FAQ,

the solution is being used by HR, Finance and Procurement, sounds like some intranet site, which part of it are you doing

nothing wrong with being with the wife and children - i'll be too

are you flying within the UK or are you working on the mainland at the moment ?

I once told my then wife that the M62 would kill me.

You would struggle to kill yourself on the M62 these days as you can't go fast enough ! It's at best a 30-40 mph crawl on the North West side in the morning rush hour with all 3 lanes going the same speed.

I was just behind a pretty big crash on the M60 this week, an 80odd year old tried to do a U turn when he came on at the wrong junction.

No - it's digitzing a post room, which handles at least 800000 documents a year. Scanning the documents, gathering metadata, storing the documents in one Oracle system, and creating tasks in another Oracle system for people to deal with the document (e.g. send the scanned image to someone in AP to pay an invoice). It's a challenge to say the least.

I'm within the UK - fly from Manchester down to London every Monday and back on a Friday. Cheaper than the train, and I refuse to drive it. Plus I can rack up a load of frequent flyer points this way

I like to always keep the 2 second rule gap from the car behind.

Is it a 'rule' or recommendation?

FAQ,

sounds like an interesting project.

I guess you store them all as PDF's.

Those fast scanners are funny, taking hundreds of invoices and delivery dokets an hour.

It's an ongoing debate - either PDF or TIFF.

TIFF would open quicker, but PDF is more appropriate to a multi-page document. I also want to store them as text so that they could be indexed and searched easily by keyword, but have been told by our technology partner "that wasn't discussed before, so it's not happening".

This will run on for another year at least, so hopefully I can avoid any downturn by staying here.

Is it a 'rule' or recommendation?

It's a recommendation.

But if you say "Only a fool ignores the two second recommendation" then that takes longer than the two seconds it takes to say "only a fool ignores the two second rule", which is why some people refer to it as a rule.

HTH.

I am sorry to hear your mother is widowed and for you too.

this was not an assumption, it was cuk banter, try not to take it too seriously

however,

point remains, if people are motivated to undertake you it suggests you may be in the wrong lane

Milan.

Not always. If the 3 lanes are being fully used it is not uncommon for the middle lane to move faster than the outside one, even though all of them are being fully used. This is especially true near junctions when the cars joining dive for the 3rd lane causing those already in it to brake. This ripples back through the queue and causes it to eventually stop. While this is happening lane 2 can still be moving.

A good example of this can be seen on the M60 going through 'Death Valley' This stretch is 4 lanes wide. As you go up the hill towards where the M61 joins, the 4th lane stops about half way up the hill. the 3rd one stops a bit later, followed by the second. If you can get over to lane 1 then you can cruise past all this stopped traffic. This stoppages in the outside lanes are due to the volume of traffic being dumped onto the M60 from the M61.

I also tend to drive in the outside lane but I go as fast as the car in front. When this moves over I speed up to catch the next one. If there is nothing next to me then I'll happily drive in the lanes to the right. In heavy traffic I tend to get in with the trucks and creatively use the slip roads!

FAQ,

I'd say it's gotta be pdf otherwise in the end you will endup needing a extra application which does automated tiff to pdf conversions, pdf may cost more timewisae in the beginning but will pay dividends in the long run

you want to store them as text, can't you enough meta data to the pdf's ? do you really need to be able to search on any word in the document or can't you have classifications of the documents and have some kind of taxonomies ?

Milan in KM mode.
