YUI DataTable

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

The DataTable control provides a simple yet powerful API to display screen-reader accessible tabular data on a web page.

Im using it right now to populate a list so the user can personalize customization of the dataset at the presentation layer. Im excited because the YUI even supports Data Updates from the Presentation Layer on the user’s front-end.

So I have been experimenting and trying to extend the layer component design of the DataTable control with my own Design Patterns for a more managable web interface

George Michael ***UPDATE***

Monday, July 28th, 2008

We were able to give the Painting to George Michael !!!

We are truly grateful to ALL the people who made that happen. Although we did not manage to meet him we were told by his Tour Manager that he checked with George, who doesn’t normally except gifts at shows, and George Michael said he would ‘accept it personally’.

We do hope that George Michael enjoys the painting or is able to use it for his
Goss-Michael Foundation

George Michael put on such a Great show!! He looks and sounds amazing in person !!
Here is an assortment of Photos Aaron and I took from the concert !

We were 5 rows from the stage!!




The pictures say it all……It was an evening full of dancing, laughing and all over Joy!!

George Michael

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

We are gearing up for the Concert this Saturday (7/26/08) in Philadelphia.

We have been in touch with the Goss-Michael Foundation to try and arrange giving this painting to George Michael for use in their Charity Initiatives or to have him autograph it for us then we will sell the painting and donate the funds to one of our many Paying it Forward efforts.

Either way we are sooo thrilled to be able to see him in concert !!

Here is a picture of the Painting…

Est. Value of Finished 18×24 Painting: $ 450.00 (unsigned)

This was the Study Photo for the Painting.

If there is any interest in paintings we have posted on the site please do not hesitate to email us at Painting@JAaronAnderson.com

We are always happy to give quotes especially on your commissioned requests for Family Portraits, Stars you or you children may like, Family pets, Loved ones who have passed away etc…..

Aaron has many published pieces of Art and can work in any Medium and create almost any work of Art you request….

Batman The Dark Knight starts July 18th 2008

We are sooo excited to see this movie that TODAY I bought tickets for the 12:01am Showing (7/17/08) tomorrow evening (Friday Morning) for Aaron and I to be one of the First ones to see the latest Batman Saga.

It looks amazing, although it may be a bit sad too to see Heath Ledger in his final role….

Will give you our input on the Movie sometime Sunday…..got a busy weekend ahead!!

Setting Panels

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I admit webpages are REAL hard to find online sometimes. You only find what you are looking for if you are lucky enough to know exactly how to describe it with keywords in google to find it…

For instance, if I didnt know the phrase “Adobe Flash Player Settings Panels
a novice user would have a hard time finding the Setting Panels on the Adobe website…

This is one space within Customer Support & Service relations where Adobe needs to improve greatly! If they make something a major component to Flash Player, and impose on users to immediately adopt; they need to make it more publicly accessible for users
to access and administer…

This URL isnt exactly the most friendly:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/

then the other course of action is always to tie up their phone lines::.

Rename Database

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

To rename a MSSQL database, run this code in Web Analyzer::


sp_renamedb >oldname< , >newname<

remember you must first make the database accessible by ONLY  -m “one user”
then you can run this SQL script…

SQL BAK restore

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

If a backup BAK is provided how to you go about restoring in Web Analyzer?

Here’s how

RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK
=’D:\Sites\…\***NAME HERE****.bak’

This revealed within your .bak file :
SQLDBName_Data  D:\Data\MSSQL\data\***NAME HERE****_Data.MDF

SQLDBName_Log   D:\Data\MSSQL\data\***NAME HERE****_Log.LDF

Then created all destination directories as desired to reflect intended instruction set of the next string::

RESTORE DATABASE ****NEW NAME HERE****

FROM DISK = ‘D:\Sites\***NAME HERE****_db.bak’

WITH REPLACE, MOVE ***NAME HERE****_Data’
TO
‘D:\Sites\databases\***NAME HERE****_Data.MDF’,

MOVE ‘***NAME HERE****_Log’
TO
‘D:\Sites\databases\data\***NAME HERE****_Log.LDF’, STATS
