In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero. of an automobile platform based coupé utility. In 1957, Ford introduced the Ranchero, and established a new market segment in the U.S. The body style did not reappear on the American market until the release of the 1957 Ford Ranchero.īoth the coupé utility and the similar open-topped roadster utility continued in production, but the improving economy of the mid- to late-1930s and the desire for improved comfort saw coupé utility sales climb at the expense of the roadster utility until, by 1939, the latter was all but a fading memory. General Motors’ Australian subsidiary Holden also produced a Chevrolet coupé utility in 1935, and Studebaker produced the Coupé Express from 1937 to 1939. Bandt went on to manage Ford's Advanced Design Department, being responsible for the body engineering of the XP, XT, XW, and XA series Ford Falcon utilities. Ford designer Lew Bandt developed a suitable solution, and the first coupé utility model was released in 1934. įord Australia was the first company to produce a coupé utility as a result of a 1932 letter from the wife of a farmer in Victoria, Australia, asking for "a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays". The concept of a two-door vehicle based on a passenger car chassis with a tray at the rear began in the United States in the 1920s with the roadster utility (also called "roadster pickup" or "light delivery") models. Renamed Caballero in 1978, it was also produced through the 1987 model year. GMC's badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was introduced for the 1971 model year. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.Īlthough based on corresponding General Motors car lines, the vehicle is classified in the United States as a pickup. ![]() Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body. The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959––1987. ![]()

It is advised that you attempt to track down the VSS failure to either a "VSS" or "volsnap" error in the Application or System logs in Event Viewer, respectively. The cause presented by the software for the VSS failure is usually correct, however, the software can only make an educated guess as to what the VSS problem is. If the backup software is unable to create a VSS snapshot/shadow copy, it will throw an error saying so along with another error giving the likely cause of the VSS failure. ![]()

As clinical as this term may sound, it’s actually very easy to explain. ![]() ![]() So I had right away challenge, you know, and it wasn't boring, drudgery exercises. I mean, I was a quick study but no genius, so it must have taken at least half a year to learn the piece. So certainly, within one or two months, she must have gotten me to start learning the Haydn concerto 'cause I was no wizard as far as quick learning. And by the time I was sort of 8 1/2 or almost 9, I had auditioned to play with the Philadelphia Orchestra with the Haydn concerto. WATTS: No because, you know, when - I came to Philadelphia when I was 8. GROSS: Did it take a while before your teacher gave you music that you could play that you also really enjoyed as music? But what I got in that first year, I think, was the real complete - I mean, complete hedonistic, sort of an unalloyed pleasure of playing the instrument, just sitting at the piano and running around with your fingers on it. And she got me to a piano teacher, and then I had to do scales and had to be told that, well, you know, don't you think that's a lot of different sounds if you don't move your foot, you know, off the pedal? And, yeah, sure, it took a little time. So, you know, he - now he should study with someone. And then when I came to the United States, when I came to Philadelphia, then my mother thought, well, it seems like he has some talent. WATTS: It is true, of course, that then when I - this was all in Germany. TERRY GROSS: People worry if you do that, you're going to develop bad habits that will be very difficult. ![]() You know, and I did that for about a year. And, you know, it makes all those - and I say this with no sarcasm - all those decent, hardworking, long-suffering piano teachers - it makes them shudder when I say that, you know, I put the pedal down for a page at a time just to listen to all that sound building up, you know, and rattled around a mile a minute playing everything but the right notes. And actually, I'm, in retrospect, always very thankful about the way I started playing the piano, although it's the unconventional way. Watts spoke to Terry Gross in 1985, and they begin their conversation talking about those early lessons.ĪNDRE WATTS: There was not a lot of discipline involved, so it was just fun. She's credited with teaching Watts to play the piano beginning at the age of 6. His mother was an amateur pianist from Hungary.

MOSLEY: Watts brought electricity and emotion to his performances, sometimes humming, stomping his feet and bobbing his head as he played. (SOUNDBITE OF NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC PERFORMANCE OF BRAHMS' "PIANO CONCERTO NO. 2 (Haydn)" with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic. Here he is performing Brahms' "Concerto No. Watts rose to international fame after that performance, recording extensively with orchestras in the United States and Europe. He became famous at 16 after performing for composer Leonard Bernstein at the New York Philharmonic on a nationally televised program called "The Young People's Concert." Bernstein would later call on Watts to perform a concert in place of Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, who had fallen ill. Watts is known as one of the first Black superstars in classical music.

The way Splunk works is it processes incoming data against the nf file linearly, one stanza at a time. ![]() I tested this by sending in the access log from a web server, and that data was not indexed, WOOT! But my data was not indexed either, OOPS!. Then the FORMAT keyword, we set to either ‘indexQueue’ (send it to the indexer) or ‘nullQueue’ (ignore it). Notice the DEST_KEY, this tells Splunk we want to deal with data going into the ‘queue’, data that is to be processed/indexed. To ignore data, you must send the data to /dev/null, which Splunk calls ‘nullQueue’. By default, Splunk will index data, but in my case, you can tell it to ignore the data. Here you can tell Splunk how to manipulate (or transform) any data. Now for the second step of ignoring the data. ![]() # Everything Else - the source is a catch all # My Data - regular expression to match my data The second stanza matches any other data and transforms it by ‘setdevnull’. The first stanza defined my data, and if a match occurred the data would be transformed by ‘setparsing’. Using the keyword ‘transform’ within the matching stanza, I could accomplish this. Once this was accomplished, I had to tell Splunk what to do with the data. Within this file I added a ‘stanza’ (or rule) identifying the source of the data. To accomplish step one, which data, I updated the nf file. First you need to tell Splunk which data your interested in, and then you need to tell Splunk what to do with the data. Ignoring the incoming data is a two-step process. The solution is not truly blocking data, but ignoring incoming data. Splunk does provide a mechanism for blocking incoming data, but the documentation is not straightforward in explaining how to achieve this, think: “ This thing reads like stereo instructions” (youtube). As I didn’t want to chance hitting the 500 MB limit I decided to block anyone from “accidentally” placing data into it. The Situationĭue to unforeseen circumstances, I needed to keep this development instance running longer than expected. I built my reports, dashboards, alerts, etc., with no impact on the production systems. See the downloads page here for more information. As I did not want to impact the production Splunk system, I spun up a test instance on a QA box.įor those that do not know, Splunk allows you to use the software for free, as long as the amount of data being indexed (flowing in) is less than 500 MB per day. You can customize it to search a variety of data formats, and using the results you can accomplish many tasks, from producing pie chart reports to generating email alerts.ĭuring a recent project I had the task of building a reporting dashboard reflecting server status. which leads me to believe that it is my nf that has some kind of error.Splunkis a very robust tool for digging into data. So what Splunk is doing is putting all three syslogs into the temp_syslog and is ignoring the transforms. TRANSFORMS-set3= changesourcetypetoactivity TRANSFORMS-set1= changesourcetypetosystem I have the syslogs going to a temp sourcetype then I am grabbing that and using a transforms to set the sourcetype for each syslog.

Personally, I wouldn’t really recommend Colossal Cave Adventure as someone’s first text adventure. You just open Advent.z5 and it will start running. There’s a lot of applications that can play interactive fiction and text adventures, but one I enjoy using is Gargoyle. Once you have it downloaded, you will also need something to run it. The version I recommend is the 350-point version found on the Interactive Fiction Database titled Advent.z5. For a long time, it was considered the first adventure game and has inspired many game designers like Roberta Williams, the creator of King’s Quest and who recently remade this game with Ken Williams as Colossal Cave, and inspired games like Rogue and Zork. The game mostly held up for me once I realized it’s a game that requires multiple attempts, just like a roguelike, and I learned to really enjoy mapping everything as I explored the caves. If you’re an adventure game or interactive fiction fan and have an interest in its history, it’s worth checking out. Players explore a cave system in search of treasure, all while learning spells and encountering fantastical creatures like a giant snake and dragon. It was later expanded upon in 1977 by Don Woods and this is the version most people are familiar with. I hope to do these for a lot of old games I enjoy so other people can check them out as well.Ĭolossal Cave Adventure is a text adventure game released in 1976 and is one of the first adventure games. There’s no spoilers in this guide and it’s just to help new players get started. There’s plenty of walkthroughs for older games but often I’ve found myself wishing for videos or guides that just told me how to get started playing a game, what patches I should use, what versions of the game are the best, and tips for playing the game. This is the first in a series of guides about how to get into older games. ![]() ![]() ![]() The confirmation mail will say that the package in 1 – 3 days.
