The advertising was created by the New York office of Euro RSCG Worldwide, a unit of Havas, for the American Association of Blood Banks, America's Blood Centers and the American Red Cross, in conjunction with the Advertising Council.
The tagline for all ads is the same: "Saving the world isn't easy. Saving a life is. Just one pint of blood can save up to three lives."
Each ad also contains the words, "Give blood," with a stylized picture of a bandage with a pinprick of blood, plus the web address, bloodsaves.com, a site set up for the organizations' recruitment program. (By JANE L. LEVERE)

One of many general resolutions
Don't deal with crap, unless it's imperative. Most of the time, even if it looks that way, it is not.
This includes crap per se, crap from other people and crap that one tends to produce as one goes along. And especially old, by-gone crap. Never dig it up.

Follow thy path (and my advice) and you shall live a long and prosperous life, my friend.

Rammstein: Engel
Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden
wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden
den Blick 'gen Himmel fragst du dann
warum man sie nicht sehen kann
erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Sie leben hinterm Horizont
getrennt von uns unendlich weit
sie muessen sich an Sterne krallen (ganz fest)
damit sie nicht vom Himmel fallen
erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
Translation: Angel
Who in their lifetime is good on Earth
will become an angel after death
you look to Heaven and ask
why you can not see them
Only when the clouds have gone to sleep
can you see us in Heaven
we are afraid and are alone
God knows I don't want to be an angel
They live behind the sunshine
separate from us an infinite distance
they must kling to the stars
so that they do not fall from Heaven
Only when the clouds have gone to sleep
can you see us in Heaven
we are afraid and are alone
God knows I don't want to be an angel
Only when the clouds have gone to sleep
can you see us in Heaven
we are afraid and are alone
God knows I don't want to be an angel

Boxes and Arrows Update
by Dan Willis
I’ve heard of a fantastic land far, far away where magical people called “project managers” collect something called “requirements.” These requirements so clearly, concisely, and completely describe work to be done that all the villagers involved share a common understanding of a project’s goals.

Križi in težave programerskih nadobudnežev
Tole zgoraj mi je poslala Vesna, sodelavka na Mibi marketingu, nekega lepega dne, ko sem (spet) nekaj zrihtal na njenem čarunalniku. Ne vem, kaj je bilo, a gotovo je bilo pomembno in temu torej pritiče hvala :)
Kakorkoli, razlog za tale post je, da the empire strikes back!
Namreč, pri razvoju ene spletne strani v sužbli, kakor bi rekla prijateljica Mateja, sem naletel na zanimiv problem: skrbno sprogramirana ASP skripta je vztrajno vračala
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
Ha! Kot ve vsak izkušen programer, je temu ponavadi vzrok šlamparija - pozabil nastaviti Write pravice (oz. attrib -r) na db folderju, znotraj katerega je baza. Tokrat ni bilo tako. Že prejšnji teden sem pri drugem projektu naletel na podobno težavo in ugotovil, da se folder permissions oz. konkretno Read-only ne da spremenit. Greš na folder, right-click, ododkljukaš Read-only, Apply, Ok, ponovno pogledaš in - zadeva je Read-only!
Prva misel je seveda kakšen trojanček, a toliko zaupanja v NAV(03!) pa že premorem, da se mi zdi hudooo čudno... Seveda lahko dodam, da je bila rešitev, ki jo je ponudil Microsoftov Help popolnoma neuporabna - neke spremembe registra ipd. itak ni delalo, ko sem poskusil. On to Google! Ki po nekaj fine-tuninga keywordov med drugim izpljune arhiviran thread na forumu od uporabnega in že poznanega sajta DevArticles (http://forums.devarticles.com/):
Permissions are not handled through IIS. They are handled by the OS. So, open up windows explorer, find the DB file, right click, ensure that the file's attributes are not set to read only. Then click the Security tab. Assign the IUSR_YourMachineName user full permissions.IUSR_YourMachineName is the username which IIS operates as. Keep this in mind for any future problems, as you'll often need to setup it's permission on folders/files, esp. if you do any file uploading projects.
No problemo, torej. Še drugje zvem, da je to pač fora WinXPjev, ki je do zdaj nisem opazil... doma očitno s tem nisem imel težav, v službi pa smo prešli na OknaXP pred kake pol leta in vmes so padali sajti v PHPju in razne druge zadeve, tako da se očitno s tem nisem srečal. Možno je tudi, da je read-only-manijo povzročil kakšen od redno inštaliravanih updateov.
A tu zgodbe še ni konec. Ko hočem izvesti zgoraj opisani postopek, ugotovim, da moji properties ne premore taba security... damn. Posumim, da je to pač še ena kvazi-user-friendly omejitev za inexperienced users, ki jih v Oknih mrgoli. Na istem threadu najdem tole:
To turn Simple File Sharing on or off in Windows XP Professional: Double-click My Computer on the desktop.On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.Click the View tab, and then click to select the Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) check box to enable Simple File Sharing (click to clear this check box to disable this feature).
Ah, odrešitev, skripta piše v bazo. Odisejada končana, svet rešen, ena ura dela wasted zaradi teh $#*! WinXP in matej je še vedno car :)
