Here in Africa i woke up to find Google had shut down the invitation process to Google +. So after a bit of testing I’ve found out the following how to bring your friends in to it while Google has a lock-down on the service. If you have an invite to join Google+, right click on the invite link you were sent on email and save the URL. Paste that URL to Twitter or Facebook or email it to some friends. With any luck some of them will get in via that link. I tried this by Tweeting my own invite link, and magically a few people managed to get an invite of their own. Most did not however, so this is not a full proof work-around. It seems to work if people waited a couple of minutes or refreshed the page after a minute. The better, more guaranteed hack is one or both of the following. An existing user on Google+ creates a new Circle, called (Writer or Bloggers) Invites. They then add the emails of the people they want to invite to that circle. An additional work-around – which also app...

Depending on who you talk to, you should have been using HTML5 months, nay  years ago; or it's something you might be using in 2022. As usual the truth is somewhere between the glib extremes. There's no one-size-fits-all answer to questions of platform choice: you have to consider the benefits for your own scenario. But with HTML5 I'd say if you haven't switched yet, for most people  it's probably time - there's a form of "switching" that will work for you. Some people seem caught up on the problem that many features have very poor support across browsers; or are simply put off by the thought of redoing their entire code base. Really though, you don't have to rebuild everything, not use everything in HTML5 for it to be worthwhile  switching your doctype  now. Over the past few months I've switched  a large application  and a few small sites to run the HTML5 doctype. Most have been seamless, with just one website exploding on contact ...

Abstract: A function you can use to calculate business days. Includes provisions for after hours calculations. There are quite a number of examples already on the web for calculating business days on Oracle. However, none of these did exactly what I needed for a job I was doing. What's different about my environment is the need to consider multiple geographic regions and to consider work hours and that different regions might have different work hours. Here are the deciding factors for how this function decides what to with timestamp after hours (both weekends and during the week) If the start date is after the end of the work day, and before midnight, it is advanced to the beginning of next work day. If the start date is before the beginning of the day (and therefore after midnight), it is advanced to the beginning of the current work day. If the start date is on a Saturday, it is advanced to the beginning of work day on the following Monday. If the start date is on a...

Start the application by double-clicking the shortcut on your desktop: 5. Obtain a license key. The first time you use SSMA for Oracle, you will be directed to a registration site from which you can obtain a license key (stored in a file called oracle-ssma.license). You will have to indicate the directory in which you will save this file (for example: C:\install\): Click Refresh License and SSMA tool will open. 6. Change default project setting.
