About learning, technology and raising kids…
You all know the allegory of the cave, by Plato. This is what I try to achieve with this blog: leaving the cave to discover new ideas and share my ideas...
Last week I used Adobe’s Captivate 5 for the first time to produce small e-learning topics. Once the topics were published (SWF), the text captions looked blurry. I recognized the problem from previous versions. It had everything to do with anti-aliasing. So I searched the option to disable the anti-aliasing. What do you think, the [...]
This week I had to use Adobe Presenter for the first time. The version used was 7.0.2 with PowerPoint 2007. Some things worth mentioning: Not all SmartArt with animations are supported. The information about the .5 update stated SmartArt was supported. This technote however, clarified my issues with 3D rotation. The quiz possibilities are limited, [...]
My daughter (2y 8m) recently gained the privilege to play solo with my iPod Touch. First lesson learned was: create a page with all apps for her. And that was all I needed to do. She figured most of it out all by herself. This is the best example. I installed Toddler Puzzle Shapes and told her nothing. [...]
Last week, I found some interesting tweets in my stream. Here are the most interesting one: What about Odijoo? Some people must set their priorities straight! Awesome physics based Flash games. Keeping an eye on your online reputation. Hopefully next week is as fruitful.

An former collegue of mine posted this on Facebook: The ancient ancestor of the iPad:
Having been ill this week, I had some time to fiddle around with a few open source CMSs. I first tried out Joomla, because I read on twitter that a collegue of mine had used it before. Installation was smooth and easy. Once installed, I was totally lost. A huge learning curve doomed before my [...]
Some time ago I found a picture on Twitter that reminded me of ancient Latin graffiti, found in Pompei. It could be written on a wall there (and probably is, in a movie like A Funny Thing Happened On My Way To The Forum). Texts like: I detest beggars. If somebody asks for something for [...]
This blog has moved to my own domain and looks brand new. Expect more posts in the coming weeks…
I noticed on twitter that several people did a 365 project in 2009. It seemed interesting to try it myself as well. My reasons for doing it, are these: I believe my life is rather dull. Being asked to make a new picture every day, will force me to look at my life from a [...]
