Project ALTOGA
Areas and Modules of Management Software proposed by Altoga
Communication & General Support
In most cases, the
potential gains that can be obtained in organizations from the software
nowadays no longer pass through Traditional ERPs / Management
The highlights among the Modules we provide in this area are:
• M140 – Institutions and People
• M145 – Business Relationships / CRM
• M280 – Management of Proposals and Contracts
• M340 – Time Sheets Management
• M350 – Helpdesk / Web Support Service
• M500 – Notes, Subjects and Tasks
• M505 – Base of Document Management
• M510 – Office & Document Management
• M520 – Library / Titles Management
• M530 – Quality Management
• M535 – Evaluation of/by Third Parties
• M540 – Questionnaires and Surveys
• M550 – Balanced Scorecard
• M560 – Customized Dashboards
Human Resources Management
Human Capital is a critical asset of organizations, whose management has become increasingly demanding and complex.
This has recently turned into one of the areas that has most evolved in terms of application needs within the traditional support areas of organizations,
- whether with regard to its Administrative Management,
- or its Technical Management.
The Administrative Management must ensure the obligations with Employees and the State, particularly to comply with the Law.
The Technical Management must ensure the Organization of Work and the Development of Human Capital, particularly Competencies.
Our Modules are arranged into these 2 major areas, highlighting:
Administrative Management:
• M410 – Payroll System
• M420 – Record of Human Resources
• M421 – Time, Accesses and Schedules
• M422 – Monthly Inputs
• M423 – Travels / Allowances
• M424 – Reimbursement of Expenses
• M429 – Payroll Processing
• S409 – Processing Services
Technical Management:
• M430 – Jobs / Functions
• M440 – Recruitment
• M450 – Performance Evaluation
• M460 – Training Management
• M470 – Occupational Medicine
• M480 – HR Dashboards
• M490 – HR Employee Portal
• M491 – HR Management Portal
Financial Area Management
It is true that, in the long term, People and Knowledge are resources whose management may become more critical.
However, the management of the Financial Resources and their legal, fiscal and others obligations may jeopardize the survival of Organizations.
A matter of life or death, therefore.
Then it is essential to choose a good Management Software for this area.
The Software must be agile in real time, showing what is happening at all times and look forward, anticipating problems, threats and opportunities that may arise.
The simple yet effective way how this is achieved with the Altoga Solutions is what distinguishes us most.
The highlights among the Modules we offer in this area are:
• M200 – Management Accounting
• M210 – Business and Tax Documents
• M160 – Electronic and Certified Invoices / NFEs
• M230 – Budgeting Control
• M235 – Public Budgeting Control
• M240 – Treasury Management
• M245 - Checking Accounts and Collections
• M270 - Fixed Assets Management
Operational Area Management
The support of Management Software to the Operational Area of Organizations are very diverse and often requires specific technologies.
They have to be up to the Business / Sector in which the Organization operates.
The highlights among the Modules in this Area are Purchases, Consumption and Sales.
Also, the Modules Logistics and Projects / Works are essential to many Companies.
The Management of
Vehicles, Equipment, Real Estates and the Technical Management of Fixed
Assets usually meet the needs of Organizations that have this type of
For example, in terms of the intelligence of Modules automatic accounting reflexes. So it is advisable to implement them in an integrated manner.
Also crucial is the use of new technologies.
Thus our Modules implement the treatment of data through optical means (Bar Codes) or RFID, the use of Mobile Devices / PDAs / Tablets / Mobile Phones and even GPS tracking integrated with Google Maps.
The Modules in this Area, considering their more immediate affinities, are arranged in 3 major groups:
• M155 – Consumption / Stocks Management
• M150 - Purchases Management
• M160 - Sales / Billing Management
• M300 – Logistics
• M310 - Projects / Works Management
• M320 –Vehicles / Fleet Management
• M330 - Equipment Management
• M360 - Real Estates Management
• M270 - Technical Management of Fixed Assets in general
Sectorial Management Software
Our Management Software is very flexible and configurable and is therefore transversal and work in the most diverse organizations, sectors and countries.
However, we have developed specific sectorial solutions over time, including:
• Public Administration
• Auto Centers
• Logistics / Ports and Warehouses
• Associations, Asociates and Users
• Schools
These are sectors where the alliance between the specific know-how enclosed in our software and the extensive experience of our consultants in such key sectors can add much value to our Customers.
Business Intelligence, Management Dashboards and Balanced Scorecard
Our Management Software includes tools for Business Analysis, Decision Support and Management in general.
Includes the necessary facilities to the methodologies and procedures of Business Intelligence, Management Dashboards and Balanced Scorecard.
We have Web Servers for that specific purpose.
These Servers can be used not only by customers of our Software Management but also by those who have other ERPs.
Suffices to upload your data onto our servers and obtain thereby the dashboards you need for your business.
Of course if the data is from our modules, Dashboards can be obtained in a fully integrated way, since the constellation of Cloud Servers we have communicates directly with our Business Intelligence Servers.
Hybrid solutions of Dashboards with data from our Modules and from other applications are also possible.

Bad API design: a whirlwind tour of strong_parameters
Lately I have been doing time upgrading an application from Rails 3 to Rails 4. Obviously, one of the key parts of the operation in that case becomes a move from attribute protection (
attr_accessible'/attr_protected') to strong parameters. Doing so, I have actually struggled a great deal. And after a number of hours spent on reflecting on the whole ordeal I came to the conclusion that it was not entirely my fault, and not even a problem with how the previous state of the application was when the migration had to be done.
The problem is strong_parameters itself. See, when you design an API, you usually assume a number of use cases, and then streamline the workflow for those specific use cases to the best of your ability. When situations arise where your API does not perform satisfactorily, you basically have two choices:
- Press on and state that these situations are not covered by your API
- Re-engineer the API to accomodate the new requirements
When designing strong_parameters, the Rails gang apparently went for the first approach. Except that since stating that "you are on your own" is not often encouraged as a message to developers-customers, it has been pretty much been swept under the rug. As a result, strong_parameters have been released (and codified as The solution to input validation) without (in my opinion) due thought process.
Since I was finally able to wrestle through it, behind all the frustrations I could actually see why strong_parameters did not work. It did not work because it is a badly designed API. And I would like to take some time to walk through it, in hopes that it can reveal what could have been done better, differently, or maybe even not at all.
So, let's run through it.
It is both a Builder and a Gatekeeper
By far the biggest issue with the API is this. It is both something we Rubyists tend to call a builder, and something we tend to call a gatekeeper - this is more of my personal moniker. Let's explain these two roles:
- A Builder allows you to construct an arbitrarily-nested expression tree that is going to be used to perform some operation.
- A Gatekeeper performs checks on values and creates early (and clear) failures when the input does not satisfy a condition.
For example, Arel is a good citizen of the Builders camp. A basic Arel operation is strictly separated into two phases - building the SQL expression out of chainable calls and converting the expression into raw SQL, or into a prepared query. Observe:
where(age: 19).where(gender: 'M').where(paying: true).to_sql
You can immediately see that the buildout part of the expression (the
where() calls) and the execution (
to_sql) are separated. The
to_sql call is the last one in the chain, and we know that it won't get materialized before we have specified all the various conditions that the SQL statement has to contain. We can also let other methods collaborate on the creation of the SQL statement by chaining onto our last call and grabbing the return value of the chain.
XML Builder is another old friend from the Builders camp, probably the oldest of the pack. Here we can see the same pattern
b.payload do
b.age 18
b.name 'John Doe'
b.bio 'Born and raised in Tennessee'
b._target # Returns the output
The obtaining of the result (the output of the Builder) is a definitely separate operation from the calls to the Builder proper. Even though calls to the Builder might have side effects when it outputs at-call-time, we know that it is not going to terminate early because the output object it uses is orthogonal to the Builder itself.
Strong parameters violate this convention brutally. The guides specify that you have to do this:
parameters.permit(:operation, :user => [:age, :name])
If you have strict strong parameters enabled - and this is the recommended approach since otherwise parameters you did not specify will simply get silently ditched - if you have even one single key besides
:operation and
:user at the top level, you will get an exception. If you supply a parameter that is not expected within
:user - the same. The raise will occur at the very first call to
permit or
require. This means that the "Gatekeeper" function of strong_parameters is happening within the Builder function, and you do not really know where the Builder part will be aborted and the Gatekeeper part will take over.
Since we are so dead-set on validating the input outright, at the earliest possible opportunity, this mandates an API where you have to cram all of your permitted parameters into one method call. This produces monstrosities like thos:
paid_subscription_attributes: [
{company_information_attributes: [:name, :street_and_number, :city, :zipcode, :country_code, :vat_number]},
Those monstrosities are necessary because applications designed with use of nested attributes, and especially applications designed along the Rails Way of pre-rendered forms, will have complicated forms with nested values. And those forms are very hard to change, because they are usually surrounded by a whole mountain of hard-won CSS full of hacks, and have a very complex HTML structure to ensure they layout properly.
In practice, if we were to take the call above and "transform" it so that it becomes digestible, we would like to first specify all the various restrictions on the parameters, and then check for whether the input satisfies our constraint - divorce the "Builder" from the "Gatekeeper". For instance, like this:
user_params = params.require(:user)
user_params.permit(:email, :password, :password_confirm, :full_name, :remember_me, :profile_image_setting)
paid_subscription_params = user_params.within(:paid_subscription_attributes)
paid_subscription_params.permit(:terms_of_service, :coupon_code, :company_information_attributes)
company_params = paid_subscription_attributes.within(:company_information_attributes)
company_params.permit(:name, :street_and_number, :city, :zipcode, :country_code, :vat_number)
user_params.to_permitted_hash # The actual checks will run here
This way, if we do have a complex parameter structure, we can chain the calls to permit various attributes and do not have to cram al of them into one call.More on this...
On a small team, not being dicks sometimes trumps efficiency
There is an inherent difficulty to maintaining velocity. We always want things more streamlined, more efficient, more lean - sky is the limit, really, if the technical realm of a product is not micromanaged by the higher echelons of the company management, but is upgraded by grassroots effort. A good team of engineers worth their salt will, as wel know, improve and clean the product of must of technical debt - all a good manager has to do, really, is not to impede that process.

There is an inherent concern however, which becomes especially important when the teams are small. Sometimes, velocity and efficiency need to be sacrificed a little if the team wants to preserve equilibrium in human relationships.More on this...
The sad state of human arrogance today
Lately an article has been making rounds on HackerNews where eevee laments on his tribulations when installing Discourse.
I've read it cover to cover, and I must admit it did strike a few notes with me, especially because I write Ruby web apps for a good decade now, with Rails and without. Most of the points named in this article are valid to some extent, but I profoundly disagree with the overall tone and the message.
First let's look at the narrative:
- Ruby is not a primary language eevee is faimilar with (he's primarily a Python/Rust guy from what I could see - because I have been reading his other articles just a few days prior).
- He does not have a lot of experience deploying a modern Ruby stack in production for web apps
- Through his experience with Python he probably misses the fact that the Python deployment story is probably just as painful as Ruby's at this point. Moreover, some horrible relics of Ruby packaging (gemsets) still exist at large in the Python world (virtualenv).
- He picked a project which is explicitly pushing the envelope in it's usage of fancy tools, and thus indeed wants to have it's mother and the kitchen sink for dependencies. This is not because you need fancy tools, but because for a modern web app you do need search, you do need a job queue, you do need push messaging.
- Exactly because the developers of Discourse (whom I admire greatly) realise that the dependency story in Discourse is effin hard they suggest, loudly and clearly, to deploy it via images or containers. Eevee chose to use neither of these approaches, but facing the consequences of this decision proved to be a world of pain (exactly as predicted).
- He has a complex Linux configuration, which to me (from my uneducated perspective at least) looks like a Linux build that has been accrued over the years with all sorts of manual tweaks (90% of them probably having to do with X11 and sound of course), and migrated over and over - as a result of which you indeed end up with a 32 bit runtime on top of a 64 bit kernel. This, for tools that assume a default configuration for most of situations, is a recipe for butthurt.
- He also had to use a PostgreSQL extension, which does not ship as a default part of the package.
Instead of raising my hands in violent agreement with him, or rebutting his post point by point, I would like to look at the actual reasons why this stuff happens.More on this...
Quitting VFX, one year on
So that might be a surprize to some people reading this – if someone still reads this blog at all. But around Christmas 2013 I have decided that I had enough. Enough of the being pleasant. Enough of the wonderful Aeron chairs and enough of the Flame. I was just sick to my stomach.
Throughout my life I have been one of those blessed few who never had to work at a place they hated. An essential benchmark of the quality of life for me is that I wake up in the morning and feel like going to work. When that feeling is gone, and the fact of going to work becomes dreadful instead -- that is the clearest indicator for me that it is time to move on.
This in fact turns a major page in my life. I have dedicated 9 years of it to the Flame, just
like I wanted to. I have seen the demise of the SGI Tezros (I will forever
remember what
$hinv stands for and what the Vulcan Death Grip is). I have done some great
compositing work, from set extensions to beauty to morphing. I have worked with some of the greatest,
most wonderful art directors in Amsterdam – it did turn out that most of them have grey hair, a beard,
a belly and an impeccable sense of humor - and, first and foremost, artistic vision.
I worked at an amazing company which gave me so much I will be forever grateful. Of course there were ups and downs, but I was incredibly lucky when I stumbled into it by accident in my search for an internship.
I have enjoyed some very interesting projects, mastered Shake and Nuke, became one of the best matchmovers in town. Have beta-tested new versions of Flame and had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful, predominantly-Francophone team of it's makers. I've met a mentor who transformed me from a rookie into a good all-around Flame op. I got pretty much everything I wanted.
For a month I even lived at the office, when the situation with my landlady became unbearable. I worked my year as the night shift Flame operator - so that chevron is earned too.
The logical next step would be London. The problem with that is - I was not prepared to dump my residence status in the EU just for the privilege of working on the next fab rendition of Transformers IX. You see, most people in Western countries are equal, but people with less fortunate passports are somewhat less equal than others. So if I were to move on to the UK it would mean a new alien status, a new residence permit, a new work permit, and all the other pleasures such moves entail.
Also I got tired of client work and all of it's facets that tend to drive you to exhaustion. It was extremely challenging and very rewarding for me - especially me being an overall introvert that I always was - but at a certain point I've started losing the grip. The guy that once was Julik started to become some other person. Some other person that I didn't like seeing in the mirror when I brushed my teeth. Some person that had to develop reactions to the outside stimuli that I did not condone. In short - the beautiful honeypot I was so eager to devour started to consume me.
So after having dedicated 9 years to visual effects and Flame, it was time to turn the page. Since I was developing pretty much all those 10 years (I started about a year prior to this blog being first put online) becoming a Ruby developer seemed par for the course. I love programming, I love Ruby, and I've made some great stuff using it. Tracksperanto has become the de-facto go-to piece of kit for many, and even though I never got code contributions for it – most of the post bunch speaks Python only – I was able to maintain it with excellent longevity and it saved many a matchmove project, both for myself and for many others.
Work/life balance
This has more to do with company culture, but in the past years I've learned that when you process yourself into a skewed work/life balance you have to understand the benefits and the costs. Essentially, when doing all-nighters, participating in sprints, crunch times, enabling your mobile phone at night - think very well what you are giving up, who benefits from it and whether the compensation is adequate. Overtime is not free - you are paying for it with your health, with your family life, with your friendships and love and care and affection. Being on call is not free.
You absolutely should do it when doing the work you love - but consider whether what you are getting for it. When in doubt, re-read Loyalty and Layoffs.
The game here is detecting when the overages and pressures stop being of benefit to you, and only stay beneficial to your employer or client. It is an extremely fine line, and most good managers are good at masking it from view. It took me a full 15 years of working in different roles to get the feeling for when enough is enough, and even at that I had to switch careers to restore the balance.
Don't think that development is foreign to crunchtime (read some jwz if in doubt) but it is highly likely that you will be confronted with it sooner in a VFX career. Remember - how much of it you will take, and what for - is your decision. Nobody - not your employer, not your manager, not your parents - are responsible for the decisions you make about it.More on this...
Matchmover tip: obtaining the actual field of view for any lens using a survey solve
The best camera is the one that's with you Henri Cartier-Bresson
For a long time we have used a great technique at HecticElectric for computing the lens field of view (FOV) values. When you go to film something, you usually record the millimeter values of the focal length of the lenses you use (or "whereabouts" if using zooms instead of primes). This approach, however, is prone to error - because 3D software thinks in terms of abstract field of view angle, not in terms of the combination of the particular focal length + particular sensor/film size.
So we devised a scheme to reliably compute the field of view from shots of specifically chosen and prepped objects, that we call shoeboxes. This yields very accurate FOV values for any lens (including zooms at specific settings) and can be used with any camera/lens combination, including an iPhone.More on this...
Building Nuke plugins on the Mac, Christmas 2014 edition
Building Nuke plugins on the Mac, Christmas 2014 edition
As 2014 is folding to a fanfare close, we here at julik live would like to take you, dear reader, to 2009. To recap what happened in 2009:
- The Icelandic government and banking system collapse
- Albania and Croatia are admitted to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
- The Treaty of Lisbon comes into force.
- Large Hadron Collider gets reactivated.
- Apple Computer Inc. releases OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard
That last fact is of uttermost importance for us. We are going to time-travel to 2009 to see how life is like in a world where everybody uses systems so old they cannot be obtained legally. To the world of high-end VFX software.
See, I made a Nuke plugin back in the day. Because I really wanted to and I needed it. As faith would have it, I also really wanted to share it because it could be useful for many other VFX artists using SynthEyes -- which I still consider the greatest, fastest and the most affordable 3D tracking package ever.
However that plugin development thing puts me way out of my comfort zone. See, this is C++ we are talking about - but if only. We are also smack in the middle of the DLL hell because, as you might imagine, a plugin for someone else's software is a DLL that you have to build (or a .dylib, or a .so - a shared library for short). Now, 5 years have passed and I somehow managed to maintain a build pipeline for the plugins intact - for quite a long while for example I specifically delayed upgrading from 10.5 just to avoid everything that is related to this dependency hell. Dependency hell in the world of building shared libraries for closed-source hosts is defined as:
- you have to build against system library versions that have the same ABI and same versions
- you have to build with exactly the same compiler
- you have to build against system headers that match the libraries
- you have to build with non-system libraries that match the system libraries. Fancy some boost perhaps? Or some fancy OpenEXR library? Or some image compression libraries? If you do, we need to talk. Trust me, afte going through this ordeal a few times you will reconsider their use and appreciate the zen of doing without.
- you (mostly) have to build with non-system libraries that match the versions used by your host application
That leads to an interesting development cycle. At the beginning of that process, if you are lucky and starting early, you will have a machine that carries somewhat-matching dependency versions for all of the above (or the dependency versions are obtainable). At the beginning you will invariably struggle with obtaining and installing all that stuff since it by definition is going to be obsolete already, but that is mostly manageable. I remember that I didn't have to install anything special back when I was building on 10.5 at the beginning of SyLens' lifetime.More on this...
Why I am still using Jeweler
Rolling Ruby gems is an artistic affair. Fashions change. Sometime ago it was considered fine to edit your
gemspec.rb by hand.
Somewhat later a trend of using Hoe emerged. A little while later Bundler came into
the picture, and it had a command as well to generate gems. Wind a few more years - and the fashion is now to roll with
gem new.
The funny thing about it is that multiple people tend to jump on it and migrate their projects from one gem setup/maintenance system to another. It is just like with haute-couture or testing frameworks -- it is cool as long as you are using the latest one in fashion at the moment. Get distracted for just a couple of months - and you are no longer the fashion club, but a retrograde old bureaucrat stuck in his old ways of doing things.
However, not many people focus on what is way more important in the story of making Ruby gems and makine them actually shine - the stability. Let's go to an example. With my modest portfolio I clock over 20 gems in my decade of doing Ruby for fun and profit. Repeatability is way more important for me in this process than any fashions currently being flung around. In my view, for me as a maintainer of a whole salvo of gems, I need to have a few very simple conditions that are met by whatever tool I use for rolling gems:
- There should be a command I can easily memorise to initialise a blank slate gem, and it should have the right setup in place.
- All tests/specs for the gem should run with
$bundle exec rake, no exceptions.
- I should be able to do a release, including tagging and pushing it to the gem server, with
$bundle exec rake release
- I should not have to edit any files except of the changelog/version to roll such a release. Simple git history /
gitignoreis sufficient.
- The gem set up with that tool of choice has to be runnable by Travis, and for most of my gems I still support Ruby 1.8.7
Having this process helps me by reducing the friction to release gems. When I want to release a library, absolutely the last thing I want to be
worried about is how to streamline the workflow of doing those things. Simply because if I do, each new gem that I release or update is going to
obtain a release process of it's own - it's just like building plugins for expensive post-production applications all over again. Every new version you roll, for any new version of it's dependencies, becomes a unique snowflake - one has a
Gemfile, another one is managed by a manual
gemspec.rb, yet another one assembles itself from
git... and it goes on and on until you have to actually check what kind of release pipeline du jour
has been in effect when you were last twiddling with a certain gem.
The longevity of many of my projects - tracksperanto is no exception with a running history of regular updates over it's 5 year existence - also owes to a stable release pipeline.
I've only went through the changes in the gem release pipeline twice. First switch was from manual
gemspec.rb editing and a hodgepodge of Rake tasks
to Hoe. The second was from Hoe to Jeweler, because I was unable to make Hoe function on Travis with the vast array of Ruby versions I wanted and because I got fed up with the manual
MANIFEST file, where I always forgot to add a file or two.
So far Jeweler, with all of it's possible problems and limitations and an extra dependency, given me the most precious thing in the gem
release/maintenance process - and that is that I don't have to think about that process. For any single gem that I maintain, I know that
brake followed by
brake release is going to do the update I am after - and I can concentrate on the code that my library is offering instead of the fashions
of the build pipeline.
That is way more important, and way more precious to me than knowing that I am following the latest trend in a volatile universe of open-source. I am ready to pay the price of being called old-fashioned and having extra 10 lines in my Rakefile, along with a dependency practically none of my users will even download. By corollary, it means that your pull request to my projects proposing to remove Jeweler and go about some more bikeshedding is likely to be rejected. Not because I am a jerk, but because it supports a repeatable process I have developed muscle memory for, and changing that muscle memory is the last item on my priority list.
And I suggest you, dear reader, to do the same - pick a rubygem release/bootstrapping process that works for you, verify it, trust it and stick to it, instead of joining the bikeshedding fest - whatever that process might be. What your actual gem does is way more important than what you are using to roll it.
On the benefit of laptop stands
When you look at pictures from trendy startup offices you often see laptop riser stands.
One might think that you would do that to make your desk look neater. Or that it is for better posture. Or just to have yet another neat Apple-y looking apparatus in your vicinity for more hipster look. However, there is a benefit to laptop riser stands that some do not quite see upfront.
However, there's more to it than meets the eye.More on this...
Checking the real HTTP headers with curl
curl, the seminal swiss army knife of HTTP requests, is quite good at many things. Practically everybody knows that you can show headers using the
-I flag:
$curl -I http://example.com/req
However, this is plain wrong in a subtle way. See,
I sends a
request, which is sometimes used to probe the server for the last
modification date and such. However, most of the time you want to check
a real
GET as opposed to a
HEAD. Also, not all web frameworks will automatically implement a
HEAD responder for you in addition to a
GET responder. It's also downright misleading because with quite a few proxies the headers you are going to be getting from the server will be different for a
GET as opposed to a
To perform a "real" GET, hit
curl with a lowercase
i as opposed to upprecase.
$curl -i http://logik-matchbook.org/shader/Colourmatrix.png
However, this will pollute your terminal with horrible binary-encoded strings (which is normal for a PNG after all)... There are ways to do a full GET and only show a header, the easiest being doing this:
$curl -s -D - http://logik-matchbook.org/shader/Colourmatrix.png -o /dev/null
Works a treat but is long and not memorizable. I put it in my
.profile as
alias headercheck='curl -s -D - $1 -o /dev/null'
So anytime you want to check headers with a real
GET request, hit:
$headercheck http://url.that/you-want-to-check
and you are off to the races.
OWC Data Doubler caveat with 10.9 Mavericks
Shoved a spanky Samsung SSD into my MBP using a Data Doubler from OWC - easy to confuse with the DiskDoubler of yore, by the way.
So, pried open the laptop, put in the SSD into the doubler plate, screwed everything back in. Turns out due to somewhat inferior SATA port on my particular MacBook Pro model the disk would never work properly in the first place. The Mavericks installer just stopped with the "Installation failed" message, leaving the partition for DiskUtility to repair.
The fix is surprisingly head-on. Apparently the SATA port used by the optical drive is not so good after all, you got to have your 6G SSD on your primary SATA, where the old hard drive is. Just swap the old HD with the new SSD, so that you have a SATA 3G device in your doubler plate, on the not-so-good SATA port destined for the optical drive.
So off goes the lid again, the SSD and the old hard drive swap places and the Mavericks install then proceeded as it should, rewarding me with a pristine desktop.
SSD bliss.

Parents and grandparents today called on the board of directors of Alabama's prepaid college tuition program to find a way to honor promises made in the contracts the families purchased -- many of which purported to guarantee that tuition would be paid.
Several in the crowd of about 300 also criticized the seven board members who didn't attend the hearing. Four members of the 10-member board are in attendance, and two others sent representatives on their behalf.
"This is too big and too important for all of the board members not to be here," Birmingham's Dale Goode, who has three of the contracts, said to applause.
The trust fund backing the prepaid tuition program has lost about 46 percent of its value in a year and a half, and its assets now are sufficient to meet only about half its obligations. State Treasurer Kay Ivey told those attending today's public hearing in Montgomery that the state is committed to working toward a solution.

Not so fast with the off-season. There is a Memphis post-season after all.
And the Grizz found it Thursday like a light at the end of a long-tunnel where a lot of people slipped and fell and can't get up.The light was Houston flaming out at home to Phoenix without the Grizzlies having to make a basket.It's all about the math. Stay in school, young people.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The House voted Thursday to repeal the federal tax on estates, a politically volatile issue that affects few inheritances.
Republicans refer to it as the "death tax." They say it prevents small business owners and family farmers from passing businesses on to their heirs.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is pushing Congress to simplify federal business taxes after Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Democrats and Republicans are too far apart to agree on sweeping changes to taxes paid by individuals and families.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Internal Revenue Service commissioner said Friday the agency will not share with Congress additional details about its lost emails related to the ongoing tea party investigation until its own review is finished because he said Republicans are releasing inaccurate, interim information.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday that the U.S. economy is improving but noted that the job market remains "far from satisfactory" and inflation is still below the Fed's target rate.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama's top economists say the nation is on track to make economic progress over the next two years, but say it would do even better if Congress would enact the additional spending he proposed in his most recent budget. A divided Congress in an election year is not likely to heed that call.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The GOP-controlled House unveiled slashing cuts to the budget of the Internal Revenue Service on Tuesday, punishing the beleaguered agency after it targeted tea party groups and other nonprofits seeking tax-exempt status.
WASHINGTON (AP) – House-Senate negotiations on extending jobless benefits and a two percentage point cut in the payroll tax remained stalled Thursday, despite a proposal in which Democrats urged a modest six-week cut in the maximum time unemployed workers can receive jobless benefits.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The prospects for an extension of President Barack Obama's signature payroll tax cut, once considered a slam dunk on Capitol Hill, now seem far less certain as House-Senate talks have deadlocked over finding ways to pay for it.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The American job market improved modestly in October, and economists looking deeper into the numbers found real reasons for optimism – or at least what counts for optimism in this agonizingly slow economic recovery.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Unemployment remains stubbornly high at just over 9 percent, but it's the alarming number of long-term jobless that is causing fresh concern for Democratic lawmakers.
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday the government's $700 billion bailout program will end "as soon as we can," and that part of it will be used to lower the soaring federal debt.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawmakers pressed the Obama administration on Thursday to better track how financial institutions are using the government's financial bailout money, a step the Treasury Department has resisted despite demands from a federal watchdog agency.

the comfort of the room was the best part
It was comfortable & would love to come during summer due to the play ground and pool
Basically everything. Friendly and helpfull staff, nice room and bed, and the bathroom was excellent. Breakfast was served in the garden, which I really enjoyed.
The room was very comfy. Nice decor, and fluffy towels/bathrobes. Beautiful shower room. Huge comfortable bed. Parking at side of the hotel. Beautiful grounds with a little brook at the end of the garden. Very peaceful and very beautiful.
The price was too much considering the lack of facilities. No restaurant; no tea/coffee making facilities. Hotel shut up at around 6pm and there was nothing available within the hotel so you have to go out to eat. Breakfast was nice but at 18/19 euro, so it should be. When breakfast was mentioned, they failed to state the price, which I felt was deliberate..
This is basic accomodation at a basic price. That said everything is done to a good standard, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The menu has some variety and it is unpretentious, also there is a reasonable selection of beers with a very helpful barman.
Friendly family-run relaxed atmosphere, pleasant woodland location, availability of food until 23:00, quiet, clean, reasonably comfortable. Current hotel expansion work was not disruptive to guests.
Decor is a little quirky and gave our room a bit of a built-to-budget feel. However everything was solid and worked fine.
It had available rooms on the night in question - friendly welcoming staff - comfy beds
No Bar - No WiFi as advertised - very remote
quite place, good food
Proximity to main road. We were driving from Dunkerque to Fehmarn Island. Very good restaurant.
On site parking, easy walking distance to town centre, pleasent helpful staff.
Slow to check out, still has a "work in progess" feel about the hotel.
Extremely helpful, friendly staff. Clean, comfortable room with good heating, nice decor, loved the painted window into the bathroom (but not for the modest!), tea/coffee facilities, reasonably priced minibar, lovely breakfast.
Lots of space in the room; good bed; very quiet outside; nice park to take a walk.
internet access only in main building, not in the room; hotel invoice not correct and I forgot to check it.
We liked the location and the fact that it had once been a monastery.The grounds were very peaceful and contained some beautiful trees.
there did not appear to be a way to lock the outer door of the building we were in.
A very clean comfortable, quiet hotel.
It is only a wine bar and the food offerings are limited for the remote nature of the hotel
Really like this hotel, one of my favourites on my business travels. Calming decor and a good restaurant (although shut on Mondays). Only a small hotel but very nice.
Restaurant shut Mondays, nothing else
the delivery lorries unloading under our window at 2.00am.
It is located in a very nice enviroment. Very nice place for families with children.
Room is not nice, the bathroom smelled bad.
Warm welcome, all hotel faclities were well explained, clean good sized bedroom, staff were very friendly and helpful
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Childhay Manor Chicken Farm is located in Beaminster, a small town situated in West Dorset at the head of the River Brit Valley. This location is deep in the Dorset countryside and provides a tranquil and very natural environment for farming free range chickens. Farmer's Choice has partnered with Childhay Manor Farm to provide our customers with succulent, free range chicken sourced from a hybrid strain, born and raised slowly in the Dorset countryside. These chickens are chosen specifically keeping our customers in mind, as they are a slow growing breed and are given enough time to enjoy their lives; living naturally in the outside environment that the farm provides them with. The Childhay chickens are fed only on natural and healthy feed that helps them to grow at an organic speed and means that the chicken meat tastes that much better.
Childhay Manor Farm also provides Farmer's Choice with our delicious duck meat. The Peking X Aylesbury breed free range ducks are, just like the chickens, reared outside under totally natural settings and fed on GM-free feed to make sure they live the most natural life possible. By working closely with free range farms, such as Childhay Manor, and providing our customers with information on how our animals are raised, all our meat can be traceable. This means every meat eater can be sure of exactly where their free range food is coming from and know that the animals will have lived a good life under free range conditions. Read on to know more about the Childhay Manor chickens and ducks.

Received two of these clip on Polarized sunglasses today. They are a perfect fit for both pairs of my glasses. Several national firms of Opticians were unable to provide me with clip o Amsterdam great western ralph lauren glasses ce? Anyway, once you get them on you're unlikely to want to hide them away. Yes, as another reviewer commented, they arrive in a padded bag - again, who cares? If this weren't sufficient to get them to your door in one piece, it's likely at least one of the pairs I've ordered so far would have been damaged but all have arrived promptly and in perfect condition. A high end outdoor retailer had some ˇę80+ sunglasses in its sale recently. I sent off for a pair to try them - which Atlanta magnetic sunglasses meaning of www in hindi .
lasses case. I cycle a lot so throw them in the rucksack. Now I dont have to worry about them getting squashed as this case is tough!
I dont mind the large size, just as long as it does the job. I also rather like the 'distressed' look of the metal.
I need to record sound from time to time and for years lugged around an open reel Nagra, long after it had dropped out of sight in normal use.

They filter out UVA & UVB so protect baby's eyes. The premium version of the glasses have the extra comfort of silicone on the nose band. They fit really well & baby does not seem to be too bothered about wearing them.
Our 16mth old son wore these on our holiday all week. Usually he will pull sunglasses off. I thought he may get cross not being able to take them off, but after the 2nd attempt wearing them he seemed super happy. Dont get the babyBanz for a boy of 1yr or older as they will b designer sunglass er dark lens are well worth a purchase,
not only are they reasonably priced, but offer effective UVA protection and look quite stylish too.
This product is ideal for anyone who appreciates high quality sunglasses at a good price!
I give this seller my 5 star rating. Excellent service too.
After recently losing a pair of sunglasses, I decided to see what Amazon had to offer, and sent off for a pair of Wayfarer Style sunglasses with dark lenses.
They arrived really qui.

For Ramp Agents, hourly average wages total $11.08 per hour. The income range spans the entire spectrum between $8.78 per hour and $20.07. Compensation for this group is mainly affected by experience level, but the particular city and the individual firm are influential factors as well. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. Health benefits are not claimed by all — slightly less than a third lack any form of coverage — but a majority have medical insurance, and more than half have dental, too. The vast majority of Ramp Agents (85 percent) who took the survey are men. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

A ramp agent is primarily responsible for handling aircraft baggage, as well as loading and unloading luggage onto an airplane and guiding aircraft to and from their gates. While this person is sometimes referred to as a "baggage handler," the responsibilities and duties certainly extend beyond luggage. A ramp agent is generally required to have a high school diploma (or equivalent), and advanced degrees are not necessarily required. This person must typically be over the age of eighteen and able to lift heavy items.Read More...
Naturally, a ramp agent is employed at an airport and will work within a team of other ramp agents. The hours can vary, as this is truly a 24-hour/day position. Work is done both inside and outside the airport, and each agent also goes through a background security screening.
A ramp agent may either be an employee of the airport itself or work directly for an airline or vendor. There is a variety of duties and responsibilities associated with this position, including: guiding planes in and out of gates; ground servicing of aircraft; loading and unloading baggage; operation of baggage loader belts; operation of diesel tractors; operation of baggage carts; de-icing fluids on aircraft; and lifting baggage over 70lbs. A ramp agent must be able to work in extreme conditions as well as small spaces - this person is, ideally, in excellent physical condition.
This position generally requires a person who is able to handle a fast-paced and sometimes-stressful environment with quick and urgent deadlines; a ramp agent should also be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with team members and supervisors alike.
Leading companies who hire large numbers of Ramp Agents include Delta Air Lines Inc, Southwest Airlines Co, United Airlines, Inc., Delta Global Services, and American Airlines. Ramp Agents flock to Delta Air Lines Inc for generous paychecks, where average earnings of $41K lead the pack in compensation; however, Delta Air Lines Inc also provides employees with a wide spectrum of compensation ranging from $21K at one end to $47K at the other end.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience seems to be a major factor in determining the incomes of Ramp Agents. Average salaries for inexperienced employees average out to around $23K, but folks who have five to 10 years of experience earn a higher median of $29K. On average, Ramp Agents make $44K following one to two decades on the job. Ramp Agents with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $45K.

Members of the Leicestershire and Rutland Ornithological Society wanting to boost breeding numbers of the Common Tern created two rafts for the declining species of birds made from recycled plastics that were meant to be a more durable habitat, given wood's propensity to rot, according to Birdwatch News [1]. So far, the rafts have been successful, with eight pairs of Common Terns rearing 10 chicks.
