困挠我两天的问题终于解决了！
由于用优化大师优化了系统，结果导致了在firefox下的网络视频无法发声，包括一些flesh动画、youtube上的视频等，都仅只有画面，而无声音。而用使用IE浏览器，则一切如常，画面声音一样不少。看来问题并不出现在声音驱动方面。按照平时遇到问题时的习惯，马上到google里搜索答案，然而查了两天，始终无法找到满意的答案，许多帖子的回答都不得要领。今天突然灵机闪动，既然是firefox浏览器的问题，为什么不到firefox网站去寻求解答呢？！
首先进入firefox中文主页/下载扩展软件/点击扩展栏目/点击论坛/找到常见问题与解决办法/,果然在条目中看到：29.Firefox 播放在线视频、音频的解决方法？接着点击，找到：为什么用Firefox不能正常浏览某些网页？终于看到庐山真面目：在线音频与视频。哈哈～～原来，firefow要播放音频、视频文件需要相关的插件，这就是——Mediawrap！ OK，问题找到，解决它就简单了，下载、安装，一切OK！乌拉！网上视频终于有声音了！
在次记录，以备后用。
明天是2008年的最后一天了，回顾一年来自己的工作学习，一如既往的感到羞愧。许多想做、该做的事却没有做，做了许多可能是不该做的。一年里，忙忙碌碌，却收获无多。希望2009年在许多不得不做的事情之外，能坚守自己的目标，把握自己的方向，然后不懈努力！

正在浮现的技术——课程介绍
今天从Elearning space上看到一个帖子，称加拿大曼尼托巴大学于11月17日要开出一门介绍新型学习技术的课程。从对该课程的描述看：
新技术为教育者在提高学习者参与度和改进学习经验的全面价值方面提供了新机会。近五年，大量新工具和方法不断涌现，如：博客、维客、播客、社会性书签、虚拟世界、和社会性网络服务等。该课程将探讨这些技术的发展及它们在教学和学习中的潜在作用。课程将关注的是，这些工具对增加学生、同侪与校外专家在内容、交互和学习网络构成方面的控制情况。
Final week to register for the first course in University of Manitoba’s is offering a Certificate in Emerging Technologies for Learning: Introduction to Emerging Technologies (starts November 17). I’m co-facilitating the course with Dave Cormier…so I’m looking forward to a great course!
From the course description (.pdf): “New technologies offer new opportunities for educators to increase learner engagement and improve the overall value of the learning experience. The last five years have resulted in the introduction of numerous new tools and approaches: blogs, wikis, podcasts, social bookmarking, virtual worlds, and social networking services. This course will explore the development of different technologies and suggest their potential impact on teaching and learning. Focus will be placed on tools that increase learner control over content, interaction, and the formation of learning networks with peers and experts outside of classrooms.” Posted in Uncategorized.
这不正是我打算开设的课程吗！
该课程开设的目的，绝不仅仅是让学生掌握这些工具的使用，关键是学会学生利用这些工具构建个人学习环境、提高学习效果及效率，学会学习，同时促进学生间的合作学习。如果是师范生，还希望他能将学到的能力辐射到他的学生身上，为学生搭建一个良好的学习环境。

C盘空间不足解决办法
近期，电脑总报C盘空间不足。删去了很多临时文件，而且还启用清除系统垃圾的软件，然而问题仍然存在。检查安装的软件后，实在不忍心再删除什么了。怎么办？恰好看到一篇文章，照猫画虎，用过之后，C盘空间从原来的195M居然扩大到了1.55G！下面是该文章推荐的方法：
释放C盘空间的办法：
1.打开“我的电脑”-“工具”-“文件夹选项”-“查看”-在“显示所有文件和文件夹”选项前打勾-再按“确定”
2.删除以下文件夹中的内容：
C:\Documents and Settings\用户名\Cookies\下的所有文件(保留index文件)
C:\Documents and Settings\用户名\Local Settings\Temp\下的所有文件(用户临时文件)
C:\Documents and Settings\用户名\LocalSettings\TemporaryInternet Files\下的所有文件(页面文件)
C:\Documents and Settings\用户名\Local Settings\History\下的所有文件(历史纪录)
C:\Documents and Settings\用户名\Recent\下的所有文件(最近浏览文件的快捷方式)
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\下的所有文件(临时文件)
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles(升级sp1或sp2后的备份文件)
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386下的压缩文件(驱动程序的备份文件)
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\download下的所有文件
3.如果对系统进行过windoes updade升级，则删除以下文件：
C:\windows\下以 $u... 开头的隐藏文件
4.然后对磁盘进行碎片整理，整理过程中请退出一切正在运行的程序
5.碎片整理后打开“开始”-“程序”-“附件”-“系统工具”-“系统还原”-“创建一个还原点”(最好以当时的日期作为还原点的名字)
6.打开“我的电脑”-右键点系统盘-“属性”-“磁盘清理”-“其他选项”-单击系统还原一栏里的“清理”-选择“是”-ok了
7、在各种软硬件安装妥当之后，其实XP需要更新文件的时候就很少了。删除系统备份文件吧：开始→运行→sfc.exe /purgecache近3xxM。(该命令的作用是立即清除"Windows 文件保护"文件高速缓存，释放出其所占据的空间)
8、删掉\windows\system32\dllcache下dll档(减去200——300mb),这是备用的dll档， 只要你已拷贝了安装文件，完全可以这样做。
9、删除不用的输入法：对很多网友来说，Windows XPt系统自带的输入法并不全部都合适自己的使用，比如IMJP8_1 日文输入法、IMKR6_1 韩文输入法这些输入法，如果用不着，我们可以将其删除。输入法位于\windows\ime\文件夹中，全部占用了88M的空间。
10、升级完成发现windows\多了许多类似$NtUninstallQ311889$这些目录，都干掉吧，1x-3xM
11、另外，保留着\windows\help目录下的东西对我来说是一种伤害，呵呵。。。都干掉！
12、关闭系统还原：系统还原功能使用的时间一长，就会占用大量的硬盘空间。因此有必要对其进行手工设置，以减少硬盘占用量。打开"系统属性"对话框，选择"系统还原"选项，选择"在所有驱动器上关闭系统还原"复选框以关闭系统还原。也可仅对系统所在的磁盘或分区设置还原。先选择系统所在的分区，单击"配置"按钮，在弹出的对话框中取消"关闭这个驱动器的系统还原"选项，并可设置用于系统还原的磁盘空间大小。
13、休眠功能会占用不少的硬盘空间，如果使用得少不妨将共关闭，关闭的方法是的：打开"控制面板"，双击"电源选项"，在弹出的"电源选项属性"对话框中选择"休眠"选项卡，取消"启用休眠"复选框。
14、卸载不常用组件：XP默认给操作系统安装了一些系统组件，而这些组件有很大一部分是你根本不可能用到的，可以在"添加/删除Windows 组件"中将它们卸载。但其中有一些组件XP默认是隐藏的，在"添加/删除Windows 组件"中找不到它们，这时可以这样操作：用记事本打开\windows\inf\sysoc.inf这个文件，用查找/替换功能把文件中的"hide"字符全部替换为空。这样，就把所有组件的隐藏属性都去掉了，存盘退出后再运行"添加-删除程序"，就会看见多出不少你原来看不见的选项，把其中那些你用不到的组件删掉（记住存盘的时候要保存为sysoc.inf，而不是默认的sysoc.txt），如Internat信使服务、传真服务、Windows messenger，码表等，大约可腾出近50MB的空间。
15、清除系统临时文件：系统的临时文件一般存放在两个位置中：一个Windows安装目录下的Temp文件夹；另一个是 C:\Documents and Settings"用户名"\Local Settings\Temp文件夹(Y:是系统所在的分区)。这两个位置的文件均可以直接删除。
16、清除Internet临时文件：定期删除上网时产生的大量Internet临时文件，将节省大量的硬盘空间。打开IE浏览器，从"工具"菜单中选择 "Internet选项"，在弹出的对话框中选择"常规"选项卡，在"Internet临时文件"栏中单击"删除文件"按钮，并在弹出"删除文件"对话框，选中"删除所有脱机内容"复选框，单击"确定"按钮。
17、清除预读文件：Windows XP的预读设置虽然可以提高系统速度，但是使用一段时间后，预读文件夹里的文件数量会变得相当庞大，导致系统搜索花费的时间变长。而且有些应用程序会产生死链接文件，更加重了系统搜索的负担。所以，应该定期删除这些预读文件。预计文件存放在Windows XP系统文件夹的Prefetch文件夹中，该文件夹下的所有文件均可删除。
18、压缩NTFS驱动器、文件或文件夹：如果你的硬盘采用的是NTFS文件系统，空间实在紧张，还可以考虑启用NTFS的压缩功能。右击要压缩的驱动器－"属性"－"常规"－"压缩磁盘以节省磁盘空间"，然后单击"确定"， 在"确认属性更改"中选择需要的选项。这样可以节省约20% 的硬盘空间。在压缩C盘的时候，最好在安全模式下压缩，这样效果要好一些。
19、关闭华医生Dr.Watson：要关闭Dr.Watson可打开注册表编辑器，找到"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug"分支，双击其下的Auto键值名称，将其"数值数据"改为0，最后按F5刷新使设置生效，这样就取消它的运行了。也在"开始"->"运行"中输入"drwtsn32"命令，或者"开始"->"程序"- >"附件"->"系统工具"->"系统信息"->"工具"->"Dr Watson"，调出系统里的华医生Dr.Watson ，只保留"转储全部线程上下文"选项，否则一旦程序出错，硬盘会读很久，并占用大量空间。如以前有此情况，请查找user.dmp文件，删除后可节省几十 MB空间。
20、关闭远程桌面："我的电脑"->"属性"->"远程"，"远程桌面"里的"允许用户远程连接到这台计算机"勾去掉。
21、取消XP对ZIP支持：Windows XP在默认情况下打开了对zip文件支持，这要占用一定的系统资源，可选择"开始→运行"，在"运行"对话框中键入"regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll"，回车确认即可取消XP对ZIP解压缩的支持，从而节省系统资源。
22、关闭错误报告：当应用程序出错时，会弹出发送错误报告的窗口，其实这样的错误报告对普通用户而言几乎没有任何意义，关闭它是明智的选择。在"系统属性"对话框中选择"高级"选项卡，单击"错误报告"按钮，在弹出的"错误汇报"对话框中，选择"禁用错误汇报"单选项，最后单击"确定"即可。另外我们也可以从组策略中关闭错误报告：从"运行"中键入"gpedit.msc"，运行"组策略编辑器"，展开"计算机配置→管理模板→系统→错误报告功能"，双击右边设置栏中的"报告错误"，在弹出的"属性"对话框中选择"已禁用"单选框即可将"报告错误"禁用。
23、关掉不用的设备：Windows XP总是尽可能为电脑的所有设备安装驱动程序并进行管理，这不仅会减慢系统启动的速度，同时也造成了系统资源的大量占用。针对这一情况，你可在设备管理器中，将PCMCIA卡、调制解调器、红外线设备、打印机端口(LPT1)或者串口(COM1)等不常用的设备停用，方法是双击要停用的设备，在其属性对话框中 的"常规"选项卡中选择"不要使用这个设备(停用)"。在重新启动设置即可生效，当需要使用这些设备时再从设备管理器中启用它们。
24、定期清理系统还原点：打开磁盘清理，选择其他选项－>清理系统还原点，点击清理。
25、卸载不需要的程序，这个就不用我多说了
26、其它优化：
a.将应用软件装在其它硬盘（不要安装在系统盘下，这对重装系统也有好处）;
b.将"我的文档"文件夹都转到其他分区：在桌面的"我的文档"图标上是右击鼠标，选择"属性"->"移动" ；
c.将IE临时文件夹都转到其他分区：打开IE浏览器，选择"工具"->"internet选项"->"常规"->"设置"->"移动文件夹"；
d.把虚拟内存也转到其它硬盘；
虚拟内存设置技巧
一般windows XP默认情况下是利用C盘的剩余空间来做虚拟内存的，因此，C盘的剩余空间越大，对系统运行就越好，虚拟内存是随着你的使用而动态地变化的，这样C盘就容易产生磁盘碎片，影响系统运行速度，所以，最好将虚拟内存设置在其它分区，如D盘中。查看虚拟内存设置情况如下：
右键点“我的电脑”，左键点“属性”，点选“高级”选项卡，点“性能”里的“设置”按钮，再选“高级”选项卡，点下面的“更改”按钮，所弹出的窗口就是虚拟内存设置窗口，一般默认的虚拟内存是从小到大的一段取值范围，这就是虚拟内存变化大小的范围，最好给它一个固定值，这样就不容易产生磁盘碎片了，具体数值根据你的物理内存大小来定，一般为物理内存的1.5到2倍，如内存为256M，那么应该设置256*1.5=384M，或者干脆512M，设置方法如下：
假设内存为256M，虚拟内存放在D盘，先要将默认的清除，保持C盘为选中状态，单选“无分页文件（N）”再按“设置”按钮，此时C盘旁的虚拟内存就消失了，然后选中D盘，单选“自定义大小”，在下面的“初始大小”和“最大值”两个方框里都添上512，再点一下“设置”按钮，会看到D盘的旁边出现了“512-512”的字样，这样就说明设置好了，再一路确定，最终，系统会要重新启动，重启一下，便完成了设置。
注意：虚拟内存只能有一个，只放在一个盘中！
释放C盘空间的办法：
1.打开“我的电脑”-“工具”-“文件夹选项”-“查看”-在“显示所有文件和文件夹”选项前打勾-再按“确定”
2.删除以下文件夹中的内容：
C:\Documents and Settings\用户名\Cookies\下的所有文件(保留index文件)

C:\Documents and Settings\用户名\Recent\下的所有文件(最近浏览文件的快捷方式)
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\下的所有文件(临时文件)
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles(升级sp1或sp2后的备份文件)
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386下的压缩文件(驱动程序的备份文件)
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\download下的所有文件

一组照片
一组让人震撼的图片。该常看看，拷问自己，以免良心被狗吃掉。
本该颐养天年的老奶奶，还在……
老爷爷的为了生存……
传说中的希望
课堂1：看看我们的孩子在什么样的教室里上课。
课堂2：我们的孩子，我们的未来，却只能在这样晴天四面风，雨天八方水的教室里苦苦求学
两个孩子因付不起区区百来元的学费而被迫缀学在家，过早地肩负起了生活的重担，对他们来说，100多元钱的学 费竟如天文数字。
17岁的矿工,他一次背100多斤的煤走1000多米,一次一块钱。
这张照片最大的现实意义不在于它揭示了 社会巨大的贫富反差，更让人 揪心的还在于－－当这两个孩子长大之后， 我们又该用什么来保证他们所代表 的两个阶层的和睦相处？
无动于衷?
我只是想要回我的工钱,可是～～～～

外甥来信-工具推荐
小姨，您好：
我最近在试用一些免费的工具软件，常去善用佳软并看了xbeta的BLOG，上面有各类免费软件的介绍和使用经验的一些文章，其中两篇综合内容不错：『重装Windows，只用53款全免费软件:上 / 下』和『xbeta精心荐精品之免费软件列表』，可以了解一下。并且您还可以看看后一篇文章的思维导图版。（『思维导图』——一种分支结构关系图的在线应用，也算是社会性软件吧。）这两篇文章介绍的免费软件很多，根据我估计的您的应用，可能常用的软件推荐方案如下：
* Office：OOo——Open Office，替代MsOffice。
* 图形编辑：GIMP，替代PhotoShop。（我在用ubuntu Linux的时候用过此软件，实在是太强大了，PhotoShop应该为自己卖3380而羞愧啊。）文章中还提到的其他一些图形编辑软件，比较小巧、简单，可以作为微软画笔的替代软件。
* 看图：XnView，替代AcdSee。
* 网络浏览：FireFox，替代IE。（这个出于安全考虑而非费用，不过此方案非全代替，有些地方如网络银行只能用IE）。
* PDF阅读：Foxit Reader，替代Adobe的PDFReader。（这个是出于对资源的节约，两者都是免费的，只是体积相差30倍）。
* 病毒防护：Avast! （有官方中文版）或者 Antivirus ，两者都有免费版本（一般叫Home版或者Free版）且仅需email免费注册申请序列号即可。我自己使用Avast!。（文章中提到的更好的AVG Antivirus我也用过，比较复杂，不太喜欢。）
* 防火墙软件：Comodo Firewall 。文章中称赞此软件为最佳的防火墙软件（我刚刚开始使用），之前一直用国产的安全卫士360，主要用来防治木马，也还不错。此Comodo Firewall最新版本只有英文版，安装后也无需注册（安装的时候注意一些选项，默认的情况下可能会被安装一些没什么用的插件和浏览器工具条）。除此之外，世界排名总是第一的ZoneAlarm防火墙也出了一个免费版，功能非常单一，但总比没有强。
* 刻录软件：burnatonce 或者 CDBurnerXP 或者 burnaware 。综合使用的话CDBurnerXP很好用。这些我都用过，现在主要使用burnatonce来刻录音乐CD。
另外有一些文章中没有提到的免费软件：
* 影音播放：K-Lite Mega Codec Pack ，写Email的时候是4.1.7版。严格说来这不是影音播放软件，而是影音解码器综合包——几乎囊括了全部的影音解码器和字幕软件，以及一个强大且小巧的经典播放软件——Media Player Classic。安装他之后不用再安装或者激活其他任何视频播放软件了（如微软的Media Player和Real Player），网上下载的任何格式的视频基本上都能直接播放。使用方法是打开Media Player Classic，然后将视频文件拖放到此程序窗口中，或者直接双击需要播放的视频文件（不过我忘记默认安装是否关联了此程序，没有关联则需要手动设置，哈哈）。这个软件其实还有另外一个更流行的版本：K-Lite Codec Pack，这个缺少Mega字样，也缺少了对rm/rmvb（通常需要另行安装Real Player进行播放）的支持。作为最常使用的家庭娱乐软件之一，这类综合解码器还有国产的暴风影音和影音风暴（两个名字就是这样，哈哈），两者都是模仿K-Lite风格的软件，也是不错的选择。
* 日程管理（便签、即时贴）：AisNote ， 给的链接是下载页面，表格第二项就是他的中文版下载。不知道用过微软Office Outlook这个email客户端没有？它上面就带一样很好用的『任务』功能，拥有任务列表、提醒、完成状况等。AisNote的功能就类似这个，只是将任务做成了即时贴，允许贴（显示）在屏幕上（默认是不贴的），日程管理和提醒功能强大。我用着不如Outlook的地方就是缺少分类和优先级控制，所以这个软件更像一个提醒软件，不过对大多数人来说这就够了。（Google的定制主页：iGoogle上也提供有很多类似功能的在线工具(需要登录设置自己的主页，然后点击『添加内容』——可以添加的东西实在太多了)，属于WEB级别的应用，功能简单，好处是只要能上网的地方就能看到自己的任务和便签）。
斌斌可能需要用的软件（这里跟指和学业或者专业有关的）就更多了，（除了上面提到的）最好他能自己多尝试，这里仅提一下文本编辑器，这类软件他以后（包括工作）肯定是离不开的。
Windows下最好用的文本编辑器是UltraEdit（网上对此软件的相关内容极多，这里是一个评测和正版下载：有官方中文版，破解版或者注册机自己放Google搜吧，注意防毒），我天天都用得到，功能强大，唯一一点就是不免费（共享软件，30天试用期）。另外一个和他竞争的是EditPlus，一样不免费。
免费的文本编辑器，我推荐gVim （官方下载 官方提供中文界面，另外这里提供官方的中文帮助安装版1.6——通过gVim主页中的Translations页可以连接到），这里是一片关于此软件的入门简介。gVIM是Linux操作系统下的默认编辑软件，也是从UNIX操作系统下的默认编辑软件VI发展而来。这个软件我实在不好评价，因为我还没有用熟（正在学习中），但是我只是知道他功能实在太强大了，能和他相提并论的只有Emacs（这个软件就是一个怪物了，用它后就只需：开机—>Emacs—>关机。也就是说在这个"文本编辑器"中你可以做任何事情而无需回到操作系统中），有人这么评价这两个编辑器：Emacs是给黑客用的，而gVim是程序员的编辑器。（这里推荐gVim的原因还有一点是Emacs在Windows下使用不够友好。）想学好gVim我还有一个建议是务必学会『正则表达式』，这个在文本处理、程序和脚本编写中会非常有用。这里有『正则表达式入门教程』可以收藏，以便用时边用边学。
写信断断续续用了两周，想哪写哪儿不连贯。软件先就说这么多了。
下面谈论坛和一些网站：
给小姨再次推荐西西河：www.ccthere.com。这个网站经过多方努力现在国内可以不通过代理就能访问。（这里是他的论坛分类首页，省事的还可以看『一网打尽』，浏览方式不同于其他论坛，需要慢慢适应。）介绍我就不多说了，如果去过其他论坛，再来这里自然知道它的好处，全球最佳中文论坛（虽然是私人的——老大ID："铁手"）。
下面的两个推荐给丁文斌，（大学论坛我不了解——访问不了教育网）：
程序员最佳网站：CSDN （这四个字母几乎可以代表一种文化），上面的论坛社区是国内最好的程序员社区，还有BLOG、空间、文档等栏目，都是好地方。从起步到专家，这里面全都有适合的地方。请去注册一个CSDN帐户吧。
水木社区，我上不了水木清华，但是来这里足够了。
就到这里草草结束吧。虎头蛇尾留待以后有空再补充吧。哈哈。
祝全家好！

我最近在试用一些免费的工具软件，常去善用佳软并看了xbeta的BLOG，上面有各类免费软件的介绍和使用经验的一些文章，其中两篇综合内容不错：『重装Windows，只用53款全免费软件:上 / 下』和『xbeta精心荐精品之免费软件列表』，可以了解一下。并且您还可以看看后一篇文章的思维导图版。（『思维导图』——一种分支结构关系图的在线应用，也算是社会性软件吧。）这两篇文章介绍的免费软件很多，根据我估计的您的应用，可能常用的软件推荐方案如下：
* Office：OOo——Open Office，替代MsOffice。
* 图形编辑：GIMP，替代PhotoShop。（我在用ubuntu Linux的时候用过此软件，实在是太强大了，PhotoShop应该为自己卖3380而羞愧啊。）文章中还提到的其他一些图形编辑软件，比较小巧、简单，可以作为微软画笔的替代软件。
* 看图：XnView，替代AcdSee。
* 网络浏览：FireFox，替代IE。（这个出于安全考虑而非费用，不过此方案非全代替，有些地方如网络银行只能用IE）。
* PDF阅读：Foxit Reader，替代Adobe的PDFReader。（这个是出于对资源的节约，两者都是免费的，只是体积相差30倍）。
* 病毒防护：Avast! （有官方中文版）或者 Antivirus ，两者都有免费版本（一般叫Home版或者Free版）且仅需email免费注册申请序列号即可。我自己使用Avast!。（文章中提到的更好的AVG Antivirus我也用过，比较复杂，不太喜欢。）
* 防火墙软件：Comodo Firewall 。文章中称赞此软件为最佳的防火墙软件（我刚刚开始使用），之前一直用国产的安全卫士360，主要用来防治木马，也还不错。此Comodo Firewall最新版本只有英文版，安装后也无需注册（安装的时候注意一些选项，默认的情况下可能会被安装一些没什么用的插件和浏览器工具条）。除此之外，世界排名总是第一的ZoneAlarm防火墙也出了一个免费版，功能非常单一，但总比没有强。
* 刻录软件：burnatonce 或者 CDBurnerXP 或者 burnaware 。综合使用的话CDBurnerXP很好用。这些我都用过，现在主要使用burnatonce来刻录音乐CD。
另外有一些文章中没有提到的免费软件：

4个在线制作幻灯演示的工具 (转贴)
不是所有人都有能力使用微软的 PowerPoint 制作幻灯片，价钱是一个方面，还有操作系统兼容问题。ReadWriteWeb 为我们推荐了4个用来在线制作幻灯片的地方。
Zoho Show 2.0
Zoho Show 2.0 是一个非常出色的在线演示制作服务，拥有快速制作演示幻灯片的最好的功能，拥有大量主题，大量选项定制你的演示。RWW 曾登过一篇关于该服务的深度评测。
Google Docs
Google Docs 的用户可以使用该服务快速制作演示幻灯片。虽然也有主题和选项供选，但 Google 的简化风格会让你觉得很难用，很多选项都有不少限制。
280 Slides
280 Slides 是一个非常干净的在线演示制作工具，它也没有很多主题和选项供选，用户也无法上载自己的主题图片，但你可以从 Flickr 和 Youtube 获取图片和视频加到演示文稿中，该服务最大的特色是你可以将最终的作品以 PowerPoint 2007 格式下载。
SlideRocket
SlideRocket 算得上是最好的在线幻灯制作工具，RWW 有两篇文章介绍过该服务，our review of SlideRocket 以及 SlideRocket product tour.

TinEye——令人惊异的图片搜索引擎
在网海中漫游，我总是随波逐流从而迷失最初的目标方向。
今晨收看订阅的OUseful.info邮件，看到其受纽约时报利用IBM的Many Eyes所作的视觉化交互式浏览北京奥运金牌榜的启发，也用IBM的Many Eyes制作了多种Treemaps视觉形式的奥运金牌榜。
通过google查阅Many Eyes又发现了台湾的“創新使用者互動介面研究 (UIUI)”，由该博客又发现了TinEye图片搜索引擎。
TinEye最神奇的是——它是第一个使用图片识别技术，通过图片搜索图片的搜索引擎。它不仅告诉你与你提供的图片相同的图片（甚至是修改后使用的图片）出自哪个网页，而且可以将你提供的原始图片与搜索到的图片进行比对。
比如，我将原来自己搜藏的图片上传TinEye后，我又进一步发现了该作者更多神奇作品,甚至他作画过程的视频。
从TinEye的演示视频看，它还可以通过颜色、色彩组合、及相近元素等来搜索。真正是神奇的搜索引擎。它的问世对艺术设计人员来说无疑是最大的福音。

优质教学的十项秘诀1
Zaid Ali Alsagoff根据几年来他对高等教育的观察、自身的体验、学习及阅读，总结出构成优质教学的十项秘诀。然后利用三个工具(PowerPoint, Adobe Presente, Windows Movie Maker)将该体会制作成一个slidecast发布在TeacherTube上。
这三个软件的分工是：利用PowerPoint制作幻灯片，利用Adobe Presente录制声音，利用Windows Movie Maker再将利用前两个工具制作的PNG格式文件转换成的幻灯片与Mp3格式的声音文件进行整合，最后分别在YouTube、TeacherTube和Google Video上进行发布。
Part1部分，介绍了四项秘诀：
1. Passion激情:
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires."-William Arthur Ward.
2. Explore探索:
“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds.” Anatole France.
3. Engage参与:
“After ten minutes, students attention will steadily drop, do something emotionally relevant at each 10 minute mark to regain attention.” Dr. John Medina
4. AHA啊哈:
Learning Pyramid. Students attention from passive to active: Lecture, Reading, Audiovisual, Demonstration, Discussion Group, Practice by Doing, Teaching Others.
第一项，即优质的教学是富有激情的，就像William Arthur Ward所说，平庸的老师只是告诉学生事实，好老师只是解释疑惑，优秀的教师是证明原理，而伟大的教师则是激发学生的热情。
第二项，即优质的教学就是探索真理，整个教学的艺术就是唤醒年轻人先天富有的好奇心的艺术。
第三项，优质的教学就是积极的投入，就是当学生的注意力不能集中时，能够采用有效的办法重新赢得学生的注意力。
第四项，即“啊哈”，有些让人看不懂。在他列举的学习金字塔中，可以看出教育他人是最能引发学生积极参与的办法，而只是简单地听课可能是最消极的、最低效的学习方法。

两则Ning的应用案例
今天(08年7月18日）从OUseful上看到两个Ning的应用案例：
1.英国布拉福德大学(Bradford University)应用Ning创建了供学生网上会面、交谈的网站:Develop me-develop me, support me, engage me! 发展自己——发展自己，支持自己、投入自己。
2.英国威尔士大学（Wales University, Newport）应用Ning创建的Newspace是一个帮助新生和潜在的学生了解该大学的一个社会性网络站点，学生证未注册入学前都可以成为网站会员。

解决金山词霸2005与IE冲突问题
金山词霸2005专业版安装后，又遇到了与IE的冲突问题，被告知：“……该内存不能为‘written’”。从网上搜索到一些解决办法，尝试后成功解决问题，我采用的方法如下：
1.在金山词霸的安装目录下找到NETWORK.INI文件，将文件改为：
[update]
url=
即将原网址去掉或更改成别的网址，以中断词霸序列号后台校验功能。
2.从CSDN上（需要注册，只有会员才有资格下载文件）下载文件xdictgrb.dll替换金山词霸安装目录下的同名文件。
我使用了上述两种方法，第一种未解决问题，第二种成功了。据解释，这说明我的系统一定是WINXPSP2的系统，这是由于金山词霸和WINXP的SP2有冲突造成的，更换这个动态链接库就好了。
一切OK！

即将原网址去掉或更改成别的网址，以中断词霸序列号后台校验功能。
2.从CSDN上（需要注册，只有会员才有资格下载文件）下载文件xdictgrb.dll替换金山词霸安装目录下的同名文件。
我使用了上述两种方法，第一种未解决问题，第二种成功了。据解释，这说明我的系统一定是WINXPSP2的系统，这是由于金山词霸和WINXP的SP2有冲突造成的，更换这个动态链接库就好了。
一切OK！

解决无法打开internet选项及无法下载软件问题
自从用上东芝M802笔记本后，问题不断。先是MSN无法运行，接着其他一些程序也无法运行了，没有办法，一键恢复了vista系统，暂时能用MSN了，但分区剩一个了。王勇帮忙分出了D盘（虽然仅有40G），而且很快问题又重现了，MSN又无法用了。咨询李柯，从“计算机/管理/服务”里停用了一些服务，但问题仍未解决。接着安装安全卫士360、小红伞，然后查找系统漏洞、杀毒等等，结果同样。又一次一件恢复、分区，接着又停用了若干服务。终于MSN能用了。
今天当希望下载一软件时，新问题出现了：软件无法下载，而且internet选项无法打开。郁闷！结果一天都耗在了解决这两个问题上。
1.解决internet选项打不开的问题
网上介绍了很多种方法，包括注册表修改、组策略，用记事本写代码等，注册表中没有找到相应的项，组策略根本无法进入，记事本写的代码文件无法保存……。忙了一天几乎都无法解决，反反复复在控制面板中也往返了多次，始终未找到办法。最后终于从“网络和internet”发现了“internet选项。
2.解决vista下，无法下载软件问题
打开“Interner选项”后，点击“安全”选项卡，将“本地连接”和“Internet连接”下的“启用保护模式”前的选项去掉。
最后，如果再在下载时出现关闭情况的话，再试下点击“高级”选项卡，重置IE的设置。
这样，下载问题就解决了。

恢复360doc的弹出窗口
360doc的弹出窗口无论是修改“工具”中的禁用“弹出窗口阻止程序”，还是在“Internet选项/隐私”中填入360doc网址，使其成为总是被允许访问的站点，或单击工具条中“拦截”按钮等，都无法使360doc弹出窗口现身。最后从google中的“Toolbar for Internet Explorer”中，发现了解决之道。非常简单，仅需两个步骤，一切问题就迎刃而解：
1.Visit the site and click the Pop-up blocker button. 访问你要去的网站（当然是需要弹出窗口的网站），点击google的“弹出拦截按钮”。
The button text changes to read Popups okay, indicating that the Pop-up blocker has been disabled on that site.
2.If the Pop-up blocker is preventing a new window from opening, you can press the Ctrl key while clicking a link to let a new window open from a "blocked" site.如果弹出阻止钮阻止了新窗口的打开，你可以在点击连接的时候，按着Ctrl键，这样新窗口就从打开了。
这一招真的很灵！
