TECH SERVICE: Book On Blog problem

Friday, April 4, 2008

A blog doesn’t lend itself to reading like a book — from beginning to end. So the writer has to “connect” the chapters for his readers, by putting foward and back links on the post itself.

<— Last Chapter: Snidely ties Pearl to track

Pearl hears train.

Next Chapter: Dudley arrives on scene —>

You get the idea. Now I have to do the work.

McBookaire: Apple tells me my order is in the air!

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

My one order is coming in three pieces … err, I mean shipments. Hope that’s not prophetic. From China! Don’t know why but I thought Apple as a US based company. Guess it was stupid to think we make anything but mcdonalds in the USA.

TECH SOFTWARE: How to create a glossary in Microsoft Word

How to create a glossary in Microsoft Word

***Begin Quote***

Word has no built-in mechanism to create glossaries. You can type one by hand, use hyperlinks, or use the Table of Authorities functionality.

To create a glossary across several documents, use RD fields and the Table of Authorities functionality.

The simplest way to create a glossary is to type your glossary by hand at the end of your document. Word has no built-in method of creating a glossary automatically, but you can use hyperlinks or the Table of Authorities functionality to create a glossary for one or more documents.

Arghh!

And, doing it manually is a productivity enhancement?

And, you wonder why I think Microsoft is more of a problem than a help?

TECH SERVICE: FOLDERSHARE having trouble after an upgrade?

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

A “Windows Live” Beta service to sync machines.

They did an update yesterday.

Today, my personal notebook says it’s connecting. My work notebook says it’s connecting. But they never connect.

Both personal and work notebook show three of the four machines in the group offline.

Interesting.

I think they have a problem.

# – # – #

Update: As of 1400, the service is now connecting on both stations?

LINKEDIN: Adds “companies” as entities?

Friday, March 21, 2008

http://www.linkedin.com/companies/1703/Comcast?trk=pro_other_cmpy

I looked at the one for Comcast. And “new employees” are four months old. No rss feeds. And, I don’t see a lot of use. Maybe Business Week (the sponsor) will.
