one long text file of heterogenous snippets is not a problem. Don't bother parsing out into various categories and topics. Keep all notes in one single shoebox (=folder). The Grand Indexer, regularly run, and the Info/Data Manager would be the way to go.-nkormanik (February 21, 2014, 03:08 AM)

On the downside, there is no way to shuffle the playlist and all files seem to be displayed in the exact order they are stored in the directories. As such, the element of surprise is completely eliminated if the list is not rich enough

poor Cody (lol)Just got a summary on Wkikpedia -I think you might find that that is not "a summary of Deming" or of anything much, but rather just a description of "the PDCA/PDSA cycle" (aka "the Shewhart cycle").

Take care. The Wikipedia article you linked to seems to rapidly wander off into BS territory with the OPDCA and "Lean [insert word here]", where you'd probably need thigh-length gumboots to wade through all the management consulting BS.
I'd be very surprised if you found any of that at the seminar.-IainB (February 20, 2014, 07:11 AM)
My taste in jazz has two feet: One foot in the canonical (Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Dave Brubeck, Wes Montgomery, Vince Guaraldi), the other in the "suspected to be clinically insane" avant-garde (Sun Ra, John Zorn, Peter Brotzmann, Skerik, Bill Laswell).
The listed musicians are by no means a complete list, just what I could throw off the top of my head that haven't been mentioned before.-Edvard (September 27, 2013, 01:02 AM)
In both Process Explorer an Process Hacker, keep an eye out for the entry called 'Interrupts'.
This value should always be as low as possible, preferably not exceeding 1 to 2% even when doing a lot of reading/writing to disk. Because if it does, it is the first precursor of your drive failing. This is closely related for making Windows 'pause' without apparent reason.-Shades (February 19, 2014, 04:59 AM)
Interrupts and DPCs
On Windows NT-based systems Process Explorer shows two artificial processes: Interrupts and DPCs. These processes reflect the amount of time the system spends servicing hardware interrupts and Deferred Procedure Calls (DPCs), respectively. High CPU consumption by these activities can indicate a hardware problem or device driver bug. To see the total number of interrupts and DPCs executed since the system booted add the Context Switch column. Another sometimes useful metric is the number of interrupts and DPCs generated per refresh interval, which you see when you add the CSwitches Delta column.

... you're [probably] not dealing with people who arecoping well[happy] with the change (they are out there - look at Josh/Allen/Innuendo/Josh's wife/wraith's son/etc./etc.).-tomos (February 17, 2014, 03:48 PM)
Hi, I wonder if you could maybe mod this:^+d:: ; Ctrl+Shift+d outputs current date+time
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyyy-MM-dd HHmm ; It will look like 2010-12-21 0353hrs
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%hrs
return
So that it would rather copy to the clipboard the ISO formatted timestamp as given by attributes/properties (rather than CURRENT timestamp).-metaDCoder (February 16, 2014, 04:37 PM)
(pasted current date/time [/edit][...] since Windows 8 was released I have met precisely 1 customer who says they actually like the new interface - everyone else the first thing they say to me is 'how can I get rid of this'.-Carol Haynes (February 17, 2014, 12:34 PM)
This. The real place that windows 8 was a disaster? Marketing and forcing things on people. The same way that Vista was a disaster. The OS in and of itself isn't that much different from windows 7- it's a few key decisions that they made for people (based on what focus groups, I'll always wonder) and a desire to push into tablets.-wraith808 (February 16, 2014, 11:17 AM)
