Free screen casts with Snow Leopard (Mac OSX)
It was once again amazed.
Through my search on the internet for a screen cast tool to record the actions on my screen. I quickly found out that I already have a really powerful tool already preinstalled on my Snow Leopard OS: “You can also catch the action on your screen with screen recording” Source (QuickTime X)
Just open up the Quick Time, go to the File menu and click on “New Screen Recording”.
And here we go, just start the record.

7 rules to work with highest performance in SQLite databases in Adobe AIR/Flex
This article shows 7 rules how to get out the most of your SQLite application in AIR:
- Create VO’s (value objects or classes) for each query extending a VO with contains at least the “ROWID”
- Always use SQLStatement.itemClass and to query for an object – it automatically casts the
- Use the “AS” alias in your SQL queries (e.g. SELECT count(name) AS “numberOfNames”) to fit it to your value object.
- Use SQLConnection.columnNameStyle = SQLColumnNameStyle.SHORT as possible.
- Try to avoid the same name in different tables (which has to be joined at one point)
- Use SQL transactions: Start with sqlConnection.begin(); continue with “INSERT INTO (‘firstName’) VALUES (‘:firstName’) and SQLStatement.parameters[':firstName'] = VOList[numberOfVO][firstName]; and end with SQLConnection.commit();
- If you want to get the current database Schema (‘SELECT * FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = “table”‘) open the database in read mode SQLConnection(_sqlFile, SQLMode.READ), load the Schema sqlConnection.loadSchema() and push SQLConnection.getSchemaResult() into an Array

Firefox Plugin: SqliteManager as Standalone app!
Do you also like Firefox and it’s powerful addons?
Are you also working with the powerful SQLiteManager (by Tarakant Tripathy, Mrinal Kant) addons?

Like a real application!
How it works?
- You need the XULRunner (an environment which can bootstrap XUL+XPCOM applications)
- You need the searched plugin as XULRunner application (SQLiteManager)
So check out:

17 employees participate in a survey over five year to work additionally with a high desk to increase the time of standing during the work and also to decrease the time of sitting, as the bad habit while writing. Through that period the health status and health behavior was observed.
The question on this study was:
- whether the stand-sit-dynamics is lived permanently
- if the satisfaction and welfare of employees will improve
The result was:
- up to 60% of those polled where satisfied to work on a standing desk
- 3% increased their productivity on a high level
- the overall job satisfaction got over 60%, for about 5% and substantiall
