Email signatures, to (include) images or not, that is the question!

We just had this discussion internally and decided against it. When they work, they look good, but when they don't work, signatures full of picture place holders look terrible. I think it really depends on what kind of business your company is in and whether there is a benefit to the recipient to get a little web page in every email you send.

Greetings all,I am looking at options for email signatures for a client. I have used Exclaimer in the past for in-house Exchange servers and like it. I am trialing the Office365 version presently.Just looking for thoughts on if you include images any more in email signatures? I'm talking company logo at a min and a few social media icons and links at a maximum. I note gmail now block embedded images (and I'm sure they're not alone) and we're all familiar with mail clients that will block the other option, web based images and give the option of downloading them.There's much to be said for a nice looking signature I think with a good logo and but not OTT, whilst there is also much to be said for a simple text based approach and nobody receiving broken images or blocked links when they open your mail.What say my fellow spiceheads?...

HD Upper or lower interlace or not that is the question

Ok Im a bit confused and cannot seem to get a straight direction on this. I shoot in 30fps 1080i, I capture in HD via firewire, I edit and when outputting for regular DVDs do I encode UPPER FIELD first since the source media is HD or LOWER FIELD first because it is doing to DV.
When encoding with Media Encoder should I check the deinterlace button when encoding HD for a DV project going to encore or not check it...that is the question.
Where is my Commedore 64 when I need it?

Choose the correct field order for your
export format when exporting, in this case DV.
Choose progressive/interlaced depending on your export format when exporting. Since DV is interlaced, do not de-interlace.
Who needs a Commodore 64 when you have a Vic 20! ;)

To 64 bit or not, that is the question...

I'm finally able to build a new sytem and am wondering if 64 bit offers any advantages over what I'm doing now given what I do with a computer. First, lets get my specs out of the way so that if anyone with similar interests can possibly help me on this decision. As an added note, not that it makes a difference one whit, I'm going to be liquid cooling and a tad bit of overclocking may be involved.
Shuttle SX38P2-Pro
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor
ASUS EN8800GT GeForce 8800GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Now for what I use my system for. I'm heavily involved in graphics. I use both the GIMP and Inkscape intensively and to their limits (which is my main reason for my new build), so this was my main reason for the quad as I've discovered that my benefits may be extraordinary. That coupled with a buttload of ram (4 gigs) should give me a bit of futureproof to the bottlenecks I've been experiencing with my P4 1.5 from about 7 years ago that I've been experiencing lately. I've also been known to compile extensively just due to the fact that I prefer more bleeding edge features. I enjoy a challenge and will be willing to try out the latest widgets but am nowhere experienced enough of a programmer to try and rewrite an entire program that I didn't start to begin with.
So, can you expound on my dilemma and elaborate to the point where I can reach an informed solution?

To bitmap or not, that is the question

Hello my tuning friends.
I am running Oracle 11.2 (on Solaris 10) for a very active OLTP database, but that is also frequently used to pull reports on the most volatile critical table in the database.
My database has anywhere from 100 to 400 concurrent users.
Our application (REMEDY) is designed to put "tickets" in a single main table (with approx. 560 fields that 40 are clobs).
The dilemma I need help with is whether to put a bit map index on some of the low cardinality columns or not.
And, for that matter, many columns in this table are very low cardinality.
My fear is that I am afraid that putting a bitmap index on a highly active OLTP table might impede performance of ticket creations (new rows in the table).
Or, if I did it, can I have a job run every night that recreates the bitmap indexes on this table?
But what about performance on the table between the time of rebuilding the BM indexes?
In this case, this is a typical query that is run against our main table (containing approx. 6m records and is 16G in size).
When I look in OEM, I see that it does a full table scan on this table, and in this case, only returns 262 records.
Obviously, you can infer the columns in the predicate clause are very low cardinality (by the names of the columns and the values searched).
SELECT "Main_Ticket"."SHORTTICKETNUMBER" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."OUTAGESEVERITY" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."OUTAGESEVERITYTEXT" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."OUTAGESERVICESLIST" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."OUTAGESTATUS" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."OUTAGEOVERALLSTARTTIME",
 "Main_Ticket"."OUTAGEOVERALLENDTIME" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."CITY" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."STATE" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."MASTEROUTAGE" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."GROUPCREATEDBY" ,
 "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO"
FROM "ARADMIN"."MAIN_TICKET" "Main_Ticket"
WHERE "Main_Ticket"."OUTAGESEVERITY"<=2
 AND NOT
 "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'BBSG%'
 OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'CIA%'
 OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'DESIGNED%'
 OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'IHD%'
 OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'NABB%'
 OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'NCC%'
 OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'NFC%'
 )I'm assuming to put the bitmap index on "OUTAGESEVERITY".
Not sure about GROUPASSIGNEDTO, because it uses the LIKE function and may not use the BM index if it had one.
In this case, would a FBI be better?

The dilemma I need help with is whether to put a bit map index on some of the low cardinality columns or not.The whole "low cardinality" thing for bitmap indexes is very misleading - the primary consideration for bitmap indexes is whether or not your queries can COMBINE enough of them to produce high-precision access path into the table. (And, of course, they're almost always very bad news on an OLTP system).
When I look in OEM, I see that it does a full table scan on this table, and in this case, only returns 262 records.Is this because a very small fraction of the rows have "OUTAGESEVERITY"<=2, or do a lot of them match that predicate but disappear on on the next predicate ?

OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'NCC%'
OR "Main_Ticket"."GROUPASSIGNEDTO" LIKE 'NFC%'
)In this case, would a FBI be better?Depends on why you get only 262 rows as a final result, and whether or not you're allowed to change the code. A simple b-tree index on outagseverity with a frequency histogram on the column MIGHT be enough if there are only a small number of rows with outageseverity = 2.
An FBI might be more stable if this form of query is common and you are only interested in "rare" values - in which case a simple option would be to create an FBI (or virtual column with index) that was null for common values, and exposed the outageseverity for "rare" values.
If you need to cross-check the groupassignedto at the same time as checking for "relatively rare" values, you could create a two column index where the first column exposed the "relatively rare" values of outageseverity, and the second column exposed the groupassignedto only if the first column was not null.
You'd have to modify the SQL suitably to use the FBI's though - which is why the availability of virtual columns might be of some benefit.
Tables with more than 254 columns are a bad idea, by the way, and get worse for every (approximate) multiple of 256.

To Contribute or not - that is the question

Hi folks - this is my first post here so please bear with me.
I'm in the process of building a site for my local football
(soccer for all US readers) team - I'm using XHTML & CSS and
pulling it all together in DW8.
However, with over 18 teams at all age levels, to manage the
content on a weekly basis is going to be very time consuming, and
not something that I want to be involved with.
Therefore, I need a solution whereby the managers of each
team can easily add, remove, amend content on their own pages.
I've looked at CMS packages such as Etomite and Drupal, but
they seem to be very restrictive on layout of the site and won't
easily allow me to import my DW code.
Has anyone else come across this problem and found a cost
effective and easy (some of the managers are technophobes)
solution?
Hope to hear from some of you soon.
Thanks for reading this.
Dave
<Keep the web alive>

I have deployed contribute with schools and a community
website and it has
not been without its problems.
However, it is not difficult to use and I think an easier
solution than
trying to integrate a DW site with drupal etc.
Cost would be the decisive factor IMO

To re-install or not, that is the question?

I have an early 2006 intel iMac with OSX 10.4.11. Little things are starting to act up, but nothing really major. IChat doesn't work properly, I lose tunes in iTunes, startup sound went on the fritz and the little beacon on the front right hand side is getting dimmer. I used to have an old Mac Powerbook 180 (1993) and periodically, I'd re-install the system from all of the floppy discs and it would work perfectly and I'd never lose any data. Sometimes, I wish I still had it. Is it a totally different world now? Can I take the start up CD that came with the iMac, place it in the slot and do a total re-install? What would happen and is this a plausible idea? Or,,, should I just leave well enough alone? I feel like I just need to do a clean up of the system. Thanks!!!

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Rendered images are not appearing on the webpage. works fine on IE. All plugins appear to be present includeing Adobe Flash

rendered images are not appearing on the webpage. works fine on IE. All plugins appear to be present including Adobe Flash

If that only happens on a specific page or domain then make sure that you do not block images on that domain.
See [[Images or animations do not show]]
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of that "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
*You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
*You can see all image exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

TS3276 iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep

iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep. The only way I can reconnect the iCloud email is to restart the computer. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I would suggest you try opening "Mail">click on "Mailboxes" in the Menu Bar> and select "Rebuild" from the list. That may solve it.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Saving the domain file in iWeb fails. I have tried deleting the cache. I see that the file uploads to iWeb but the message is that the domain.sites2 file can't be saved. I note that duplicating the domain gives me different size files. Ideas?

I have read other discussions and my problem persists.
I note that duplicating the domain file user/library/applications support/iweb/domain.sites2 gives me files of varying sizes (I'm at around 200Mb).
I tried rebuilding the cache ../library/caches/com.apple.iweb - no change
I found a note to delete also a preference file ../library/prefernces/com.apple.iweb bt found more than one (.../plist and .../plist.lockfile) so ducked that.
The website seems to update out of sync - as if I have a domain file elsewhere (in the cloud?) that is saving on my drive later - that doesn't make sense of the comments I have read. My domain.sites2 file is stadily growing - so one interpretation is that files are being saved and the error message is the error.
This has been a problem for about a year as I have tried many alternative solutions. I;m looking fro somethign substantially different.
One repeated situation is that I write a new page and upload it. I get the usual error message. I visit the site and there is the new page. My domain (on my machine) shows no new work, so I copy the stuff on the web back to my domain and steadily the file increases in size. Bewildering.
Everything is as up to date as it can be. I don't reboot very often as my machine is rarley off.
I'm looking for different ideas and approaches.....

Although some of the following will be a repeat but try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Hi,
The problem could because of following issues.
1) The replication is not done properly
2) The XCM doesn't have Image server's settings(URL)
3) The Image server is not reachable from ISA application.
