David's Peeling Paint Collection

Bridge Outputs A Web Gallery

Well, David really does the creative work, such that it is, and Bridge gets all the credit. It is handy to publish as either a PDF version ( .pdf  2.6mb 14 min/28.8 ) or Web Gallery and let the user choose..

So you can now follow my YouTube visits...

I can see using this feature to point students and friends to good resources. I believe that this only works with Firefox.

KompoZer

Easy web authoring

"Son of NVU?"

KompoZer is a complete web authoring system that combines web file management and easy-to-use WYSIWYG web page editing.

KompoZer is designed to be extremely easy to use, making it ideal for non-technical computer users who want to create an attractive, professional-looking web site without needing to know HTML or web coding.

Having used and taught NVU I'm looking forward to seeing what KompoZer can do.

I find it very interesting, the intergration of tools in the new elearning suite by Adobe.

They say:

'"For quick-turnaround projects using Adobe® eLearning Suite software, let Adobe Captivate® 4 and Presenter 7 drive the bulk of your authoring. Use the new project templates in Adobe Captivate to quickly create prototypes, and leverage the tight integration Adobe Captivate has with Adobe Photoshop® CS4 Extended, Flash® CS4 Professional, and Soundbooth® CS4 to populate the placeholders with rich interactive media.

Google’s inauguration search queries show a rapidly evolving Internet

MG Siegler | January 21st, 2009

Overall search query volume dropped dramatically from the time when the Presidential oath began to the time when President Obama’s inaugural speech ended. That means people may have actually be listening rather than searching for things like “Britney Spears” on Google.

Tech Lunch - Byte Group,   Friday,
January 16th, 2009

A new year and a new attempt to keep this occasional "meeting of the minds" lunch group functioning. Four intrepid attendees found their way to the Blue Moon Cafe in Shepherdstown, WV.

                 David Hark with a hot cup of "Joe"

With a hot cup of "Joe" David Hark was ready for most anything even the "art work" on the walls".

Bill Tchakirides discussed his collection of check protectors and the impact of ebay on collecting.

             

Bob Smith presented everyone with an LED light and cable holder pointing out the very low prices available for neat toys.

      

Very inexpensive led lamps at around 50¢ each.

Bob also brought a very handy adapter to connect any hard drive through USB.

 

Chris Elmer, from Shepherd University showed the group his latest work using accelerametors.

We hope to keep this up with our next meeting in February. To be included, just contact David Hark dhark@fred.net

Travels to Merrill Wisconsin

Travels in October...

Off to Merrill in Wisconsin, the "City of Parks", for a few days of Dreamweaver and Contribute training. What a beautiful town.
I just love the classic homes and buildings.

What really caught my eye was a window on Main Street...

Alas, not much time for photography except in the air ports...
