From fuller.artful at gmail.com Mon Jul 4 14:20:36 2016 From: fuller.artful at gmail.com (Arthur Fuller) Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 15:20:36 -0400 Subject: [dba-Tech] Safety-engineering question Message-ID: Does anybody on this list know something about this rather specialized discipline? It involves visiting factories and assessing their workstations for compliance to a given set of rules, and then producing reports for the given manufacturer stating either A-OK or this and that workstatiion must be modified in this or that way to comply with the regulations. I have written an Access app which does all this, and also deals with the fact that these regulations are dictated by province rather than federally.I;m looking for a potential partner in this project, who is acquainted with this turf. I am open to replies from readers in the USA, the Eu, and elsewhere/ I've done most of the legwork already, and also devised a schema that renders the regional differences a mere matter of providing templates for the region of interest. (In the Canadian case, that means a dozen templates; the user selects the province or territory, and the appropriate templates are loaded.) I'm porting this app to Alpha Anywhere, for several reasons. First, AA will let it run on phones, tablets and web without changes to the code. Second, it won't work on phones -- way too much data to intake -- but it's ideal for tablets Third, since the Alpha team has thought deeply about the input-problems inherent in a tablet-based app, and solved them all, it's a natural fit. What I'm looking for, first of all, is a developer or three that knows this space -- factories, workstations, inspections, and government-mandated criteria. If this is of interest to you, please contact me privately at fuller.artful at gmail.com. Following your contact, we can discuss where you might fit into this project, how you might be able to contribute, and so on. As you might have already surmised, this is not an app for the masses. Rather, it's an app for owners of factories. A relatiively narrow market, I realize, but on the other hand, given the number of factories in the world, I'm willing to give it a go. Factories and regulations differ widely from nation to nation, and that's why I'm seeking your help. It's a narrow niche, I admit that, but on the other hand if you know something about it and have clients in this sphere, maybe something significant can happen. There's nothing I would love more than to see this happen on an international scale, I know that I have written something that could be useful in various manufacturers and safety-inspection engineers worldwide. I would love this to happen. -- Arthur fuller.artful at gmail.com From tinanfields at torchlake.com Thu Jul 21 15:19:14 2016 From: tinanfields at torchlake.com (Tina Norris Fields) Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2016 16:19:14 -0400 Subject: [dba-Tech] Windows 10 drivers NVIDIA geforce monitor Message-ID: Hi All, The other day, I decided to go ahead and get the Windows 10 switcheroo for my Windows 7 laptop - Dell Vostro 3500.

Of course, it's out of warranty - it was purchased in 2010. It may have to remain Win7 pro, just as my old Inspiron 9400 is still WinXP pro. It'll be only the Inspiron 15-R that's currently running Win 8.1 64-bit that can possibly be moved to Win10. It's my current main computer. Do I want to risk it on Win10? Got about a week to decide.

We use 7 at work and I run 10, Vista and XP at home on different systems and I can move from system to system and share things across all of them pretty much without issues. I did learn that supposedly my old XP Laptop could possibly be upgraded to 10. But it's just too old to mess with I think. Pretty sure I got it in 2005 so 11 years old. Still works OK as is and so I'm using it that way. And now as I posted a while back that system is having trouble maintaining it's wifi connection so I think it's loosing it hardware wise too.

I'll check. I downloaded one yesterday and attempted the install, only to get the message that it couldn't proceed because it didn't find a compatible graphics adapter. BTW, I went to the Dell chat for support, and got told they couldn't help me and could only refer me to the "out-of-warranty" help desk. Not a happy camper, I.

My Inspiron 9400 is WinXP (bought in 2006), and it's working. I bought the Vostro 3500 in 2011 with Win7 pro to keep abreast of the new OS and match the ones we have on campus. I bought the Inspiron 15-R in 2013, running Win8 64-bit - upgraded it to 8.1 - and it is my current main computer. All are seeing each other on the network, and I use them for different things. For example, most of the genealogical stuff is on the Win7 pro computer; but all of the Adobe Creative Cloud stuff is on the Win8.1 64-bit machine, along with all the accounting stuff.

You sound like an old lady who only drives her car to church every Sunday. 20MB of RAM...really? I must be a bit more ruthless when it comes to browsers...forty tabs are not unusual. When some of the tabs are continuously active, I have noticed over a few days, memory will slowly dissipate. My current version of FF on Windows 10 is now using over 1.5 GBs, with only 15 tabs open (just checked)....I have seen Chrome eat up almost 2.8 GBs. Today's browsers are not just to read your emails and check the weather. That concept is so pre-2010...in computer years that is 60 to 70 years ago. Everything is moving away from the desktop and internet being two separate entities. I think within a few years desktops and the browser interface will be totally integrated to the point where we wouldn't know where one ends and the other begins.. Data and other information will flow from one to the other. We will be able to collaborate with friends and businesses across our desktops...and we will be able to take our desktops anywhere we want go...all that is needed is a keyboard, mouse and monitor...our desktops will be spawned off our smartphones or downloaded off the internet...we have the potential to be everywhere and running tasks anywhere in the world...messaging, transferring data, photos, video conferencing, collaborating documents, animation of scenes in movies, doing engineer designs, programming and development and so on and so on... Why do you think Microsoft is so aggressively embracing the internet and all things Linux? ...Because that's the future. Aside: I understand that the next Skype is going to be internet based. So when you say why bother, when discussing the new-age browsers, I think it is a matter of either going backwards or going forward.

It is nice and modern in its feel and function. I have found it to be very quick, can have its layout changed, on the fly, it takes less memory than other browsers. It even has a new feature than allows a user to suspend a tab "silent tab"...the tab is still available but all the tab's functions are suspended and all library are detached...this reduces its memory but still allows a tab to be restarted as needed. Recently, if you are a Netflix user, an update allows the app to be easily integrated: http://bit.ly/2arrECe (note: the attached article is dated from last year.)

Windows 10 Installed "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" for the NVIDIA display. I then went to NVidia's site and scanned for drivers and it told me I had the latest and specified the card series and all the fine details. That part took a while because their site's device scanner uses java and Edge won't work with it so I had to install Firefox and Java right away. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From gustav at cactus.dk Fri Jul 29 02:28:33 2016 From: gustav at cactus.dk (Gustav Brock) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2016 07:28:33 +0000 Subject: [dba-Tech] Windows 10 drivers NVIDIA geforce monitor Message-ID: Hi Jim Maybe I work a bit more disciplined.

Data and other information will flow from one to the other. We will be able to collaborate with friends and businesses across our desktops...and we will be able to take our desktops anywhere we want go...all that is needed is a keyboard, mouse and monitor...our desktops will be spawned off our smartphones or downloaded off the internet...we have the potential to be everywhere and running tasks anywhere in the world...messaging, transferring data, photos, video conferencing, collaborating documents, animation of scenes in movies, doing engineer designs, programming and development and so on and so on... Why do you think Microsoft is so aggressively embracing the internet and all things Linux? ...Because that's the future. Aside: I understand that the next Skype is going to be internet based. So when you say why bother, when discussing the new-age browsers, I think it is a matter of either going backwards or going forward.

Just as an example, I was researching floor monitor speakers for my church. I had about 8 or more instances of the browser open, each instance had one specific speaker I was researching. Each time a reviewer would convince me to look at some OTHER speaker, I would open a new browser instance for that one. Each instance then had tabs for Amazon.com for the prices and evaluations, plus reviews by as many magazines as I could get my hands on, often with additional tabs for YouTube Videos. So 6-8 different speakers, each with tabs for prices plus reviews. TONS of tabs in the end. I didn't check memory usage but from experience it gets pretty high. When I would be convinced that a specific speaker was unworthy, I would close down that entire browser instance and all the tabs. Often times I will bookmark the entire set of tabs, labeling it appropriately (with speaker name in this case). So I can go back in and look at all the web sites I have found with just a few clicks.

DavMail is a POP/IMAP/SMTP/Caldav/Carddav/LDAP exchange gateway allowing users to use any mail/calendar client (e.g. Thunderbird with Lightning or Apple iCal) with an Exchange server, even from the internet or behind a firewall through Outlook Web Access. DavMail now includes an LDAP gateway to Exchange global address book and user personal contacts to allow recipient address completion in mail compose window and full calendar support with attendees free/busy display." http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ Jim From fuller.artful at gmail.com Sun Jul 31 14:29:55 2016 From: fuller.artful at gmail.com (Arthur Fuller) Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2016 15:29:55 -0400 Subject: [dba-Tech] My main squeeze never fails me Message-ID: Just after I wrote a paean to my my main squeeze, something happened that terrified me. Apparently Windows 10 tried to automatically update her, but something went sideways and then when I restarted her, she said that was restoring the OS to the previous version. That operation took hours, but it did indeed work, and Win10 did come back to life and all is well with my ancient girl. HP Millenium Edition, updated to Win10 etc..and she's still running like she's ready for Rio. I do love her. Never once in all these years has she failed me. Hats off to HP. $700 very well spent; that was a decade ago, but that was when a dollar was worth a dollar. I realize that the same hardware could be had for a third of that, but that's not the point. She (I call her Guinevere) has been the most loyal and faithful Missus that one could ever request. Even I, Son of Uther Pendragon, Defeater of the Saxons and Lord over All Britain, cannot claim to deserve such a wife as Guinivere. -- Arthur
