Today, Adobe released Captivate 4 and the ‘Elearning Suite’. As I stated in a previous post, Captivate 4 is a must-have, monster upgrade for any Captivate user. It is the first Captivate release that can reasonably produce a complete elearning content package. Prior versions either forced users to live [...] Continue Reading…

Just saw this webpage:

Update 12.28.08: I meant to publish this months ago, when I first wrote it! It’s been sitting in my unpublished ‘pages’ list, of all places, as I mistakenly left it there (why I put it into a ‘page’ versus a ‘post’ I have no idea!).
This is part three of [...] Continue Reading…

Trying to use Adobe Connect Training for something it wasn’t intended for is really a pain. Little things (that are big things) just drive me nuts about it. Anyways, here (mainly for me for future reference) is a script to force the content window to be fullsized. It goes [...] Continue Reading…

T-Mobile @Home HiPort adapter
My 2-year contract with T-Mobile for mobile phone usage is up this February. I’m on the ‘Family Talk 1000′ plan, so my wife and I both have a phone with a shared pool of 1000 minutes (it cost me $49.95 total for both phones and has [...] Continue Reading…
