Looking for a real mentor

I am new to the programming world in general and I have been getting used to the programming mindset and reading like a med student while practicing in Xcode.
I am looking for a local, experienced Mac developer with patience to instruct and also "look over my shoulder" while I code my first apps. Mainly I need someone to tell me "there is an easier or better way to do that" or "you idiot" or "read this chapter" or something along those lines. I am brand new to programming, but have a high aptitude for learning and retaining. I have many questions and need some one on one instruction since there are not really any classes that are cost effective nearby. Consider it propagating the species or something cool like that.
In return, I know many projects that need experienced contract developers .
I am in the Fort Lauderdale area.
I also know of many people in the area that are interested in the same so maybe we can get a class together and you can charge them for the classes...Just a thought.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Murray,
There were a couple of reply's. I could not make either one work. I tried contacting you several times. The answer you gave me does not work. It is probably piIot error. would like to talk to you about it. Can I call you? If so, send me your telephone number and I will call.
Thanks for the followup.
Jim

If you are looking for a Creative player only The Zen V and Zen V plus are good options. I think they will satisfy most of your requirements.

Looking for a real photo editing app.

I'm looking for something that can precisely resize and crop. None of this slider bullcrap where you can't get pixel level precision. I'd like to be able to crop at exactly 640x960 for example, or resize to exactly 820x620, etc.. Something that can do non destructive edits and that can save a jpeg without compressing it so much that image quality is noticably less. Photogene2 is great (nice edit features and good quality saves) but it can't crop or resize exactly by the pixel. Phototoaster is great (nice edit features and non destructive edits) except it can't crop and resize by the pixel. How hard would it be to provide numerical inputs for crops and resizes? Is there anything out there really worth buying that can do these essential tasks?

Looking for a real "BitSet"

Hi all,
I'm looking for an efficient set implementation based on bit vectors. BitSet doesn't support the set interface. EnumSet requires you to know the set of elements at compile time, which I don't.
I guess I could subclass BitSet, implementing the Set interface, but I was hoping someone could point me toward an existing solution.
Thanks!
David

I didn't find anything in the Jakarta collections. So I went ahead and implemented a "FixedSet" which is like EnumSet but is based on a collection that specifies the universe at runtime, instead of an enum that specifies the universe at compile time.
For example:
HashSet<String> universe = new HashSet<String>;
universe.add("a");
universe.add("b");
universe.add("c");
universe.add("d");
universe.add("e");
// Fast bit vector based implementation
FixedSet<X> fixedSet = FixedSet.noneOf(universe);
fixedSet.add("a");
// Throws "element not in universe" exception
fixedSet.contains("z");To test the performance, I created a universe of 150 enumerated values, then a set containing 100 values. Then I ran "contains" 30M times for 100 elements, 50 of which were in the set. Results:
TreeSet: 25 seconds
EnumSet: 2 seconds
FixedSet: 10 seconds
Profiling the code, the performance loss seems to be in a HashMap I use to map the Object to its index into the array of all elements. e.g.:
public abstract class FixedSet<E> extends AbstractSet<E>
implements Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
// All of the values comprising E for this set.
protected E[] universe;
// For reverse lookup
protected Hashtable<E,Integer> ordinal;I have to do this because E doesn't necessarily have an ordinal value (EnumSet uses Enum.ordinal()). Unfortunately the hash lookup is now a bottleneck.
This brings me to my next question: I was thinking of replacing the hashtable by creating an inner class that extends E and adds an ordinal value that I initialize during creation of the FixedSet. e.g.:
public abstract class FixedSet<E> extends AbstractSet<E>
implements Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
// All of the values comprising E for this set.
protected EOrdinal[] universe;
protected class EOrdinal extends E {
int ordinal;
int ordinal() { return ordinal; }
}The compiler doesn't like this. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Not trying to flame NI, looking for some real feedback

I have been using LV since version 2.   Serious use started in version 4.
When version 7 came out, I needed another license and bought a copy but continued to use version 6. I tried installing 7 but it was so different from the older versions I removed it.    Recently I had to upgrade to version 8.2.1.    I have been using it for a few months now.    While it does have a few features that I actually like, the problems that I see with it far out weighed the improvements.
I am talking about things like speed, version 8 is a dog compared to 6. Just simple things like connecting a wire is very slow now. Other things like doing a simple drag operation where I draw a box around the objects I want to drag and the box that LV shows is some where in deep space. It selects the right objects, but seening the box not where you draw it just makes it not very smooth to use.   Then there is the moving of some of the drop down menus for no good reason that I can see. Some MBA or manager should have been fired over that one. Even after 2 months I still hit the wrong menus. Just from having used LV for so many years I have developed a habit. You poor people that need to run both versions!! Then there are the crashes.   I don't even want to think of how much time I spend trying to find functions now....
Some of this I am sure can not be helped I'm sure but the bugs with the select box, graphic entry speed and crashes are something I am not used to with LV.   Over time I will get used to the new menus as long as they don't move them again. This version IMO was the worst I have seen from them. We needed some of the low level features it has, so we are stuck.
My question is if I upgrade to version 8.5, has National just added more fluff that I will never use, or have they actually improved the graphical entry speed and made it a more bug free environment?

Thanks for all of your input.
We have a six licenses for LV and use it on a few different types of PCs. All run much slower now that we did the upgrade. The PC I am currently using has an Intel P4 3GHz w/ 2GB of RAM. It has an NVIDIA dual view something card with two LCD monitors.    When I upgraded to version 6, I was running on a PIII 750MHz with 512M and it worked fine. For that matter, I own a copy and use it at home on an old dual 200 MHz Pentium and it runs fine (yep that right). It's not just the startup that I think it slow (which it is) it's just the normal drawing that is a real drag for me. Run time seems fine still for the most part.   However, I tried to put the new version 8.2.1 on my LeCroy 8500A DSO to do some post processing. Just loading LabView with no pannel was enough to bring the DSO to it's knees.   I gave up on this idea real fast.
I am not sure what a big VI would be. Typical program for me may have 20 sub VI's, some calls to external DLL's to talk to some hardware and a lot of math. Looks like the current program I am working on is about 2 Meg in size total (all the VIs added up). Not what I would call big.
I like LabView. It has saved me countless hours over the years and I have brought up many prototypes and done a lot of tests with it. I just don't like this version. I'm not really into all the cute little things they add. I use it to get work done. If they have forgotten that feature (that it needs to actually work) then they missed the point.
I may just order one license just to see if there is any improvements.   It sounds like you have uncovered problems that I have not yet ran into so it may be good just to have it in my bag of tricks.
Thanks again.

Looking for an OCM mentor based in DK

Hello guys
Any OCM which would like to be my mentor for helping me in the OCM preparation?
He can be based in DK, but also in other countries.
Thanks

Hallo Martin
I'm planning to take the OCM exam next year, but I'm already preparing the exam by doing also a preparation guide with all the exam objectives and details to pass it.
Could we work together on that challenge or have you already managed to finish your quide?
Please let me know if I can contribute also and what is the address of your blog.
thanks
After I wrote the OCE linux prepartion guide I send an email to the [email protected] in order to validate that the document can be distributed and it is not violating the NDA. So I could publish the document on the intranet of my company.

Smartforms - delete old variables - looking for a real expert

Hi folks,
Is there any possibility in Smartforms, that I don't know, with which I can analyse my fom. I want to check which variables aren't needed any more. So that I can delete them and I have a nice and clean form.
How I loved my analyse tool in sapscript... I would write an new one, but I didn't found out how the texts are saved in the system.
Is there anybody out there, who can help me?
Regards
Silvio

Hi!
For an extended check you can do the following:
- check out which FM belongs to your smartforms (smartforms transaction - environment - function module name)
- go to SE37 - View - Check - Extended program check

Looking for good real time STOCK program for my Mac (free)

Hi there!
I wanted to throw this question to you guys out there. Does anyone know of any good, may be free, program to keep track of stock quotes in real time. Something with a real time running line with quotes. It would be nice to have something just sitting as a background on my desktop or as a wedget or in the dock, something that can do real time though.
Please advice.
Thanks

Yuri:
Yahoo Finance will give you real time quotes on specific stocks, say, in a portfolio. Many brokerage firm websites like Ameritrade offer Real Time quotes, too, but require that you have an account. Some other sites, and I don't remember exactly, offer a ticker tape type display; off the top of my head I'd say Intuit, CNN Money, MSNBC. Or you can try Market Browser.
If I think of anything else I will post back.

Looking for VCDX Mentor

Hello All,
Me and a college are currently working on our VCDX design and have been looking for a VCDX mentor. We have tried the VCDX mentor list with mixed results but haven't managed to find a Mentor as of yet.
If anyone in the group is reading this and interested in helping us feel free to message me here or email me at [email protected]
Thanks again,

We had 2 other VCDX mentors on board previously, however one dropped out early due to other obligations and the other one kind of went MIA on us. We haven't heard from him in a 2 weeks or so now. He was extremely helpful with our first meeting but we have unfortunately been unable to get of hold of him since. It could be a communication issue or he has just been caught up with other things. Non the less just looking for a VCDX mentor that could work closely with us until we submit our design or go for defense.
Ideally my first concern atm is just getting the design in the right format so it will be accepted for a defense. I will worry about the presentation / defense part when we get to that bridge.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks again

Looking for a good tutorial or book for 3D composite

Hi, I do editing for 3D animation at work (simple kind) and working along with 2 other 3D modelers.
We recently came down to the conclusion that we need to composite to be able to render our animation.
However, none of us really know how to do 3D composite, including myself.
(I mean we know the simple composite using alpha channels and such... but not to the point to using z-depth or shadow maps... etc..).
I was looking around online and book store to find out if there is any good resources for us to learn. I do not have much luck of it, unfortunately.
I'd like to have our 3D modlers to know how to split to all different layers for a clean composite purpose.... (like for me to use in Shake ). From what I found out, higher end composite, you can split most of the gemoetries its own object IDs, and shadow map/layers, lighting layers... (even they render separetely, it do cast shadow as other objects surrounds it, or refection..) and then composite in one scene.
I believe we create pretty good animation when we rendered them all together in one scene, and now we are up to the point that there are too many geometeries and render farm computers can't handle to render (and they are not lower end compters but they crash when we try to render with not enough memories).
I'm not really looking for having real footage as background and 3D infront .. that kind of composite...
If there is anyone can direct me to a right book? or online website to learn more of this stuff for all of us, I'll be really appriciate it.
Thank you for your time...

Looking for a leather case for the ipod Touch 4G

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a real *GENUINE LEATHER* case for the iPod Touch 4G, preferably one that has a belt clip.
I just wasted $34 on the new Belkin "genuine leather case with belt clip" only to find out it smelled like rubber and felt nothing like what real leather would feel/smell like. Totally disappointed in Belkin advertising their cases as genuine leather when in fact they are made of cheap synthetic leather.

You can right click your video file, go to "Get Info", and select the Video tab and change the file type to Movie, TV Show, or Music Video, and then once that video is synced to the iPod it will be sorted into the proper location.
You can also create playlists of your video content. That would be the easiest/best way to get your genre classification system going.

Looking for a mentor

Hello,
I am fairly new to web design, and I usually stumble upon little, silly problems. I am looking for someone who I could ask for help at anytime.
For help, I can help with basic errands web-design based. I could set up a web-site template, do simple coding and really anything within HTML & CSS for a bit of help.
My email: [email protected]
I just don't wanna have to post 15 questions a day on a forum, on which I am not sure if I will get a response from.
Thank you!

Looking for Bass plugin like Musiclabs 'Real-Strat'

Basically I'm looking for a very realistic Bass guitar AU that works similarly to Realstrat. It needs to cater for natural slides and ideally have performance repetitions. I've tried using the EXS patches to no success and I can't find anything on the market. There's loads of these things cropping up now (EZ Drummer etc) but I don't see a bass version...
Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Yes - wait for Spectrasonics' Trillian which should be here in a month or two.
Or, Scarbee do some excellent bass libraries for Kontakt (if you have that) - Black Bass etc which have performance articulations and intelligent on-the-fly automatic articulation switching.

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.
