"NFC (near field communication) is a wireless technology which allows for the transfer of data such as text or numbers between two NFC enabled devices. NFC tags, for example stickers or wristbands, contain small microchips with little aerials which can store a small amount of information for transfer to another NFC device, such as a mobile phone. What information can you store ? There's a whole set of different data types you can store on an NFC tag. The actual amount of data varies depending on the type of NFC tag used - different tags have different memory capacities. For example, you may choose to store a URL (web address) or a telephone number. A standard Ultralight nfc tag can store a URL of around 41 characters, whereas the newer NTAG203 nfc tag can store a URL of around 132 characters."

"Translating MS Word and MS Office documents into web pages can be difficult; here's a few tips."

"Convert Microsoft Word to plain text Most of the time when I'm writing content for the web (for this blog, or a forum comment, or whatever), I'll write in Microsoft Word for the spell check and other features that aren't in a standard textarea widget, and then I'll cut and paste into the form on the site. The problem is that this carries all of the high characters ("smart-quotes" and the like) that MS Word makes straight through to the site - and most sites aren't set up to handle them. They expect plain ("Latin") text. A solution: this script converts text copied from MS word into plain text. Paste your input into the top box, press clean, and the input will be scrubbed and sent to the lower box."
