Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Sometimes Everything Breaks

I had all kinds of plans for today. I was going to record my lectures using Camtasia and post them on our intranet for an adoring public. Unfortunately fate had other plans.

Even after testing it still turns out that things can break. And then some. Vista shut down the tablet. Three times. Even though I was in the middle of a presentation. Of course, my plugging in the tablet power supply and neglecting to turn it on may have had something to do with this. My remote mouse failed to control Powerpoint, even though it worked with everything else. The presentation recordings were interrupted and out of sync. And to make matters even worse, they had my voice on them. Not good.

I'm going to try again, of course, but I think this serves as a lesson to us all that even if you try to do everything right, it can still all go wrong.

That was an awesome lecture! Sorry Camtasia did not work, but all the talk of not having s*** falling on your head was awesome! Cannot wait untill the next one! Thankyou!

Macbooks are for people who likes things in a very simple form though.
