I think that hits the meat of the situation. I could maybe see a NoSQL or even non-RDBMS, system for something like the entire school system of Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York, et. al., but no way can I see it worth the effort and grief for a single school.-barney (June 19, 2012, 02:51 PM)
ever expanding collections of non-structured "stuff" (images, loose document collections, tweets, messages, etc.)So in fact Lotus Notes (now owned by IBM) was in fact (one of) the first NoSQL storage systems, way back then-40hz (June 19, 2012, 12:37 PM)-Ath (June 19, 2012, 01:30 PM)
If you actually tried to create a link from any file outside the public folder, you will find that yes you can create a link to the file, but it will load the dropbox webpage including a download button to the actual file.-justice (June 18, 2012, 12:04 PM)
I've done some research into non-RDBMS databases for a client. (I prefer non-RDBMS to NoSQL since there are at least 3 very different technologies calling themselves NoSQL right now.) I can save your school administrator some work. What I found: not ready for enterprise primetime except in very specific and specialized circumstances. For day to day general database requirements (i.e. any data that can easily be structured as a table - which is to say most data), RDBMS is still the best current choice.-40hz (June 19, 2012, 12:37 PM)
Which is why you should use the different parts in your house for their intended purpose only.-Shades (June 17, 2012, 02:58 PM)
I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing for any side. It may even be good for Microsoft if it convinces people to upgrade to IE9 rather than using an old, insecure version of their browser.-Deozaan (June 16, 2012, 06:57 PM)
Dear Wakoopians,
We are sending you this email to share with you some sad news. Six years after our plan to build the ‘lastFM for software’, to make discovering software social, we are closing down Wakoopa Social. Wakoopa will continue to make cool products only this time focussed on the corporate research market.
Read all about why we made this difficult decision and what we are going to do to give you some of your data back.
We want to thank you all for the time and effort you have put into our product. Together we truly made discovering software social.
Best regards,
Wouter Broekhof, Founder & CTO
What I seek is more a hint file than library - prolly shouldn't have used that term.
I've long maintained a list of code snippets - not libraries or plug-ins - that I can cut and paste into what I might be doing at the moment. Or, perhaps, I need a reminder of the syntax for a particular command, complete with all the possible qualifiers. Basic laziness, for the most part, but once in a while exact syntax matters.
For instance, there is a script that is useful for debugging JavaScript errors. With gbCodeLib, I just find that particular error handler, copy the script, paste it as needed. It's generic, so no need to edit.
Other JS might need to have certain values edited, but it's easier to edit appropriate values than to try to remember the exact syntax. For instance, there is a JS script for handling a calendar by month. It's 109 lines. I won't remember 109 lines.
Right now, for portability, this is all in a text file, but traversing that file is inefficient and time-consuming at best. Putting it into CintaNotes is only marginally better. So I'm looking for a tool, preferably portable, that is designed for the purpose of storing, cataloging, tagging, and searching these code snippets.
(I did look at CherryTree, but my eyes don't deal well with text on a black background. It's a viable alternative, but difficult [for me] to use, so I'm hoping for something better.)-barney (June 14, 2012, 07:14 PM)
I use OpenDNS. Set your router to use it instead of your ISP's DNS, password protect the router setup, and you are good to go. You can create a free account and choose what categories to filter, and even do a bit of customizing the block page. You could also just set her computer to use OpenDNS, however it is much easier and more secure at the router level.
If you need help, let me know and I can walk you through it. In the screenshot below, that is me, and my technologically savvy daughter on the OpenDNS block page.

Sorry to hear the wife has had a hard time. Glad she's home.-kunkel321 (June 13, 2012, 09:02 AM)
To my knowledge, this is the second time something like this has happened at LinkedIn. The last time was on 2010-12-14, when LinkedIn emailed members telling them to change their passwords.-IainB (June 06, 2012, 05:02 PM)
IIRC, the first time was due to a gawker.com breach, and they were advising that as a precaution in case the same password was used on their site.-daddydave (June 07, 2012, 08:48 AM)
Wraith - surely you have read some of the 20 page threads in their forum arguing violently over whether certain crew members' middle initials should be included in the DVD profiles. Really obsessive folks there! I had clicked Yes to submit some of my episode profiles when I created them and the program prompted me to upload them to their database. You should have seen the nasty comments/PMs I received because I included info beyond what was on the DVD case! Of course I never submitted anything again!-J-Mac (June 07, 2012, 06:52 AM)
