The following command will dump the database db_name to the db_backups directory with the filename yyyymmdd.sql where yyyy is the current year, mm is the ...
There is only one golden rule:
The ONLY thing that gets people into events is other people. If you already have people coming, other people will come. As far as nightclub events go, this is the ONLY rule that matters. I promise you.
Other rules:
As a promoter, your job is to convince people that other people are already coming. That's the only thing that matters. See the golden rule. If you try to convince people of the merit of the event, you are wasting your time. See the ...
Whilst doing a bit of local history research today, I came across this newspaper clipping from the Ely Standard, dated 13th April 1972, and describing a mysterious face and message painted on the wall of the Black Bull pub in Littleport and which had come to light during demolition.
The news story goes on to describe how a local collector had salvaged the face and had temporarily added it to his collection of Bygones.
The inscription beneath the face reads "No Trust To Day Pay The ...
Who marieth a Wife uppon a Moneday,
If she will not be good uppon a Tewesday,
Lett him go to the wood uppon a Wensday,
And cutt him a cudgel uppon the Thursday,
And pay her soundly uppon a Fryday,
And she mend not ye Divil take her a Saterday,
Then may he eate his meate in peace on the Sonday

This is one of those things that drives me mad, that I can never find in the documentation. I'm currently running Gnucash 2.4.11 on Mint 14 (based on Ubuntu) and sometimes need to edit the invoice template. I can never find where the damn thing is.
Currently, it's here (along with other templates):

All this digging out old stuff from my past as a Chicago Rock Cafe DJ in the 90s reminds me that they used to have this thing called "Chicago Cats" or something. Basically, the bar staff would work out a dance routine to something awful, like "Greased Lightning" and at some pre-appointed time, probably midnight, the DJ would put on the record and the "Cats" (ie barstaff) would stop serving drinks, get on the bar and perform their dance routine.
It was, without doubt, the most ...
In 1996, all the Chicago Rock Cafe DJs got together and had a big meeting (unpaid). They put on their very best thinking caps and entered the Chicago Rock Cafe 'Think Tank', chaired by the self appointed 'Head DJ', where they voiced their very best ideas. Luckily someone was on hand to minute the meeting and distribute to all the Absentees (i.e. me). This is the cream of the UKs DJ talent, thinking their very best ideas. Be awe inspired.
This diagram came from the handout provided by Luminar Leisure during one of their monthly "Patronise a DJ" meetings (which, I hasten to add, I never attended, despite constant 'last' warnings). So in 1997, nearly ten years after turning professional, I was bemused to receive a memo containing the following diagram, presumably telling me what I had been getting wrong over all these years. Idiots.
