Logo advanced/master techniques in Illustrator
I've been using Illustrator and learning an immense amount in the program, but I know that there are still things I need to learn when it comes to designing logos.
Here's a link to my portfolio work on 99designs:
http://99designs.com/users/618210/folio
Based on what you see in my portfolio section (without being rude ); what advanced/master logo techniques should I learn?
I am well aware that there are many Illustrator tutorials online (like http://vector.tutsplus.com/) but in terms of actually creating better logos; what techniques should I learn? (Like letterpressing effect or sticker effect technique)
**And No I'm not interested in how bad crowdsourcing is for the designer; I mainly joined to learn and hone my skills and it's working. **
Your logos are uninspired, which is not an issue of specific techniques, but rather a problem with design. They just are what they are - knock-offs of other logos and it shows. If I may say so: Turn off the computer, have a little fun with pencil, ink and paper, scribble away. Then explore how you could transfer those designs into the digital world and learn the necessary techniques along teh way. Or, IOW: You are hampering yourself too much by thinking about how to do things before even knowing what to do, which limits the exploration of your own creativity and developing your own style.

"Advance Synchronization Techniques for Data Acqusition is not simple.
I want to use a 6534 DIO to drive my instrument and a synchronized 6502E to do AI from the instrument. The developer zone tutorial "Advanced Synchronization Techniques for Data Acquisition" suggests some of what is necessary to change from using AO as the master to using some other operation. After installing an RTSI cable, "Synchronized AI,AO,DI,DO,CTR.vi" runs as-is. Has anyone successfully converted the "Synchronized AI,AO,DI,DO,CTR.vi" or something similar to having some other master than AO? I want to use DO as master, and have moved the start vi's to the initialization cases except that for DO, have removed DI completely,and have tried to get DO to transmit REC1 on RTSI1 and AI and AO to clock o
n the RTSI1 signal. The modified VI runs to completion, but I get no input at AI.Hi Bhanu,
I ran the program SAP_FACTVIEWS_RECREATE.It is also not fetching any data.In the monitor, the extraction shows yellow status and the Processing says NO DATA.I have not given any selections at infopackage level.
Please let me know what do i do.
Thanks in advance.

Advanced Development Techniques for Oracle Portal Components
Hello friends,
I have the following problem. I have a report and a form (on a
view) in the same page, and when I select an item of the report
the form is refreshed with the values associated to the selected
item. The problem is that it makes it with delay, the first
selection doesn't show anything and the remaining sample the
data of the previous selection.
This application has been developed as Ken Atkins explains in
its document "Advanced Development Techniques for Oracle Portal
Components."
Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.0
Thanks in advance.
This is my code:
-- REPORT --
SELECT '<A HREF="http://mipc/portal30/
ALFONSO.refrescar_contenido?
p_variable=nombre_preferencia&p_variable_valor='||nombre_preferen
cia||'&p_pagina=61">'||Preferencias||'</A>' nombre_link
FROM ALFONSO.PREFERENCIAS
-- PROCEDURE TO REFRESH THE PAGE --
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE refrescar_contenido(p_varible IN
VARCHAR2,
p_variable_valor IN varchar2,p_pagina IN
VARCHAR2) IS
v_Sesion portal30.wwsto_api_session;
BEGIN
v_Sesion := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session
('CONTEXT','SESS_EMP');
v_Sesion.set_attribute(p_varible, p_variable_valor);
v_Sesion.save_session;
owa_util.redirect_url('http://mipc/servlet/page?
pageid='||ppagina||chr(38)||'_dad=portal30'||chr(38)
||'_schema=PORTAL30'||chr(38)||'_mode=3');
END;
-- FORM --
-- ... BEFORE DISPLAYING THE PAGE
alfonso.consulta_preferencia(p_session);
-- PROCEDURE consulta_preferencia --

out PORTAL30.wwa_api_module_session) IS
v_RowID VARCHAR2(100);
v_Session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
v_nombre VARCHAR2(40);
BEGIN
v_Session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session
('CONTEXT','SESS_EMP');
v_nombre := v_Session.get_attribute_as_varchar2
('nombre_preferencia');
IF v_nombre IS NOT NULL THEN
BEGIN
SELECT rowidtochar(rowid) INTO v_RowID
FROM ALFONSO.VISTAPREFERENCIAS
WHERE nombre_preferencia = v_nombre;
-- VISTAPREFERENCIAS it is the view in which the form is
based.
END;
-- Tell the component that the query is coming from a link,
and that the rowid
-- is being used to query the correct context record.
p_session.set_value (p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name=>'_CALLED_FROM_LINK'
,p_value=>'ROWID');
-- Pass the rowid of the context record to query.
p_session.set_value (p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name=> '_ROWID'
,p_value=> v_RowID);
-- Now do the actual query, using the query button
processing in the target module
portal30.wwa_api_module_event.do_event
('DEFAULT','QUERY_TOP',1,'ON_CLICK',True,'',p_session);
-- Save the session information, which includes the
p_session.save_session;
END IF;
END;
/You can make the report with a procedure from which you may call to a form by means of a link. It is a possibility, no??
It is better a example:
TABLE A
campo1 VARCHAR2 (20)
campo2 VARCHAR2 (20)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE REPORT IS
v_cursor NUMBER;
sentencia VARCHAR2(200);
vnumfilas NUMBER;
rowid_pref VARCHAR2(18);
v_campo1 <schemaname>.A.campo1%TYPE;
v_campo2 <schemaname>.A.campo2%TYPE;
BEGIN
htp.p('<HTML>');
htp.p('<HEAD>');
htp.p('</HEAD>');
htp.p('<BODY>');
sentencia := 'SELECT rowidtochar(rowid), campo1, campo2 FROM A';
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(v_cursor,sentencia,DBMS_SQL.V7);
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,1,rowid_pref,18);
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,2,v_campo1,20);
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,3,v_campo2,20);
vnumfilas := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(v_cursor);
LOOP
IF DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(v_cursor)=0 THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,1,rowid_pref);
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,2,v_campo1);
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,2,campo2);
v_link := '<A href="PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid'||chr(38)||'p_arg_values=<form's moduleid>'||chr(38)||'p_arg_names=_rowid'||chr(38)||'p_arg_values='||rowid_pref||chr(34)||'>'||campo1||'</A> '||campo2||' <BR>';
htp.p(v_link);
END LOOP;
htp.p('</BODY>');
htp.p('</HTML>');
END;
the form has to be based on the table A.
I dont know if this example has errors, but have you the idea??
I hope it helps you out.

New Enterprise Manager Book on Advanced EM Techniques for the Real World
Dear Friends,
I am pleased to say my first EM book can be ordered now.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control: Advanced Techniques for the Real World
[http://www.rampant-books.com/book_1001_advanced_techniques_oem_grid_control.htm]
Please let your colleagues and friends and clients know – it is the first book in the world to include EM 11g Grid Control. It is a great way for people to understand the capabilities of EM.
Oracle’s Enterprise Manager Grid Control is recognized as the IT Industry’s leading Oracle database administration and management tool. It is unrivalled in its ability to monitor, manage, maintain and report on entire enterprise grids that comprise hundreds (if not thousands) of Oracle databases and servers following an approach that is consistent and repeatable.
However, Enterprise Manager Grid Control may seem daunting even to the most advanced Oracle Administrator. The problem is you know about the power of Enterprise Manager but how do you unleash that power amongst what initially appears to be a maze of GUI-based screens that feature a myriad of links to reports and management tasks that in turn lead you to even more reports and management tasks?
This book shows you how to unleash that power.
Based on the Author’s considerable and practical Oracle database and Enterprise Manager Grid Control experience you will learn through illustrated examples how to create and schedule RMAN backups, generate Data Guard Standbys, clone databases and Oracle Homes and patch databases across hundreds and thousands of databases. You will learn how you can unlock the power of the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Packs, PlugIns and Connectors to simplify your database administration across your company’s database network, as also the management and monitoring of important Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and the nuances of all important real-time change control using Enterprise Manager.
There are other books on the market that describe how to install and configure Enterprise Manager but until now they haven’t explained using a simple and illustrated approach how to get the most out of your Enterprise Manager. This book does just that.
Covers the NEW Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g.

so when I place the logo it appears with all the canvas. I just want the logo and not the canvas.
Open up the logo in illustrator and deleting the offending elements you do not need. When you place the logo, is should look like this.

Modifying Portal Initial logon pageThis procedure applies for EP 6.0 SP3 and higher.
The logon user interface (UI) of SAP Enterprise Portal is delivered in a liportal archive (PAR file) named com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par which
contains all the logon UI's code and resources. In a deployed portal, the PAR file is located at
<J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\i
rj\root\WEBINF\deployment\pcd.
During initial portal deployment, it is renamed to
com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak.
To customize the logon UI, we recommend the following procedure:
Modify the PAR file containing the logon UIs
1. Make a copy of com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak and rename it. In
this example, it is renamed to my.new.logon.par.
2. Move my.new.logon.par to a location outside of the
<SAPJ2EEngine-deployment-dir>.
3. Extract the files from my.new.logon.par preserving the directory
structure.
4. Modify files in the extracted PAR file.
5. Put the modified files back into my.new.logon.par.
6. Copy my.new.logon.par back to
<J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\i

I previously downloaded CS6 Master Collection and selected Illustrator and Photoshop. Now I need to add InDesign. I called a while back and someone helped me download almost everything, I think. I just need help with the next phase. They said something about deleting my existing Master Collection and reinstalling it? HELP! Is there a phone number I can call?
you shouldn't need to uninstall anything (and do not delete any files).
just run the master collection installer and tick/select the programs you want to install. -
How do I install Cutting Master 3 to Illustrator CS6?
How do I install Cutting Master 3 (plug in) into Illustrator CS6?
I have tried and it is not working.Hi Di in CS,
You can install any commercial plug-in designed for use with Illustrator.
To install an Adobe Systems plug-in module, use the installer if one is provided. Otherwise, drag a copy of the module to the Plug-ins folder inside the Illustrator folder. Then restart Illustrator for the plug-in to take effect.
To install a third-party plug-in module, follow the installation instructions that came with the plug-in module.
Hope this helps.

Database Adapter Advanced Polling Technique
I would like to create a polling database adapter on an SOA application. The data is statistical and changes frequently. I have developed the SQL in sqldeveloper to get the data (hard part done, or so I thought). I would like the adapter to poll the database with this query and fetch the results. I plan to use a sequential table to keep track of the fields at a separate database. Now, I understand I could turn the SQL script into a view and have the database adapter poll the view. However, my requirements are that the process be as unobtrusive to the database as possible. In other words: they do not want me to put that view on the database. So, my question is: has anyone created a database adapter polling mechanism that can execute a pure SQL select statement such as the one i have created. Of course, the SQL script is rather complex and it cannot be implemented using the TopLink commands on the database adapter wizard in jDeveloper. Does anyone know of a way i can do this? and if so, how? Thanks in advance.
Could you provide more insight on how you wired the adapter and BPEL process inside the composite? What does the BPEL look like? You could add a BPEL component that persists some stuff just for test purposes. That could give you more feedback from the console.

Advanced Programming Techniques?
I recently learned about dynamic programming, and it's really helping me with programming contests and such.
So I'm just wondering if there's anything else like dynamic programming that I've never heard of. I don't know what you call them, "techniques" was the best I could come up with.
Thanks.Chimera wrote:Thanks, one of the pdfs there looks really good (Introduction to Algorithms)
It doesn't quite answer my question though--I can find information on stuff if I know what to look for. I just don't know what to look for.
I've heard of linear programming and read a little, but are there any other..."foo programming" techniques? What are these things called anyway?
Linear programming isn't a programming technique at all; it's a class of mathematical problems.
Rather than tracking down "foo programming" techniques, I'd say your best bet is to educate yourself about algorithms in general. -
Fuzzy Logo/Artwork when saved in Illustrator CS6
Is anyone else experiencing an issue when saving artwork in Illustrator on newer Macs?
I have spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out the issue. I have Saved to Web, Exported. I have tried png and gif files. The original file is fine, but when I go to resize it to fit my web and blog formats, it pixelates it and it looks terrible.
Please help!allyandtuck,
Always create the raster image at the exact size(s) in pixels by pixels that it is going to be used at.
You will always have fuzzy/jagged images when you resize (apart from halving the size and similar reductions).
The safest way is Save for Web where you can set the Image Size. That window is also where you tick Art/Type Optimzed.
You should find out the right size for each website.
It may be noted that some websites have some strange conversion/resizing which destroys any quality you have obtained, whatever you do. That also applies to the Profile Images here in these forums. -
Advance Reporting Technique from Calendar Link
I have created a calendar with a namelink, and am trying to link the namelink from a certain date to a dynamic page that displays further information about the event on the date. I have a description column in info table which has the information. What is the proper context in SQL for displaying only the information for the date clicked. I figure I need to use a where statement? Do I have to pass the date parameters to achieve only the display the data for that date?
any suggestion?
