ODF versus OOXML: Don't forget about HTML! - O'Reilly XML Blog - 0 views

  • Don't forget about HTML
  • February 25, 2007
  • HTML’s potential and actual suitability for much document interchange
  • ...27 more annotations...
  • HTML is the format to consider first
  • validated, standards compliant XHTML in particular
  • HTML at one end (simple WP documents)
  • PDF at the other end (full page fidility but read-only)
  • W3C versus ISO
  • HTML, ODF, OOXML, PDF
  • Lie adopts an extreme view towards overlap of standards:
  • overlap at all brings nothing but misery and bloat.
  • The next dodgy detail is to make blanket comparisons between HTML and ODF/OOXML.
  • ODF and OOXML deal with many issues that HTML/CSS simply does not.
  • the W3C argument might be to say that every part should have a URL
  • a strange theory that MS wants ODF and OOXML to both fail
  • being pro-ODF does not mean you have have to be anti-OOXML
  • HTML is the format of choice for interchange of simple documents
  • ODF will evolve to be the format of choice for more complicated documents
  • OOXML is the format of choice for full-fidelity dumps from MS Office
  • PDF is the format of choice for non-editable page-faithful documents
  • all have overlap
  • we need to to encourage a rich library of standard technologies,
  • widely deployed,
  • free,
  • unencumbered,
  • explicit,
  • awareness of when each is appropriate
  • an adequate set of profiles and profile validators
  • using ISO Schematron
  • Plurality

Collective Unconscious - 0 views

      Great view about Collective Unconscious in the 2.0 world
  • “Never before have we had such amazing ways of delivering information through television, books, photographs, graphics, computers, video, multimedia, and the internet. Yet so many children are bored and have become less and less motivated to learn about and understand the world around them,”
  • Jung’s collective unconscious is the dreamtime of Homo sapiens. ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’ is the dreamtime of late-era hypercapitalism. The energies that inform Jung’s collective unconscious are for the most part biological: instinctual drives of fear, hunger and sex (along with the drive for psychic wholeness). The energies that inform the ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’ are more abstract, related to the movement of electronic capital and the maximization of profit to shareholders.

  • “These modules seek to penetrate, but in a passing way. A second of your attention is all they ask. Nothing is firing that rends or cuts. It’s a massage, really, if you just go with it. And why not? Some of the most talented people on the planet have devoted their lives to creating this psychic sauna, just for you.” Ersatz environments and colourful advertisements have been with us since the fifties, de Zengotita adds, but the multimedia blitz we experience now represents a whole new level of persuasion. “Saying that it’s just more of what we had before is like saying a hurricane is just more breeze.”
  • Today’s mass dream, split from the organic foundation of the world and cobbled together from shards of television shows, newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, films, ad jingles, ringtones – the whole mad fantasy of what’s hip, what’s not, who’s in, who’s out and the international villain du jour – is the raw stuff of the ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’.
  • Mainstream media culture currently has all the signs of full-blown psychosis. This is analogous to Jung’s shadow. Confronting the shadow is unpleasant on a personal level, but healing cannot be effected without being confronted with the truth – and as folk wisdom has it, the truth hurts. What is positive about this process is that we’re being forced to confront the very worst in the imaginal output of our great, untethered, free market economy.
  • We are, ultimately, the stories we tell each other of our past, present and future. We become what we seek. It’s up to us to rule the imagination or leave it in the hands of a select few to shape the future of the mass dream. As Buckminster Fuller once said, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Influential Marketing Blog: 10 Stunning (And Useful) Stats About Twitter - 0 views

  • 21% (One Fifth) of Twitter accounts are empty placeholders.
  • Nearly 94% of all Twitter accounts have less than 100 followers.
  • March and April of 2009 were the tipping point for Twitter.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • 150 followers is the magic numbe
  • A small minority creates most of the activity
  • 5% of users account for 75% of all activity, and 10% of users account for 86%. This seems to suggest that the site has managed to engage a mass audience beyond those who typically engage with social media.
  • Half of all Twitter users are not "active."
  • his leaves about 30% of users who have an account and have tweeted before, but happen to be inactive now.
  • Tuesday is the most active Twitter day
  • APIs have been the key to Twitter's growth & utility.
  • English still dominates Twitter
  • Twitter is being led by the social media geeks.
  • 150 followers is the magic number. In a particularly interesting data point from the survey, Sysomos found that Twitter users tended to "follow back" all their followers up until about 150 connections. Then the reciprocation rate fell off dramatically, which seems to indicate that this number may be the crossover point where people shift from using Twitter for more personal use to using it more for "lifecasting" their thoughts and actions to a community of people who they feel varying levels of connection to.

Tourists Face Algarve Car Hire Shortage Again - 0 views

  •  
    Problems within the car hire industry have, in recent years, been compounded by the global economic situation which has seen companies unable to reinvest in fleets. "The economic model of rent a car has changed in recent years with the resale of ex-hire cars no longer being guaranteed. Now, car hire companies are unable to renew their fleets so often and have also had to reduce the number of cars they own," said the president of AERTA. Another problem arrises even for the Algarve car hire companies interested in expanding their fleets for high season: With the reduction of imported cars and the increase of bank interests cars became much more expensive and so the investment in new cars suffered a dramatic cut.

Dog training Tools - 0 views

  •  
    Although there is tons of dog training tools, we have complied a list of training items we believe are essential to proper training. If you need something different make sure you visit our recommended dog store. So, lets get started. The first thing we recommend is a dog collar and leash. In some states it is the law to have your dog registered and on a leash at all times. This tool is extremely helpful to avoid your dog getting lost and running off during your training. For dogs with tough habits that need more aggressive measures there is training collars available.

JDojo < Main < TWiki - 0 views

  •  
    The idea of JDojo is to bring JavaScript and Dojo to Java. To achieve this, JDojo provides Java stubs for existing Dojo and JavaScript types a compiler participant to the Eclipse Java compiler that emits JavaScript files for each Java file compiled The programmer does not program against the Java JDK classes, but against Dojo and JavaScript stubs that JDojo provides. The compiler participant only allows a subset of the existing JDK classes and also limits the Java language constructs that can be used. To support important features that exist in JavaScript but are not available in Java, JDojo provides Java annotations that the programmer can use to instruct the compiler how to translate code. While the compiler still produces class files, what is of interest is the JavaScript code. Only the generated JavaScript code is executable, the Java code is not. Contrary to Java-JavaScript cross compilers, JDojo does not add anything on top of the JavaScript and Dojo types. JDojo programmers program against the DOM, Dojo widget and other existing Dojo classes the same way as they would do it when programming JavaScript. Therefore, the Java code a JDojo programmer writes looks very similar to the JavaScript code he would have written. However, the programmer now can take advantage of a typed programming environment and benefit from the Eclipse Java Tooling. The translator produces JavaScript that looks as similar as possible to the Java code (without the types), and matches what a JavaScript programmer would have written. This is important when executing and debugging the generated JavaScript; it is still easy to understand the JavaScript code and map a bug back to the Java code. JDojo also fits nicely in the existing Jazz web bundles. JDojo code is placed in a new Java source folder, while the generated JavaScript is inserted in 'resources' folder that also holds existing JavaScript code. To use existing JavaScript code in JDojo, 'Stub' classes can be added, containing only th

How to Create Screencasts You Can Be Proud Of » The Rapid eLearning Blog - 4 views

  • Record the best audio you can by using a good microphone.&nbsp; You can get a decent microphone for less than $100.&nbsp; And if you do a lot of recording, it makes sense to invest in a good one.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here’s an example of two different microphones on the same laptop in the same room:&nbsp; $30 headset and $72 desktop (with no pop filter or any other type of adjustment).
  • Turn off the A/C and fans.&nbsp; Turn off the office machines.&nbsp; Sometimes you’ll pick up some noise or humming when the microphone is too close to the computer, speakers, or other electronic devices.
  • Have some water handy.&nbsp; I find that I do a lot of retakes on that opening line, so I tend to start and stop my screencasts.&nbsp; This causes my throat to get dry really fast.&nbsp; It’s easy for me to go from sounding like a smooth rapid elearning coach to Lauren Bacall in just a few takes.
    • Bakari Chavanu
       
      This is so true. My mouth gets very dry when I'm trying to do screencasts. This is a good tip.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Try to use less than 5 minutes.&nbsp; Screenr gives you 5 minutes.&nbsp; That doesn’t mean that you have to take all 5 minutes for the screencast.&nbsp; An ideal screencast is 2-3 minutes.&nbsp; If you find that the screencast is long, just break it into chunks.&nbsp;&nbsp;
  • Sometimes I’ll change the resolution of my computer and do a full screen capture at a lower resolution.&nbsp; When I bring it back up, it looks great and I was able to leverage a full screen for the capturing.&nbsp; Play around with some techniques that work for you.
  • It’s easy enough to follow the mouse, but make sure to point out what they should be looking at when you change screens or focus on a new area.&nbsp; This is especially true if you’re doing things they can’t see like using a keyboard shortcut.
  • If you have to do full screen videos where you show your desktop, try a product like Stardock’s Fences.&nbsp; It’s free and can quickly hide your icons while you do your recording.&nbsp; Here’s a tutorial to show how to use Fences to hide your desktop icons.
  • When you do screencasts from this account you don’t need to worry about hiding personal information like folders or toolbars in your browser.&nbsp; I’d also make your desktop image a solid color rather than a distracting background image.&nbsp; You can also try a virtual desktop.&nbsp; Set one up just for screencast videos.&nbsp; Here’s a demo of how to use a virtual desktop.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
  • One trick is to start with the final output.&nbsp; Tell the viewer that this is what you’ll create and then jump to the tutorial and a different screen.
  • Screenr does come with some default settings that work well in your rapid elearning courses.&nbsp; For example, 720×540 is the aspect ratio for a PowerPoint slide.&nbsp; 980×560 is perfect for videos in the no sidebar view mode in Articulate Presenter.&nbsp;
  • If you find that you have to click on buttons and open other screens during your demos, then you want to use Alt+D to pause your recording between mouse clicks.&nbsp;
