Spoiler (Highlight to read)
hi good work skype, i have couple suggestions too, like post above would love to use skype from phone history or from phone book integrated to be able to choose to call that nummber from skype or send mesege from skype or send mms to skype or other way, contact book muss be integrated!!, number login integration like whatsapp, i guess thas why whatsapp getting more popular in our days. skype muss be like windows phone ui hd and opportunity to change backgrounds in it for different contacts, i would love to see fb posts for every contact to integrated somehow in people app on wp, to see skype contact and possibility to call, messege, or send file to it maybe connect to it like remote camera or desktop, be able to connect bluetoth device and use it with skype cortana and music, share playlist or now playing status, and maybe stream to client contact your recorded voice or music as ringtone skype should be inside windows like servise for streaming data, i guess usb out schould be to.. maybe wifi quick connect to skype services on wifi access point for business users like recording sound and cammera, shake mobile to send quick different hi msg to skype contacts, payment to skype contact?, ie web picture and favorite send to friend integration temrature by contact or in calender add contact from skype and send invitation...
would love to work in skype D have fun its just how i understand skype, must be fun to use it with different service too... like little skype apps just to call to friend differently, thanks for skype guys, i#m enjoying like it is

You could try these.
A.
1. Recompile your MyLib.util package which contains the countChar2 and countChar functions.
2. Restart the server.
B.
1. Rewrite the functions countChar2 and countChar to throw meaningful exceptions rather than Exception.
2. Compile the MyLib.util package in debug mode
javac -g <source files>
Maybe you will get a decent stack trace this time!
Hope that helps!
Manoj
PS: I would strongly suggest NOT doing two things
1. throws Exception
2. catch( Exception e )
// Do nothing at all...

Brainstorming here has always been very helpful for me, so here I go again :) I have my tank game... whenever I get to a good break point I post what I have here:
http://www.geocities.com/Malohkan/RoboTank.html
So I have the enemy's AI pretty basic now... at least to the point where I'm cool to leave it as it is until later. What I want to do right now is to have a shop in the field. When I run into it, I'm thinking I should freeze the current status of the game... like in my run(), have a "paused" boolean that if false, won't call the draw or the movement or anything of the game pieces. What will happen next is that I will call runShop() from my Shop class that I will have to create. In it I will have rectangles filled with images/icons to describe what they are, and I can use the Rectangle2D.Double.contains(x, y) method to handle whether or not I'm clicking on one picture or another.
Let's see....
In the run() I will have a switch case to monitor which screen is up. Each case will run a different method that draws different menu items. A single MouseListener object should be cool to work for the entire Shop class's functions I think.
OK now all that came pretty readily... I think what I need help thinking of is how to store the images and what they do when you click on them. I suppose I could have two arrays of Rectangles for the pictures. One would be for images that switch menu screens, and one would be for images that alter my Tank's stats (if you can afford the upgrade). A switch case could be used to handle which of the menu images are clicked and which method runs as a result. An array of integers could hold the prices for all of the purchase images. I suppose again a switch case would then be used to have the price compared to the current cash acquired and then the corresponding stat altered. So I guess switch cases would suffice for all that eh?
No need for a high fps or massive efficiency here because all that's being done is clicking images to maneuver through a menu. The exit button would return.
Cool I think that does it. Suggestions/comments are very very welcome. Thanks for the input!OK, I fixed stuff according to most of the suggestions.
Terrain texture would be nice, but won't happen right away, but I'll put it on the list of things to do. I have a feeling it's going to be tricky to get it to work smoothly so I'm gonna hold out on that one for a bit.
The turret rotating independently hasn't been implemented yet, but will be offered as a purchasable upgrade. When you get that the arrow keys will move you all around the board, and your turret will aim towards your cursor.
The tank was made less agile, and all of them smaller.
The "lighting effect" is simply a result of 3D Studio Max's rendering work thanks to the default lighting. The only purpose is to make the tank have a 3D look. Anything fancier isn't too likely because for one, this is 2D, and any 3D-ness is just added flare, and two, this is Java, and Java can be quite slow when you want to make things really look good.
Keep em coming and I'll do my best to add stuff.
Oh, and the camera movement I like a lot :) I made it recenter at a speed proportional to the distance of it and the tank, so it will move faster as well as smoother now, but the effect in itself won't go because if I have the camera locked on the tank, it's hard to know if you're even moving unless you stare at the radar, but playing by the radar defeats the purpose of having any graphics at all :) -
Hello, everyone. I've been using Arch Linux, among other Linux distributions for some time, and I think that one of the most important assets of Arch, among others, is its community, which consists of relatively knowledgeable users. We, the users of Arch linux, sometimes have bright and/or interesting ideas to improve our distribution. Those ideas can be posted in the forum, but unfortunately it gets lost among other topics. And also, we are unsure of other's opinions on our idea, what they may think of it. Or sometimes we are afraid, in case others think that our idea is ridiculous. I suggest that we create a site, maybe a "Arch Brainstorm", similar to Ubuntu's site, which could be a site dedicated to posting ideas about improving Arch Linux. Or at least, we could have a new section in our forums, just for users to suggest ideas, and discuss them with others. Thus we would avoid the problem of ideas getting lost among support questions, and other discussions.
Another thing, secondary to the main purpose of my post, is that last time I used Arch, I had to switch to Ubuntu, because Arch did not have ppp support in the kernel, and I did not have enough time/determination to compile my own kernel. I think ppp support should be included in the kernel, since many people use it, not just those who use dial-up, but people who connect to PPPoE networks, and people who connect using their mobile phone's GPRS/EDGE/3G connection.
I searched the forum to find any similar posts, but did not find any. I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed elsewhere, and if it has, please ignore it.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays,
Have a good time,

I am carving up an internet Class C for customer. This class C is used by 3 distinct QA, Corporate and Production firewalls. I want to carve up IP space so there is a /26 for each environment. The issue I have is the firewalls may need communication with each other via the public IP space. Currently I don’t have any L3 switches in between the firewalls and the edge internet router. So with subnetting, it would seem I need to push everything through the internet router for the intra-firewall communication.
I would rather not push this traffic through the edge router, so I came up with an idea to allocate all firewall outside interface IP’s in the 4th (last remaining) /26. That way, I can allow firewalls to communicate over the primary interface IP’s, which will all be in the same subnet – without going through a routing “engine”/device.
For the actual environment subnets (NAT's on respective firewalls), I create a static route on the edge router pointing to each of the firewall’s primary IP’s for the respective environment routes (the first 3 - /26’s).
This is still a beta design, but I have done this before on small scale when ISP gave me 2 subnets for example, assuming I was going to put a router in between the customer firewall and ISP. I would use the “routed subnet” on the ASA interface, and then pull the NAT’s from the other subnet. The ISP would have to add a static route directing the NAT subnet to the “routed subnet” correct IP - which would be the firewall outside interface primary IP.
I recently found out that with ASA OS 8.4.3 and up, ASA will not proxy arp for IP’s not in its local interface subnet. This means the ISP/router will have to assign static ARP entries on the edge router. This can get messy after the first few NAT entries. So I am debating the design now. I think this kind of stuff going forward won’t be worthwhile with newer ASA 8.4.3 code.
Any ideas on how to communicate between different ASA’s, while still carving up the Class C into usable smaller subnets? The primary reason for doing this in the first place is to support routing on the edge router. I am thinking it might be time to ask for another Class C to do the routing functions, and keep the firewalls all at Layer 2 in one /24 - Class C?I recently found out that with ASA OS 8.4.3 and up, ASA will not proxy arp for IP’s not in its local interface subnet.
That is a surprise especially as using a different subnet than the one used to connect the ASA to the router for NAT is quite a common setup.
Anyway as we are brainstorming here are a couple of options that spring to mind. Please feel free to shoot them down
For both solutions you still have 4 x 26, the first 3 for each firewall to use as NAT and then the last /26 for the firewall interfaces + the ISP internal interface.
Option 1
======
when you allocate the IP to the firewall outside interfaces and the ISP internal interface they come out of the last /26 range but you use a /24 subnet mask. The router will arp out for all addresses within the /24 subnet but the firewalls should only answer via proxy arp for any statically mapped NAT entries that they have. They will answer because the /26 they use for NAT are within the range of their outside interface IP because that is using a /24.
Obviously because the interfaces are in the same /24 range they will be able to talk to each other wihout bouncing off the router.
Option 2
=======
pretty much the same as option 1 except the ISP router uses a /26 subnet and has routes for easch /26 NAT subnet pointing to the relevant firewall. This way you don't have as many arps being sent by the ISP router. The firewalls still have to use a /24 mask to enable them to talk with each other. And the firewalls and router still need to have IPs from the last /26.
Both would need testing and i may have missed something but i would have thought both would work.

Need help brainstorming a tricky IMAGE issue
Hi,
I've been trying to figure out a simple way around an issue, but as i simply cannot come up with an answer, i thought I'd put it out to the community to see if i can get some ideas back.
I'm putting a Mobile game together, and I'm still establishing the foundations of it. One element is the idea of having all creatures and character to be able to look different. To this end, my proposal is to have a set of various frames of say different creatures, and with other items (like armour and weapons) in matching poses. For example, You would have say a person running in 4 frames. For each frame, there is a matching set of clothes frames for each pose. One coule be normal clothes, and another armour so when the character is wearing normal clothes, the system would draw to the screen the naked character and then place the clothes over the top. Proper transparency (using the PNG alpha channel) makes this masking effect work as it should and it seems to work okay here.
Here is the problem. What i want to do is to be able to represent say, a hiding creature as being partially transparent wether through alpha blending or dithering. I have put an efficient class together than can quickly resize and recolour any image and draw it to the screen, and can also modify the transparency via either alpha blending or dithering. Here is the issue: This will NOT work when building the characters onto the screen! the problem if no-one notices here is lets say you then make the system draw the person at 50% opacity to the screen.Great, it works, but now we need to put the clothers on top so we draw THAT at 50% transparency. Uh-oh... Because the clothers are transparent, we get an artifact of the naked character shining through the clothers we just placed on top. So, the solution WOULD be simple: create an offscreen image for buffering, draw the character to it, then draw the results to the screen at 50% opacity... WRONG. The only Mutable off-screen image you can make is one filled with white pixels! Useless: we get an ugly white box around the character.
The only two solutions i can think of are the following:
1) Take a snapshot of the box around where we intend to draw the character. This should capture the background. We now build the character onto the screen as we normally would but if we want to make them transparent, we then paste the original background image over the top at a sertain opacity. I see problems with this being a) The design on the game is already very lean on memory requirements. I have built my own image handling classes that only load stuff when needed and discards it when no longer needed and also block wasteful reloading of images into memory, but having to always take a snapshot of a box around a character prior to drawing will slow it all down immensly.
2) the class i use for transformations, recolouring and resizing does so by copying the image data into an array and then manipulating it. I've designed it very well so that it only ever holds one image at a time and loading a new image into it uses the same array and thus, never creates a new array in memory and then relying on the Garbage collector to reclaim it. Using this, i could render the characters to it, and then draw it to screen but the problem as i see it is that this would be very processor intensive and would most likely slow the entire system down.
Naturally, the ideal solution is to draw to an offscreen image buffer and go from there, but i think the only way to do that is to use the BufferedImage which is on an API that isn't widely available (at least, it's not on my phone and it is pretty new). I need this to be as compatible as possible, so i don't want to access any optional API's i don't need to. I would prefer to be able to do this transparency trick, but if i can't, i guess i would have to find another way to represent a hiding character in the game (I guess a Black silouette).
Any help, hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated!Okay, imagine you have a character running. The whole purpose of my design idea is to have it so the characters look different based on the gear they are equipped with (+Image a common game like Neverwinter nights, or WoW. Your character looks different based on what they are equipped with and no, I am not trying to create a game of that scale on a Mobile phone+). Naturally, the character isn't a static figure, so they move, run, attack and so fourth. My plan is to have a set of character frames in all the different frames, and matching clothes and equipment frames matching each cell (+we KNOW where their arm will be in the 2nd frame of a run-right action, so we would position say, a shield in the right spot. A clever appraoch is to be taken here for example, a right handed person would weild their shield in their left hand, and if they are running right, the shield would appear behind them and would be facing out, so the system would draw it in the order of "Left_Hand_Item->Character_in_the_Nude->Clothes_for_the_Character->Right_Hand_Item". Simple mirroring can handle any left/right directions as the frames for running in the different directions are also mirrored+). Essentially, the look of the character would need to be built on a per-frame basis. I am hessitant to build all of the frames of the character in memory at load time as I have the following action factors:
- The character can face in 8 directions being all the diagonals, Vertical and horizontal directions.
- The character needs the following actions to be available: Running, Standing, Dying -> On the ground (+This also counts falling down or sleeping+), Attacking / Swinging, Ranged attacks (+bow and arrow+).
- To at least offer some kind or animateable look, there should be at least 2 frames for each action.
As you can see, there is quite a lot. The approach i have already taken is fairly powerful. I decided to scrap the Java Sprites as it couldn't do what i needed it to do so i created my own caching system. A special MAP file stores the information on all the frames, and another class retrieves this on demand from the file, but only takes certain chunks. A initial class manages file access and loads the entire image into memory, and another uses this class to extract the frame it wants. When the other class is finished, the file-opening class then drops the full file from memory and attempts to reclaim the used memory. So far, it works well. The reason i have taken this appraoch is there is just too much data to have it all laoded into memory, it has to be done on demand and store as little information as possible. If i can represent 5 different characters by using a combination of other frames, i should have excellent results. I am trying to find a good balance between memory consumption and CPU usage. So, in a long winded answer:
--There are a LOT of frames that may need to be transparent at any one time.
--The amount of memory I'll need is still in the air at this point. As i build it, I am keeping a hawk-like eye on memory consumption and watching for anything being wasted (+using boolean where possible, If i don't need the capacity of an int, i use byte instead, etc+). This incidently ran me into the strong desire to utilize unsigned values as i don't need negatives anywhere, but I will have to live with that wasted bit.
--I am aware that not all devices support Alpha blending which is why I also aim to support dithering. For example at 50% transparency, more than half the pixels are fully transparent (+Some may already be transparent, so we're not going to go and make them visible!)+
--The transparent character is used to represent a character that is hiding. For example, you may have an Ally character being stealthy, so to make sure YOU the player can still see them, but represent clearly that they are in a special state, i wanted them to be transparent. Also, if there is an enemy stealthing, but you have detected them. I need to be able to represent that they have indeed been detected and that they can be seen, but they are still trying to be stealthy. So yes, one substitute would be to make them entirely black pixels and maybe even just draw the naked character black without any armour or equipment as a stealthing character would assume reduced detail. -
Hi all,
At the end of all the VLSM subnetting over at the thread below.
http://computernetworkingnotes.com/subnetting-supernetting-and-vlsm/vlsm.html
The user is left with 20 ips unused; on his very last VLSM is 192.168.1.224/30 it gaves him another 8 more subnets of 2 usable hosts each.
In which he has only utilize 3 of those, leaving behind 5 subnets left (20 ips)
3 of the subnets used below
Subnet
Subnet 57
Subnet 58
Subnet 59
Network ID
224
228
232
First host
225
229
233
Last host
226
230
234
Broadcast ID
227
231
235
q1) Is there anyway whereby instead of having left with the choice to use the 5 subnets each with 2 usable hosts for future usages, is there any way i can consolidate the remaining 5 subnets into a larger subnet with more hosts ?
if i set a new subnet with 192.168.1.240/29, will there be any conflict ? as some of the other subnet 192.168.1.232/29 will be in conflict with the subnet 59 as shown above, but i will not be using them. I will only use 192.168.1.240/29.
So far from VLSM, i am seeing it as taking a subnet and break it further to smaller subnet , but can we also like group the remaining smaller subnets at the end into a bigger one ?
Regards,
NoobSo the starting point is 192.168.1.236.
Try applying the maths I suggested to the above eg.
255.255.255.192 = 256 - 192 = 64
so you know the last subnet = 192.168.1.192 which doesn't work.
255.255.255.224 = 256 - 192 = 32 ie. your subnets go up in 32s.
Here your subnets go up in 32s and if you counted from the start the last available subnet would be 192.168.1.224 which is no good.
255.255.255.240 = 256 - 240 = 16 so your subnets go up in 16s. Again if you counted from the start the last useable subnet is 192.168.1.240 which is okay because it starts after 192.168.1.236.
255.255.255.248 = 256 - 248 = 8 which will also work but you are looking for the largest subnet.
So you now know the largest subnet you can get from your remaining IPs is -
192.168.1.240 255.255.255.240
if you wanted to use the other IPs you would then need -
192.168.1.236 255.255.255.252
ie. 256 - 252 = 4 and if you counted up from the start 192.168.1.236 is a valid subnet and the next one is 192.168.1.240 so it works.
If you entered 192.168.1.236 255.255.255.240 what that actually works out as is 192.168.1.224 255.255.255.240 which is not what you want because you have already used some of those IPs.
That is what I meant about bit boundaries.
You get used to the maths very quickly so I have been saying count up from the start but you can just as easily multiply the number in your head to work out available subnets and it does become second nature with practice.

Brainstorming imported Archives (JAVA) versus Z-TABLEs (ABAP)
Hi everybody,
we got very complex processes and I would like to ease them:
Instead of fixedValues in Message-Mapping we use CSV-files and store them in the imported archives.
In different message-mappings we read the CSVs via UDF.
The problem is that the CSV get often updated by the R/3-agents. So we have a lot of administrative work to communicate with the agents, import the files, transport and so on.
Thats the reason I am thinking of creating z-tables where the agents can maintain the values instead of updating the CSV. Also the agents would be able to transport the z-table entries.
But as the z-tables are resided on the ABAP-stack we would have change our graphical message mappings to ABAP-Mappings. This would be to much work for us and is not practicable.
Do you see a workaround or a best practice I do not see?
Thanks Regards
MarioHi,
Instead of doing all this work, you can do in simple
Use RFC LOOKUp in XI Mapping to pull the values based on the input value and Maintain the ZTable in ABAP Stack of XI or in R/3 itself.
RFC Lookups
The specified item was not found.
Use this crazy piece for any RFC Mapping Lookups!

Render XML in Portal - brainstorming
All,
Suppose we have a bunch of XML files - perhaps on the file system - perhaps in a database. Together, they represent an external content management system.
I'm looking for ideas on architecting a "document delivery system" within Portal R2.
Here are some of the requirements:
[1] Portlets created and added to Portal pages
[2] Content available to Portal (on filesystem or db)
[3] Hitting page renders content within portlet
[4] Change in content produces corresponding change in portlet
[5] Process needs to be automatic - only change needed is in underlying XML file - portlet sees any needed change
Thoughts?
Thanks!

My company uses a variety of workshop kits for their clients. These kits are all comprised of the same documents, but some include more (or less) copies of each one. The content of the documents changes frequently. Does anyone have ideas on how to create files that contain multiples of the same document and allow for those docs to be easily updated. I see something like a book file that contains multiples of the same chapter. Are there any other thoughts on how to achieve this? Thanks for your input and questions! -Doug

This is somewhat of a variable-data publishing task. InDesign has a few features that may be useful.
If the kits for different products differ by whole "chapter" files, then you could create a book file for each kit; each book would contain the pertinent files for that kit.
If the content within chapter files differs for different kits, consider using conditional text. Tag content for kit1 with condition1, kit2 with condition2, etc. You can show/hide conditions across files in a book by synchronizing the files.
If the same content appears in more than one place, either within a single file, or in different files, and it may be revised from time to time, consider creating the content in one "content source" file, and cross-referencing from the files that need to contain that material to the source file. When you revise material in the content source file, and update the cross-references, the changes appear in all locations that reference the source material. Cross-references only capture text, not tables or anchored frames within the text.

Brainstorming ideas for new infrastructure
Good afternoon,Wasn't quite sure where to put this so I put it under Best Practices. Feel free to move it if there's a better spot. It sort of covers all topics and is more of a high level conversation.I'm toying with a few different options so I want to lay it out on "paper" and see what others might think. A few weeks ago I started as the IT Manager for a manufacturing company with 2 companies under it's umbrella located at 2 sites. We've been experiencing 20-40% year-over-year growth for the last 6 years. An MSP has been taking care of things up until this point.Our current infrastructure looks like this:Microwave P2P between the 2 buildings.

Flex - Java Data transfer objects. How do you usually work ? (Brainstorming)
Hi,
I would like to explain you how I work and to know how you guys do.
All this discussion is just an example of how I work. I really want to know how other coders usually work. This way, maybe I can improve my code.
I would like to know how do you do when you want to retreive data into typed objects when these data contains reference to other typed objects.
Here is how I always work :
I want to retreive all my customers into a flex datagrid and to display all information.
Here is my Customer table structure (just an example)
id, name, refCompany, refLanguage, refCountry, refCustomerGroup
refCompany, refLanguage, refCountry, refCustomerGroup are IDs that reference to other tables.
To ensure to retreive all data into typed object, I make a Customer,Company, Language, Country, CustomerGroup, Flex and Java classes.
I make a query that looks like : Select * from Customer
My java code will looks like :
List<Customer> customers = new ArrayList<Customer>;
ResultSet rs = myConn.execSelect(query);
while(rs.next)
customers.add(new Customer(rs))
return customers;
In my Customer class, I have a constuctor that takes a resultSet
My customer class contains variables (refCompany that is actually a Company object (not an id), refLanguage that is actually a Language object (not an id),... )
Customer(ResultSet rs)
this.name = rs.getString("name")
this.refCompany = new Company.findById(rs.getInt("refCompany")) //This function returns a Company object
this.refLanguage = new Language.findById(rs.getInt("refLanguage")) // This function returns a Language object
Here is how I always do. I don't know if it is a good way because for each customer found in the database, I will make 4 queries (4 findById to find each object : company, language, country, customerGroup of the current customer).
But this way is generic, I don't have to make a specific query that will retreive all objects in one time. I select all customers, and in the constructor I select all objects that I have the reference...
The big problem with this way is when I retreive objects, I always retreive all referenced objects and I do not necessarily want it.
What do you think about the way I work ? How you guys do ? what is the best practice ?up...

Brainstorm: Nettere Datenerfassung
Ahoi!
Alle Jahre wieder steht zum Jahreswechsel bei mir als
Selbständigem zum
einen die Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung vom letzten Jahresquartal,
die
Umsatzsteuer-Jahreserklärung und die
Einkommensteuer-Erklärung an.
Jedesmal habe ich mich zu diesem Zeitpunkt darüber
geärgert, eine Kiste
voller Belege, Rechnungen und Quittungen gesammelt und diese
nicht --
wie es sich gehört -- sofort steuerlich erfasst zu
haben.
Es gibt ja auch reichlich Software-Tools, die einem es
ermöglichen,
diese Daten einzugeben, sobald sie auftauchen. Alle diese
Werkzeuge, die
ich getestet habe, haben eins gemeinsam -- sie sind stinkend
langweilig.
Das, und nicht etwa Schlampigkeit (! :-)), halte ich für
den
ausschlaggebenden Beweggrund für meine Abneigung gegen
regelmäßige
Datenerfassung.
Worum ich euch bitten möchte, ist, mit mir zusammen zu
brainstormen, wie
man aus dem simplen Vorgang der Datenerfassung etwas
Unterhaltsames
machen könnte.
Anders formuliert: Wie würde eine Software (viell. mit
Flash gestrickt)
aussehen/arbeiten müssen, damit _ihr_ Spaß
hättet, Daten (z.B.
Rechnungsdatum, Rechnungsbetrag, Umsatzsteueranteil, etc.)
einzugeben?
Jemand könnte sagen: "Bei mir muss jedesmal, wenn ich
einen Datensatz
eingegeben habe, im Anschluß ein schnelles Sportauto als
"Belohnung"
angezeigt werden."
Oder "Jede Daten-Eingabebox muss nicht einfach da stehen,
sondern
hereingezischt kommen."
Gern auch per Email.
Wenn wir uns vorher nicht mehr sehen... :-)
...schöne Feiertage!

FAQ+A der Newsgroup Macromedia.General.Germany:
http://mgg.christianscholz.comHi Kryz,
also ich kann deine Beschreibung gut nachvollziehen, drum
habe ich das ganze
an einen Steuerberater abgegeben, nun ärgere ich mich
zwar nicht mehr
darüber die Datenwüste irgendwie zwischen
Weihnachten und neujahr fertig zu
stellen, sondern über Rechnungen, die ich diesem
datentypisten bezahlen
muss, die für mich absolut nicht nachvollziehbar sind,
für die paar Daten.
Ich habe mir nun gedacht, ein kleines Exceltool sollte es
doch machen,
einmal angelegt und Daten rein gehackt und das ganze geht sau
schnell und
einfach ohne sich über Programme und Datenerfasserei
ärgern zu müssen. Das
funktioniert soweit ganz gut, würde ein cooles Flashtool
aber auch
bevorzugen, Deine Anregung mit der Belohnung für das
Eingeben finde ich
SUPER *g*, da sollte man doch wirklich mal nen Steuertool
entwickeln, was
uns als Kreative anspricht, ein kleines spielchen nach jeder
Dateneingabe
wäre doch auch ne nette Idee, um sich abregen zu
können, nachdem man
wiedermal gesehen hat nach jeder Eingabe, wieviel Geld man
grad wieder für
Vater Staat verdient hat und was einem selbst übrig
bleibt.
Ich wünsche Euch auch allen ein frohes Fest und einen
guten Rutsch in ein
erfolgreiches Jahr 2007
Grüße

Need help brainstorming site organization
So I'm just doing a wee little family site here folks, and I am new and would totally appreciate input about how to get this thing to flow nicely.
http://web.mac.com/vannic/
My Welcome page is "Family Home." In that nav bar I have only Family Home, GuestMap and Site Index. I then have 3 pictures hyperlinked: Nick, Graham, and Vanessa (me).
At the moment, each of those leads to its own site: Nick Home, Graham Home, Vanessa Home. Each of these sites then has its own stuff in their nav bars. I would like to keep it that way, i.e. I don't want Graham's video page in the nav bar of Vanessa's photos.
HOWEVER, I would like to be able to get to Family Home from any page. And I guess I wouldn't mind getting to GuestMap either. I don't like how adding a hyperlinked text box looks - and like I'm gonna do that on every page.... yeah...
So, any ideas??? TIA
~VanessaHi Vanessa!
HOWEVER, I would like to be able to get to Family
Home from any page. And I guess I wouldn't mind
getting to GuestMap either. I don't like how adding a
hyperlinked text box looks - and like I'm gonna do
that on every page.... yeah...
http://web.mac.com/varkgirl/iWeb/Aardvarkland/Nav%20Bar.html
You only need the first 1/2 of the directions on that page... Actually it would be pretty similar to how you added the guestmap (which, if you want to add to the other sites, you just do the same thing you already did!!!)
Add a page called "Family Home" to each of the other sites.
In those sites' pages, search for
href="Family%20Home.html"
Replace with
href="../Nick,%20Vanessa%20%26%20Graham/Family%20Home.html"
Message was edited by: varkgirl to say you could also add links to each of the sub sites to the nav bar of the front page by making dummy pages with the names of those sites and post-publish relinking them to the front page of each sub site. Does that make sense? Email me once you have your dummy pages set up and I can help out -
Office 2013: 10 Best Features You Should Know About
The new Office 2013 has some key updates that, while aren’t quite as dramatic as theWindows 8 from Windows 7change, still have some pretty cool features for mobile and desktop. Office 2013, will ship sometime next year at prices that have not been announced
yet. Check out the top 10 features:
Going Mobile. Microsoft has geared the new software towards a more mobile-friendly audience, allowing users to interact more
efficiently on mobile and tablets including finger and stylus controls that may help to spur Office’s migration to mobile devices. Another decidedly mobile move is Office Home and Student 2013 RT, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, will come
with ARM-based Windows 8 devices including Microsoft Surface .
In The Cloud. Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud service is being positioned to play a key role in Office users’ daily computing
lives. Office 2013 will save your documents to SkyDrive by default, enabling you to access files from multiple devices, including a smartphone and tablet. When you sign into Office from another device, your personalized settings and recently used files
are already there for you. The new Office is available as a cloud-based subscription too. Office 365 is now also available for home-based users as well as businesses. Subscribers will get automatic upgrades, additional SkyDrive storage, multiple installs for
several users, and added perks such as international calls via Skype.
Finger and Stylus. Office 2013 embraces touch and pen input. The touch and stylus features are geared towards smartphones and
tablets, as well as multi-touch laptops. The touch features are the same as users are accustomed to on their smartphones and tablets; swipe a finger across the screen to turn a page, pinch and zoom to read documents, and write with a finger or stylus.
Metro Style. Office 2013 conforms to Microsoft’s “Metro” look that’s pervasive across the software developers latest mobile
apps. The Office Ribbon in Word 2013 has a flatter look than its predecessor in Word 2010.
PDF’s in Word. You can now edit PDF files in Word 2013 (yay!). Simply open a PDF as you would any other document. Word maintains
the formatting of the file which is fully editable. You can insert pictures and videos from online sites such as YouTube and Facebook as well. And readers can watch video clips from inside your document.
Excel. Excel offers some useful upgrades including new templates for budgets, calendars, forms, and reports. The new Quick
Analysis Lens lets you convert data to a chart or table in a couple of steps. Flash Fill recognizes patters in your data and automatically fills cells accordingly. For example: if you want to separate first and last names into separate columns simply begin
typing the first names in a new column, press Ctrl+E and Excel will copy the first names for you.
PowerPoint Has Gained Power. PowerPoint 2013 now sports an updated Start screen with a variety of new themes and color schemes.
The Presenter View now makes it easier to zoom in on a diagram, chart, or other detail that you want to emphasize to the audience. The Navigation Guide lets you switch slides, even move out of sequence, from a grid that you can see but your audience can’t.
Presentations can be worked on from different PCs by colleagues to create a single presentation. Comments are allowed and presentations are saved online by default to SkyDrive.
OneNote. OneNote automatically saves your notes to Skydrive, you don’t have to click “Save”, making your brainstorming sessions
readily available across multiple devices. OneNote 2013 allows you to grab screens and add them to your notebooks.
Skype Has Been Integrated. You can now integrate Skype contacts with Microsoft’s enterprise-oriented Lync communications platform
for calling and instant messaging. Office subscribers get 60 minutes of Skype international calls each month.
Going Social. Office now includes Yammer, a secure and private social network for businesses that Microsoft tentatively acquired.
Yammer integrates with SharePoint and Microsoft Dynamics, the company’s line of CRM and enterprise resource planning apps. Office 2013′s People Card tool provides detailed information about your contacts, including their status updates from Facebook and LinkedIn.Awesome!
Thanks for sharing the greate experience here. This is a good summary of Office 2013 cool features which is definitely useful for those who want to learn about the new Office.
Thanks,
Ethan Hua CHN

How Rock Guitar Legend Slash Hopes to Hack Music Discovery Apps
Editor's Note: What do you guys think about the concept of apps helping artists with music discovery? Does it have legs? Is it monetizeable? Read and then let us know your thoughts on this thread.--ks
http://thenextweb.com/insider/2014/03/10/sxslashathon-rock-legend-slash-hopes-hack-music-discovery (via TheNextWeb.com)
Glance at this year’s SXSW schedule and “Slashathon” might sound like an all-night 80s horror flick screening. In reality, the title is fairly literal: rock guitarist Slash is hosting an artist-focused hackathon on Wednesday with the hopes of drawing in crowds at the perfect mid-point between SXSW’s Interactive and Music sessions.
“It was an idea that came up when we were brainstorming the launch of our new record,” Slash, also uncommonly known as Saul Hudson, tells The Next Web in a phone interview. “I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who don’t have a platform to talk about new tech ideas for music, so we hope that the event helps inspire software developers to create something unique in the spur of the moment.”
Despite having been involved in several apps and video games, Slash says he’s not a particularly techie person, and is mostly interested in music recording apps that aid artists on the go. “I travel a lot, so tuner apps or things that enhance sound recordings are what I’m most interested in.”
A fan of Spotify and Pandora, the guitarist says music streaming apps are great for artists to both discover new music and share with fans, and he hopes to see more apps devoted to helping artists gain exposure.
“This is what people do now: they go to their computers and smartphones and find new music, shows, and artists,” Slash says. “Spotify and Pandora have definitely helped soften the blow on musical piracy… making records is a huge business now, and these apps help artists feel like they’re not doing it for nothing.”
While he doesn’t intend for the Slashathon to necessarily “solve” problems — as most startups tend to focus on — he would like to see music discovery become more catered to recording artists, not just consumers.
“I’d like to see the trend continue on apps that help artists get the word out about their new records and local shows,” he says.
It’s not surprising that a musician like Slash is keen on discovering new music. Thanks to Guitar Hero’s repopularization of “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” it’s hard to escape a dive bar or TV commercial without the familiar rock rhythms, even for Slash himself.
But of course, he’s grateful for the multi-generational love that’s passed along, decades after the song emerged.
“I was definitely more sick of it when we first wrote, recorded, and played it,” Slash says. “But over the years… it’s one of those things where you have to appreciate that a lot of people still like it.”
The SXSW Slashathon takes place at Capital Factory, and begins at 9 AM on March 12.
