Technology: Friend or Foe?
« Nice Hint for Viewing Wordperfect Files on the Mac | Main | Geo Blogging Test!! »
Yesterday - FOE! I went to give a presentation to the Richmond Multimedia User's Group at VCU, and was hit with a slew of unexpected technical snafus. First, I wasn't able to get on the wireless without rebooting - odd, I'm a mac user. Next came the fatal blow - I couldn't connect to our campus server using our VPN software! Yikes! In order to use Contribute Publishing Services, Dreamweaver, and Contribute together, you must use the Internet.
So, as any instructor knows when teaching, it is always necessary to have a back up plan. Instead of showing off Contribute Publishing Services, I doubled back and showed Breeze.
The other presenter was John from Leadmine Pond. He showed us some interesting Flash components that he uses over and over. [Nb: Work smarter, not harder.] He also gave us a good link - gmodeler.com It is a website that allows you to stub out Actionscript code.
