Well, you might not get a degree when you complete your courses, but there's lots of educational material available through YouTube. It's organized in a special section of the website: www.youtube.com/edu which features videos from YouTube's college and university partners.
You can search for a specific topic, or view a list of [...] Ever since I started my blog, I've subscribed to the RSS feed. That lets me know if everything is working as expected with the feed, and I can investigate any problems as early as possible. It's also a good check when I upload an article with a delayed posting time. Sometimes I forget to set [...] If you have a blog, I'd highly recommend that you write your articles in Windows Live Writer. It's a free download, available on the Windows Live web site. You'll need a Windows Live account before you can use the program, so if you don't have an account yet, it'll take you a couple of minutes [...] If you use Feedburner to manage your blog's email subscriptions, you can customize the activation letter that goes out to new subscribers. Instead of using the default address, subject line and email body, you can use your own greeting. I just discovered this feature, so if you got a boring, generic greeting from me, I [...] A few times a day I get email that asks for a response receipt, and it's usually from someone I've never heard of, asking for help with an Excel problem. Don't these people trust the Internet? Are they the same people who used to call to see if you got the fax they had just [...] Although the title of today's blog pretty much describes my meeting notes (what the heck do those scribbles mean?), I'm referring to a couple of utilities I found this week. Both have been very helpful already, so you might find them useful too. Print What You Like First is Print What You Like, a web [...] No, this blog hasn't gone political. I'm talking about polling co-workers, friends or family, to make a decision, or pick a date for an event. That might be easy to do if you're in a big office, and share an online calendar. But, if you're running a small business and trying to get a consensus [...] You hit Send, then realize you forgot the attachment. Or you misspelled the recipient's name. Or you used Reply All, when you only wanted the message to go to one person. None of these things have ever happened to me (well hardly ever), but you might have been less fortunate. All kinds of tragedies can [...] Whether you're the CIO of a large company, or working in a small IT department, or a self-employed consultant, do you hide behind words like "anomoly", "specifications" and "process"? I know that I've been guilty of a few of those, when a user has a problem with a spreadsheet or database that I've created. In [...] If you're writing an article or presentation, in many cases it's better to use smaller words, that more readers will easily understand, than to fill your articles with five syllable tongue-twisters. Eschew obfuscation, as they say. Now there's Thsrs, an online thesaurus to help you simplify your writing. Enter a long word in the input [...]  |
