I watched Doctor Strange yesterday. I read that comic book every month back in the day when it cost $.12. Lots of action. Not bad at all.I'll see-MilesAhead (July 13, 2017, 03:05 PM)
I enjoyed Contact very much. So I will try this one !!!!!Arrival (Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi). Loved it!

For whatever reason some people don't seem to understand the movie, but it still made it (currently as #209) into IMDb's Top Rated Movies. Will watch it again some day for sure!-brotherS (February 12, 2017, 09:12 AM)
I watched this last week. It didn't go in the direction I thought it would go from watching the trailer. I was expecting a bit more action or, at the least, something along the lines of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008). But it was more slow, thoughtful, and philosophical. It reminded me a lot of Contact (1997). When it was over, I wasn't sure what to think about it. Ultimately, I decided that I thought it was a decent movie. I'd recommend it to people who liked Contact.-Deozaan (March 02, 2017, 11:39 PM)
Since there are lots of foreign subtitle movies recommended in this thread, it seems only appropriate to cross-post a warning that a recent vulnerability was discovered where hackers can infect machines using malicious subtitle files downloaded from the internet. More info here: https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=43881Ejem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All i see with english subtitles !!!!!
Be careful about downloading subtitle files and keep your video players up to date!-mouser (May 27, 2017, 12:09 AM)

That looks interesting! But do you have a link to it? Doing a search didn't really turn anything up. Seems like it may be abandonware from everything that did come up, but wanted to check.-wraith808 (July 16, 2017, 02:42 PM)
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)

Frank Degenaar discusses it in his book how to use the Eisenhower matrix in WorkFlowy:
#8 WorkFlowy - Prioritize Your Brain | Time Management-dr_andus (July 16, 2017, 07:01 AM)
@Contro:this seems and important and deeply discussion but I don't have a clear answer.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.
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 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).-IainB (July 16, 2017, 07:29 AM)
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)
