Disappearing cursor after sleeping for the day

I just bought a 20" ACD and use it with my 12" PowerBook Rev. C. When I take my PB home for the night, I put it to sleep and then unplug everything from its ports. When I wake it up to work at home, it wakes immediately, but the mouse cursor has disappeared. If I move my finger on the trackpad, the computer responds, but without a cursor, i.e. I can activate menus, switch windows, etc. but only if I am lucky enough to land on that part of the screen. Logging out doesn't bring the cursor back, but restarting does. The same thing happens in the morning when I bring my sleeping PB back to the office and plug in to the ACD, this time using the external USB mouse to wake up. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

An update: To eliminate the disappearing cursor problem, I now:
- Plug in the display connection while the computer is sleeping,
- Open the PB,
- Plug in the USB hub connection,
- Close the PB lid to turn off the built in LCD, then use the USB mouse to wake the system.
When leaving the ACD at the end of the day, I:
- Unplug the USB hub connection,
- Open the PB,
- Tell the computer to sleep,
- Unplug the display connection,
- Shut the PB lid.
No more disappearing cursors.

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?

I want to accumulate rain for the day, month and year; What formula can I use?

I want to accumulate rain for the day, month and year; What formula or expression can I use.
I am using a Rain Wise product that converts pulses to an analog value. The Rain Wise device can be
set to measure up to 1", 5", or 10". I will be setting the unit to 10 inches in increments of 0.01 inches.
What I would like to do is everytime the signal increments I would like to count it as 0.01 then after reaching
a period of time whether it be a day or a month reset back to zero.
Need some advise on this problem.
Solved!

Hello Ryan,
Lookout gets a Modbus over Ethernet signal which originates as a 4-20mA input to a Moxa Ethernet I/O Module (E1240) in the field. In Lookout I created a ModbusEthernet Driver and a tag which scales 0 - 65534 RAW to 0-10 Eng. [0 - 10 is inches of rain] Also, another piece of information is that after the rain gauge maxes out at 10 inches it will zero out and start over.
I though the accumulator was time based and took a sample over a specific time period, for instance, one sample every 30 seconds then accumulate. If this is so then if I have 5 inches of rain and then it stopped raining, then 30 seconds latter it would sample, it would see 5 inches and add that to be 10 inches when actually it had only rained 5 inches.
I really need some help with this process,

Power down for the day

Hi, when I'm done with my laptop for the day, should I just close it or should I be shutting it down with the power button?

Hi A,
Either way is fine. There is no "correct" way. I used to just let mine sleep all the time, for years. Now I shut it down for security reasons.

Server goes into constant Full GC loop after running for a day

This is a servlet application running under Resin, with Java hotspot 1.5_13 on Linux 64bit OS. JVM args are:

From the log it seemed that the memory usage jumped by 150M to 250M within 1.5 second, even when the user traffic was very light (a couple of page views a second, vs. 10 page views a second at peak). The same app was running fine for many hours on a Windows dev machine in load testing condition with about 300M heapsize. No memory leakage was found so far. (it would be pretty unlikely to have such a large memory leakage without being noticed in dev and testing)
Thanks for any help.

A NewSize of 512m seems small for an 8G heap. This would probably cause most objects to be rapidly tenured into the OldGen heap space. (Ultimately depends on your application.) You might consider either using a NewRatio in place of NewSize/MaxNewSize or not use either and instead see how the jvm handles things itself with"-XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolicy"
VisualVM is a good graphical tool for watching gc activity.
NewRatio=1 is the largest you can go for Eden, which will set (Eden and survivor spaces) equal to oldGen space. ie, for 8G, 4g each.
Watch activity in the gc tool, you will see "sawtooth" activity. If your sawtooth pattern does not maintain a flat profile, then you have in fact have a memory leak.

Temporary cancel a recurring alarm for the day?

Is it possible to cancel a recurring alarm for the day? For instance, if I wake up early before the alarm goes off, I'd like to cancel the alarm from going off just for that morning. For now, I simply disable the alarm when I get up and then enable it again later in the night before I go to sleep. The problem with this is that I sometimes forget to enable it again.
Maybe the iOS clock app doesn't have this function but perhaps there are other alarm clock apps that can do this?

How do I choose which items appear when I open my Imac for the day?

How do I choose which items appear on the screen when I open my Imac (intel) for the day, after shutting down the night before? Thank you. ArmandL

There are two ways. Mt Lion and Lion have a feature that launches all programs that were running when you logged out or shut down. You can toggle this feature on and off when you shutdown/log out. Or you can set up login items in your user settings which will automatically launch any program you set there. To do this launch System Preferences, select Users and Groups and click on the Login Items but near the top part of the dialog. Click on the + button to add programs you want to be launched when you login or start up the computer.

There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14). And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update. The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily.

I would like to add content that changes on a calendar basis, such as 'thought for the day". It can then display a different text or image on a nominated day. Can this be done? Robert.

OK Thanks Brad.
I could use Tockify of course, but wanted to create the same things on an existing site.
I do not know how to copy the code and get it onto Muse, but that’s OK for now. I will work something else out.

Range Partitioning for the day of the week

I have a logging table which i want to partition into 7 partition, each one for the day of the week, eg MON,TUE, WED. I am aware and I can do a list partition by creating a parition key which stores 'DY' of the week and this means that I need to add another column to the existing table.
I wanted to explore the option of creating a range parition based on the timestamp column that already exists. Can anyone let me know if this option is possible?
Example
create table test_partition
( log_id number,
log_date TIMESTAMP(6),
log_value varchar2(100)
PARTITION BY RANGE (log_date)
PARTITION p1_mon VALUES LESS THAN (), ---- Not sure what can be used here to create this parition.
PARTITION p2_tue VALUES LESS THAN (),
PARTITION p3_wed VALUES LESS THAN (),
PARTITION p4_thu VALUES LESS THAN (),
PARTITION p5_fri VALUES LESS THAN (),
PARTITION p6_sat VALUES LESS THAN (),
PARTITION p7_sun VALUES LESS THAN ()
Any oracle guru with some suggestion for this would be highly appreciated..
Cheers,
VJ

VJ,
Here is an example of daily partitioning , let me know if this is what you want or you can modify this even to weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly partitions.
CREATE TABLE YY_EVENT
PART_KEY       DATE                           NOT NULL,
SUBPART_VALUE NUMBER                             NULL,
EVENT_NAME     VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)                  NULL,
EVENT_VALUE    NUMBER                             NULL
TABLESPACE TEST_DATA
PARTITION BY RANGE (PART_KEY)
PARTITION Y_EVENT_20090310 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE(' 2009-03-11 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
    LOGGING
    NOCOMPRESS
    TABLESPACE TEST_DATA,
PARTITION Y_EVENT_20090311 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE(' 2009-03-12 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))

Query to get the details of Blocking and deadlock occurred for the Day

Hi,
I need a query to get the details of blocking and deadlock occurred for the day.

You havent specified which version of SQL you are using which makes it difficult to give a solution. Assuming its latest versions , by default SQL Server (in any versions) doesnt track blocking information.
You need to run some kind of queries/traces to capture blocking. The same goes with Deadlocks where majority of the DBA's enable trace flag 1222/1205 when they suspect deadlocks happening.
Check this link -
http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/10644/deadlock-error-isnt-returning-the-deadlock-sql/10646#10646
This link gives code to get historic deadlock information. I havent used it , I just googled to get that.
That being said if you are looking for something to capture for the future check the below links.
Check these links on how to setup extended events to capture deadlock and blocking.

When setting the split-days to "every 15 minutes," the week and comparison views show incorrect time ranges for the day

When I change the "split-days" interval time, under Options > Settings, to
15, or every 15 minutes, the week and comparison views don't show the correct
time range for the day.
<P>
For example, if I click View to display the calendar and then click Week to get
a weekly view, the time range displayed is from 6:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. If I click Comparison to get a
comparison view, the time range displayed is from 12 p.m.
to 6:45 p.m.
<P>
In this example, should both of these views show the same time range, from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.?
No, the two views will not necessarily show the same time range. The time
range for the comparison view will start at the beginning prefs time only
if you have something scheduled (on any day of the week) starting at that
time. For example, on one of the days during your week of comparison, if you
create an event that starts at 9:00 a.m. and then open the comparison view, the
time range displayed will start with 9:00 a.m.
<P>
Additionally, view times will expand past the configured settings if events
span past the time range. That is, if you have an event that spans from
5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the event will be reflected in the view, even though
your time range may be set to go only to 6:00 p.m.

Umm yes.
The settings are stored in ''prefs.js'', so you could swap various copies of this file in and out.
However, the system will load ''prefs.js'', then, if present, ''user.js'' , so you can set up just your changes in ''user.js'' .
The sort of line you need to look for is like this:
<code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
You'll need to do some research to identify which of your accounts is which.
Search for the account's email address:
<code>user_pref("mail.identity.id10.useremail", "xenos@example.com");</code>
Use the id number to locate the account number:
<code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.identities", "id10");</code>
Use the account number to find the server number:
<code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.server", "server14");</code>
Finally, you can then use the server number find the account's time setting:
<code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
This last entry may not exist, if you have never changed the setting from the default 10 minutes.
Do be careful with your typing and copy/pasting; if the file fails the syntax parser it will silently fail.
And make sure Thunderbird is shut down when you do the swap. If it's open, it may overwrite changes, and in any case, it only reads the settings file when it starts up.
