Hi, our version is 15.1.1.3286.

I accidently deleted 'guest' account and now I cannot use imis desktop to login, it complains: 

the application server version may not match the database version.

Browsing imis15 site also generates error:
Asi.Security.UserValidationException: Validation Failed

And idea how to fix this issue?

Thanks.

Wikipedia has a good series of reference articles on Windows 7 including:

• Comparison of the flavor editions, and
• Detailed list of removed features

Some of the removed features seem completely inexplicable.

October 29, 2009 is the 6th annual InnoTech Austin event, held at the Austin Convention Center. It's a one-day blast of talks, demonstrations, summits, and expo, which is a steal at $35.

With its focus on innovation, this conference is a handy barometer for business and technology trends. This year, there is new attention being paid to start-ups ("Austin Startup Row"), and the Beta Summit will present live demos of six of the hottest technologies being developed in Austin. The Software track this year is emphasizing social networking and cost-savings, and there are sessions on Windows 7 and Google Wave.

I came upon this site (http://gs.statcounter.com/) reading an article about Bing momentarily being ahead of Yahoo! search.  That was interesting enough, but when I checked their homepage, the statistic they lead with (and which apparently is of the most interest to visitors) is the browser share. They also have statistics on specific browser versions, operating systems, and mobile browsers.

Be aware -

Re. public & casual view iMIS15.0.3 - don't include a field with fieldname 'ID' field in your User-Defined Tables. Because if you do, and you make these fields available for update in public/casual view, then your clients (and their members) will get the following error on update: "The variable name '@ID' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure"

Best size

• Best: Capture the least amount of the screen needed for your demo. For example, a demo of a control panel should only capture the boundary of the control panel itself (in Wink, select Choose window).
• Good: Resize your display when capturing a whole desktop: 640x480 VGA, 800x600 SVGA, or 1024x768 XVGA, prevents scrolling for most users. This resolution switching is easily done using RDS tricks, because you don't have to mess up your own display settings.
• Poor: Don't resize a Full Screen desktop capture to make it fit in a browser: the screen details become blurred and hard to read.
• Worst: Don't capture your own desktop (Full Screen display): because Flash movies are viewed in browser, the demo would never fit, and your viewers would have to scroll around to see hidden parts of your demo.

Best way to capture

Wink has 3 modes of capturing:

Remote Desktop Sessions (RDS) in Windows (or Terminal Services in Linux) offer an easy way to control and standardize your Winks; it's now my preferred method for doing just about every Wink I create. The trick is to set the display size for your session to something smaller and tell Wink to record that:

• SVGA:  800x600 (classic aspect ratio)
• XVGA: 1024x768 (widescreen)

What do you gain by using RDS in smaller display sizes for your demos?

What are "screencasts?"

podcasts = serialized audio recordings of events, readings, and interviews and publishing them for subscribers to listen to on demand. This radically changes in how we can reach and help each other, a change that puts the listener in charge of when, where, and how she learns. vodcasts (videocasts) = combine sound and visuals for on-demand playback on computers and portable players. screencasts = special vodcasts that show only the computer screen of the person demoing.

Wink for Screencasting

Wink 2.0 (http://www.debugmode.com/wink/) is a full-featured tool for creating screencasts (movies of computer-based demos). What's so special about Wink is that it's freeware for personal and business use -- which is very rare! This means that everyone in the organization, and outside of it, can create screencasts for each other and for public/commercial distribution without worrying about licensing and registration. Learning Wink is a great way to master screencasting basics on your own. Even if you later switch to commercial tools (such as Camtasia or Captivate), the knowledge you've gained will transfer to the new tool.
