General Software Discussion / Re: The blind touch looking for something : Human

it is a pseudo-religious pseudo-science, based on >>Astrology, I-Ching, Kabbalah, Chakra fusing with neutrino physics and genetic coding, on who we are as individuals<<.

if it really was "free", ask yourself, why do they have a page named Refund Policy?

Curt. Errare humanum est.
That's human !
The software is free but the web contains many not free software and services.
At the time we are searching for answers this one give "the real answer" with your name, birth and place.
Of course I have a lot of criticism about business with this sort of things.
Now I can have an answer from the other side of the world and that is wonderful for me.

have you seen The great wall ?
Pure fantasy with girls at the drums with nunchakus !!!!! Beautiful
 

This software have symbols and equivalent measures to the blue girls crane attacks !!!!!!!

I need this sort of things to free my mind !!!!!!!!!

This link should show you a really big overview from all different kinds of applications that you can host yourself...as in on your own computer (if you have a web-server installed there), on a computer in your home network (if you have a web-server installed there) or on your own website/domain.

For the first two options, you could use software like: XAMPP  (free, comes with the Apache web-server, PHP and MySQL database) There are many alternatives for XAMPP, take a look in this forum, as many have suggested alternatives or look for those on website: AlternativeTo.

With XAMPP or any of its alternatives, the following must apply: make sure that all the ports they require are available to them. Normally this should not be a problem, but if you happen to use Skype on the computer you plan to use as your internal web-server, port 80 is often claimed. Port 80 is the port web-servers require and it is best that you kill all running Skype processes completely and after the web-server has started successfully, simply restart Skype. Now your web-server and Skype work peacefully next to one other.

Some general information you should take into account when going through this list:
All these applications come with manuals on how to install them. Do not expect the DC crowd to know about any of these applications or how you should install them. Sure, the DC crowd can make very educated guesses, but you should go through their manuals first and ask on their forums about any problem you might encounter.

Also, it is possible that you find your ideal application can only be used on a Linux-based web-server. You seem to know how VMs work, so create one, preferably using a Linux server distribution, like Ubuntu Server, Debian, CentOS or OpenSuse. Whichever you prefer. Personally, I like Ubuntu Server 16 LTS, but the others are great as well. If you can, do not install any GUI system. This way you don't need to allocate much of your RAM to it.

Once you have created such a VM, start it and access it by using the SmarTTY software in your Windows installation (I use the portable version myself). Think of this software as a supercharged Putty in functionality. Any instruction in the (online) manual(s) you see in Windows can be easily copy-pasted into the SmarTTY session you have opened to your Linux VM. And that makes it much easier to manage a Linux server. To top it off, install in this VM the WebMin software. That will give you the option to fully manage this Linux server through your browser, so you really have no need for a GUI.

By keeping your VM this lean, you can get away with allocating only 4 to 8 GByte of storage space, between 512MByte to 1 GByte of RAM and only the bare minimum of video memory. You will hardly notice that this VM is running on your host computer.

With all of the above, you should be able to start on the journey of finding the self-hosted application(s) that suit your workflow best.

-Shades (July 16, 2017, 01:14 PM)

Some years a local friend put me in contact with XAMPP environment. And Apache. He was managing a forum with a free url until it was not free anymore. The same when i have problems with .tk free urls.
For a person with enough knowledge XAMPP, Apache and some free databases have infinite oportunities.
The software is free and open but the knowledge wasn't.

Are free now and free forever.

But the real freedom is knowledge.

This sort of programmes are disgusting for me.
I usually record all during my work.
I use audacity.  And that is enough.
If you "really" need clean the audio see the movie "The conversation" (1974) with Gene Hackman.
If you try Adobe audition or anyone similar usually you will abandon. There is a lot of "Knowledge curve".

Retouching images exists some automated measures but in audio is not so easy. The same for video (there is a program from Sony)

I usually prefer hear with attention two or three times the audio....


That's my reality

@Contro:

this seems and important and deeply discussion but I don't have a clear answer.
By example I tried InfoBase but I don't see the decision matrix anywhere .

At the present moment I have located four excel options and a simple pdf option.
___________________________

-Contro (July 16, 2017, 04:29 AM)

I didn't mean for it to be "important" or "deep". I was probably labouring the point that one can waste an inordinate amount of time mucking about with ABC priority lists, when in actual fact they need to be simplified/rationalised if they are to be of any real, practical use.

I forgot to mention Excel as another potential tool for ABC prioritisation. I did mention CHS though, which is similarly useful. "Any free-form database".

By the way, I don't think one actually needs to "see the decision matrix anywhere". At any rate, I've never seen it in a software tool. What the tools do is enable you to view the As, Bs, Cs listed separately, and logically switch the tasks between those views (the priority categories A, B, and C are each mutually exclusive of the other two - i.e., a task can only logically be in one category at any given time). It doesn't even require a decision-tree, as the user makes the decision (by changing the priority flag to A or B or C).
ABC prioritisation is a very simple method. That's why you can readily apply it in (say) Excel spreadsheets or CHS grids (using virtual folders).

When I use the CRM I obtain commands jumping to be resolved. I am not using the projects manager with goldmine. I began to use something "similar" with ToDoList a few weeks ago and is pretty enough for me. If I am in a "state of confusion" I prefer Portable Kanban. In special cases I prefer the decision matrix.

But i am not the happy perfect man because I continue having doubts everyday.

I haven't had time to read thru this fascinating thread, so please forgive my question if it has already been asked:

How many staff do you have, Contro?

Oh, and this isn't some sport of mine: It's common understanding now that this some president's method is inapplicable (/ over-illusionary) as a personal-organization policy ("time management" or whatever you call it) when most of the ToDo's execution needs bounce back upon you. But as said, probably I'm just replicating here what will alread have said above by others, then just do the Ath for once here.

-ital2 (July 16, 2017, 07:46 AM)

Do you refer a number of people in a team ?

I don't use these programs for several people. Only one is the answer.

The most complicated cases may be with the biggest project divided into smaller projects. And it's easy.

General Software Discussion / Re: Organize files using virtual folders

« Last post by Contro on July 16, 2017, 06:16 AM »

I think there are two mainly methods.

One method is obviously the tags. We will need a tag manager. And add tags to the desired files.
A second point of view is possible filtering the files by tag. Or by a set of tags.

But I believe more in simple known folders. (the tags may be more nearer to the intuitive concept of virtual folders...)

Suppose is an inventory of my house. Made with photos. I classify the photos by room. Then by concepts. By example the ladders and staircases in my home. Or the movie dvd in the different rooms.

By ease the first classification by room I can easily organize with a folder for each room.

Then I create more folders according to any criteria. The folder for ladders will include a shortlink to the file with ladders or staircase.

I can use some of the scripts DC made for the ocassion some time ago (possibility to automate the creation of shortlinks for the selected files in the desktop, in a set of folder, in an open folder, etc....)

For me this is more intuitive.

For complex needs may be more powerful by tags. And by tag force the reorganization in a set of folders. But in any case using finally virtual folders or "virtual files" for not use duplicated files anywhere...

I am not thinking in this method as the usual one or more general, only for aspects or setting certain problems to be solved in a week

When we have 500 tasks along the years may be better ToDoList or my CRM Goldmine.
This is an alternative to make clear my mind under certain tasks.

I hope so...
