Layout suggestions...how to make it better?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone might be willing to critique my
site. Please note that I have not yet begun styling the type, which
I will do later with CSS. Overall I am happy with my direction but
it's not quite singing yet...

Can someone suggest how to make an interactive poster?

Hello everyone,
Could someone suggest how to make interactive images using photoshop. A professor of mine created a poster that had interactive graphics that made movements when rolled over as well as graphics. If someone could suggest a tutorial it would be appreciated. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
Sincerely,

Images are not interactive on their own. There has to be more then an image file created with Photoshop. I'm sure the poster image you referring to was being displayed on some electronic device of some kind which was use by some image display application like a browser, that there was some programming involved for example interactive dynamic html, mouse overs , on click perhaps some javascript or even flash. And of course an input device like a mouse for a user to use. More then Photoshop is involved.

How to make sound better quality?

So I exported a preview of my animation but the sound isn't high quality. How can I make it better quality? It doesn't sound like when I press Enter in Flash CS5.

Go to the publish preferences and see what bit rate is set for the compression of the audio. Be sure to check both stream and event.

I think you have the hints in the wrong place - as far as I was aware, the hint had to come straight after the SELECT/UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE key word - but I could be wrong as I've never really tried it elsewhere. Also, unless the optimiser mode for your database is set to FIRST_ROWS or RULE (god help you!:), ALL_ROWS is the default behaviour.
Basically what you are trying to say is bring me back all ra_customer_trx_all rows that have purely numeric trx_numbers right?
Why, if you need to be able to represent trx_number as a number, do you have non-numeric data in there???? That's a bit dodgy isn't it?
Anyway, what about:
CREATE TABLE dt_test_num (id varchar2(10))
insert
into
     dt_test_num
select
     chr(47 + rownum)
from
     all_tables
where
     rownum <= 20
select
     to_number(id),
     id
from
     dt_test_num
where
     translate(id,'0123456789',' ') IS NULL
update
     dt_test_num
set
     id=id||chr(67-rownum)
select
FROM
     dt_test_num
select
     to_number(id),
     id
from
     dt_test_num
where
     translate(id,'0123456789',' ') IS NULL
/Also, you are selecting rownum and aliasing it. Why? rownum will be assigned before the sort.

Hello
Slight correction to the where clause. Art first I thought you didn't need the trim on there, but that was just down to the number sequence in translate...

Look this image, how to make it better

Can anyone help me to have a look at this picture? It was captured by the camera, and the camera is connected with NI 1427. The middle of the image is so bright. The gap in the middle can not be recognized. Please give some advices on how to make the image better. There must be something with the hardware setting. What should I need to do with that? Thanks for any help.

I assume you need to have the overhead lamp on for testing the solar cell? If you could turn it off during photos, that would improve your images. Right now I am guessing you are getting a good reflection of the overhead lamp in the center of your image. Having diffuse lights (like long flourescent bulbs) in multiple places would greatly improve your image quality. A general rule in lighting for shiny surfaces is to avoid placing a light where you can see its reflection in the image. This way you won't get any bright spots in the image.
If you could even tip the solar cell or camera a little bit so the overhead light is not reflected directly into the camera, that would help.
It is hard to make recommendations without knowing the limitations.

Painfully slow startup - any suggestions how to make it faster?

Hi Everyone,
Just thought I'd ask people - my 17" iMac G5 1.9GHz PowerPC with 512MB ram is painfully slow at start-up. Seems to take forever! Does anyone know how I could clear a lot of rubbish from my computer and someone make it faster.
Would anyone recommend a complete re-install - would that improve speed?
Any help appreciated, cheers,
Mark

Mark, you can clear space on your drive and speed it up by moving a lot of sound and video files to a DVD, or even better, to an external; Firewire drive that you can partition and also use as a clone boot disk.
Go through your applications folder and look for stuff that you never use, then get AppZapper to remove all traces of them. You can also use Monolingual to remove the tons of extra languages installed with Word and OS X, just make sure you uncheck English and any other language you might use.
Hope some of this helps,
Miriam

How to make a better trace

Using CS5.
I'm trying to take our old (probably) hand-drawn logo and turn it into a smooth vector image. I've removed most of the color in Photoshop, blurred it a little, and then opened it in Illustrator. I then did a LiveTrace. I end up with lettering that is kindof funky looking. I messed around with the different trace options, but noe of them seem to do the trick. Thetraced sample below is "detailed illustration". Is there a way to retain the look of the original logo without having to sacrifice a bunch? I'm VERY new at this, so I may be describing this all wrong. I've included the photoshop image and the post-live-trace image.
After Trace:
As you can see, there's some weirdness going on in the lettering, for example:the shape of the "S". How can I make this lettering look "normal"?
Thanks.
-Mike

The answer is what you're probably dreading, if you're new to all this - you must do it yourself. It's pen tool time!
This is a case where filters/effects/automation is only going to hurt your end-result.
Get your best cleaned version on the logo. Put it on a new layer and lock it. You might want to make it partially transparent - I don't like drawing on top of high-contrast images when doing a manual re-draw. All you need to see are the edges/outlines, afterall.
Lock your reference layer.
Draw on a new layer, on top of your logo reference. Take your time. Make it look good. Carefully craft each path, paying attention to each bezier curve.
If you know the font originally used, you might try and use that as a base. Manually warp each letterform correctly to match the logo. Might try a Warp or Mesh Envelope Distort.

Found Out Why Reception is Bad and How to Make it Better (BT Required)

When you hold the Iphone in your hand like the Commercial it actually looses reception because the Antena is on the bottom part of the iPhone, and you hand is blocking the anttena, so if u hold the top portion with two fingers careful not to drop it, it actually keeps better signal and less dropped calls, or when u leave it sitting in you lap or on a couter while on your bluetooth it keeps awsome reception, hope this works for all of you.

Interesting. I've not found that to be entirely the case.
I've used a BT handsfree kit in my car for a while and call quality and signal have always been stable, and remain so even if I have the iPhone in my pocket, lap or am holding it.
I also don't find much difference between holding it as per the ad, or setting it down on my desk. Signal remains at the same level - AND subject to the same fluctuations. Those fluctuations seem rather less pronounced since the 1.0.2 update, but are consistent regardless of how the iPhone is held or positioned. Just to be sure, I placed my iPhone face down on a glass table top, and witnessed the same signal as before when it was in my hand.
I think this device suffers two directly related issues: that it is less sensitive to signal than many other cellphones operating in the same bands, and that as a result it is more sensitive to even slight variations in those signals. Thus for some, in a strong signal area and with little or nothing to negatively impact signal, holding it almost any way won't change the signal. Others, in less strong signal areas or who suffer potentially interfering issues, will see significant variations in signal or call quality dependent on handling of the device or where it is located.

How to make a better Page Up/Page Down keyboard shortcut

I don't like the standard Fn + Up/Down Arrow shortcut because it requires two hands. How can I make a new one that can be done with just the right hand (like maybe Alt + Arrow or something)?

@gooballala - the fn + up / down is the only way I can currently do a page up / page down - that's my issue. For some reason it actually isn't listed anywhere in the keyboard shortcut settings...
@SwankPeRFection - is there some setting I need to change to make this work? As of now, Option + Up/Down does the same thing as Up/Down without Option - a very small scroll.

Flickr uploading is a horrible experience. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it better?

I am using iPhoto and I amd trying to upload several undred pictures to Flickr at a time.
The native iPhoto exporter hangs and crashes.
The Flickr Exporter plugin by ConnectiveFlow does the same.
The web based importer will also do the same and it can only do 200 pictures at a time.
I am considering Apeture, but does anyone have better experience with Apeture's native uploader?
Thanks

I don't believe there's a solution to that. I don't believe there's a way to upload hundreds at one go. But you could contact Flickr support and see what they suggest.

How to make Purging better in terms of performance

Hi
I am trying to purge(delete) data from 4 tables on the basis of a flag in the lookup table.
Now, there are 3 million records to be deleted from each of the 4 tables .
My piece of code is like this
for i in(select ids from lookup_table where flag_val='N')
loop
delete from table_a where id=i.ids;
delete from table_b where id=i.ids;
delete from table_c where id=i.ids;
delete from table_d where id=i.ids;
if commit_interval=5000 then
commit;
commit_interval:=0;
end if;
commit_interval:=commit_interval +1;
end;
I am trying to commit for 5000 records.
its taking a lot of time
like 10-12 hrs .
Can anyone solve this issue its urgent .
regards
shubh

Now in your code you have written delete statements for all the four tables. Now convert it to four different procedures each handling only a single table.
something like this.........
for i in(select ids from lookup_table where flag_val='N')
loop
delete from table_a where id=i.ids;
if commit_interval=5000 then
commit;
commit_interval:=0;
end if;
commit_interval:=commit_interval +1;
end;
for i in(select ids from lookup_table where flag_val='N')
loop
delete from table_b where id=i.ids;
if commit_interval=5000 then
commit;
commit_interval:=0;
end if;
commit_interval:=commit_interval +1;
end;
Run these procedures simultaneously.... say thru different windows/terminals.
Since these procedures are running simultaneously, the server efficiency will improve. Also make sure that the server is not used by other users/ less number of users so that max. resources are available for your code.

How could I make Siri better?

On the Siri official page, Apple states that Siri gets better by learning owners' accent.
Here comes the question: how does Siri get better?
I mean, once you used Siri and found the words are slighty off from what you actually said.
Most people might just launch Siri again and re-spoke the sentence again until Siri finally got what they wanted.
Is Siri able to learn the accent from this action?
Siri sometimes got wrong on certain names especially they're ones Nickname and probably not even a complete word.
Then Siri tried to make the whole senetence logical by changing the entire sentence which will result something completely off the original given command.
Anyone knows how to make Siri better and more personalized?

I'd suggest:
1) don't have setNumeratorr and setDenominator methods. Make the numerator and denominator final fields in Rational. That is, make each Rational instance immutable.
2) Give Rational a constructor that takes two longs. One is the numerator and the other is the denominator. The constructor removes common factors between the two and stores the values in their most reduced form.
3) The add method can probably be cleaned up give (2).
4) Don't name the argument to add "object". Of course it's an object. Call it "operand" or even just "other".

How to make Navigation and Topic panes scroll independently?

Can anyone suggest how to make the default Multiscreen HTML layout navigation and topic panes to scroll independently, to accomidate a long index or TOC? Currently, scrolling toward the end of the index, for example, causes the topic pane to scroll also. Selecting an index entry scrolls the topic to the location of the appropriate content, but also scroll the index, taking the selected entry out of view. I would like independent scrolling of nav pane and topic panes.
I'm using RoboHelp HTML 10, FrameMaker 11, TCS4.
Thanks you.

Your post has been moved to the Multiscreen forum. That does not change the link.
