. In this theme, the first drop zones appear in the intro, and the buttons and title appear just before the looping part of the background video. In the outro, everything flies offscreen after the viewer clicks a button.
    iDVD provides tools for viewing these motion menus without going into preview mode, which is especially helpful when you are filling drop zones, and for turning the intro or outro off.
    Here are ways to view and edit the background movie:
    ◼ 
    Drag the diamond-shaped motion playhead along the scrubber bar (shown below), to view the background movie, stopping wherever you like.
    (If you don’t see the motion playhead in iDVD, choose View > Show Motion Playhead.)
    ◼ 
    Deselect the checkboxes at the left and right end of the scrubber bar if you don’t want to use the intro or outro, respectively, in your DVD menu.
    The scrubber bar shows the intro and outro as shaded areas at the beginning and end.
    You can also control the intro and outro from the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (and with no buttons or text objects selected), press Command-I to open that window. Select or deselect the Intro and Outro checkboxes in the Background section of the window.
    NOTE: If you drag your own movie to a motion menu background, the outro is automatically removed. To customize the background and keep the outro, use a still image in the menu background instead of a movie.
