What's the power of spending more time every day in your IT career ?

What's the power of spending more time every day in your IT career ?
When you do the research to find the factors of the successful people, you'll find that they ALWAYS spent a lot of time every day in their businesses.
The IT technologies change so fast and explode. The performance of IT people with 20 years experiences can be EASILY catched up by a IT people, maybe you, who has only 6 or 7 years or even less if you spend over 80 hours or even more every week on your job and on the latest technologies.
The reasons are listed below:
1. The out-of-date IT technologies is no use anymore. It's like the out-of-date IT books. The people with 20 years experience can't rely on his last experience any more.
2. If you spend 80 hours every week, you'll absorb doubled the knowledge and experience than the people who spends only 40 hours every week. You may catch up with him who has 20 years experiences with your 10 years experiences. Not only this, most of your knowledge and experiences are newer and useful than his.
3. Because you spend 80 hours, you have plenty of time to focus on your tasks. When the task comes in, you may finish your tasks many times faster than him and you may be the only person who still has the time to do any extra or urgent tasks. Because you have more time, you may prepare your next task to be ready to finish your next task even faster and you may absorb the latest IT technologies from a learner level to an expert level while other people is still doing his tasks. And due to your more spare time to learn the technologies all the time needed to do your task, you have much more knowledge needed to do your task and can finish your task much faster than others.
According to my experience, if the comparison of the knowledge the worker has is 1 to 5, the real hours needed to finish a task may be 1 to 10. In IT field, if you know how to do it, you need minutes, but if you don't know how to do it, you need months to do the error-try or starting to learn it and do it. Please notice that the knowledge can be used for many times and the 1 to 5 and 1 to 10 comparisons will repeat again and again. Without spending more time on getting more knowledge, the comparison of 1 to 10 is still happening.
4. Like trying to save the money, most of his 40 hours will be spent on his tasks. He may have only 5 hours left to learn new IT technologies. If you still need to spend the same time to finish your tasks like him, you still will have 45 hours to learn new technologies. You grow 9 times, 5 hours to 45 hours, faster than him. If you keep working and learning the new IT technologies 80 hours every week, you'll find that you'll need much less than 35 hours like him, you may have 60 or even more hours every week to do more tasks to get more experiences and to learn more latest technologies.

1) LabVIEW is a graphical based programming environment and
LabWindows/CVI is a C based programming environment. Both can be used
for similar tasks. Users familiar with C may prefer CVI. LabVIEW is
typically easier to learn if you are unfamiliar with both.
2)
The Run-Time Engine is a separate component that can be installed to
execute LabWindows/CVI programs and LabVIEW programs. It is free of
charge for both LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
3)
LabWindows/CVI does not convert any LabVIEW programs into C code.
LabVIEW programs are already compiled as you write them, so you won't
need to convert them to C to use them. You should see similar
performance in similar LabVIEW and CVI code.

HP Pc310-1125f power switch blinks 3 times

Hi All,
Have a HP all inone PC 310-1125f. When power is applied power switch blinks 3 times. Nothing else, board shows power. Also when you push power switch the switch blinks 3 times. Have reseated everything, swapped HD,Memory. Does anyone have any ideas. It is out of warranty.

OK partial solution. The battery was flat. The owner is using a non OEM charger and it's not very good. Coupled with the CPU eating battery because it's flat out running all the virii, the charger can't keep up.
I'm cleaning the thing up now via safe mode. This can be closed. I'll post nack if I need more guidance.

Hp 630 power led blinking 3 times

Hello Brothers,
My HP 630 notebook is not powering on by battery neither by power adapter connected. If I press power button when its connected the L.E.D besides the power plug blinks 3 times. This happens till the battery is charged; if the battery is not charged these L.E.Ds don't even light up.
I expect the laptop to power on(when connected to wall outlet) even if the battery is out. Can someone kindly suggest what could be wrong here?
Thanks a bunch in advance
Regards

not really worth repairing when I can get a mini for less than the cost to fix it... any one want to buy it for parts?

HT3275 power shot down during time machine back up

power shot down during time machine back up
and now my mac is not booting up

Ouch!
I'm assuming it was actually a restore? If so, was it a full system restore, or selected items?
What version of OSX are you running?
And, just to be sure, are you backing-up to a TIme Capsule? If not, what?

I sometimes need to push the power button to 4 times before my laptop powers on?

I need to press the power button 3 - 4 times before my laptop powers on. Is the fix the same as not being able to power on at all or is there and actual hardware porblem?

Hi there @TASK1
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are having to press the power switch multiple times before your notebook powers on. I am happy to help.
Has this always been the case, or did it just start to happen recently?
Is there any sign of physical damage, or does the switch seem to stick?
Please post the full product number and verify the operating system in use on your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information.

My ipod has a blank white screen. I have tried pressing home and power button at same time and a restore and its still the same. Can anyone help please

Can anyone help me please? My ipod has a white screen that i cant get rid off. I have tried pressing home and power button at same time. I have tried a restore from itunes and its still the same. I cant even turn it off. Please someone help me.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HP 6735s won't boot, power LED blinks 7 times

The HP 6735s laptop stopped working. Only sign of life, power LED flashes 7 times after on/off switch is pressed. What's wrong, experts?

Try a hard reset. Sometimes it works and is always the first step to take.
remove the battery and the ac adapter plug from the laptop.
press and hold the power button for fifteen seconds.
install either the battery or ac adapter power and press the power button to attempt a boot into the OS.
If that doesn't work then remove the hard disk to see if it gets past the splash screen and the BIOS whines that it can't find a bootable OS. That would indicate a hard disk failure.
Also worth tying is removing the memory module(s) from the DIMM slots and then reinstalling them. That reseats the modules and cleans some oxidation off the module pins (if there is any)
Another, perhaps a laptopsaver (in a manner of speaking) is the HP Pavilion dv2000/dv6000 and Compaq Presario v3000/v6000 Series Notebook PCs - HP Limited Warranty... Check it and see if your laptop is covered.

G5 dual 2.0 dead? Power light flashed three times...

G5 dual 2.0 powers up, but won't boot. I'm aware the power light blinking three times every few seconds indicates faulty RAM, but I removed all sticks and tried them out a pair at a time to weed something out. No luck. I also put in a new battery and reset the PMU (or SMU, whatever it's called - the button on the logic board.).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I've just had my computer have the same problem with a faulty logic board being the problem. The local Apple tech said we had to get a service number from Apple to get it fixed. The Apple person (in the Philippines) gave us a number and said go back to our local Apple tech to have him access a repair extension program for the repairs. Are we being given the run-around because the local guy says he doesn't know about this program????

Restore power mac g5 from time machine

i have a power mac g5 that i'd upgraded to 10.5 leopard and backed up on my time capsule.
the hard drive died & i replaced it.
i reloaded the os from the only disk i could find - a 10.3 panther install disk.
unfortunately i don't think panther supports time machine.
how do i get to the time machine backup and restore to leopardly goodness?

nope, no others running 10.5 - i have an imac with yosemite, but nothing in between.
it's been a long time since i did them, were the upgrades to 10.4 and 10.5 diskless or am i likely to have install disks lying around somewhere?

How can I replace the power supply IN the time capsule

I have a TimeCapsule that has a bad powersupply. I have opened the timecapsule to confirm this. Has anyone done this before? If so, where did the power supply come from? Cost? I took this to the Apple Igneous bar and they said there is nothing that can be done about it.They said it couldn't even be opened, but simply peeling the rubber bottom off and unscrewing a number of tiny screws and that's it. The 1 TB drive is LOOSE in there. That was a bit of a surprise. I had thought that the issue was the drive itself was bad. I had hoped that if I removed that the AP part would at least work, but after opening it up and firing it up I could hear that the power supply was buzzing thus the conclusion it was the issue.
I am going to put the SATA drive in a reader to see that it is indeed ok. If that checks out, then I know for certain it is the power supply, but I don't know what to use as a sub since the unit needs both 12V and 5V. I'd just as soon find a good supply and use that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John A Kostelac

What version is your TC.. A1xxx from the rubber foot?
Power supplies are not available from apple. They do not consider it repairable. It is a sealed consumable.
Power supplies are available from ebay.. simply type time capsule power supply into search.
This is absolutely standard issue that has been ongoing for ages and ages.
See https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair
For a multitude of ways to fix it.
The 1 TB drive is LOOSE in there.
No, it is not loose, it has rubber mounts with pins in the bottom base plate. You cannot see the mount points with the base off. This is standard hdd mount for low noise and vibration.
I had thought that the issue was the drive itself was bad.
Drives seldom are the problem. The Gen2 WD black has been less than great though.. and later spinpoint in Gen3 not so good.

T|X won't power on - and loses time/date settings

I just bought a Palm T|X. After charging it, I set it up and then unplugged it. The problem is, it won't power up unless it's plugged in. When it does power up, the time and date settings have defaulted to 1/1/2005 00:00. However, it did keep the third party programs and contact data.
Any ideas?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

One thought: Return it immediately to the store where you got it, if you just bought it, and get a replacement or your money back. .
If you can't, call Palm and send it in for repair, or if you can, replacement. Palm has a couple of bugs, one is the start button. If you can't get it to start, then it doesn't work. For what you paid, it should. The reboot (which is what is resetting your time and date) may indicate a short or other non software problem. Don't fiddle. Get rid of it, get it replaced or get it fixed.

My Power Mac G4 booted from an OS 9.1 install CD, and then froze up. Now I turn the machine on, beeps 3 times, power button blinks 3 times. What does this mean?

I tried to install Mac OS 9.1. I turned the computer on, heard the bong noise (although with some static), and inserted the OS 9.1 installation CD. It started to boot, but froze up. I rebooted the machine, and the same thing happened. One more reboot, and i get 3 beeps and the power button is blinking. What does this mean?

Hi, it indicates a RAM problem, (or Logic Board around the RAM).
The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.
