Hourly Scheduled Task

Submitted by BinksUK on Sun, 04/23/2006 - 08:12

Occasionally the need arises for you to schedule a task, even more occasionally you want that task to run frequently. Windows idea of frequent is daily, when you add a task it isn't overly obvious that you can schedule a task to run hourly etc. You can.

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Schedule Tasks

File -> New -> Scheduled Task

Give the task a name

Open it

Set what you want the task to do and then flip to the Schedule tab.

Percentage

Submitted by BinksUK on Sun, 04/23/2006 - 05:42

Percentage = (out-of value/ total value)*100 e.g. a score of 25 out of 50 in a tma gives a percentage of (25/50)*100 = 50%

Find the decimal of a percentage = percentage / 100

Percentage increase = total * (1 + percentage decimal) i.e increase Â£20 by 10% = 20 * 1.10 = Â£22

Percentage decrease = total * (1 - percentage decimal) i.e. decrease Â£20 by 10% = 20 * .90 = Â£18

Find a percentage of a total = total * percentage decimal i.e. 10% of Â£20 = Â£20 * .10 = Â£2

Yes That Was A Re-direct

It seems the only way I can get drupal to work properly at the moment is to redirect you to the server it's hosted on rather than pulling the site in with a frame, sorry, I am working on it. You may want to bookmark the server address rather than bouncing over from the binksuk site for now. The problem it seems is the way Drupal uses cookies, I'm sure there is a way around, I've just got to find it.

Back We Go

Submitted by BinksUK on Tue, 04/18/2006 - 12:07

Back to work, the summer term begins.

Today's presentation went well, worth the work we'd put into it I think. Shattered now though, morning work is definitely not for me!

The afternoon has seen some sleep and then some infuriatingly slow progress on the fault logger. All the big bits are there but I'm not 100% confident of its performance on a larger scale deployment and there's still tonnes of little bits to do. Better get back to it I suppose...

Another Week Passes

Submitted by BinksUK on Sat, 04/15/2006 - 10:01

Another week has passed and I still haven't made this site live, hmmm, guess I should do that or I'm effectively talking to myself... although nothing new there.

Sockets

Submitted by BinksUK on Fri, 04/07/2006 - 05:13

Summary of : http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-1996/jw-12-sockets.html

The Unix input/output (IO) paradigm - Open - Read - Write - Close. When the concept of sockets and InterProcess Communication was developed the IO paradigm was used. Sockets effectively enable channels for communication.

Specialisation

Submitted by BinksUK on Thu, 04/06/2006 - 09:26

Specialisation allows new classes, called subclasses, to be constructed from existing classes, the superclasses.

The subclass inherits all of the instance variables and instance methods of the its superclass. It can then use these and add further methods and variables as well as overriding the existing methods to create a more specialised class.

Specialisation aids code re-use, the new classes don't have to rewrite existing methods if they meet their purpose.

Constructors are not members so are not inherited by subclasses.
