Some expressions to use:

List(select sysdate from dual) – to get date. Usually used to fill logging or auditing fields.

List(select t.PMPR_ID from crk_pmp_rusys t) – get random ID from some table. Usually used with some classifiers.

Custom dataset – to get random dates for current year.

Not so many people know that very important to change crankcase oil separator on BMW M52 engines, because it can be the cause of big problems, especially in winter time, like in Lithuania.

Why it needed

When the pistons move up and down, they also create compression in the crankcase. The engine oil has vapors and the pressure causes them to go up. On the old days they used to be vented into the atmosphere but now they’re vented back into the combustion chamber.
The vapor go through a separator because they can contain some oil and that’s something you don’t want going back into the engine. Once that’s separated, the vapors, which contain some hydrocarbons, flow into the intake manifold and into the combustion chambers. The amount of vapors going into the engine will depend on engine vacuum.

To test if it works

The test for a failed valve was simply remove the dipstick and see if air sucks in, or the engine changes pitch. With the engine idling, I removed the dipstick and the air rushing in, not only changed the pitch of the engine, but it died.

Changing

It is possible to change by it self without removing intake manifold. But then be very careful on vacuum pipes. Very difficult to put them back correctly.

Neseniai iš medicininio straipsnio perskaičiau, kad Omega 3 nesočiosios riebalų rūgštys padeda tinklainei.

Iš anksčiau buvo žinoma, kad reguliarus špinatų vartojimas, taip pat turi teigiamą poveikį. Ta medžiaga, atrodo vadinasi, liuteinas.

RockScroll – priedas Visual Studio, kuris slinkties juostą pakeičia patogesne, rodančia viso dokumento bendrą vaizdą. Be to, galima pamatyti pasirinkto kintamojo visas vietas dokumente. Neįsivaizduoju jau darbo be šio priedo.

Vėl pradėjau lankyti ActiveGym. Esu mėgėjas, o ne profesionalas, todėl vertinsiu iš savo pusės.

Pirmiausia man patogu, nes netoli nuo namųm nereikia niekur važiuoti. Taip sutaupau laiko, pinigų ir sveikatos.

Bet didžiausias pliusas man, kad ten jaučiamas asmeninis dėmesys. Impuls primena McDonaldą, didelis tinklas, daug žmonių, užlenktos (į viršų) kainos. ActiveGym’e viskas jaukiau, visi treneriai išmano savo darbą, pataria ir pakonsultuoja. Kainos irgi geresnės. Bet kaina – ne pagrindinis rodiklis.

Impuls patogu, jei nori į baseiną (nors jis tik 25 metrų, tai daugiau reklamai, o ne rimtam plaukiojimui) ir gali si tuo pačiu abonimentu lankytis kituose miestuose. O man tenka dažnai būti savaitgaliais ne Vilniuje.

Dimension Hierarchies

Dimension hierarchies introduce formal hierarchies into a business model, allowing Oracle BI Server to calculate useful measures and allowing users to drill down to more detail. In a business model, a dimension hierarchy represents a hierarchical organization of logical columns belonging to a single logical dimension table. Common dimension hierarchies used in a business model are time periods, products, customers, suppliers, and so forth.

Dimension hierarchies are created in the Business Model and Mapping layer and end users do not see them in end user tools such as Oracle BI Answers or Interactive Dashboards. In each dimension hierarchy, you organize dimension attributes into hierarchical levels. These levels represent the organizational rules and reporting needs required by your business. They provide the structure that Oracle BI Server uses to drill into and across dimensions to get more detailed views of the data. Dimension hierarchy levels are used to perform aggregate navigation, configure level-based measure calculations, and determine what attributes appear when Oracle BI users drill down in their data requests.

Logical tables

There are two main categories of logical tables: fact and dimension.

Fact tables

Logical fact tables contain the measures by which an organization gauges its business operations and performance.

Dimension tables

Logical dimension tables contain the data used to qualify the facts.

I had to put SILL STRIP FRONT (part Nr.3) in my car, but for that I needed to buy special tools to remove clips (part Nr.7). Hmmm, than I got brilliant idea. You can see it in photos below this text.

Took a screwdriver and cotton. Wrapped it around a clip and pulled up.

Job done!

Usually this error is got when Oracle express edition is used. It means, that .NET connection pool has many open connections hanging, too many for oracle.

To see how many sessions there are, log in as SYSDBA and execute this statement:

select count(*) from gv$session

Then check these two parameters in oracle:

select name, value from v$parameter where name in (‘processes’,’sessions’);

Then alter these parameters. Oracle professional has value of processes = 300. So you can increase it till this value. Commands to do that:

alter system set processes=300 scope=spfile;
alter system set sessions=300 scope=spfile;

 

This is kind of temporary solution. Usually this means that .NET program has some problems like forgotten to close connections. Or as we had using Subsonic 2.x with custom oracle provider and Subsonic.DatabaseTransaction object.

Because I use flickr a lot, I found this screensaver Flickr .Net screensaver on codeplex. It just takes pictures from flickr and displays them as screensaver on your PC.

I liked two features: you can specify tags, by which it searches for the pictures. And it wraps picture with a nice frame. Than picture looks like it was taken with old kodak instant picture camera.
