Random date stamps

I teach a class of students that maintain roughly a dozen
websites for our school. It's important to show when a site has
been updated, so I've had each of my students insert on the bottom
of each of their sites a date stamp that automatically updates on
save (we all use DW8). However, recently we've noticed that some of
our sites are showing a random placement of the date stamp within
individual pages (nowhere near the original date), or three or four
instances of the date right next to the date (without updating).
I've searched on this forum and found several other instances
of people having this problem (mainly in MX), but there appears to
be no cause or resolution (the posts were dated nearly a year ago).
Any new ideas? We literally have to edit the code to erase these
random insertions. Is there a workaround, or do we need to just
manually type in the date that we've updated? Please note that some
of these sites use a style sheet with the date, some do not -- the
outcome is the same; some pages within the site are affected, and
some are not.
Thanks.

It's posted from time to time here. I have no idea what
causes it.
Frankly, I don't (and wouldn't) use that feature, anyhow.

  • The "More Everything Plan" is ruining my life!  (and adding random data charges to my bill)

    Hello,
    I recently changed my data plan a few months ago to the 6 GB Data plan with 2 phones tied to my service when I upgraded my phone to the Samsung Galaxy 5.  For the most part my wife and I have been doing pretty good at keeping the our monthly data usage down to the 6 GB.  On Nov 4th was I upgraded to the new 10 GB my everything plan and ever since that change, my account has been making RANDOM data charges at all hours of the night!  I pulled both my wife's Data Usage report and my own and compared them. 
    Looking at my wife's data usage below, you can clearly see that there are automated data spikes that her phone went through on the same exact time on different days!  Looking at the dates, these spikes did not start to automatically occur until we upgraded our plan on Nov 4th.  The same goes for my data usage below.  There are multiple days that my phone surged on the same exact time with large spikes of data!  These reports were organized by largest "Unbilled Data Usage" spikes.
    These spikes SHOULD NOT be occurring and have nothing to do with what apps we have installed our phones.  We have both filtered our usage by apps on our phones and they do not add up.  What's the point of having a larger data plan, if that data plan just steals MG randomly off your phone for no reason???  Because of these spikes, I have add to pay over $100 in overage fees and in November, I have already had to buy MORE DATA ($20 for 5 GB more) because I was already at 90% of my usage with 2 weeks still to go in the billing cycle!  I need actions and not suggestions.  I'm not the only one with these problems and this needs to be addressed.
    Please help!!!!!
    (Wife's Data Usage)
    (My Data Usage)

    You're right, data usage can be confusion...especially when your response above doesn't make sense.
    If data usage is counted in 6 hour blocks, then how in the world did Nov. 5th last 138 hours???  Data was calculated 23 times on 11/5/14 and 14 times on on 11/4.  These are just 2 examples of when the data was pulled in in "6 hour blocks of time". Nearly every day in my pulled report this month shows 2 dozen or more times the data was recorded and billed each day. (see below)
    Further more, if data usage actually was counted in 6 hour intervals, that still doesn't explain why my phone randomly surged 1.27 GB of data at 5:36 AM in the morning on 11/12/14.  Even if this counted data since 11:36 PM the night before on 11/11/14 night, there's no way I would have used this much data!  Since I work during the weekdays 9-5, I am already in bed at this time and not using my phone.  And it can't be recorded data usage after 5:36 AM, because then what would be the point of having a time stamp in the report?  Where was this data coming from???  (see below)
    The timing of my spike in data is just way too coincidental of when I upgraded my data to 10 GB earlier this month.  If you compare our data usage against other months (when I had 6 GB) we didn't have random spikes like we are seeing now.  There is something wrong with the new data plan on our phones, and I really wish someone could clearly point out where these additional charges are coming from.  Please have a representative contact me at your earlier convenience.

  • For a few months now my ical keeps jumping back and forth.  It's very hard to use my calendar as it doesn't open on today, it may stay a few seconds and then it goes backwards to random dates and forwards.  It doesn't sit still so I can see what I have on

    My iCal is driving me nuts.
    It won't sit still when I am looking at my calender.  I try holding it still with one finger, two fingers and it just moves.  It jumps to random dates and I have no confidence in it any longer.   I use my calendar all the time and this just isn't good enough.
    I have gone into the apple store and they said they hadn't seen that before.  It did it while I was there.  They restored the phone and it didn't make any difference.
    I have turned the calendar off in settings - mail - icloud - deleted and then turned back on again.  It didn't help.
    I put the Google Calendar app on in the hopes I would have a calendar that wouldn't frustrate me and it is so slow in responding, I have deleted it.
    I see online that many others are having the same problem with their iCal. 
    It would be great to know the solution.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • Date Stamping Photos

    I am newbie to Lightroom but am quickly loving this program.  One of the issues that led me here is date stamping.  Our dSLR does not allow for date stamping (Nikon D40x).  What it does is retains the "capture date" in the metadata ( i beliee most cameras do).  We take approximately 1,000 photos a month and would love to have them date stamped.
    Our processing is done through Kodak, who will not read the capture data from the metadata and stamp on the photo.
    My next option was thir party software - in comes Lightroom 3.  Well reading through the forums I found this was possible via LR Mogrify 2.  It was installed and it works great.  The amount of time I save vs the Gena Photstamper is incredible.  The problem I am having now is that Kodak auto crops the pictures before developing which crops the date stamp (located on the bottome right hand corner).
    I have selected on the Kodak site "print entire picture" which elliminates the cropping but leaves white bars on the ends of the picture.  The reason for this per the Kodak rep is due to photo size.  My next step was to go back into Lightroom and set the export size to 1200 X 1800.  The result was something close but not exactly that dimension.  Which still leaves me with either vertical or horizontal bars on the picture when processed.
    If anyone has encountered anything similar or if you have any possible solutions can you please help.

    May I suggest that you buy a camera that will imprint the date on your
    photo and be done with it. There are many point and shoots with good quality
    that will do this very thing.
    Keep it simple..........

  • I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    ... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
    Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
    Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
    Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
    Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
    Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
    Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
    Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
    at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
    until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
    In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
    If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
    A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.

  • How do I add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names?

    I'm on mac osx.
    I'm trying to add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names. (at the moment it's just 'Picture 1' etc..)
    I've tried the following command  in terminal but have not had success. please help!!
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture name "datestamp" at "timestamp"
    killall SystemUIServer

    Surely someone else will provide a better solution. Meanwhile, however, you might want to try the following script. Copy and paste the script into the AppleScript Editor's window and save it as an application. Then drop your screen capture files on the droplet's Finder icon.
    on open theDroppedFiles
        tell application "Finder"
            repeat with thisFile in theDroppedFiles
                set theFileName to name of thisFile
                if (word 1 of theFileName is "Picture") and ¬
                    (word 2 of theFileName = word -2 of theFileName) then
                    set theExtension to name extension of thisFile
                    set P to offset of theExtension in theFileName
                    set theCreationDate to creation date of thisFile
                    set dateStamp to short date string of theCreationDate

  • Add Date Stamp

    Hi,
      In a proxy to file(receiver file adapter) scenario, is there any way to append date in a specific format(ddmmyyyy) at the end of the file name.
    ex: sample23122009
    Add time stamp adds the date in a different format.
    If if is possible thru Receiver file adapter operating system command.
    Please suggest me how to do that.
    thanks.
    sri

    Hello Arunsri,
    Try to use dynamic file name configuration option in receiver file adapter channel. In mapping just concatenate the date stamp as required with your filename.Take this as constant.
    For this you may modify u r target structure. Add one more node as
    FileName -- Node
    -FileName -- Field
    In content conversion use that
    FileName.fieldFixedLengths - 0(Zero)
    FileName.fixedLengthTooShortHandling -- Cut. So that the extra field would not appear in file.
    Hopt it will helps.
    Cheers

  • Use SQL to roll a schedule forward to a random date

    Hi,
    oracle 10.2.0.4  Linux
    We have two largeish  tables ( 10^5 rows in each) that track our workforces scheduled hours.  The first table creates generic schedules that show working days, each schedule must have 1-n rows in it, one for each day in the cycle.  The majority of our workforce are on a rolling 8 day cycle.  In the example below I have two shifts
    Sched_4d that is a four day cycle of day-on day-off pairs.
    Sched_3d this is a staggered full day, half day, day-off cycle.
    From the information below you can see that in 1990 the sched_4d went from an 8 hour day to a 9 hour day.  There is no guarantee that SCHED_4D will not suddenly gain 2 extra days as part of this years union talks.
    The second table is a simple assigment table showing when a person goes onto a schedule.
    To work out a given day's schedule, you look at the EMP_SHIFT table to work out which schedule is "current", then you look at the date that the person was assigned to the schedule and assume that is SHIFT_ID 1, the next day is SHIFT_ID 2 until you complete the cycle and start again.
    CREATE TABLE SCHED_DATA
      SCHED_ID     VARCHAR2(8 CHAR)             NOT NULL,
      ASOFDATE           DATE                          NOT NULL,
      SHIFT_ID        NUMBER(3)           NOT NULL,
      SCHED_HRS       NUMBER(4,2)                   NOT NULL
    CREATE UNIQUE INDEX SCHED_DATA on SCHED_DATA (SCHED_ID, ASOFDATE, SHIFT_ID)
    CREATE TABLE EMP_SHIFT
    EMPID VARCHAR2(15 CHAR) NOT NULL,
    ASOFDATE DATE NOT NULL,
    SCHED_ID VARCHAR2(8 CHAR) NOT NULL
    CREATE UNIQUE INDEX EMP_SHIFT on EMP_SHIFT ( EMPID, ASOFDATE, SCHED_ID)
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1980',1,8);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1980',2,0);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1980',3,8);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1980',4,0);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1990',1,9);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1990',2,0);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1990',3,9);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_4D', '01-JAN-1990',4,0);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_3D', '01-JAN-1990',1,8);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_3D', '01-JAN-1990',2,4);
    INSERT INTO SCHED_DATA VALUES ('SCHED_3D', '01-JAN-1990',3,0);
    INSERT INTO EMP_SHIFT VALUES ('001', '20-DEC-1989', 'SCHED_4D');
    INSERT INTO EMP_SHIFT VALUES ('001', '01-JAN-1990', 'SCHED_4D');
    INSERT INTO EMP_SHIFT VALUES ('001', '03-JAN-1990', 'SCHED_3D');
    Given the above information, I need to write a select that receives 2 dates ( :FROM and :TO) and for all employees in EMP_SHIFT returns a row for each day and the relevant scheduled hours for that day. 
    Thus the above data  with a from and to of '21-DEC-1989' : '05-JAN-1990' should return
    EMPID, DATE, SCHED_HOURS
    001, 21-DEC, 0
    001, 22-DEC, 8
    001, 23-DEC, 0
    001, 24-DEC, 8
    001, 25-DEC, 0
    001, 26-DEC, 8
    001, 27-DEC, 0
    001, 28-DEC, 8
    001, 29-DEC, 0
    001, 30-DEC, 8
    001, 31-DEC, 0
    001, 01-JAN, 9
    001, 02-JAN, 0
    001, 03-JAN, 8
    001, 04-JAN, 4
    001, 05-JAN, 0
    The employee started thir assignment to sched_4d on 20-DEC, so that would be SHIFT_ID 1.  Thus 21-DEC is SHIFT ID 2 which is 0 hours.  Cycle until the next event which is 01-JAN, when they are assigned to the new sched_4d which has them working 9 hours on day 1.  On 03-JAN they switch to the new cycle and go on the 8:4:0 rotation.
    I can see how I could
    SELECT EMPID, DAY_OF_INTEREST, SCHED_ID
    FROM EMP_SHIFT A, (SELECT '01-JAN-1979' + rownum "DAY_OF_INTEREST" from dual connect by level <=10000)
    WHERE A.ASOFDATE = (SELECT MAX(A1.ASOFDATE) FROM EMP_SHIFT A1 WHERE A1.EMPID = A.EMPID AND A1.ASOFDATE <= DAY_OF_INTEREST)
    AND DAY_OF_INTEREST BETWEEN :FROM_DT AND :TO_DT
    And I imagine I need to use some kind of MOD( (DAY_OF_INTEREST - EMP_SHIFT.ASOFDATE), (#number of days in shift) ) to work out which shift_id applies for a given Day_of_interest
    But I am struggling to do this in a way that would scale to more than one employee,
    Do any of the analytic functions achieve this in a neat way ?

    Hi,
    There are several analytic functions that might help here.  Both tables include starting dates only; we need to know ending dates for employee assignments as well as for schedules.  I used the analytic MIN and LEAD functions to get these in the query below.  Also, the query below needs to know how many days are in each schedule.  I used the analytic COUNT function for that.
    WITH    params   AS
       SELECT  TO_DATE ('21-DEC-1989', 'DD_MON-YYYY')  AS start_date
       ,       TO_DATE ('05-JAN-1990', 'DD_MON-YYYY')  AS end_date
       FROM    dual
    ,       all_dates   AS
        SELECT  start_date + LEVEL - 1    AS a_date
        FROM    params
        CONNECT BY  LEVEL <= (end_date + 1) - start_date
    ,       sched_data_plus AS
        SELECT  sched_id, asofdate, shift_id, sched_hrs
        ,       NVL ( MIN (asofdate) OVER ( PARTITION BY  sched_id
                                            ORDER BY      asofdate
                                            RANGE BETWEEN 1         FOLLOWING
                                                  AND     UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
                                          ) - 1
                    , TO_DATE ('31-DEC-9999', 'DD-MON-YYYY')
                    )          AS uptodate
        ,       COUNT (*) OVER ( PARTITION BY  sched_id
                                 ,             asofdate
                               )  AS days_in_sched
        FROM    sched_data
    ,       emp_shift_plus AS
        SELECT  empid, asofdate, sched_id
        ,       NVL ( LEAD (asofdate) OVER ( PARTITION BY  empid
                                             ORDER BY      asofdate
                                           ) - 1
                    , TO_DATE ('31-DEC-9999', 'DD-MON-YYYY')
                    )    AS uptodate
        FROM    emp_shift
    SELECT    e.empid
    ,         d.a_date
    ,         s.sched_hrs
    FROM      all_dates        d
    JOIN      sched_data_plus  s  ON   d.a_date    BETWEEN s.asofdate
                                                   AND     s.uptodate
    JOIN      emp_shift_plus   e  ON   d.a_date    BETWEEN e.asofdate
                                                   AND     e.uptodate
                                  AND  e.sched_id  = s.sched_id
                                  AND  MOD ( d.a_date - e.asofdate
                                           , s.days_in_sched
                                           ) + 1   = s.shift_id
    ORDER BY  e.empid
    ,         d.a_date
    This query starts by getting all the days of interest, that is, all the days between the given start- and end dates.  (When you said "random date", I assume you meant "given date", which may not involve any random element.)
    Once we have a list of all the dates of interest, getting the results you want is just a matter of inner-joining to get which schedules were in effect on those dates, and which employees were assigned to those schedules on those dates.
    If you're concerned about having more than 1 employee, maybe you should post sample data that involves more than 1 employee.
    How do you handle employee terminations?  For example, what if employee 001 had quit on January 4, 1990?  I assume you'd want the output for that employee to stop on January 4, rather than continue to the end of the period of interest.
    If you have termination dates in an employee table not shown here, then you can use that termination date instead of December 31, 9999 as the default end date for assignments.  If you have a special schedule for terminations (or leaves of absence, for that matter) you'll probably want to include a WHERE clause in the main query not to display dates after the employee left (or while the employee was on leave).

    inside the VALUES parentheses at the same position. Here's an

  • Date Stamping pics to be printed

    I would like to select a number of photos that are going to be printed either with a service or on my printer and add a date stamp to all of the selected photos. All I have been able to do now is edit each picture and add a date on them one at a time.
    Is there an easier way that I am missing? Thanks.

    Ken
    Juergen is correct that IrfanView is a wonderful utility that does many things, including your request. Considering it is free, it is amazing the functions it delivers.
    However, if you want to add a "date" you can fake it with Process Multiple Files under Files in Editor. There is a Custom Text box that you can write in a text string to look like a date format and select the size and color of the output. I'd suggest a test photo first to check what the output looks like.
    If you have not used this function before, it is pretty straight forward. I normally use a different folder for source and destination, just to keep my originals intact. I also set File Type to High Quality JPEG, even if the originals already are HQJ, as I think the default is Medium Size (even if you don't change the File Type). I'd have to retest this assumption.

  • Simple date stamp script

    Hello Adobe Community!
    I have 100+ photos to which I need to add a date stamp. Is there a simple script to do this? I'd like to make it an action too if possible, and it's worth noting that I have no idea how to script! There were some samples linked here but I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit them to get the desired effect.

    You can't use the date from either the profile folder or NTUSER.DAT as a reliable indicator of when a user last logged on, if I understand what you're trying to do.  The profile folder date may not be updated even when the user's profile is active;
    my own profile folder on my current system hasn't been updated for fifty days, even though I've logged off and on repeatedly and rebooted the system at least once.
    On the other hand, NTUSER.DAT, since it contains the user's registry hive, can be updated
    at any time by a malware scanner, malicious website blocker, or registry cleaner, or (I think) by some kinds of software installation or update.
    If you want to delete user profiles according to when the user last logged on, you're probably going to have to scan the security log (assuming you have security auditing enabled).  Maybe a tool like
    Log Parser from Microsoft is what you need.
    If you're running in a domain, you should research ways to get information from Active Directory as well.

  • Certificate of Completion with Date Stamp

    Greetings,
    Is it possible to make a form that will automatcally add a date stamp to it.? Here is the scenario: a user completes a series of questions through an eLearning module. At the end of it, they click on a button/link that takes them to a page that has a PDF in it. The PDF has a fillable form so they enter their name into it and at some point, maybe when they get to the pdp, it is time/date stamped for that user. They print the PDF out and give it to their supervisor.
    Make sense?
    Maybe it's not possible to get the stamp to be added as soon as they get to the PDF, maybe they have to push a button on the PDF to have it added? I don't know what is possible or if it is possible. We would just like to have some way to get a date stamp onto the PDF. The PDF doesn't have to be downloaded, it only needs to be printed as hardcopy, although having an option to have the PDF emailed to the user might be an option as long as it can only be printed.
    Comments, suggestions?

    Yes, it's possible, with a bit of JavaScript. You can have the date field automatically populated when the form is first opened or after they enter their name. For the latter, you could add the following script to the Validate event of the name field:
    // Get a reference to the date field
    var f = getField("date");
    if (event.value) {
        f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    } else {
        f.value = "";
    Replace "date" with the actual name of your date field. You can also use a different date format, but this should get you started. If you want it to populate when the document is opened, it's a bit more complicated, but post again if this is what you want.

  • Adding time/date stamp

    Hello,
    I have several MPEG2 clips I'd like to add a running time/date stamp to.  Can I do this with Premiere Elements?
    Thanks

    Hm-m, not sure what to suggest, if DVDate will not work for you.
    When I need the TimeCode displayed, I use PrPro, or After Effects, as each has a very good TimeCode Effect.
    Maybe others will have some specific input for PrE.
    Sorry that did not work for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
