What do you use to manage daily\weekly\monthly tasks?

I use Tasks (a clone of Astrid based on the source code) on Android which is synced to Google Tasks. Haven't really ever found anything that's a real replacement to Astrid since Yahoo killed it for no reason.

Hey guys, just wanted to see what you guys use to manage your tasks on a daily\weekly\monthly\quarterly\yearly basis?We are currently using a product called VIP Task Manager Professional and we really love it. Ithttp://www.taskmanagementsoft.com/products/taskmanagerpro/It is pretty inexpensive and customizable. They offer a full-featured 30-day trial version of VIP Task Manager and there is a Standard edition as well.All the tasks have the ability to be assigned to the whole team or an individual member and can have notes, comments and even documentation attached to the task.There is a calendar feature, it has recurring tasks and you can set up different views too - daily - weekly - all tasks.BTW, our Operations team started using it 10 months ago and we have been using it for about 3 months. Operations just passed an audit with flying...

What do you use to manage your clients and push software?

Going around from machine to machine is getting tiring. We have been evaluating different software distribution applications and have yet to find one that has done the job well. What product(s) do you use to manage your clients as far as drivers, applications,
settings, configs, etc? All of our machines are running windows 7 (possibly Windows 8 by the end of next year).
The one's I've tried are: Dell Kace and ManageEngine Desktop Central 8.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
I always use GPO to deploy applications:
With Group Policy Software Installation, a software management feature, you can manage software throughout its life cycle within the organization. Group Policy Software Installation works in conjunction with Group Policy and Active Directory. It is one of
three Group Policy Software Installation and Maintenance components, which are described in the following table.

How can i re-automate/re-enable the daily, weekly, & monthly 'tasks'

some time ago i was having trouble burning a home video with imovie. one of the suggested remedies was to disable the overnight cleaning up tasks, which i did. however, i'd now like to reset this so that these tasks are once again automated whilst i sleep (currently using MacJanitor).
but i cannot for the life of me work out how to do this. please help.

Open the application TextEdit. Under the TextEdit menu open the Preferences. Under the heading New Document Atributes select the Plain text radio button. Under the heading Default Plain Text Encodings select Unicode(UTF-8) in the drop down menu by Save:. Under the heading Saving check the box Overwrite read-only files. Put TextEdit into your Dock.
From the Finder > Go menu select Go to Folder... Type /etc in the dialog box and press return. Locate the file- crontab. Drag the file onto the TextEdit icon in your Dock. The file should open. Your crontab file probably looks like this:
# /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
HOME=/var/log
#minute hour mday month wday who command
#*/5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun
# Run daily/weekly/monthly jobs.
#15 3 * * * root periodic daily
#30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
You need to remove the # on the following three lines.
#15 3 * * * root periodic daily
#30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
Save the file and you should be good to go.

What SAP tool do you use to manage daily and weekly tasks etc

Hi guys
I'm new to basis and am going through setting up my (and others) daily tasks and would like to know if there is an SAP tool that I can use to manage them.
This way all my tasks can be used by other administrators if I'm away, I can report on tasks completed etc for compliance and I can monitor whether contractors etc are doing their jobs properly.
Thanks
Tyrone

1. If your query is related to daily system administration/monitoring tasks, you can make use of the Central System Administration functionality within SAP Solution Manager, which enable you to schedule the Basis related tasks along with the required frequency.
This is a good functionality.
If any of the tasks is not performed/left open, it generates an open action item icon in the initial dashboard of Solution Manager.
With this, you/ your team can also make a note of the tasks they have performed and finally you can generate report from it.
2. Along with the above said functionality, you can also use the Service Level Reporting functionality which gives an overview of the Service Level performance of the systems.
Hope this helps.

Documents managment: what do you use?

I've been trying to find a good document manager to organise the mess I have in articles, lecture notes, books, etc, mostly in pdf format. So I need a tool like Referencer (http://icculus.org/referencer/) or gPapers (http://gpapers.org/) that could help me with that. Lamentably, both of them have a large list of dependencies, like hal and some gnome stuff, I would like to avoid. So I wander if any of you knows about some other, less bloated, tool to do the job.
Maybe one of you have made a nice little script to retrieve BibTeX citations plus a database, or something along those lines.
So, what do you use to organise your bibliography?

itsbrad212 wrote:The only documents I read are pdf's, so I use either mupdf or zathura for that.
EDIT: Wouldn't this fit better in Off-Topic, as this is in the section for requesting help?
I am asking for help. Despite the title, this wasn't meant to be a poll, and for sure not about document readers, but I get where the confusion arises.
So far it seems mendeley is the closest thing to what I'm looking for, it looks fairly complete. But I dislike 2 things, it being closed source and the need to create an account to use the full featured program. I think I will use it though, at least while I find a replacement or make some time to write a script to retrieve the bibtex citations from internet.
I won't mark the thread as solved in case someone else knows about a good way to manage bibliographic material.

How do you use one managed session bean from another?

Hello -
I am a complete newbie to JSF coming from Struts 1. My question is how do you use one managed bean from the method of another one? I think this would be a common senario. For example I put a bean in session scope when a user logs in and in a different method within a different bean I want to get some of this user's information. What is the correct way to retireve one bean from a method in another with session scope?
Also what would the code look like to retieve another bean from the method of a managed bean where the bean you want to retrieve has application scope?
Thank you in advance.

Could you be a bit more specific? If a bean is configured in the faces config file then all of it's properties are managed, correct?Not necessarily.
What would the code look like to retireve the bean?You don't retrieve it, it has been injected.
Can I retrieve the whole bean or just a property of the bean. I would be really interested in seeing how this is done in code? And would really love a bit more information on what it means to be a managed property?Time to consult a JSF tutorial.

What do you use to listen to streams / podcasts / last.fm ?

I'm looking for a way to manage my stream, podcast and last.fm music listening, preferably through a single ncurses or a GTK based interface. I'm still using BMPx which is a buggy, no longer maintained resource hog but has some features that I really like such as:
- uncluttered intuitive interface
- Last.fm tag cloud, similar artists, album art, quickly look up artist info on the web
- easy way for searching and filtering shoutcast and icecast streams

Great guestion mate!
I use smartphone LG Spirit 4G for Netflix and Spotify on the go with Sennheiser CX2.00G earphones. Great sound, really stunning bass and vocals on these. Pleased everytime to hear every detail outside home no matter music or series/movies. 4.7" screen.
At home I will try to use for music Pioneer SMA1 again, as finally I can remote it with new phone without problems. Cheap phone was freezing on app all the time. For series/movies I have Philips 42PFL5008T 42" Smart-TV. I remote Netflix and YouTube app now using my phone - as it never freezes now. Old was unable to remote well, as it was cheap.
On laptop I do everything else. Since laptop is Ubuntu, Netflix will not work and Spotify app is no-needed and hard to install, web player low quality. Laptop is for forums, surfing, blogging etc.

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.

What are you using as a Flash replacement for 64-bit machines?

Hi,
I was reading about the vulnerabilities in Adobe's Flash and decided to remove the offending package. I opened Chromium to make sure my Flash still worked, as I understood that Chromium implemented another method for rendering Flash stuff. I was wrong. For example, YouTube tells me that I need Flash 10 or higher. I tried to re-install the flashplugin package, but it is no longer in the repos.
I can live without Flash content, but it's nice to have.
So the question is, what are you using instead, that can be installed from the main repos?
Many thanks,
Chris.

I have installed both lightspark 0.4.3 and gnash 0.8.8, since lightspark should be able to 'fall back to gnash for older videos' (see changelog of lightspark).
I have tried some flash-websites in firefox and all of them seem to use gnash and there was 1 website that didn't load the content (www.deredactie.be - our national tvstation). So, I'm under the impression that lightspark is not used by firefox.
Has anyone found out how to do this?
Secondly, gnash should be able to use VA-API (hardware acceleration). Is it just a question to install libva and let gnash do the rest, or does one have to recompile gnash to build the support in?
Zl.
PS: to whoever thinks flashplugin is the 'real flash': gnash has beaten it in terms of providing hardware acceleration. hooray for opensource!

What do you use to write Java programs?

Hi. Do you mind if I ask you what do you use to write your programs in Java? I am a student and we are using NetBeans IDE 3.6. I know it is a bit old but the tutor says we must stick to that one. What is best for writing Java programs?
Thanks.

Do you think those things will make things easier or is it more complex?If you're learning on your own, you'd better use something more up to date (most probably better interface, childhood bugs fixed, and better support on the Internet).
If you're in a classroom, or a training room, you'd better use what the instructor tells, or at least what other students/trainees use. Easier to get help and share tips if everyone has the same setup.
Good luck learning Java.

What do you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6

What can you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6. You cannot import it anymore to make pictures. I do not want to print one at a time.

I think the Bridge Output Module comes as standard with CS6, but I might be wrong. Even if you have CC, you can download the Output Module.
Install Adobe Output Module

Usually just a cloth is good. If you want to keep fingerprints off you could buy an anti fingerprint screen protector or use the apple smart cover, which cleans the screen whenever you use it.

There are some browsers in the app store that accommodate flash. Compatibility and effectiveness vary. Your best bet is to read the reviews and fnd something that works for you.

What do you use to create distributable packages with ARD?

What do you use to create distribution packages for ARD?
I.E. a package for installing the new Oracle Java 7.21 on all our machines.
Or, a package for installing Micosoft Office 14.3.2 udapters?
Specifically for 10.7 and 10.8 users.
Install Ease?
Jamf Composer?
Packages?
xCode PackageMaker?
Which one should I put my time into using?
Thanks.

Nicolas, Have you been able to get the Adobe Update to work? I get stopped at the first step, putting in the command-line to install the AUS2.0. I think we have a support Contract, i should probably just ask Adobe for assistance.
Does noboby create their own distributable packages? Maybe i'm looking at this wrong.
I see that even Microsoft puts their updates into a .pkg file that is pushable through ARD. Maybe most everyone else does?
I was able to get an Adobe Flash Player Distributable installer, from Adobe, you have to fill out a form asking for permission for the distributable installer, and they send you a link to the files.. ugh. but fine. I have the .pkg installer for Flash, and that works pushing out over ARD.
http://www.adobe.com/products/players/flash-player-distribution.html
I guess my life would be great, if i can just get a Updater source for CS5.5 and CS6.
I did create the Adobe Package distribution for actually installing the CS6 over ARD. That works.
I have a licensing glitch on deploying new machine off a build that has CS6 on it. I'm able to get around the licensing glitch by using the Adobe Serialization tool, that's fine.
I guess i'm just looking for a CS6 Updates tool. I'm fine creating a CS6 updater package using InstallEase or something. I'm wondering what the best one is.
IF most everything already comes as a .pkg file nowadays, and it's just Adobe that's difficult. I guess there's not really a need to create .pkg files for anyone? So nobody really uses them?

What do you use to read .stn files on mavericks? Genuine fractals doesn't work any longer?

What do you use to read .stn files on mavericks? Genuine fractals doesn't work any longer? I get an error message that adobe photo shop 5 cant open it because the modules? arent right. I assume that it is because I now have an intel machine. I know other people have used this file format and so how do you open your photo files?

When I try to open in Adobe Reader is says, "Adobe Reader could not open 'Blank-AF 77-LOE.xfdl' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." Now what. I didn't email it. I transferred from an external hard drive. The file opens just fine on a Windows PC.
