Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Sleep Over the Pet Shop

Well, talk about "scary snakes:" http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/08/05/escaped-python-kills-two-young-children-in-canada/
If you live above a pet shop, with scary snakes, do not close your eyes!

That is why I’ve only allowed my daughters to have hamsters. They are so cute and cuddly. However, both hamsters have bitten my finger, and have drawn blood.
The ironic thing is that I have no recourse for these vicious attacks on me. In nature, when an animal attacks, the only defense is to fight back. Even though I weigh at 10,000 times more than them, morally I cannot squash them like a bug. I cannot call the police/Animal Control to report a vicious animal. I cannot sue my daughters for pain and suffering. Kaiser will not give me counseling for this traumatizing event.
Life is so unfair.

Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Go to the Grill

Well, the backyard grilling session will never be the same: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/world-test-tube-burger-close-meat-short-flavo r-article-1.1417763
I guess that one would serve "near-beer" with the "near-burger?"

they did great job... nice...
and YOU did great job on that ! good going ! really cool.
re: lighting , camera , etc.. I was watching my new antenna tv last night for a few minutes...( got rid of cable provider for tv so I can save $$ )... and was watching 'lifeboat'.
black and white, hitchcock IIRC ? and takes place on a small boat. This is hard to do. It would work well as a play on stage probably ( for all I know it was a play before it was a film ? ). But to do this as a film is very challenging for everyone. actors, crew etc.
For one thing it can get really boring fast cause you're stuck in this small 'space' ...( submarine movies are like this too, very challenging..which is why I liked Das Boot ). Also, there was some movie about conquistidors on a river ( raft ) ...by werner herzog
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068182/
that was really well done...in terms of being cramped for "space" but keeping the story dynamic.
Soooo, I was sorta watching the lifeboat thing and I know it's on a stage. It's not outside. I know it's lit to make it look like it is outside ( sunlight and big outdoor type lighting ).
I also know it is all 'hard light " ( getting back to the definition of lights )... and for the iso ( then it was called asa ) of the film, I KNOW the hard lights were arc lamps and really BIG hard lights ...
There was not a single soft light on this stage and the look of the thing was pretty impressive to me.
For one thing, it really looks like it is shot outside. Plus it looks like it is shot on the ocean. Plus it looks like these people ( actors) are really on a lifeboat... and THEN there's the actual story and characters and so on...
So when I SEE something done well, like your edit , and the product etc. I really appreciate it.
Thanks you warthog !

Just when you thought it was safe ...

Yes, I'm back. (Sorry Craig !)
I wonder if any of the Krazy Old Krew is still here that will remember me.
Anyway, just want to take a moment to mention that I've finally had enough free time to spend some reading the2nd Edition of Practical Workflow for SAP (2009) and I can't put it down. It's way more interesting than Avatar ...
Second, congratulatons to SAP for committing the resources to help Workflow into the future and congratulations to Joceyln, Erik, Ginger, Oliver, Somya, Silvana, Susan, Thomas, Paul, Mike, Alan, Shalini, Jorn, and Ted on a phenomenal, truly truly impressive job on the 2nd Edition !!!!!
Third, I'm back in a position where I may have interesting work-related issues to blog about again, so look for some upcoming blogs under Ranting (you know - the "no points awarded category - so no one can complain about point-harvesting) ...
Best to all, whether you remember me or not.

Thanks for the link to V's bloglist, Stephen.
Although I applaud both his effort and perspective as valuable, I do think he may be ignoring two very simple economic drivers in his discussion of SI's:
functional specs are relatively high-margin, low-risk work products
(low-risk because intrinsically untestable prior to actual development, high-margin because SI's bill out SME's high)
code is a low-margin, high-risk work product
(high-risk because intrinsically testable, low-margin because SI's bill out developers low relative to SME rates)
Are these key drivers in the SI business model?
And if so, is it any wonder that a project fails after being front-loaded with too many SME's who can never contractually be held accountable by the customer for inadequacies in their specs, assuming they're even still on the project when the inadequacies are discovered during development? Is it any wonder that there often doesn't seem to be enough time and money left to get develoment done properly and that developers must often participate directly with customer personnel in ex post facto "design by defect" cycles?
Suppose each SI were required to enter each of its SME's in a central registry along with the name of each of the functional specs the SME had completed for any previous customer.
Suppose further that for each of an SME's functional specs in this registry, the previous customer who paid for the spec could enter the number of defects that arose during develooment due to inadequacies in the functional spec.
Would the resulting information in the registry differ in principle from the kind of information which (I believe) is currently available to prospective patients regarding OR mortality rates of possible prospective surgeons?
(PS - that was not the upcoming 'rant' topic I have in mind ... it's way too obvious for anyone who's been around the block once or twice.)

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water ...

Well, I'm back on an SAP gig more quickly than I expected.. Sorry for the false alarm.
Due to the nature of the gig, I won't be maintaining as high a profile here at Coffee Corner ... I know that will please many and disappoint few.
But I will be asking my usual questions in the relevant Forums, and I hope to get as much help from the usual suspects as I have in the past (Uwe, Rich, Suresh, a@s, nxo ... apologies to anyone I've left out.)
In fact, I'm about to post a question about restoring MaxDB tables down in the Trial Version forum right now, so if any of you have had DOKTL corrupted by a hard "down" on your PC, you may want to follow the thread ...
Best to all

Damn it...! </kicking self> ... I thought of responding to your "Goodbye cruel world" post with an "I am sure you will be back", but didn't.
So you have a desktop in your hotel room, or did you convert the wardrobe closet into a server room and train the hotel staff to wear static-free Wellingtons (a.k.a. "gummboots")?
Cheers,
Julius
PS: Is there any way to place a "watch" on an SDN user ID?

Just when Anton thought it was safe to go back in the water ... !

Psst - Anton - I'm BACK (in the Scripting Languages forum).
But on the plus side, John Benson has put some cool PERL into my thread there ... in case you care to take a look ...
How would you code this in Perl/PHP etc.?
Best regards

Just when I thought it was all fine

Just unplugged my 3 GS FROM BEING ON CHARGE over night. Have done one hour and 4 minutes of web browsing/ sky news app. 3G usage and the battery is down to 21%
ridiculous.
I have been using it on and off since I had it replaced last week and had been getting 4 hours usage, broken through out the day. Which was on par with my 3Gso I was happy enough.
The only thing I have done differently is charge it via my mains adPter and not through the USB. THAT shouldn't make a difference though!?

How bright is your screen? Is Bluetooth always on? Is Auto-Lock on? Do you Fetch your mail manually, hourly, or is it set too push? Are you on WiFi connection, 3G or Edge, is your signal good? Did you charge it and drain it fully before using it, do you let it drain all the way or is it always plugged in to charge when ever it can. These are things to consider.

Just When I Thought All Was Well....

lol well here's another problem for you guys.
I synced all my videos onto my iPod, and they all work except for these 2 videos that I got off Veoh, that thing that lets you download videos. So two of the videos that I got from Veoh showed up in the Movies section of iTunes, & when I try to sync them the error msg pops up (Video cannot be synced because it cannot be played on iPod, and I click the plus button and it says the audio format is not supported.) So then I right clicked the video, and voila! Converted it to be playable on the iPod. One video finally was synced, but it turns out I can't hear it. sigh
Help?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

Just got a 5C, is it normal that when you transition from Siri to calling someone that the symbols along the top or screen go all feint and blurry?

Just got a 5C, is it normal that when you transition from Siri to calling someone that the symbols along the top or screen go all feint and blurry?

I have one it works fine. yeah, the Mac instructions aren't great. Try this.
(1) make sure you have your VCR audio and video outputs connected to the side with the two selection switches.
(2) be sure you know the difference between the audio and video outputs no matter which colors you use.
(3) make sure the indicator light is green on cable that connects to your computers firewire port.
(4) when you operate the vcr through Imovie. you will only be able to play your vhs tape. so to fast forward or reverse. you must use your vcr remote or your hand.
(5) to import your footage just click on import in imovie.
That should solve your problem. Also, in the future put these questions in the imovie forum.
P.s. if this is helps you give me a vote or two. LOL
anymore questions email me

When you do billing info do you get billed monthly or just when you purchase things

when you do billing info do you get billed monthly or just when you purchase things

It is no different from when you buy things using your credit card at a shop. IF you go to the shop today and buy something it will appear on the next monthly credit card statement. IF you buy nothing in th emonthly billing period then nothig appears on your card? Have you never used a credit card before? Are you for real?

mrredrunner100

i got my friend to message this person to see if they had the same problem, and the message went through and i think he got a reply, and all of a sudden this has started to work again (calls only) but apparently none of my messages went through that i have sent since the block activated. and they still havent even though there working again, and "apparently" a message was sent to me at 9pm today and it has never arrived. so imessage and text still isnt working, before i go asking this person about this, is this a genuine block or is there a phone problem?

I was trying to update to iOS 6 then I thought it was done so i left the wifi but now my screen turns blue and i cant use it.

I was trying to update to iOS 6 then I thought it was done so i left the wifi but now my screen turns blue and i cant use it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
