How are you handling your business listing on maps?

Did you have to add it to Apple Maps or was it added by one of the Data Providers?
Have you ever had a problem with information on it being changed?

Audiophilia,

How are you handling keyword sets?

After spending a little time keywording tonight, I like both Stamping and the "Assign this keyword to selected photo" options. Both are faster and easier than I anticipated. :-)
The one speed bump has been keyword set creation. It appears to limit each set to nine keywords. Is that right? If so, I guess you could divide long sets into several nine-word subsets. But if you want them in alphabetical order, what happens when you add a new keyword to the set? Wouldn't you need to shuffle everything that follows?
My temporary solution has been to create sets in the left Keyword Tags panel using "child of" nesting. This keeps that panel -- which otherwise sorts alphabetically without regard to category -- better organized and shorter. So far, I am keywording entirely from that side.
Does this make sense? If you need long sets or deep nesting in your sets, how are you approaching keywording? BTW, the more I use it, the better I like LR.

Alexander, what I'm asking about is how people handle long sets. If a keyword does not fall into the natural short-list category described by Mike, that doesn't mean you only use it "occasionally."
Suppose you regularly photograph species -- flowers, birds, animals -- or football teams with 85 players on a side. You don't want to type every name or drag and drop, do you? As Steve Jobs said of using a stylus: Yuck. Or Ick. Or Blech. Or whatever he said. :-)
The best solution I've found is to nest the lists in the left panel to shorten the panel, and then select images, twirl down the nested list to the desired keyword, and cmd-click to "Assign this keyword to selected photos." But that adds a step to the (IMHO) faster, easier system in Bridge.
Just asking if others have found a quicker way.

How are you handling battery issues on N95 ?

How are you handling ASCII 0 values

Hi,
I have noticed a strange thing with ASCII 0 values. in the process of database replication MSSQL to Oracle some columns in the source DB (MSSQL) have some of the values as ascii 0.
when i load this data with sqlldr in oracle and query the table this columns are not considered as null.
ex:
table_name : PriceItems
Column_name : Description
if i query the table with select count() from PriceItems where Description is null* the result is 0
if i query the table with select count() from PriceItems where Description = chr(0)* the result is 301 (actual rows)
how can we handle this kind of situations?
is this a bug of Oracle?
My Oracle Version:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
"CORE 11.1.0.7.0 Production"
TNS for Linux: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production

Ascii character zero indicates a NULL character. Not a null string.
A null string is a string without a value - i.e. a string that has no ASCII (or EBCDIC or Unicode) characters. Oracle does not discriminate between Ascii characters.
Character zero is used, on Windows for example, as string terminator. An empty string can thus only contain a zero terminator. And thus the confusion. An empty string is not the same as a null string in this case - but a zero string length implies the string is empty, does not contain characters (despite containing a char zero), and is therefore null.
The issue is inconsistencies in implementation and terminology. NULL itself is a very abused concept in software engineering.

How are you keeping your Apple keyboards clean in student labs?

I might be able to manage the software with ARD - but how do you clean out the keyboards? It's like they were built as dirt collectors.
And - Can ARD be used to admin. Macs on different vlans within a Win 2000 & 2003 server env.? Any tips, tricks re: this?
Thanks!

I might be able to manage the software with ARD - but how do you clean out the keyboards? It's like they were built as dirt collectors.
It's pretty much impossible to keep computer lab keyboards clean unless you use a keyboard skin. Otherwise, you just have to wipe them down and blow them out every now and then and hope for the best.
Can ARD be used to admin. Macs on different vlans within a Win 2000 & 2003 server env.?
Yes. No special "tricks" are necessary; just set the ARD scanner to scan the appropriate range in the VLAN so you can see and add the computers and it should work without problems (we have multiple VLANs here and ARD works just fine).

How do you add a business to Apple Maps outside the US?

I'm interested in adding businesses in my city because it's lacking a lot compared to google maps. I don't live in the US.
How do you do it?

I think adding and correcting Maps is done through the "Report a Problem" functionality irrespective of where you are - you can access this using Maps on your iPhone or your Mac, for instance. This article has quite a lot more information about what is happening and how to report corrections and updates:

OWB 10.2 - How are you handling time dimensions?

Hi all,
I am struggling with what should be a simple thing to do. I want to create a time dimension and then have many "roles" or aliases for the time dimensioin WITH UNIQUE COLUMN NAMES across all of the roles.
When the time dimensions are deployed to Discoverer, I want every one of them to have unique names and the column names within the time dimension have a unique prefix so that report users know which date column is from which table or dimension.
Here's what I've done and failed at:
1. Use the time dimension wizard - I can create any number of dimensions and corresponding tables BUT all of them have the same column names and I would have to manually change each and every one of them to get unique names (which may not even be possible with the wizard). Also, because I require ISO weeks, I can't really use the wizard at all.
2. Manually create a time dimension (that supports ISO weeks) and create multiple "roles" for it:
Thanks to a bug, I cannot exceed 4 roles without OWB crashing. Even with those 4 roles, when deployed to Discoverer, every attribute within the item folders has the same name. When I drag them to a report, there is no way to tell one from another. Is there some way I could do this without having to manually rename hundreds of columns?
3. I wrote an elaborate SQLPlus script to copy and prefix dimensions and tables from a base dimension and table. When I then import the Dimension to OWB, the metadata for business identifier and surrogate identifier is not there and any cubes using those dimensions do not work with these attributes missing. I can't find a way to cleanly reverse engineer these into OWB.
I have a cube with 12 dates - each of which should be a foreign key to a date dimension.
How can I have all of these be uniquely named with uniquely named columns?
How can I make it easy for my reporting users to select dates onto their reports?
I hope I am missing an obvious solution, because so far, I cannot see where Oracle Warehouse Builder supports such a basic data warehousing concept.

Well, since I'm the only one obsessed with time dimensions I guess, here is my ugly workaround:
1. I create a base time dimension in OWB which I named 'ATLAS_TIME_DIM'
2. I run the OMB script below which clones the dimension and table and renames the columns and attributes with a user supplied suffix. The end result is I get a full copy of the time dimension metadata with uniquely named columns.
You then have to deploy the objects, and with SQLPlus, ensure that the table gets its data copied from your original table. Hope it helps someone until we have better Time dimension support from OWB.

How are you liking your iBrick? Ive had mine for 79 hours now!

Listen everyone this is important.
DONT WAIT FOR AN E-MAIL!!!
Call them as many times as you can because there is most likely something wrong with your account!
If you continue waiting for that e-mail you have a better change of getting hit by lightning 40 times in a row on a blue sky day. Because it WONT COME since there may be something wrong with your account.
Here is what happened to me- it wasn't pretty. A loyal customer of AT&T for 7 years... the first to ask them about the iPhone in January, the first in line, and the LAST to get activated.
After calling them, I found out these problems- each from a different call, each from a different person.
1- My business account froze the system and prevented me from receiving an activation
2- I was on the old "blue" network instead of the "orange" network. I've been a loyal AT&T customer for 7 years and didnt find this out until now, this also prevented me from getting an e-mail (and they are now charging me $40 more a month to have the exact same plan... then add $30 more per month for the data plan!!)
3-After all the rigmarole over there, the AT&T reps forgot to activate my data plan... whups!
4-There was a random system error associated with my account which also prevented the e-mail
5-They had the wrong sim card going in for activation somehow.
and the granddaddy...
6-The idiots at the cingular store accidentally deactivated my sim card in my iPhone.
Wow- I'm glad AT&T doesn't perform open heart surgery, because I would be dead as soon as I set foot in the waiting room.
My advice if your phone still isnt working... Go to your AT&T store and ask them for a clean blank sim card and start over. I did it and my phone popped on within 5 minutes!!! Waiting around for 79 hours for something that I resolved MYSELF in 5 minutes!!
I hope this helps someone if anyone.
I hope this disproves that the switch theory applies to EVERYONE ON THE PLANET

I finally got my number ported over from Sprint this morning, but it took a phone call to AT&T to make it happen. I received my email two days ago stating that my Sprint number was transferring to my iPhone and that I'd receive an email when the transfer was complete. In the mean time, I could use my iPhone for outgoing calls but I would be unable to receive them. So, I kept my Sprint phone on so I could receive phone calls.
Turned out that the hangup was me keeping my old Sprint phone on so I could receive phone calls. Within a minute of turning it off, I received an SMS message stating that my number transfer was complete and I could make calls as well as receive them on the iphone. The AT&T support tech called my iPhone to confirm that it would in fact receive calls.
Had I known this two days ago... (sigh).

How do you transfer your play lists from one hard drive to another on the same computer?

I had itunes running on my old computer.
The mother board gave up.
Got another computer and put the good drive from the old computer into the newer one as a slave.
I have itunes all set up but can't figure out were to get my play lists and cover art to get them to the new drive/program.
Bob

Hold shift when you launch iTunes. It will let you chose a library. Chose the one one the slave drive from your old computer and it will look just like it did when you last used it on the old one.
It will be located in your User folder under My Music\iTunes

How are you immersing your kids in technology?

My kids are kind of techine nerds like me.
My son (12) wants to start up a Kickstarter or similar page to fund a new super computer and software needed to start his own Twitch channel.

Spicy moms and dads, this thread is for you! (Okay, I guess it can be for spicy aunts and uncles too...)Children nowadays have no shortage of high tech toys to play with... I've seen three year olds with iPads and seven year olds that teach their parents how to use a laptop. And don't even get me started on the ages of some of these kids that have smartphones. All of this is a true sign of the times. But in addition to the basic technology, there are so many different tools to teach kids about the technology they're using and how to code. One fun tool I came across this week is something calledLocoRobo. LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!What child wouldn't want to learn with this thing?! Even I want to play around with it. So what does this thing do? It's goal is to teach kids how to become programmers. LocoRobo is just a start up but they're...

How are you outputting your 24fps projects to tape?

Hi There,
I am just looking for any input on how everyone is laying down there 24fps projects to tape? We have found a method that seems to be working - but is very tedious and not perfect...
Here is the lowdown:
1080p23.98 ProRes HQ sequence -----> outputting to Kona LHe Card -----> To Sony DVW-A500 D-Beta Deck.
At this point, we are getting the Kona card to add the pulldown because of the dramatic increase in quality over FCP - BUT because we are going from a NDF timecode to a DF format there are the obvious sync and drift issues.
So here is what we did:
- created a sequence with the exact same settings as our normal FCP output sequence (1080p23.98) and dropped in an hour of bars with TC reader.
- Output this sequence to tape.
- The use the deck to go to the all the in and out point timecodes we will need - ON THE DECK ITSELF. Then check the broadcast monitor, to see what the timecode on the bars reads and insert a marker in the timeline for our inpoint and outpoint.
This way, although our output sequence looks a little funny in FCP (say for example, one minute or bars will actually look 2 frames short) by the time it goes to tape with the pull down inserted, it ends up the right length.
Now, the problem we are having is we can only seem to get as close as being a half frame from perfect. Our 1 frame two beep will either enter a half frame early or a half frame late, depending on where it is located in FCP - up until now we have always just accepted this, but it can be frustrating because it makes inserting any changes in an episode not possible. This is the same regardless of whether the tape was pre-striped and episodes inserted OR Assembled to tape.
If anyone has any alternates that are working better for them, it would be greatly appreciated!
NOTE: Outputting a 29.97 NDF tape is NOT a valid option - because aside from commercials, this would never be accepted by a broadcaster.
Thanks again.

No such thing as a "half frame" in video. Audio, yes, video...no. Full frames only.
This is what I used to do:
http://lfhd.blogspot.com/2006/09/online-workflow-overview.html
This is what I do now:
http://lfhd.net/2008/10/22/timecode-calculator/
Figure out what my NDF timing has to be to hit the proper DF timing when outputting. But if I had to meet Discovery/NatGeo specs of needing commercials to hit on 00 frames...then I wouldn't work in 23.98 NDF timelines...nor shooting formats.

How are you handling DistributedAccessExceptions?

We have been experiencing network "gaps" where we get broadcast storms and it
causes a temporary network loss for the end user. We use a pattern whereby a
central client service object updates via remote "persistence" service objects
to persist data.
I've done some testing by disconnecting my own network cable before I try a
"save" (which commits the data to the persistence mgr). My custom exception
handler catches the DistributedAccessException, and displays, "Sorry the
network was down, try again". Then I reconnect the cable, dismiss the
"network down" dialog, and find that the transaction completes on its own.
I wonder... can I always be assured that the transaction will complete once
the network is available again? When would a user need to try the transaction
again?
