i think it's software for people who say "i want software to do this" but don't understand that "this" is so you get a lotta consultants

and confusingly their thing is that they're not "software" but just software you pay monthly for

only good salesforce thing is heroku

im not against cloudy poo poo I guess if its something I can doi easily with a excel I might just do that i was just curious whats things are about I guess

if your company is at a level where everyone just remembers everything and its on sticky notes and if no one remembers that order/sale it just didn't happen then a spreadsheet is a good improvement. it really depends on what you can get people to do and whether or not the people in charge support it.

if you are at a level where you have an acess/filemaker/excel file to track stuff and its become slow and confusing and all the people who know how it works are dead then a crm like salesforce can be a huge productivity boost. like fire half of your sales staff and hire two consultants and make more money than before. also for this to work the people in charge have to be willing to fire people who do not support the changes or you will be worse off than before

what are you trying to do? what does your company do to make money?

this is pretty small time. wife and I bought a business doing resuscitation training and sales of resus equipment. the previous owners never focussed to much on the sales but it seems like it could do with a boost

to be clear, the entirety of the business is probably less than a full time job for one person as it stands. maybe one day it'll be more, its more than it offers flexibility into our life rather than a way to get rich but the money off the trainings is pretty good and at $600 profit per AED sold its not unhelpful to one or two a month. not huge money here but just making life a bit easier etc. espec coz i lost my job and still need a new one

wanted: some form of video streaming package to provide http video content to a corporate intranet. Windows stack, cheaper the better. trying to avoid offsite storage.

Any ideas? The Goog is singularly unhelpful on this question.

you get a better laptop haha lol good pc laptops don't exist

or you download a keyboard layout editor (msklc.exe to make an actual keyboard layout in windows, or sharpkey for just remapping stuff after the fact) and make a keyboard layout where you remap those keys to something useful

whenever i have a keyboard or lovely laptop that has bad buttons I just install autohotkey and remap/disable them

it is pretty overkill but i use autohotkey on the regular anyway for crappy repetitive tasks so it makes sense for my purposes

just put a bunch of "keywords" at the bottom of every page that have nothing to do with your product. for example, if you are selling a nissan pulsar on trademe u put "falcon xr6 commodore hilux" down teh bottom of ur ad to get the pageviews

if you are working in a remote machine you could open a second session, start screen/tmux then use something like https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr to move it over to the screen session.

wouldn't you have to disable ptrace_scope before you run the original program, and why would you do that

pdf files are non-standard pieces of poo poo, layers edition

we use pdfs a lot and up until now we had two work with two seperate sets (bilingual reqs) which is somewhat unwieldy, especially since they're just as likely to be viewed on a screen or printed

i've been playing around with layers in indesign:



a pair of interactive object toggle visibility between languages, and the *noprint layers are prevented from printing via "never prints" so margins are respected

trip report:
this works wonderfully with adobe reader/pro 6+ but my results are all over the loving place with other readers & browsers

ie seems to support everything correctly including the "open as 2 page scrolling view" flag. i'm in a weird place right now, praising ie

:chome: fails to use the interactive objects so it's stuck in english, it respects the "never prints" flags but not the "print when visible" ones (so i end up with both language's content in b/w in an overlay)

safari straight up nopes the gently caress out

firefox & the default osx reader don't understand layers and just mash everything in a beautiful clusterfuck at half transparency


how hosed am i for having brought this up to the attention of my coworkers, ie is there a way to either make the layers compliant to everything + provision a graceful degrade for the rest or should we just scrap this?

starting to think that single-page website "documents" might work better, but those come with a whole other set of fuckery
