The point is these people started out without a keyboard and it worked for
them.  Put one in front of them and they struggle a bit.  Today's young
professional doesn't really need a keyboard, they have been texting for at
least 10 years.

Exactly. If we really wanted to be using large-scale speech recognition
we would be using it already. Until we can wire our heads directly into
the network the above situation is largely not going to change. We're
seeing a shift in the home and some areas of business at the moment away
from keyboards and mice towards touch interfaces but once again - touch
has been around for years, if it was such a game-changer for business
we'd all be wiping our screens clean daily with our bizarrely
overmuscled right arms.

I think the mistake that is being made in this discussion is the assumption
that it is (tablets and touch screens)  OR (keyboards and mice) implying
that they are mutually exclusive.  I believe in horses for courses, select
the best technology available for the specific task.  My son has a nexus
tablet which he thinks is great but has a cover for it which is also a
keyboard.  Add a touch pad to the keyboard and you have a mouse substitute.
I can see a future (in the near future) when we will see conventional
desktop PCs doing the grunt work of creating content and tablets for
consuming the content with hybrid machines where the detachable screen is a
tablet for the in-between work.

Bingo.  The conversation was started to try to find an opportunity to fill
a void in Apps for a touch screen.

Instead everyone just pissed on the ground marking their turf saying that
IT CAN NEVER HAPPEN.

Also this week same group said that old programmers are better than new
ones because they know more over time.  Too bad they don't stop to think
more as well.

They did NOT say that old programmers are better than new ones.

They said that they had more wisdom.

You need to step back and look at the big picture.

All of the HR departments are adopting the same set of rules.

The bigger ones will lead.
The smaller ones will eventually fall in line.

One of these days you will quit focusing on the object and realize that if
you do not know what all of the pieces are doing, you are going to be on the
receiving end of the fallout

Simply because the very same rules that apply to software, apply to life as
well

Well, I think Microsoft's days are numbered. Windows 8 is a large pile of
poo. It is lagging behind Android on the phone. Though I will say that if
Samsung and others do not get their support in order people will work out
they (phone manufacturers ) are rubbish. What this could also mean is once
people realise Android is Linux, then maybe Linux will take off. All we need
is decent visual studio like programs for Linux and it could be a going
concern. Bye bye Microsoft.

Worse than that.

You become too old to work in software (other than self employed) when
Microsoft says you are too old

 Well, I think Microsoft's days are numbered. Windows 8 is a large pile of
poo.
 It is lagging behind Android on the phone. Though I will say that if
Samsung
 and others do not get their support in order people will work out they
 (phone manufacturers ) are rubbish. What this could also mean is once
 people realise Android is Linux, then maybe Linux will take off. All we
need is
 decent visual studio like programs for Linux and it could be a going

 Bye bye Microsoft.

 And in counter-point, Older Is Wiser: Study Shows Software Developers'
 Skills Improve Over Time

 http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/wms-murphyhill-age-2013/

 There is a perception in some tech circles that older programmers 
 aren't
 able to keep pace with rapidly changing technology, and that they are 
 discriminated against in the software field. But a new study from 
 North Carolina State University indicates that the knowledge and 
 skills of programmers actually improve over time - and that older 
 programmers know as much (or more) than their younger peers when it 
 comes to recent software platforms.

camps underneath the bridges and then up past the airport and into sprawling
office parks in North San Jose packed with Mercedes and BMW's.

The juxtaposition is staggering.

Not sure I buy that.
Unemployment in America is 23%.
In spain it  is what? 25% or greater.

It would seem to me that these people are bothering now and a lot of them
are at the bottom

For instance, I have a project I've been trying to get funded that uses the
following:
Zoning for solar power to keep costs low
Water storage for water
Fish farming and square foot gardening for food

All of this under one roof with technology to manage it all

If something like that were made possible, even though it would not take
care of the mad money portion, it would take care of the food and shelter
and utilities which many of us are going to need if we keep on this path
where we send our high paying jobs to other countries that bid the lowest

It's not just about dictating text and having the computer type it. 
That's going to be reasonably fast, once one has the computer 
trained to recognize one's voice.


However, there are many things one can do on a computer via mouse 
and/or keyboard in much less time than it would take you to tell the 
computer how to do it using your voice. Various CAD and desktop 
publishing applications come to mind.


 User interfaces are very important.  Personally, I find 
touchpads to be very awkward.  Many of my mouse actions are 
point-and-click.  With a mouse, it  is simple.  With a touchpad, I 
have to move my finger around and then move it around to click the 
button.  (Due to my dry hands, clicking on the pad is not
reliable.  I have actually caused clicks on my touchpad when I was 
not touching the touchpad but had my finger just above.)

churches and buildings basements etc) to the homeless... get there
early and you have a warm place to sleep... drift in later on, you
have a warm place to sit.

This one guy comes in 3 hours after the shelter was up and running (no
room at the inn), and went off on the staff demanding this, demanding
that, basically wanting to be outfitted with everything needed to live
on the streets... this other dude, a young guy that said he was
homeless by choice, starts telling him where he can get a free place
to sleep, a free hot shower, a free meal, free clothes, free laudnry
services, free haircut. guy blows it off saying he doesn't have
time for all that sh!t

I've been studying the percentages in America and comparing them against
china and india.

We have about 47% that are 1040 based
We have about 13% that are self employed
We have about 13% that are retired
The remaining 23% are children and something else that escapes my mind at
the moment.

After studying the Chinese papers for some time I find that their
percentages match as well.

And if you really study it, the education percentages are basically a match
across all three countries.

Sadly there will always be x percent that will never get it.

In this man's defense though, he might be scared  and trying to
bluster his way through something that he has never experienced in his life.

But he might be a idiot as well.

Good point.

I camped out one time for about 90 days on 30 acres in between contracts.

Loved it

But I also wonder about the girl in the video that looks like a druggie now.
If she is, could that come from the destitution of having no way out when
your job was sent offshore?

For nearly ten years now I've been unable to find steady work.
Used to think it was only me, but I've heard from many because of my work at
KAAW that are experiencing the same.

Many have impeccable credentials where as I chose to go into the military
and turned my nose up at the certifications.

Bottom line, ten years camping out like the Nearings can be wonderful if
that is what you want to do.
But ten years of your life gone and no way to get back to work when this
lifestyle is forced on you can really mess up your head.

For me, KAAW has been my therapy

you have to enable/unlock first.

A couple years ago - I read this book that was suggested by this Shrink
woman I know - she raved about the book - how wonderful it was. It was quite
eye opening. It was written by this woman - and growing up for the most part
homeless - and that's the way her parents liked it. In the end - even though
she ended up making it - and having an appt.  paying job - and she invited
her parents to live with her - she was in NYC by then - the parents pretty
much refused!

Very, VERY Intense read! I think the book was title Glass House or Glass
Castle - something like that...

SELECT (SQL) Date Range Problem

2013-05-01 Thread Charles Hart Enzer, M.D., FAACP

I want to:

   SELECT ;
dates, ;
   COUNT (amount) as CNT ;
FROM data ;
WHERE dates = BETWEEN(dates, dates, dates + 20) = .T. ;
   GROUP BY 1 ;
ORDER BY 1

I also tried instead of the WHERE clause:

 HAVING BETWEEN(dates,dates,dates + 20 ) = .T.

Each dates has a number of amount records.

I want to make a count of the number of records for every 21 day range.

Thank you.

Re: ProFox List Statistics for April 2013

2013-05-01 Thread Ken Kixmoeller (ProFox)
Hmm, let's see:

 742 - (60 + 287) = ??  --- Oh, that is way too hard. g

I also question the premise. Sure, the list was started as a Foxpro
resource. But now? Of the people still hanging on, I suspect it is more for
the virtual friendships we have made. I'm surprised how many actual VFP
issues there actually are. How many of us still rely on the Fox as our
primary development tool? How many of us spend the majority of our day
working in it? Of those, is there anyone actually building new programs
with it? Most must be adding features to legacy apps or trying to un-break
stuff that M$ breaks.

I sure don't touch it much. I have several VFP apps I wrote in back in the
early 90s that are still in use. Every once in a while, one of those folks
asks me a question, most likely something like I can't remember how to
configure a workstation. I have my own billing/scheduling system I wrote
20+ years ago. I have one client (for which I do a project once per year)
which I wrote in VFP. Other than that, I just don't touch it. You?

Subject: Re: ProFox List Statistics for April 2013

Hmm, let's see:

 742 - (60 + 287) = ??  --- Oh, that is way too hard. g

I also question the premise. Sure, the list was started as a Foxpro
resource. But now? Of the people still hanging on, I suspect it is more for
the virtual friendships we have made. I'm surprised how many actual VFP
issues there actually are. How many of us still rely on the Fox as our
primary development tool? How many of us spend the majority of our day
working in it? Of those, is there anyone actually building new programs
with it? Most must be adding features to legacy apps or trying to un-break
stuff that M$ breaks.

I sure don't touch it much. I have several VFP apps I wrote in back in the
early 90s that are still in use. Every once in a while, one of those folks
asks me a question, most likely something like I can't remember how to
configure a workstation. I have my own billing/scheduling system I wrote
20+ years ago. I have one client (for which I do a project once per year)
which I wrote in VFP. Other than that, I just don't touch it. You?

All mine.
All 20,000 plus hours.

The original intent was to get my name in front of people so I could get
back to work.
What has happened is I have heard from many of the people that are going
through what I am and working together, we put together the BIG PICTURE and
documented it at http://keepamericaatwork.com/significant-milestones

Think of these as the Touch Points between systems.

It has now led to :
http://www.MomAndPopAds.com (in progress)
http://www.BuriedWhere.com (would like to develop in VFP with Google Maps
API and a sql server back end just to make a point)
http://www.FAUFF.com (Food and Utilities For Free) found the property, just
about have the deal worked out, but need a little bit better job (one that
pays) to finalize the deal

For what it is worth, work does not have to be paid to be meaningful, but it
sure would be nice grin

For one thing, I liked XP and 7. 8 would be ok if they had left the start
menu as an alternative and left out those cruddy apps. Mail is the worse
mail prog I have seen.
IOS is awful too. That's why I mentioned Android and not apples do what we
say OS. The point was that Android could do a lot of good for Linux on the
desktop. And no I won't touch apple. I already wasted my money on an ipants.
Well good for you if that's what you want. I like VS and I would say so do
many other people. If something came up on Linux making programming easier
(for me) I would certainly think on it.

Believe it or not, the 16-bit utilities DO work in Windows 7, so long as you

32-bit version!

My mechanic runs a 20-year-old FP-DOS app I built for him.  I told him I 
couldn't
test it any more because it wouldn't run under Windows 7.  He went digging in 
Google,
found out how to do it, bought a copy of Win7-32, installed it, and Voila!  I 
was
dumfounded.

That is also true for Win 8, although there is something in the setup you have 
to
enable/unlock first.


I think I'd run the app in a virtual machine running DOS or whatever OS the 
original
application targeted.

We tried that, Paul, but we couldn't get the printing to work.  It used 
the HPL laserjet command set thru a serial port, and the XP Mode did 
nothing.  He found out how to disable the printer driver for the Serial 
port (in Win7-32) and then everything worked!

Re: SELECT (SQL) Date Range Problem

2013-05-01 Thread MB Software Solutions, LLC
The BETWEEN a AND b syntax should work fine in VFP as it's standard SQL, 
and yet leave it agnostic in case you need to use it against a different 
backend later.


As for the OP's code below:
 I get the [unrecognized command] error with this:

SELECT Gluctmp1.date, COUNT(Gluctmp1.amount);
  FROM Gluctmp1;
  WHERE ;
 Gluctmp1.category = Glucos;
 Gluctmp1.date BETWEEN Gluctmp1.date AND (Gluctmp1.date +
 20) ;
  GROUP BY Gluctmp1.date

...looks like he's just missing the AND word between his 2 where 
conditions.  It should be:

  WHERE ;
 Gluctmp1.category = Glucos;
 AND Gluctmp1.date BETWEEN Gluctmp1.date AND 
(Gluctmp1.date + 20) ;

Re: SELECT (SQL) Date Range Problem

2013-05-01 Thread Frank Cazabon

I don't think you can do what you are asking for unless you use a subquery.

Something along the lines of this might get you going:

   SELECT Gluctmp1.date, SELECT COUNT(Gluctmp1.amount) FROM GlucTmp1 
GlucTmp2 WHERE GlucTmp2.Date BETWEEN GlucTmp1.Date AND GlucTmp1.Date + 20);

 FROM Gluctmp1;
 WHERE ;
Gluctmp1.category = Glucos;
 GROUP BY Gluctmp1.date

Re: SELECT (SQL) Date Range Problem

Dear Frank:

Thank you.

The SELECT also gives the [Unrocognized Command] error:

   *SELECT Gluctmp1.date, SELECT COUNT(Gluctmp1.amount) FROM GlucTmp1
   GlucTmp2 WHERE GlucTmp2.Date BETWEEN GlucTmp1.Date AND GlucTmp1.Date
   + 20); **
   ** FROM Gluctmp1; **
   ** WHERE ; **
   **Gluctmp1.category = Glucos; **
   ** GROUP BY Gluctmp1.date
   *

So I changed it to:

   *SELECT ;
Gluctmp1.date AS Rollingdate, ;
COUNT(Gluctmp1.amount) AS Totals ;
   FROM Gluctmp1;
   WHERE ;
Gluctmp1.category = Glucos;
AND Gluctmp1.amount in ;
(SELECT ;
COUNT(Gluctmp1.amount) ;
FROM GlucTmp1 ;
WHERE GlucTmp1.Date BETWEEN GlucTmp1.Date ;

  GROUP BY Gluctmp1.date

   *

And got an empty Cursor.

Re: SELECT (SQL) Date Range Problem

2013-05-01 Thread Dan Covill

Charles,

Unless I'm missing something, you're asking for a Date 'between' itself 
and itself + 20. ???  The 'Between' value should be a constant.  Also, 
why are you 'counting' the Amount?


   StartDate = whatever
   EndDate = StartDate + 20
   SELECT Date, COUNT(*) from Gluctmp1 ;
  WHERE Category = 'Glucos' ;
 AND BETWEEN (Date, StartDate, EndDate) ;
  GROUP BY Date ORDER BY Date

No, it gets too old when people who drink the Microsoft koolaid, and who do 
things that we depend on, say it is. For example, I would still be running 
Windows 2000 today if I could get network-managed anti-virus software, and 
a version of Firefox that complies with modern AJAX-type requirements, to 
run on it.

Dear Frank:

Thank you.

The SELECT also gives the [Unrocognized Command] error:

*SELECT Gluctmp1.date, SELECT COUNT(Gluctmp1.amount) FROM GlucTmp1
   GlucTmp2 WHERE GlucTmp2.Date BETWEEN GlucTmp1.Date AND GlucTmp1.Date

So I changed it to:

 COUNT(Gluctmp1.amount) AS Totals ;
FROM Gluctmp1;
WHERE ;
 Gluctmp1.category = Glucos;
 AND Gluctmp1.amount in ;

User interfaces are very important.  Personally, I find touchpads to 
be very awkward.  Many of my mouse actions are point-and-click.  With a 
mouse, it  is simple.  With a touchpad, I have to move my finger around 
and then move it around to click the button.  (Due to my dry hands, 
clicking on the pad is not
reliable.  I have actually caused clicks on my touchpad when I was not 
touching the touchpad but had my finger just above.)


Touchpads are demons from hell! The first thing I do when I get a laptop is 
disable tapping on the touchpad so I can keep it from doing something I 
don't want it to do long enough for me to jam a USB mouse into it.


That is, when I deal with laptops at all, which I also hate...

I wonder how much of the homeless problem comes down to mental health.

I have to admit I have a hunch being homeless by choice could be a very 
satisfying
path overall. I've had a few transient periods in my life and I tend to 
look back at

them fondly even though they were hard at the time.


I bet if you spend an hour talking with the guy who is homeless by choice 
and ask the right questions, you will find out that he is, indeed, mentally 
ill and unable to cope with the demands of maintaining the sort of 
self-organization that is necessary in order to keep a roof over one's head.


Having worked in the disability services field for a very long time, I can 
tell you that probably 99% of the people who are chronically homeless have 
psychiatric or intellectual disabilities, or both. Those who are 
temporarily homeless (for a few months) are a different group.

I camped out one time for about 90 days on 30 acres in between contracts.

Loved it

But I also wonder about the girl in the video that looks like a druggie now.
If she is, could that come from the destitution of having no way out when
your job was sent offshore?

For nearly ten years now I've been unable to find steady work.
Used to think it was only me, but I've heard from many because of my work at
KAAW that are experiencing the same.
