Newbie oraclephile, geology/GIS background, looking for content.

Hi, I'm new to the Oracle/database area, just switched from an environmental job into a help desk position in the Dallas area as part of my goal to work towards a career in data, preferably as a developer. Being that I already have a solid background in geology and have a good understanding of GIS, I thought I would explore the possibilities that relate to all these realms: data/GIS/geology/natural sciences. As I started browsing the web I started seeing 'Oracle Spatial' and references to ESRI. Could someone point me in a direction where I might find some content pertaining to how GIS data and Oracle products are being used together, what exactly is Oracle Spatial (I imagine it is not a visual component, so is it a developer application?), and any advice on how to advance my skills or maybe how to get involved through employment in a developer capacity (meaning how do I enter at a novice level?). I recently completed a beginner's level course called 'Personal Oracle' and plan on taking a PL/SQL class next, and eventually taking some C, C++, or Java programming. Any thoughts or advice in that respect?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Chris Mazur

Removing black background-(looking for transparency on title stuff)

OC, explain a bit more- because what David explained
is correct. If you export from livetype without
rendering the background, then the background is
actually transparent.
My assumption here is that after you do this, you are
watching the quicktime file that pops up in live type
after it renders- and it has a black background.
This is normal, but actually transparency is there.
Import the QT file into final cut and throw it on a
v2 track above another video image. You will notice
that there actually is a transparent background in
FCP...
If you have already done this and you are still
seeing black, my next question would be what format
are you editing in? DV?
good morning geniuses......
Rocky Rococo at your cervix...THAT WAS IT! I am the "slime"

THANK YOU to all of you who took the time to respond this
early A.M....David & eventually ENZO helped me pull my head out... here in the O.C. (but to all who responded...may th' good lord take a likin' to ya'....)

Looking for phone with the right PIM functionality

Hello, newbie here.
I'm looking for a phone that can synchronise with Outlook 2003.
Specifically I want to keep the notes I add to a meeting in Outlook. These often include an agenda which I need to run the meeting, or a number for a conferencing facility.
Also, I want to be able to link a meeting with a contact (or contacts) in the contact database so that I can call them easily if for instance I am (or they are) late.
I am underwhelmed by the E61, which I thought would be the most advanced business phone around. Anyone can recommend another model?

@HiveBrain: Did you ever find anyone to take you up on your offer? I am creating an iPhone app that has similar requirements, but I am trying to tackle it on my own. (quite unsuccessfully so far, I might add)
@Gautam: I see you mentioned frequency shifting with SpeakHere example. Would you say it is possible to do pitch/time shifting (change pitch without affecting duration and/or change time without affecting the pitch) with AudioQueues? There is very little to no information available on how to accomplish this and from what I've read, every one seems to recommend using RemoteIO (what AurioTouch uses) for any pitch/time shifting, even though the pitch/time audio unit doesn't exist on the iPhone. I don't need the effect to happen in real time, ie.mic->time shift->speaker. I will only be applying the effect from data in a recorded .caf file. So I'm not so concerned with latency. Thank you for any information you can provide!

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

Looking for recommendations for video/film background music resources

Hello
I am looking for background music for a client. I need to be able to browse samples and download them for client approval before purchase of the music license.
This will be for music that is playing behind dialogue, so I am looking for instrumentals and/or beats.
Thanks!

Here is a little LIST that I have been keeping. Some of the music and SFX are free, and some are for sale.
For background music, I rely heavily on SmartSound, and here is an ARTICLE on using it.
Good luck,

Looking for some best practice regarding Content Administrator access

Hi. I am looking for some best practice or rule of thumb from SAP or from different companies how they address Portal Content Administrator access in Production environment. Basically, our company is implementing portal to work with SAP BW. We are on SP 9. Basically, I am trying to determine if we should have 1-2 Portal Content Administrator in Production with 24/7 access or we should limit them from NOT having this. Can you share with me some ideas of what is right? and what is not?
Should we have access in Production? Or Should we have this access but limited? By the way, our users are allow to Publish BI reports/queries into Production.

Hello Michael,
Refer to this guide about managing initial content in portal.

Mac Newbie looking for short answers to multiple questions...

My computer experience started with the Commodore 64 in the 1980's and progressed to building my own Core Duo PC with 4 GIG RAM running 64 bit Vista Ultimate and several flavors of Linux. My only Mac experiences happened when I visited my elderly parents, who insisted on only using Mac's, generally ancient Mac's that they bought on eBay.
I was not interested at all in Macs and found the GUI very confusing to use. All that changed when my dad showed me the Mac Mini he bought. Instead of the hulking, slow, underpowered behemoths he usually used, this little machine was amazing. I had to have one, and yesterday bought a Mac Mini with superdrive and 512 MB of RAM, along with Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse. This was amazingly easy to set up, just starting with all of the PC stuff I have lying around.
Now, I need some one-line opinions from people who use Mac's, nothing complicated, just opinions. I don't need help configuring this machine, I just want to know what I can do with it. I find most people enjoy giving opinions!
--Is it worth it to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB? I wanted to do that at the store yesterday, but the salesman said that the procedure was too complicated in a Mac Mini to do myself, and I wanted to take the computer home right way.
--I use Photoshop Elements 5. Is it worth it to get Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac, or does my machine come with imaging editing software that does the same thing, just as well?
--I use Quicken 2007. I read a couple of reviews of Quicken for Mac from unhappy customers. Any comments?
--Can I use my existing external USB 2 or Firewire drives with my Mac Mini, even though they are partitioned as FAT32 and have many backup files from PC's on them? Do Mac Mini's write to FAT32 like Linux does, or do I have to reformat the drives?
--I use Acronis True Image to backup & image my hard drives so I can restore them if disaster occurs (as it seems to, rather often). How do you image a hard drive with a Mac, and is it worth doing?
--Is it worth it to use antivirus software on a Mac?
--Does anyone have any experience using open source software like Open Office or GIMP on a Mac?
--Are there any decent flight simulators that work on a Mac?
Please don't flame me or tell me to read the manual. I am looking for opinions, not instructions. I am also not interested in running Windows software on my Mac - I have had mixed results trying to do this under Linux, and I also have plenty of Windows machines to operate Windows software. Remember, the more people like me who are interested in switching over to Mac's, the better and cheaper the platform should become. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Glad you found your way to the Mac in the present incarnation of MacOS. Earlier flavors of it were perhaps somewhat less elegant, though I have always had a liking for the relative simplicity and the integration of features which tend to make some work more easily accomplished than on the PCs I have also used.
--Is it worth it to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB? I wanted to do that at the store yesterday, but the salesman said that the procedure was too complicated in a Mac Mini to do myself, and I wanted to take the computer home right way.
Yes, the memory upgrade is very worthwhile. A stock mac mini runs perfectly well, but when taking into account the RAM used by the on board video, and the possibility of using Rosetta if you're using any non-native software, 512Mb is really not enough for smooth operation. Indeed, you'll tend to get pauses which can become annoying, particularly if you want to run multiple applications.
The salesman really should have pointed out that while the procedure to upgrade RAM isn't really all that difficult, the mini is not intended to be opened by the user at all because there are no user serviceable parts inside. However, RAM is readily available from third party suppliers and with a little on-line research, is a fairly simple job to undertake. Two things to watch for: 1) that the memory comes from a supplier who will swap it without question, because Macs are rather more fussy about RAM than PCs tend to be, and 2), when completing the memory upgrade, ensure you reconnect the tiny fan control cable - failing to do so will leave the fan running at full blast all the time. It's an easy omission, and even the experts forget it sometimes!
--I use Photoshop Elements 5. Is it worth it to get Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac, or does my machine come with imaging editing software that does the same thing, just as well?
Depends on what kind of editing and image adjustment you generally do. The mini comes with iLife, which includes iPhoto, which has all the usual array of adjustment tools for brightness, contrast, color balance etc, plus a useful one for tilting images to straighten them if taken at an angle, but it doesn't include the filters and effects of a true image editing application. Photoshop Elements on the other hand is feature rich and easy to use, though at a cost. Personally, I don't like iPhoto much and use Photoshop Elements, though there is also a truly excellent shareware application called GraphicConverter, which started life as a tool to convert images from one format to another (hence the name) but is now a very feature-rich image processor in it's own right. Worth a look and can be tried out for free. Have a look at http://www.lemkesoft.com/xd/public/content/index.cGlkPTE5Mw.html
--I use Quicken 2007. I read a couple of reviews of Quicken for Mac from unhappy customers. Any comments?
No experience of this personally, but I'd check those reviews and any others you can find to see what it is the writers liked or didn't like about using the software, and see if that helps you. There are always unhappy customers though, so reviews in magazines may be more objective.
--Can I use my existing external USB 2 or Firewire drives with my Mac Mini, even though they are partitioned as FAT32 and have many backup files from PC's on them? Do Mac Mini's write to FAT32 like Linux does, or do I have to reformat the drives?
You can use your FAT32 formatted drives with the Mac though you are limited to files of 4Gb maximum.
--I use Acronis True Image to backup & image my hard drives so I can restore them if disaster occurs (as it seems to, rather often). How do you image a hard drive with a Mac, and is it worth doing?
It IS worth doing, yes. I use SuperDuper! which is first rate and free for making complete duplicates of a drive, or $29 for the paid/registered version to allow incremental backups. Works like a charm. If you use a drive partitioned in the GUID scheme (as the mini's internal is) you can even then set that drive, and the cloned copy of your system to boot the mini.
--Is it worth it to use antivirus software on a Mac?
Personally I'd say yes. ClamXav is open source (thus free) and reliable, has a marginal hit on CPU load and helps ensure you don't inadvertently pass on infections (it can also spot types of malware such as phishing scames). As yet, however, there are no known viruses/worms/trojans that affect MacOS, so it isn't critical at this time. However at some point it is likely there will be - in my view it's better to be prepared than to be left to react at the time.
--Does anyone have any experience using open source software like Open Office or GIMP on a Mac?
Yes. Like all open source projects, there are some good and some bad, but by and large the open source community for MacOS based systems is active and effective. Both Open Office and Gimp work well for example.
--Are there any decent flight simulators that work on a Mac?
X-Plane springs to mind.
There really are very few people you'll find in Apple Discussions who would flame you for asking such questions. Indeed, answering such things is one of the prime reasons we're here, and while there's always value in reading the manuals, it must also be said that in many ways getting useful information out of them means you have to know enough already to be able to work out what information you need from all the stuff available. Questions are easier to ask and pertinent information easier to give as a result!

Looking for a HTTPS/HTTP mixed content "sniffer" tool

I am hoping someone here can help me out. I am looking for a tool/addon that can point out exact what on the page is triggering a mixed content error. The browser will tell me that something on the page is not secure, but it won't tell me where or what the non secure item is so I can fix it.
Here is my recent example of this problem.
I had a issue with a HTTPS page with a doubleclick tracking pixel on it. It was a standard tracking pixel iframed on to the page and the page iframed was HTTPS with no cert problems. It turned out that the page being iframed has a javascript call that was HTTP and this was triggering the mixed content error.
Unfortunately it took me almost two days to figure out the page being iframed was making the non-ssl call, not anything on the site.
If anyone here could help me find a tool or point to a browser feature that I don't know about that could help me sniff out these mixed content error faster you would make my life so much easier.

You can glean a little more information from Firefox's Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j). Mixed content blocks generate a log entry in the security category. If you enter mix in the filter box in the upper right of the console, that should help drill down on the message. (Screen shot example attached.)
Now... you still need to figure out what is generating the request, but hopefully this will help.

Looking for a clone solution for Oracle WebCenter Content, Imaging and related products

Hi,
We are looking for a manual or automated cloning solution for Oracle WebCenter Content (UCM), Imaging (ICM) and related products. Oracle FMW has T2P cloning option, but we are looking for more specific to just this product to clone and configure (if needed). Any help is appreciated.

Hi
Assuming you have set up Purchasing with accrual method on receipt (and not on period end), you could enter the PO lines with receipt required. The receipt transactions you are uploading will generate the accounting to charge the expense accounts / or inventory valuation account.
There is no need to interface those also to Payables. In AP enter one invoice with the real monthly amount and match it to the purchase order level or to the receipts level. Approve and pay that invoice.

Ubber Newbie Looking for Basic Samples

Hello- I've spent the last 3 hours or so trying to create a very basic calculator in Flex (aka: add a couple input cells). Spent time looking through videos, reading documentation, etc. Much of it assumes programming background or web development experience of which I have little.
So, wanted to find some very basic application samples I could take apart and learn from. I found some, but they are pretty advanced and most depend on communication to/from the internet (tons of facebook and photo apps).
I'm just looking for a simple calculator/mortgage calculator application I can take apart and learn from.
Anyone know where I can find examples for super basic users?
Thanks!
- Mr. Bill

Here is an extremely basic example of one way it can be done. You of course would need more operators, conditional code to handle those operators, and several other functions and formulas - especially for mortgages - but hopefully this will get you started on the basic method.

Looking for background videos

Hello all
I'm on the hunt for various background videos, I have found IStockPhoto and Getty Images, but I was wondering what other options I may have and, was hoping for a few recommendations, I'm not really looking for anything specific cause it really all depends on what project I'm working on at the time....
Thanks

Is joke, yes?
Anyone know where I can find a red and white swirling, falling into the vortex,
There are several presets and prebuilts within Motion and LiveType.
kinda cartoony looking type
You mean text? Can't imagine text doing what you're describing without many carefully applied filters. Since the text is customized by the user, no.
background to key?
You mean key in front of? Or you want to key out the background? Huge difference and we cannot possibly read your mind.

Ok, Movies only in US.. that is fine.. BUT I only have Apps and Books to select. Where is my option to download my music again? I can see my purchases under my account but from the store trying to follow the described method - impossible!
I don't care about apps or books.. music.. I want my paid music. No wonder people pirate music?!

Looking for Vidoe Backgrounds for Chromakey work

I am an instructor at a technical college and I am using Premiere CS3. We have been experimenting with green screen chromakeying using Premiere. We currently use only stock photos for our backgrounds but now we are looking for suggestions for where to find collections of video backgrounds that will be formatted in a way that is supported by Premiere CS3. We tried using free online sources like Youtube, but we could only download them as flash files and Premiere does not accept it. I was hoping to here from people who have actually used some professional quality video backgrounds and who can give me good advice such as prices, file sizes, quality levels, best ways to shoot green screen footage for the backgrounds, etc... If anyone has a good source for video backgrounds and a good recipe for using them, I would really appreciate the advice.
Thanks.

I use iStock.com. It's cheap and good, and good quality. We do a series of greenscreen shoots of people at a desk, and key in panoramic pics of skylines to make them look like they are in a skyscraper. With panoramic pics you move them slightly when you change angles, or do cutaways. Or you could use those ridiculous virutal sets from Serious Magic , I mean Adobe.
