Not Happy Adobe! Activation Issues

About 10 days ago I moved to the Adobe E-Learning Suite 2.5 using the subscription model. After carefully reviewing the licence agreement, I determined I would be able install on my main desktop PC and the laptop provided both were not to used at once (there is only one of me- so this is unlikely)

So I signed up, downloaded and installed on PC and laptop.

All good and ready for me to do a couple of projects with Dreamweaver and Captivate and to prepare for the Acrobat X and Captivate 5.5 exams.

Except now I can’t use any of it on either PC. Read the rest of Not Happy Adobe! Activation Issues »

Not Happy! Microsoft Windows Phone and Office 365

I have a rule not to blog angry. It can give the wrong impression. I am for example preparing some really positive video tutorials covering useful things to do with SharePoint Online, Windows phone and OneNote 2010. Lots of good things to say which I will save for a later post.

Because I am grumpy now.

I recently updated my password for Office 365. Good practice – Yes. A Mistake – Yes Read the rest of Not Happy! Microsoft Windows Phone and Office 365 »

What I learned from FLOSS Weekly this week

I should listen to FLOSS weekly more often – it is always good value. This week I learnt about Chamilo - an alternative Learning Management System (LMS) to Moodle.

The interview was very informative and has inspired me to  download and experiment with it. I will post a review.

Internet Explorer CSS Tips

F12 Internet Explorer Developer Tools for Troubleshooting CSS Issues

A quick tip I picked up from a Microsoft SharePoint tutorial – on CSS and SharePoint was that in IE9 – the F12 function key brings up a set of useful  developer tools. This will be very helpful to me in troubleshooting a new page layout for a client – which behaves itself in all browsers except Internet Explorer.

IE10 Compatibility Checker

While I am sorting out IE9 issues – it will be handy to test for potential IE10 issues while I am about it – learn more about the IE10 Compat Inspector

Eating that Frog

My Apologies for the long time between posts.

I have been busy eating frogs, which is a reference to a time management technique where you deal with the problem tasks and things you don’t enjoy doing to clear the way for activities you want to do. So I have been eating several frogs so I can move forward.

To learn about eating your own frogs you can get the book as an audio book or in dead tree form.

More Tips, videos etc soon

Simple Calculations in LiveCycle Designer

The following flash movie shows how to create simple calculations in LiveCycle Designer

An important initial step is not shown in the video – choosing the scripting language.

In the video I am using FormCalc

To set the form to use FormCalc

  1. Select File Menu
  2. Choose Form Properties
  3. Click the Default Tab or Page
  4. Select FormCalc (the alternative is JavaScript)
  5. Click OK

The  video is in swf format and is 1270×720 of around 6MB, you may need to scroll to the right to see it properly – when time permits I’ll tidy up the positioning.
