Lookeen use case: How to work with Microsoft Exchange Servers
The Microsoft exchange server offers a wide spectrum of functions which allow a various number of operators to use different systems to work in cooperation together.
The most often used features of exchange servers are :
- E-Mails
- Appointments and calendars
- Tasks
- Contacts and addresses
- Notes
- Documents
All of the above mentioned elements are stored on a central server and are made available to a user-defined number of operators. Therefore the information's are always without redundancy and up to date.
The benefit of this architecture is obvious.
Let's assume, that you have a support section in your company and use for the contact address email@example.com an exchange inbox. Now all of your associates can see, which E-Mails have already been answered, what cases still wait for a reply and they can even see the proposal for solutions that have been made.
But the working day has changed a lot in the past years. May it be that projects are realized at the customer's location, companies use more and more outwork or that companies have structures reaching around the entire world.
Security: Encryption with VPN
Users from outside the company network can offer their knowledge and participate through the so called VPN (Virtual Private Network). This ensures that the participants of projects always are provided with information's up to date and without redundancy.
Using the online mode you work within the infrastructure of your company and adjust information's in real time with your system. If the connection to the company network is disabled, you just turn your exchange server into the offline mode. This creates a copy of your inbox, which in turn allows you to still have fast access to your data.
This copy of your inbox is regularly updated by the mail server when you are online. Once the connection is enabled again, Microsoft Outlook will switch back into the online mode. Changes made by you, while there was no connection to the server, are automatically adjusted as soon as the connection is enabled again. Of course the synchronization of the worldwide data is a challenge for the exchange server. For example, if an operator uses a cell phone and has an UMTS connection, an adjustment of large files would take way to long.
Therefore Microsoft uses the so called "cached mode" since the exchange server 2003. In the cached mode, the exchange application possesses an automatic online/offline-management, which is running in the background. This equilibrates the encumbrance of the connection to the exchange server because some of the contents aren't aligned despite the connection to the exchange server is established.
Bulletin boards and product reviews that are dealing with search tools, often complain about the fact that most tools aren't able to search and index all exchange inboxes in all modes. Especially for this case of application, and for a professional environment in general, Lookeen was developed. We at Axonic Informationsdienste GmbH are aware of the fact, that the base principle of development for Lookeen is the compatibility to exchange servers.
After the release of Lookeen the feedback is thoroughly positive and a huge amount of encouragement reached us. All involved in this dialogue profited of it. Companies used the smooth support of exchange servers as the reason for choosing Lookeen over other search tools.
Archives or inboxes that are on the exchange servers are simply added in the Lookeen options and because of the Lookeen terms of references, we spoke about in a previous article, all particulars of the handling of the exchange servers and their clients can be individually configured.
Lookeen supports the exchange server indication in all modes, no matter if you are online or offline, if you are using the cached or the uncached mode. With Lookeen you search through all of your data in a few seconds, even on your exchange servers.
One Response to Lookeen use case: How to work with Microsoft Exchange Servers
Bitte um Informationen welche GPO oder ADM's zur Einrichtung von LOOKEEN auf Exchange Server geeignet sind.
Haben Lookeen aktuelle Version gekauft und installiert.
Leider stützt Outlook ständig ab (diverse Clients über TS angemeldet).
Haben ca. 30.000 Emails und sonstige Outlook Elemente zu indizieren.
Selbst bei zentraler Indizierung per Admin Outlook Konto geht das nur bei angemeldetem Outlook Konto.
Hilfe?… Danke für die Antwort

Blitzen Trapper Ready EP, Tour
By Tom Breihan on June 10, 2009 at 1:45 p.m. EDT
Since early 2008, Portland twangers Blitzen Trapper have been selling a CD-R with six unreleased tracks at their live show. On August 24, Sub Pop will release the Black River Killer EP, which will include all six of those songs, plus the title track, which previously appeared on last year's Furr.
Of course, if Blitzen Trapper were only still selling the EP at shows and nowhere else, you'd still have plenty of opportunities to buy it. The band recently announced another set of tour dates, and these guys are going to be on the road well into autumn. One of those dates, of course, will be at our very own Pitchfork Music Festival.

George Hill has been cleared to play in game 6 of the Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks second-round series. Hill suffered a concussion and was forced to miss game 5, which let the Knicks back into the series.
According to Howard Beck, Hill has now been cleared and will play. This is great news for the Pacers. Without Hill, the Pacers naturally struggled on both ends of the ball in the previous game.

There's Naked Ping-Pong, played not-nakedly out of a Tribeca loft; there are the nightly no-joke matches in Chinatown; there's the string quartet that accompanies the skip of the ping-pong ball on Tuesday nights at Fat Cat in the West Village. The sudden popularity of the sport suggests that China's cultural hegemony over the West has begun in earnest. Either that, or ping-pong is, you know, the new bocce. "It's bigger than bocce," says Opening Ceremony's Humberto Leon, a confirmed ping-pong fanatic. "Ping-pong has some of the same appeal, because it's a game you can play over drinks. It's social." According to Leon, his interest in table tennis was rejuvenated a few years ago on a trip to Berlin, at bar called Mr. Pong. "It's like the Max Fish of Berlin, only with ping-pong tables. That piqued our interest—we wound up ordering a table for our office. And then, once we had our radar up, we started seeing ping-pong everywhere." Leon and his Opening Ceremony co-founder Carol Lim have faced off in friendlies against fellow enthusiasts such as Rogan Gregory and Vogue editor Jane Herman, and a ping-pong tourney took center stage at the store's 72-hour shop-a-thon earlier this month. Leon and Lim's passion for the pong runs so deep, in fact, that for Spring '09 they're introducing a ping-pong sweater. Their friend Alexander Wang is getting into the act, too. Sort of. Wang is having his fashion week after-party at the New York Table Tennis Federation space downtown, and rest assured, partygoers will be working up a sweat. "We're moving all the ping-pong tables out," Wang says, "so there's room to dance."
I would rather dance then playing a ping pong game, It's easier to do (and then I mean dancing) But I adore people who can compete each other in this very fast game. The total control of your muscles/body is in my view very important and never forget actually the control over your mind.

Jobbie Nooner/Surprise Gift Unveiling by Buzz - about 1 year ago
"My experience with CustomInk was awesome! Total time from conception of idea to delivery was about 3 weeks and that is because I waited a week to place the order. My friend has a boat named Motor Boatin' and he had mentioned that he needed sweatshirts to keep on the boat for when the weather was chilly. So, I contacted his wife and got a pic of the logo and sent it in to CustomInk. Vanessa put together the design by adding the swirls under the logo. He didn't know I got them for him, and he was very excited to see them. I unveiled them at Jobbie Nooner which is a summer kick off party on the water in the suburbs of Detroit. The weather was a bit rainy and it cooled off, so we got to sport the hoodies later in the day. Thanks again for your wonderful service!!!"

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Last week, Dick Cheney and Barack Obama carried on a bizarre, disembodied and deeply dissatisfying debate about national security. In a major speech on May 21, Obama denounced torture, defended his plan to close Guantánamo and blasted the Bush administration's approach to fighting terrorism, saying it "failed to rely on our legal traditions and time-tested institutions [and] failed to use our values as a compass." One minute later, Cheney — who had been blasting Obama's national security for weeks — took to the airwaves to warn that Obama's rejection of torture and his plan to shut down the military prison at Guantánamo were "unwise in the extreme." Accusing Obama of "recklessness wrapped in righteousness," the former vice-president said Obama had made the country less safe.
For the large majority of Obama's supporters who utterly reject the Bush administration's approach to fighting terrorism, the president's speech was disillusioning. Despite his soaring rhetoric about "upholding our most cherished values," Obama proposed eviscerating those values by continuing the Bush policies of military tribunals and indefinite detention. Coming on the heels of the Senate's humiliating 90-6 vote to keep Guantánamo open and forbid transferring any of its inmates to U.S. prisons, Obama's speech was a dispiriting confirmation that the country's leadership is still locked into the same fearful "war on terror" mind-set.
The sad thing is that Obama could have chosen a different path. Yet he clung to establishment positions that his supporters have long rejected. His decisive victory in November proved that America is ready to turn the page on the entire Bush era, from its economic policies to its "war on terror." For an exhausted and disillusioned country, Obama represents hope, and embracing hope means sloughing off fear. Like Cheney, who spent much of his time hiding in an underground bunker, Americans spent the Bush years cowering in a metaphorical cave, terrified that the terrorists were coming to get them. Bush's hyper-aggressive foreign policy, his trashing of civil and legal rights and U.N. conventions, were simply the other face of a craven and debilitating fear.
The terrorist attacks on 9/11 were a dreadful trauma. But that trauma took place almost eight years ago, and a natural and salutary forgetfulness has occurred. One of the virtues of this still-green republic has always been its capacity to quickly recover from setbacks, to refuse to dwell on the past, to constantly remake itself. Of all the American virtues, elasticity is perhaps the most important. In a process as natural as the blossoming of flowers in the spring, Americans are ready to reclaim their courage. And they expect and want their young president to lead them forward.
Obama has tried to lead America out of the shadows of the Bush years. He has projected a calm optimism, a reasoned determination, that is a breath of fresh air after the puerile, bullying bravado of George W. Bush and the dark, croaking counsel of his evil courtier Cheney. And he has said inspiring things about the importance of defending our laws, rights and traditions, even in the face of terrorist threats. But because Obama has failed to directly reject the irrational boogeymen his predecessors whipped up, and because he has continued many of their policies, he has not been able to spring us from their dank culture of fear.
The Guantánamo debacle, in which Senate Democrats voted overwhelmingly to reject funds to close it, is just one painful result of Obama's unwillingness to challenge the culture of fear. The Senate was spooked by polls showing that Americans, their paranoia aroused by talk radio demagogues and Fox News hacks, were afraid that terrorists would end up in their backyards. Obama was rightfully criticized for failing to come up with a coherent plan for what to do with the Guantánamo detainees.
But that was not Obama's real problem. His real problem was his failure to forthrightly say that while terrorism remains a threat, its danger has been greatly overblown. Obama needed to tell Americans the truth, which is that no open society can ever be absolutely free from terrorist attacks, and that a society that allows its irrational fear of such attacks to cause it to jettison its laws, freedoms and most cherished traditions has already lost to the terrorists. He needed to say that while we will never forget 9/11, always honor the memory of its victims, and never let our guard down, we cannot allow one attack, no matter how horrific and spectacular, to determine the nature and future of our country. He needed to draw a line in the sand, and tell Americans that while he will do everything in his power to protect them, only fools dream of eternal, perfect safety. In short, he needed to seize the terrorism shibboleth root and branch and pull it out of the ground.
This would not have been easy. Politicians do not generally choose to ask their constituents to accept risks of any kind. Denying death may be mentally unhealthy, but it is de rigueur in politics. And even though the Republican Party is going through a meltdown so grotesque that it makes Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" look like an inspiring tale of personal growth, Democrats continue to be terrified that the right will paint them as "soft on national security."
Above all, there is the very nature of terrorism, which is, well, terrifying. Because it is random, indiscriminate, driven by hatred, and seemingly pointless, terrorism taps into primordial human fears in a way that no other form of violence does. It is a monster that inhabits our collective id. Since 9/11, the word "terrorism" has been a totem, a quasi-religious myth, a nightmarish archetype that occupies the same place in our national imagination that "hell" did for the people of the Middle Ages. "Terrorism" blurs the boundaries of political and personal fear: It represents at once a thoroughly human evil to be hated and fought against, and the impersonal, fatalistic face of death itself. Terrorism is fate with a hideous face, like the White Whale that Ahab hates and tries to kill in Melville's "Moby-Dick." (Indeed, the Bush administration's unwinnable, endless, self-defeating "war on terror" is more than a little reminiscent of Ahab's obsessive quest — which ends, it is well to remember, with the destruction of his ship and all of its crew save the narrator Ishmael.)
Because terrorism in our national imagination is simultaneously villain and nemesis, human and inhuman, the "war" against terrorism slips into becoming a war not just against fanatical jihadis but against our own death, against the very idea of death. As we accept this, repression of reality and the infantile fantasy of perfect safety — in other words, cowardice — become the driving forces of our lives.
This craven position dishonors a country whose troops fought at Valley Forge and Shiloh and Belleau Wood and Guadalcanal and Hue and Fallujah. It is not worthy of the mighty nation whose diverse people came together 60 years ago to help defeat the most dangerous tyrant in the history of humankind. But it is not an easy one for a politician to oppose. Indeed, the cadaverous Cheney, who has now fully embraced his role as the horrifying shadow of our national soul, is essentially accusing Obama of leading America toward death.
Once the argument is framed in these terms, Obama cannot win. By tacitly accepting Cheney's terms — by shamefully proposing that we detain suspected terrorists indefinitely without real trials, or by refusing to release photographs of Americans torturing people in their control — Obama has enabled and encouraged our diffuse national cowardice. The American people will continue to cling to irrational positions, like refusing to put convicted terrorists in supermax penitentiaries from which no one has ever escaped, until Obama puts the threat of terrorism in its correct perspective, removes it from the realm of metaphysics and nightmares and returns it to earth, as the ugly but manageable tactic that it is. The only way for Obama to break out of Cheney's trap is to reject the suppositions it is based on.
Cheney's death-obsessed vision found its ultimate expression in his notorious "1 percent doctrine." As revealed in Ron Suskind's eponymous book, the doctrine held that the U.S. should treat an even 1 percent chance of a terrorist attack as if it were a certainty. This doctrine was directly responsible for America's calamitous behavior in the last eight years. It led to policies and actions — torture, targeted assassinations, indiscriminate aerial bombing, detention without trial, denial of habeas rights — that only enrage previously neutral people, increase the number of potential terrorists and threaten our national security.
Which is exactly what al-Qaida and their ilk want. A few fanatical jihadis hiding in caves cannot fatally damage the United States: Only the United States can fatally damage the United States. Under the fearful reign of Bush and Cheney, America went a long way toward becoming a country its own citizens would not recognize. As his May 21 speech showed, Obama clearly realizes that many of the policies pursued by his predecessors are irrational, inhumane, unjust and self-defeating. But he has not repudiated their fundamental error, their misapprehension of the actual threat posed by Islamist terrorists.
Which is why Obama's left hand has consistently undone what his right hand has done. He is by nature a difference-splitter, a position that has its virtues. But some differences cannot be split. Either we are locked in an endless, self-defeating war on terror or we are not. Either our laws, traditions and freedoms are more important than an infantile dream of perfect, eternal safety, or they are not. Either we are clear-sighted enough to realize that different kinds of enemies require different responses and that treating a handful of jihadis as if they were the second coming of Nazi Germany is foolish, or we are not. Either we live in the land of the free or we do not.
In 1933, when the nation was in the depths of the Great Depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his first inaugural address. That towering president said, "This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
FDR's words gave heart to Americans facing a crisis and a threat far worse than any posed by terrorists today. The country has a new president, and it wants a new direction. It is waiting for him to sound his trumpet.

text: The point of a cover is to take something that may have influenced you and you pay tribute to it by reimagining the song. Back in the 1950's and before, it was common place to have three or four versions of one song because someone would take it and reinterpret the song. A lot of times in my opinion it was because of racial issues hence the reason a lot of Elvis's older songs were covers of songs that were written by African Americans. In the 1960's a band emerged from England to literally take over the world of music and they have since become idolized. Of course, I am talking about The Beatles who were a very influential band for rock and pop music. Revolution was a song that I always loved from The Beatles because of it's distorted, edgy sound. Then some decades later comes the Stone Temple Pilots and their cover of the song which is a version I love. The band doesn't stray away from the classic sound of the track, but it's Scott Weiland's vocals that amaze me the most about the track. I think it's absolutely amazing and definitely a cover worth checking out.

Crap computers in a crap box: Smart-meter blackouts risk to UK
Re: Whilst I can see the value.....@Phil

Re: Whilst I can see the value.....@Tom Walsh
When I installed an electricity monitor about four years ago, I was appalled by the base load of the house. It prompted me to go through all the devices and thinking what was being left on or on standby which should have been powered off (seriously, CRT tellies in standby can draw 60-100W).
It also encouraged me to identify all of the lights that are on for large parts of the day and making sure that I used the lowest power bulbs that did the job (my house has people in it 24x7 at the moment because my wife does not work and all the kids have moved back in! - seen the sitcom "My Family"? It's like that).
Since then, I have also had nearly all the old CRT tellies replaced by LCD ones (well, it was as good an excuse as any, and an easy Christmas present for the kids with benefits to me), moved my firewall onto a laptop, rationalised the number of devices needed to drive the home network, and made sure that the freezer is kept defrosted (it really makes a difference), and also used smart-power strips to remove the power from several devices when one is put into standby.
I just wish that more devices had physical power switches (and I can't use the switch on the socket because in most places, I have more than one device plugged into the socket, and I want to, for example, power the telly down while leaving the Sky box plugged running)
My base load is still around 500W, and I'm struggling to identify where that is going. Probably not something that a smart meter would help with unless they also supplied per-plug metering devices.
It does make you wonder when you can tell that one of the kids has left their gaming rig on overnight to download some game patches, and you can see 3-400W of additional drain. And also when the gas central heating kicks in, and the electric pump starts drawing 7-800W of power itself.
If only I could persuade my wife that the tumble-drier really is one of the biggest expenses. She will not understand that 2 hours of 2.5KW easily uses more power than 24 hours of 30W for the firewall.

Re: Less is more @AC
At the time, if you wanted a serious calculator that would work for years, HP was your best bet. Their calculators were the Rolls-Royce of calculators.
Also at the time, HP were a major computer manufacturer as well as a medical and test equipment manufacturer (which is where they started). Printers were a bit of a late addition to their product set.
I agree about the EeePC 701, and mine is still working and in use running Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 13.04: No privacy controls as promised, but hey - photo search!
Re: I have a search box @AC
the '-r' switch in ls? As in reverse the order of the listing?
I use it multiple times a day. It reverses the order of the search, and is incredibly useful when used with the '-t' flag to find the most recently changed file, as in 'ls -ltr | pg' (or less, if you like).
You could just let it run to the bottom, but that's not what I want to do.
One thing which has hone wrong IMHO, is the fact that the order that files are sorted has changed with the advent of multi-byte character sets, such that the sort order is affected by the collating sequence of the NLS code page you are using. Add to this the stupid (again IMHO) default of the GNU ls to ignore non-alphabetic characters (like '.') into the equation, and the order that shown becomes almost complete nonsense for any practical purpose.
Life used to be so much more simple.
Re: What does LTS mean, anyway?
No. He's right.
If a problem in an LTS release is not fixed in the first year of the life, it almost certainly won't ever be.
One of the problems in 10.04 that gathered a huge number of sufferers was the interface to musicbrainz, which is used to identify the CD you're playing or ripping. The fact that it would not work in the library implementation that shipped with Lucid meant that you could not us it to rip CDs, without you keying in the album and track info in manually, regardless of the ripper you used (they all relied on the library implementation in Ubuntu).
After a year of relative inactivity, the responders on the Ubuntu bug tracker suggested people upgrade to a newer release of Ubuntu. After 2 years (still in the support window for Desktop), they closed down all of the reports as "will not fix". And the stupid thing is that the problem was well known, and could have been worked into the repository with comparatively little effort. People even offered to do it, but the updates were not put back into the source tree.
None of the Canonical responders were prepared to put the effort into what they saw as an old version. So I have to ask, what value is there to LTS releases. I'm not asking them to back-port the features from newer releases, but I would expect them to fix known bugs, even if they are not security related.
To fix the problem, I had to update to Precise, with all the collateral pain that caused. Now using Cinnamon on Precise relatively happily. I try Unity every now and then (it's still installed), but inevitably go back.
Re: sob. sob.
I'm fast becoming convinced that Canonical do not want Ubuntu to be seen as a Linux distribution, but as an operating environment that happens to run on top of Linux, in the same way that OSX is an operating environment running on top of Mach and BSD.
They want it to be distinct and different, and that appears to extend to being prepared to piss off long term UNIX/Linux users.
This may be a clever strategy. If they can get the wider population to adopt Ubuntu and accept it for all it's strengths as an environment in it's own right, rather than a Linux distribution, then it may be able to ditch the (undeserved IMHO) stigma that appears to blight Linux in the eyes of the community of non-Linux computer users.
But it sure does make me cross.
I'm just waiting for comments like "Oh. Ubuntu. That used to be base on Linux at one time, didn't it?". As soon as that perceived distance has been achieved, then maybe, just maybe Mark Shuttleworth will be content.
Or maybe I'm just an old fart, too out of touch to be relevant any more.

Re: Cost reduction @Big_Boomer
Cheques in the UK remain a valid payment method for transactions with businesses that choose to accept them. What has been phased out is the 'cheque guarantee' function of your card.
What has happened is that most major retailers have chosen to not accept cheques (it is their choice), although they did it on the back of the presumption that cheques would be phased out. In the end, they weren't because of the lack of a non-cash, disconnected payment method that many older people and particularly charities complained was missing. The Payments Council concluded that there was still a role for cheques (http://www.paymentscouncil.org.uk/media_centre/press_releases/-/page/1575/)
After making such an inaccurate about cheques being withdrawn, I wonder whether the icon you've chosen is actually justified.
UK.Gov passes Instagram Act: All your pics belong to everyone now
Re: Facebook / Instagram etc.
If you were to assume that being present on a website shows ownership, then what prevents someone taking your image, forging some metadata that 'proves' that it was taken earlier than you posted it, and the accusing you of stealing the image yourself! Being posted to a web site is just not enough, especially if you are dealing with Instagram or Google
When it comes to identifying photos, diligent will mean either a quick check for the presence of metadata, or an incredibly huge and impractical manual search of millions and millions of images.
As far as I know, automatic comparison of pictures is still an inexact science, which means that it will be very difficult to automate the process of working out whether a picture is the same as another picture that someone claims ownership. It's probably easier with scanned film than digital images, because you can look for grain pattern and defects, but even that can be altered with digital filters.
Considering what is done routinely to crop, rotate, change the colour pallet, touch-up and resize images, you would have to have some means of automatically and reliably hashing a picture using the major distinctive features and be able to discriminate between different pictures of the same subject.
I'm sure there must be some major research going on, but I would think that any research will mainly be working on identification of the subject, not proving that two images are the same. Whether one can come from the other is a moot point, but without this technology, I would be much happier without this legislation unless you make it a major crime with appropriate punishments to strip or forge metadata.
Master Beats: Why doesn't audio quality matter these days?
Re: It's in the ears of the beholder
Mr Dabbs was just a bit too late.
As a studentin the late 70s and early 80's, I had some of the earlier Amstrad HiFi, including an IC2000 amp. and an IC3000 tuner (and a JVC KD720 tape desk, and a turntable from Strathern, a failed Northern Irish employment project). I also had a set of Comet speakers which were the weakest components, but were the same as Amstrad speakers of the time, and definitely had two drivers, although they were replaced by a set of Keesonic Kubs, which I still have today (great little bookshelf speakers).
Now I know it was not up to the grade of my friends who had Rega, Quad, Tangerine, A&R and Mordaunt-Short kit, but it was definitely better than the so-called 'Music Centres' or pseudo stacks that many of my friends had. Was a good compromise between cost and quality.
The follow up Amstrad kit that was in hardboard boxes with tin-foil glued on to make it look like metal were crap, however. The switch was when the switch from from discrete power transistors to integrated circuits for the power amplification was the point where it went downhill. (BTW, the IC in the IC2000 amp referred to a single IC in the pre-amp stage, not the rest of the amp).

It's not all that clear cut here in the UK. Considering how small the British Isles are, there is a huge variation in regional dialect, from Scots to Welsh to Cornish, with the industrial regions of the Midlands, Liverpool and the North East all having broad and very distinct accents, some of which are as difficult to understand as your brand.
What Americans often think of as British English is an artefact of everybody wanting to talk like the Royal Family (often called the Queens English) that is mainly promoted by the BBC since Radio and TV came along. This is a real effect, but even around London, we have Cockney and Estuary English. Accents and dialects are slowly dying, but they're not dead in England yet!
Re: Quite @Don Jefe
Don't jump to too many conclusions. In many cases, it is British English that has changed, and American English that has stayed the same (I'm not talking here about unbearable brashness, street talk or Spanglish here - they're American!).
Many words used in America are hangovers from older forms of English, and some of the spellings that we think of as American are just archaic use of English.
Indeed, I've heard it said that if you want to find out how people spoke in 17th Century England, you should visit the southern Outer Banks in North Carolina, where people have lived with few outside influences for several hundred years. Just be quick about it, because they've got satellite television now!
Behold Ubuntu Server 13.04: Focus on hypervisors and OpenStack
@Paul Crawford - server/desktop releases.
I know that the LTS periods for desktop and server do not match, but I fail to see the difference when it comes to the repositories. I have a 10.04 desktop build (although it is used more like a server, but I do directly log in to it relatively regularly) in my environment, and it is still getting many updates from the repository.
I know that there is a good chance that some packages will not be updated (in particular, Chrome and Firefox updates do not happen, or happen infrequently), but the kernel and the basic OS appear to be receiving patches.
So I have taken the attitude that my 10.04 system will remain at that level for the foreseeable future. I believe that I will get basic OS security patches as long as the server LTS release is maintained, and most of the user-access stuff is sufficiently stable that I'm not overly worried that I may not get updates. Same goes for my Asus EeePC 701, which is really too small (4GB internal SSD - not upgradeable) for anything later than 10.04.
For the record, I'm using 12.04 with cinnamon on my laptop, and I am getting by, although I really would like to re-instate the pre-unity elevator boxes on my terminal sessions. The pop-up up/down/drag slider button thingy just annoys me when it disappears.

PEAK APPLE: Fondleslab giant no longer world's biggest biz
Re: lack of innovation @Kebablog
Ah, but why did DEC become a target for a Compaq buyout.
They had been in decline for some time, but licensing problems with Intel (Intel infringed on some DEC patents IIRC, but DEC suffered as a result - never really understood how, but they did) and problems further developing Alpha meant that DECs share price dipped, and Compaq made an offer the shareholders could not refuse.
Compaq probably over-reached themselves, and coupled with a loss of market share meant that they became weak themselves.
ICO probes Home Office refusal to reveal Snooper's Charter details
@Paul Crawford - I understand your concerns about who pays
but as the entirety of UK Government expenditure comes from taxes or sales of national assets, everything that the government does, including many things that are directly for "national security" are at our expense.
I totally agree that "national security" is hugely overused without the correct justification. I suspect that this is because some MPs are prepared to rubber-stamp anything that mentions the term without asking whether it is being correctly used.
Of course, if you do a global substitution to replace "national" with "Government", you may get a different picture.
Are you being robbed of sleep by badly designed servers?
It's good to see
that what has been standard practice in the Mainframe/Midrange platform market is finally becoming a reality in other architectures.
I'm an IBM pSeries and Power person, and we have been able to do remote IPL, console, and configuration/management. for years. OK, you paid a premium for some of the features, but many of the base capabilities have been built in for well over a decade, and now includes IVM/PowerVM. The RS/6000 F40 had a service processor when announced in 1996.
It does help that most of the system admin can be done from a command prompt, though.
One of the customers I worked at had a majority of their critical servers in lights-out, mainly unattended sites scattered around the country from before the Millennium..
Thatcher's data protection legacy: Just fill out this 16-page form
Legislation of it's age
IIRC, the original intent of the 1984 Data Protection act was mainly to enable people about whom information was being kept to be able to make sure that it was correct and what it was being used for, rather than for any other reason.
It may seem difficult to believe these days, but the idea of data-mining was so far off the agenda as to be unimportant, at least outside of the Security Services. In 1984, computer systems were rarely networked, and datasets were stored in isolation from each other. Client-Server computing applications were still relatively rare, and the chances of being able to discover new aspects of peoples lives by joining datasets together was so difficult to be nearly impossible.
I remember looking at the requirements to be able to change all copies of incorrect data with a degree of horror, as I had no practical way of re-writing data on system backup tapes.
Fortunately, the only personal records I was responsible for were the login details of users of the computers I administered. The Data Protection officer for the Polytechnic where I was working judged that with a small amount of change, the login details (held without any identifying information about the user other than their name and the course they were on, which was implied by the naming convention) was exempt from registration, although we did go through the exercise of filling in the forms to document that the exercise had been completed.
I was immensely grateful for this.
Netbooks projected to become EXTINCT by 2015
The only thing I can assume is that the reason you're not running Linux on the laptops is because you haven't really tried, even though you say you run it elsewhere.
I've put Ubuntu on a huge variety of laptops and netbooks from Asus, Lenovo, HP, Samsung, Dell etc, and it just works. No additional drivers, no command line tweaking, all sound, video and network devices at least working. Maybe not the accelerated graphics, and maybe not Bluetooth, but enough to use. Certainly better than a raw XP install from MS media, where almost nothing works without the vendors driver disk.
Re: Simple Explanation - MS MURDERED THE NETBOOK
You missed the bit where MS had decided that XP was at end-of-marketing, and not only did they extend XP, they actually introduced a new version specifically for the reduced memory in netbooks. This was either a shrewd marketing move or a synical u-turn, depending on your point of view.
It would have been interesting to see whether a more mainstream Linux variant would have made them any more sucessful.
I'm still using my early eeePC 701 with Lucid on it on a regular basis, and would like to find another to replace my current firewall system.
Oh S**T, here comes a ROBOT to take my JOB
Re: bad example @Robert Helpmann??
It's not quite the same. In a typing pool, they would often type from dictation, either via a dictation machine, or through the phone system (or in the really old-fashioned office, by a secretary taking shorthand). The typists needed to be able to correct grammatical errors, and spell correctly, and also know how to format a letter.
Data entry is normally repetitive, vary rarely free text prose, and extremely boring. And it's slowly being replaced by OCR and mechanical form reading, or direct entry over the Internet anyway.
WTF is... H.265 aka HEVC?
Re: Ah, another patent encumbered format @Frank Bough
That's probably true now, although as standards progress, it means that you keep having to update your adapter (or phone or tablet) every time a new codec is becomes 'standard'.
Re: Ah, another patent encumbered format @JDX
But it is not just the software. In your comments, you're assuming that the people who write an alternative implementation have ripped off your code.
This is always about software patents, not the code itself. OK, you write a nice implementation, your code should be protected, I totally agree. But the algorithm used should be open, so that someone can provide an alternative implementation. If you can prove that they copied your code, then I would support you suing them through every court in the land. But if they wrote their own, through their own efforts.....
It's a serious dilemma, I admit, but all the time we have ambitions to produce a truly free operating system suitable for everybody,, then we have these problems.
I could (although with some reluctance) support going to a model where the OS is free, but the licensed codecs you need have a reasonable cost associated with them (in line with the H.264 charges that seem entirely reasonable). That is how it was in the early Windows days (remember Windows when it could not play media out-of-the-box and you had to buy software to play music and video), although too many people just copied MP3 and DVD packages on Windows.
If we go to this model, it should be clear that this is the case to users of all operating systems, and maybe other OS vendors should be prevented from providing the software as part of their OS offerings. But this has not exactly been a totally successful strategy in the Browser rulings.
And as long as the alternative implementations abide to the rules on the use of LGPL toolchains, this should not fall foul of any open systems licensing, either.
Re: Ah, another patent encumbered format @ Spaniel
I got it wrong. It's 100,000 units, not 10,000.
This is a quote from the MPEG-LA H.264 License terms summary.
For (a) (2) branded encoder and decoder products sold on an OEM basis for incorporation into personal computers as part of a personal computer operating system, a Legal Entity may pay for its customers as follows (beginning January 1, 2005): 0 - 100,000 units/year = no royalty (available to one Legal Entity in an affiliated group); US $0.20 per unit after first 100,000 units/year; above 5 million units/year, royalty = US $0.10 per unit. The maximum annual royalty ("cap") for an Enterprise (commonly controlled Legal Entities)
is $3.5 million per year in 2005-2006, $4.25 million per year in 2007-08 and $5 million per year in 2009-10, and $6.5 million per year in 2011-15
All rights to this text belong to MPEG-LA (just a disclaimer to avoid any copyright issues)
So, 20 cents for every shipped copy between 100,000 and 5,000,000, and 10 cents after that up to a maximum of $5 million dollars. That's quite acceptable if you are incorporating it into a product costing $20, but not so good if you are wanting to include it in a popular free Linux distribution. I wonder whether the fact that you are not 'selling' Linux is enough to get out of "sold on an OEM basis" part of the clause?
Re: Ah, another patent encumbered format
I'm perfectly happy with software being paid for running on Open Source platforms, but patenting the codecs such that you can't legally provide them as part of a free (as in free beer) OS puts huge amounts of leverage against projects who want to provide a free OS.
The problem is that if you stay within the law, and don't ship what may become the de-facto standard for video, then something like Linux will always be seen as not for general consumption.
Alternatively, if you ship the codecs as part of a distribution regardless, so that the experience to the end user is good, then MPEG-LA can then demand a payment from you. You have no revenue stream because you are providing the software for free, and cannot pay unless you are Mark Shuttleworth (who paid for an H.264 distribution license for Ubuntu, and got heavily criticised for it).
The problem clauses in the H,264 are the volume, which says something like the distributor has to pay a licence fee per copy deployed if they ship more than 10,000 copies, and the one that says that if you have to pay a fee if you use the encoder to produce commercial videos.
Bearing in mind how viral Linux distributions can be, how do you measure how many times it has been deployed. I download one install image, and use it to install thousands of systems, and offer re-distribution from my web site. How is that measured? And who should pay?
And what qualifies as commercial? If one of my kids record the neighbours cat doing something comical, and upload it to YouTube, and Google attaches adverts, is the video for commercial purposes? Should I pay for the encode? Should Google, even though that may not have encoded it?
Licensing like this is a legal minefield for Open Software since the days of MPEG2 Layer 3 (aka MP3) or GIF. My point is that it would be so much better if the codecs (or even just the algorithms) were available under a permissive license.
Ah, another patent encumbered format
Let's hope that MPEG-LA are more generous about the licenses, although I would be surprised if they were.
And to pre-empt people who say that H.264 was freely available, I suggest that you look at the commercial encoding and decoder volume distribution clauses in the license agreement.
Half of US smartphone owners have no idea which mobe to buy next
I had these discussions with my Palm Treo 650
I kept being phoned up by my Service Provider saying I could upgrade my phone.
At the time (pre-iPhone), my answer was another question "What can I upgrade to?"
When all they could offer was a Windows Mobile phone, I normally answered "And that is an upgrade?" Eventually, I went Android, although an odd quirk was that because I didn't take an upgrade when I was entitled to it, when I did, the discount I was offered was less if I had upgraded promptly. Bizarre!
I was very happy with my Treo, and it is still by fall-back phone. And now, over 6 years later and still on it's original battery, It still lasts longer on one charge than my Sony Xperia.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Re: 7 chaos emeralds in the first title?
Was it not "The Eggman" in the Japanese version, rather that Dr Robotnik?
Sonic also spawned at least two cartoon series on TV. Not quite the 360 degree marketing that Nintendo had with Pokemon, but still quite high market penetration.
I can still remember the nasal "I'm waaaaiting" from the cartoon series, which was akin to Sonic crossing his arms and tapping a foot if you didn't move in the games.
Can't believe nobody has mentioned Spinball yet!
This was a really strange blend of Sonic and pinball, and yet it worked quite well.
When I got my oldest son a Dreamcast (picked it up at 00:00 on launch day), together with a copy of Sonic Adventure, I remember watching in dizzy, sickened awe at the speed of the traversal of the 3-D ramps and loops with the background swooping and rolling around. I found it unbelievable that it was able to render the backgrounds as fast as it did.
Whilst Sonic was undoubtedly a triumph, Sega had a stable of exceptional other titles that over the years included Alex Kidd, Ecco the Dolphin, Panzer Dragoon (particularly Saga), Knights into Dreams, and my personal favourite, Burning Rangers (the absolute heyday of the Saturn IMHO).
The ten SEXIEST computers of ALL TIME
Re: you forgot!
I'm sure I still have a picture in the 1976 "Electronics Tomorrow" special edition of the magazine Electronics Today International (the one that also had pre-release articles about Star Wars) of a PET 2001 prototype that was curvy.
When the production PETs came out, I thought the steel case and chiclet keys were just plain ugly, although that did not stop a group of us on the college staff-student consultative committee from trying to get one bought for the college. Unfortunately (for us), the council voted for a mini-bus instead. In hindsight, that was probably the best choice, but it did not seem so at the time.
Hold on! Degrees for all doesn't mean great jobs for all, say profs
@Eric Olson
I could not believe how many attempts at passing the stats the psychology students were allowed before they failed at the university I was at. IIRC, they had at least six chances, and I only had two at the maths to support my computing/electronics course. And their stats were really simple! I did the same at Advanced A-Level maths.
Re: It's whether the degree is *hard* or *soft* @boltar
It's not that one is better than the other. I suspect that from a purists point of view, the most elegant, sophisticated and efficient code is written by old-school computer science graduates, you know, those who actually understood the reason for doing things, not just the learn-by-wrote of current teaching methods.
But I would also accept that the code that most resembles what is required for a particular problem may be produced by people who don't have a computer science degree.
The thing is that someone who has been taught computer science probably has a relatively poor understanding of problems that are not directly related with computers. So if you are programming a system for another discipline, someone with outside skills who has cross-trained to get relevant programming skills may not turn out the best code, but may have a better understanding of the requirements, especially if they have applicable knowledge for the problem. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, there will be exceptions, but computing is a terrifically introvert area of work.
A previous poster pointed out that the best technical writers are not computer scientists, and I agree. Writing good documentation is a totally different skill from writing good code. Someone with a basic technical understanding, access to the code writers to ask technical questions, and good writing skills will in almost all circumstances turn out better documentation that the code writers themselves. At least the spelling and grammar will be correct!
Freeview telly test suggests 4G interference may not be a big deal
I checked last week
and if anybody is likely to have problems, it is me.
My closest English transmitter is Mendip (channels 49-58), but as that is about 40 miles away, I currently need an multi-tap amplifier to make sure that all the TVs in the house get acceptable signal.
Within a few degrees of arc of direct line to Mendip, and at a distance of no more than 600 metres, there are two cell basestations run by operators who won slots in the 4G auction. So there is a great chance that if these basestations start operating in the 800MHz band, my TV aerial and amplifier combination will get a great 4G signal, with little chance of using a directional antenna to alleviate the problem. If a filter attenuates the TV signal too much, it will probably degrade the signal enough so it is no longer viable.
I'm trying to get information from the operators (found using http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/search), but so far, they have not answered my queries. I want to know as soon as possible, as I have several TVs in the house, and want to find out the impact as soon as possible.
I just hope that I don't have to wait until too late to find out.
World's first petaflops super dumped on scrap heap
Re: cooling the water before sending it to the super
Even that's not really possible. They use an evaporative cooling system as much as they can (they really are into providing the perception that they use as little power as possible - which could be understood if only you knew who they are). The only time that this cannot be done is when the outside temperature is too high, and this is likely to be the time that heating anything is least required.
I got my information directly from the building power and cooling engineer/manager, and if he can't work out a way of getting something useful back, I'm certain it can't be easy.
Re: Paying to keep it running.
The heat that comes out of these systems is regarded a low-grade. What this means is that the temperature differential is not high enough to make it particularly practical to use.
Roadrunner is air-cooled (see the picture, spot the hot-cold aisles and no water-cooled rear doors), so the the heat will be picked up by the air handlers.
I've worked with 2 generations of IBM was water-cooled supers, and the output temperature of the water is around 25 degrees centigrade (although slightly hotter for the newer system). This is colder than the ambient temperature of the halls (it's a power concious organisation that is experimenting with running the machine rooms hotter than you would normally expect to save power). This makes it less than luke warm, and certainly not hot enough to even heat the water to wash your hands. The cooling works by cooling the water before sending it to the super (input temperature around 13 degrees centigrade), so the cooling was actually at the wrong end.
Of course, you could use heat-pumps to concentrate the heat, like ground water heaters, but there is a law of diminishing returns operating. If it takes more electrical power to concentrate the head than would be necessary to directly generate the same amount of heat, there is no gain.
"Think of all the copper"
is not that appropriate as a title for a picture showing fibre cables! Those are fibre Infiniband cables, with electro-optical transceivers (like SFPs) at both ends. The colour is a dead give-away.
Undoubtedly there will be quite a lot of copper in the system, but not in the picture.
How the iPad ruined the lives of IT architects
It's a simple balance...
...availability vs. cost.
There have been highly available and even un-interruptible services around, but you have to pay for them, and they don't come cheap. Nor do the staff to set them up and run them.
Microsoft probably have an HA offering now, but I expect that even they will charge a premium.
Segregating the function, so that you can put your information distribution systems on simple, small, cheap, and redundant servers in front of your actual service machines can help with the appearance of a service being available (as well as increasing the security), but if you truly want high availability, it's going to cost.
Animal Liberation drone surveillance plan draws fire
"shoot the drone out of the sky"
He's obviously not seen birdshot in action fired from a shotgun. If you can hit a clay pigeon or a bird at 20 metres, you should be able to do enough damage to bring one of these 'copters down, which is within the range of most shotguns.
And if they tried to retrieve it, that would be trespass.
Oracle's new T5 Sparcs boost scalability in chip and chassis
Re: Kebabfart M5-32 is not the only one with 32TB RAM
I would dispute that seti@home is an HPC workload. It is a distributed workload, partitioned into units that can be worked on in isolation from each other.
There is a huge difference between a distributed workload and a proper HPC workload, and people like weather agencies, atomic research institutions etc. would be only too happy to explain.
Proper HPC needs a huge interconnect, so that a single model can be broken down into multiple threads spanning many systems, all passing data between each other.
BTW, IBM P7 795s are quite cool, but P7 775s are even cooler (literally, water cooled cooler!). I know, because I work with a couple of clusters worth.
I am NOT a PC repair man. I will NOT get your iPad working
Re: As far as my neighbours are concerned
It's not impossible. I can claim both in my experience (it's even on my CV)!
(Historically, UTS and AT&T R&D UNIX on Amdahl mainframes, AIX/370 on IBM mainframes, and two generations of IBM HPC where I currently work!)
Currently, I don't think there is any mainframe proper sold with UNIX, although Linux would not be a problem. I don't count HP Integrity Superdome or the IBM 795s as mainframes.
But having said that, I still get asked about PCs. My stock answer is "PCs, horrible little systems. I can't stand them!"
@Ross K - Don't be dense!
Each direction of my daily commute takes me 75-90 minutes to travel 42 miles.
It's not traffic that slows me down, it's the fact that there is not a single stretch of dual carriadge way or better, and there are things like towns and villages to drive through with speed restrictions, tractors and other farm machinery, caravans, sheep, cyclists and even the odd tourist who thinks that doing 25 on a national speed limit country road because it's pretty does not worry the people behind them who cannot pass because they cannot see far enough ahead to pass safely.
Just because you may be able to jump on a motorway and burn along at 80 does not mean that everybody can!
My lifestyle is my choice, I admit, and I put up with the drive because it's actually a nice place to live with many other benefits, but sometimes it does get too much.
iPads in education: Not actually evil, but pretty close
Re: modern technology @dz-015
Why? Because some of them may actually think of working in the field, and they cannot make a decision about whether they would be able to until they have relevant knowledge. It's truly shocking how little almost all kids know about how computers work when they leave school.
I'm not saying that there is no value to iPads, but that there are better ways to obtain the skills. In their day, BBC micros could do representative actions for almost the whole spectrum of contemporary computing skills (I know, I built and ran a lab of them in the early '80s at Newcastle Polytechnic that was used to teach computer appreciation), as well as learning to program. I used it to teach structured programming in BBC Basic and Pascal, assembler programming, word processing, spreadsheets, graphics (including basic design using a digitiser, WIMP and touch screens), robotics, basic networking (putting an oscilloscope on the Econet cable was a real eye opener for the students), and many more things than I can remember.
Tablets can do some of these, but I think that as a representative computing device, they are poor. It really does depend on whether they are the ONLY devices available in the schools.
Photo, music and video editing can be done, but would be better on a machine with more memory and disk, for anything except the smallest project.
For an art and design tool, something that had the accuracy of a Wacom digitiser is essential.
And about cooking a steak. You don't need to know how to farm just like you don't need to know how to fabricate a CPU or memory chip, but you need to know how to use the cooker, pans an utensils in order to perform the creative culinary part of cooking. Using an iPad is like knowing what seasoning to use.
Are the PCs all getting a bit old at your office? You're not alone
Re: Congratulations PC makers!
Back in the Mid '90s (around the time of the Pentium 90), I looked after some older IBM PS/2 Model 80s, which had 25MHz 386DX processors (they really were cutting edge at one time). I also had access to OS/2 running on various systems.
IIRC, there was a dancing animals (birds and monkeys) video shipped with OS/2 Warp that I managed to run on the PS/2s (AIX PS/2 with xanim ported, again IIRC). It was pretty low resolution, and the extension was .avi, although I don't know what the codec was (do I still have an OS/2 Warp install CD to find out - I must check), and these systems did not have sound cards, but they were running video. If they could do compressed video, I'm sure they would have been able to do MP3 audio.

NATCHITOCHES, LA. (KALB News Channel 5) – Natchitoches resident "sent home" from NBC talent program.
Round two of competition was the last for Natchitoches resident DeShawn Washington who won a spot on Team Shakira last month on NBC's hit talent show "The Voice".
Washington had to perform with team member Dani Moz during what the show calls "the battle round". Celebrity judge Shakira chose to keep Moz on her team, sending Washington home.
"I will never give up on my dream. Just because I'm off the show doesn't mean anything. God has other plans in store for me. I appreciate all of the love and support from my family and friends," Washington said.
Last month, Shakira chose Washington to be on her team after hearing his rendition of Sam Cooke's "Twistin' the Night Away", which is still available on iTunes for $1.29.
Washington, 23, is the son of Gwendolyn Ann and Siman Joe Washington and is a graduate of Natchitoches Central High School.

If you've shopped a store several times, you're likely to know the general location of different products. However, you can speed things up by spending a little extra time mapping out the store for an even more streamlined shopping trip!
Love to be organized, have toddlers tagging along, or are pressed for time? Having a layout of the store and its aisles will go a long way to speed the process. When you have a distraction-free half an hour, go to your local store and write down what products are in which aisle. It may be a bit tedious, but you'll soon know exactly where things are. When you're done, file the store layout list in a sheet protector at the back of your binder. Then, while making your shopping list each week, write down the aisle number by each product you'll be buying in order of location. You'll then be able to shop from one side of the store to another without backtracking.

17 thoughts on "Extreme Couponing Tip: Know Your Store Aisles"
I always organize my shopping list by like items and what order I take the aisles. It saves time and headaches when I forgot something that's on the opposite side of the supercenter! It also makes it a lot easier when ensuring you have the coupons for the items you are buying.
I shop with my twin toddlers so you know I've been using this method! I find I can get my shopping done much faster when I make my list in order by aisle. However, I have one idea to add: I wanted to make a list of which aisle had what, but I always have the twins with me, so here's what I did: just took my cell phone and snapped a picture of the sign over each aisle (you know, where it lists what is in that aisle). Then when I got home I was able to type it up and put it on my desk for future reference.
Awesome! I definitely know how shopping with toddlers goes, so anything to make things faster and easier is a plus
Customers frustrations is right I asked the manager at my local Kroger store when they would have all of the changes done and he said he didn't know. I told him that I wouldn't be back until I had heard that the changes were complete. I'm 70 years old and just can't be running all over the store looking for each item on my list. Many of the locations seem very illogical. It would have been funny seeing all of the people running around in disbelief and confussion, if it wasn't such a hardship for all of them.
Yes, sometimes waiting until remodeling to be complete is simply easier. Hopefully the changes will be done soon!
some stores even have maps were they tell you where things are i have maps of the two grocery stores i shop the most
Love it when they do that! It can really streamline shopping.
I shop the most at a Kroger because its closest to my house. I knew the store well by memory and would put my coupons and list in the right order. They just changed the layout over the past couple of weeks and it is driving me insane. I've even had to ask employees where to now find things.
I had the same thing happen to me! This happened a few months ago and they had flyers all around the store letting people know what was in each aisle. What was even more frustrating was that where some of the stuff was one day, wasn't in the same place the next week! I'm not really sure why they did it because some of the oddest things are together now. It didn't really seem like they gained anything other than customer frustration!!
I'm a cashier at Kroger and corporate is changing all Kroger stores to be the same on the inside. I work at the Kroger in Chester, Va (520) and after seeing the inside of the Willow Lawn Kroger and the plan for the new Cloverleaf and future Colonial Heights Kroger, it looks like there may still be a few small changes to each store.
I'm a cashier at Kroger in Chester, Va (520) and we just had the store changed around. Corporate is changing all the stores around to be the same. We printed off lists sorted alphabetically by item and had the aisle number by each item and put them on the stands with the sale ads and at the registers. Each employee was supposed to keep one in their pocket too. We had to update and reprint everyday, but it really helped us and the customers.
That's a great way to help the customers and the cashiers! One of my Kroger affiliates has a large sign hung up in the middle of the store from the ceiling that lists the item & its aisle– pretty nice!
It is frustrating when things are updated and I have to redo my maps– I know how that is!
I know a store's gotta do what a store's gotta do but personally I hate when they design it with aisles and aislettes all over the place. I like when it's designed with the aisles all in straight parallel rows. Makes shopping so much easier.
Me too Too bad they don't consult us couponers before building!
I found the Winco store layout on their website
That's really helpful!
