Some people have surnames as first names and I've seen first names as surnames as well. Go figure.

Oddly enough we were in the shopping centre (mall) yesterday, and overheard a lady calling out "Alexa, come here", to a small child.

Had the girl purchased a doll house?[^]

Luckily you can rename the services instead.
So instead of Cortana or Alexa you can name them Harvey. Your wife will love that.
Not sure if that is possible with Siri though.

I have Alexa and a friend I talk to over Skype has Hey Google.
We try to provoke arguments between them.
But it is educational...just this morning I asked Alexa for the winning
6/49 Lottery numbers and she cited a quote from the Bible,

So, as we know Java Applets are a dead technology, right? (I'm wondering if some Java Applet dev out there is crying now.)
Well, my local Half-Price Bookstore must think that they've got a real find here, because they're listing it at $49.99.
I snapped a pic of the cover at the bookstore because I was so shocked:

You're not buying a book, but a piece of history. It's vintage.

At work, we have time series data collected from multiple remote sites.
On occasion, a communication break with the remote site occurs and collected data is buffered; when the communication break is resolved the buffered data is passed to the receiving system. All of the data is time stamped from when it originated, not from when it is received at corporate.
There are two types of calculations:
event based - execute the calculation when an input event is received and time stamp the resultant value with the originating event time stamp
periodic - execute the calculation on a timed basis and use whatever values are available; the resultant value is time stamped with the execution time
So.. now the issue.. if the data is buffered, the periodic calculations are useless, but, periodic calculations are a business requirement.
I need to devise a system to:
detect a communication break
detect when the communication break is resolved and the buffered data has been received
delete the periodic values for the affected site for the affected time frame
re-execute the periodic calculations for the affected site for the affected time frame keeping in mind calculation dependencies; an output from periodic calculation 'A' may be used in periodic calculation 'B'
make the system that gathers the periodic data aware of the recalculated data so they can reload it
I have a conceptual plan written... starting to work on the pieces.

You also need a system to devise what is the appropriate forum to ask these questions on

Not asking a question; just stating what I'm working on.

Yep - read the entire thing, no questions.
I figured you were just procrastinating.

No procrastinating, just finding time to start on it.

I've been mulling it over in my mind since about August; just now have time to actually start to dump the thoughts.

Damn you!
I am sat here at work with nothing to do but wait for any problems to rise and I've had one support call today and new development projects start next year
