This document discusses password generators and password keychains. It recommends using a password generator to create secure passwords and combining that with a password keychain to store all passwords in a single encrypted database that can be accessed with a master password. Examples of password generators that are standalone programs or browser extensions are provided, as well as examples of free and paid-for password keychain software for Mac and PC.
This document discusses password generators and password keychains. It recommends using a password generator to create secure passwords and combining that with a password keychain to store all passwords for easy access behind a single master password. The keychains KeePass and RoboForm are mentioned as options, with KeePass being a free open-source option for Mac and PC while RoboForm is not free but available on PC.
When I turned my web writing job into this “content strategy” thing back in 2008, I thought I’d hit the jackpot: Finally, I had the tools to solve the problems that plagued my projects. Content wasn’t left ’til last, projects weren’t delayed, concerns weren’t limited to design and development. Win, win, win.
But then some terrible someone always came along to spoil my party. I’d make a style guide; the authors would stop following it. I’d work out a content model; the designer would insist on an interface it couldn’t support. I’d go through the audit results; the client would smile, nod...and go back to business as usual. I wanted to make content meaningful. Instead, I was making documents. I was making fantasies. Sometimes, I was even making enemies.
I was overwhelmed, overworked, and disappointed—until I changed the way I saw my role. Instead of tying things up with a bow and delivering it to others’ doorsteps, I learned how to make the work theirs instead—to create strategy with them, not for them.
In this talk, I share the ways I overhauled how I work, and how that’s led to more successful projects and more satisfying client relationships.
What you don't know will hurt you: Designing with and for existing contentSara Wachter-Boettcher
Are you trying to make responsive design scale for a complex site? Building an app, but your organization doesn't have an API yet? If so, you've probably got legacy content—content that already exists, and that doesn't fit neatly into your new project.
What do you do? You could ignore it and end up with one of those responsive homepages that devolve into big content blobs after just one tap, or a one-off mobile site that no one can remember to maintain. You could put it off until it becomes the bane of your existence: the thing that "breaks" your design, because it's way messier than you’ve planned for. Or, you could deal with it.
The document discusses managing content processes and provides strategies for implementing content management successfully. It recommends (1) putting content at the core by developing a content strategy, (2) finding what is realistic given constraints, and (3) setting people up for success through training, tools and clarifying processes. Treating content as a parallel process to design is key to creating better content with less pain.
Responsive. Adaptive. Mobile first. Cross-channel. We all want a web that's more flexible, future-friendly, and ready for unknowns. There’s only one little flaw: Our content is stuck in the past. Locked into inflexible pages and documents, our content is far from ready for today's world of apps, APIs, read-later services, and responsive sites—much less for the coming one, where the web is embedded in everything from autos to appliances.
We can't keep creating more content for each of these new devices and channels. We'd go nuts trying to manage and maintain all of it. Instead, we need content that does more for us: Content that's structured and defined so it can travel and shift while keeping its meaning and message intact. Content that's trim, focused, and clear—for mobile users and for everyone else, too. Content that matters, wherever it's being consumed.
But it's not just that our content is stuck. Truth is, our organizations and clients are stuck, too—and unless we, web professionals of all stripes, take the lead to do things differently, they won't be able to keep up. In this session, well start with revisiting our legacy content and adding the structure and metadata we'll need to make it more flexible. Then, we'll also tackle the heart of the problem: organizational cultures that are terrified of change.
The document summarizes the key challenges that organizations face in managing digital content and proposes better approaches to address these challenges. The three main challenges are: 1) a mass-production mentality where content creation roles are not tied to business goals, 2) compartmentalized teams that do not communicate across departments, and 3) an obsession with control that prevents organizations from adapting to change. The document advocates using mobile as an entry point to drive organizational change, investing deeply in collaborative teamwork rather than just providing solutions, and facilitating participation from those affected by the work from the start.
Great content is human, refreshing, and relatable—not robotic. But the more users expect content to cross devices and platforms, the more we need to think like our robot friends.
No designer can lay out thousands of pages to make sure every possible permutation of a large responsive site looks right. No Readability editor can review every article someone saves and decide which elements are important. No magical elf can add cross-reference links to every deep layer of content.
Instead, we must rely on systems that automatically determine how content should be assembled, rendered, formatted, and connected. And the more we understand how these systems work, the better we can put them to work at ensuring our content stays lively and lovable, wherever it goes.

WordCamp Ireland - 40 tips for WordPress OptimizationJoost de Valk
The document outlines 40 tips for optimizing a WordPress website in 40 minutes. It discusses improving load times through plugins like W3 Total Cache, optimizing content for search engines by using proper titles and internal linking, maintaining the site through backups and spam cleaning, engaging visitors through email subscriptions and comments, and measuring results with analytics tools. The overall message is that optimizing a WordPress site requires implementing these types of techniques on an ongoing basis.
The document discusses process improvement and identifies some common topics discussed by "gurus" or experts in the field. It notes that while gurus often disagree and write books on different aspects like statistics, bottlenecks, stakeholders, or measurement, the real secret is actually quite simple - to stop doing "stupid stuff." It further explains that "stupid stuff" is anything customers would be unwilling to pay for. The document then outlines seven types of waste or "stupidity" identified by process expert Tim Woods, including transportation, intellectual, motion, waiting, overproduction, overprocessing, and defects. It notes an 8th type added by others is excess stock. The summary is to stop waste and focus on customer value to

Introduction to the web2practice project presented at the JISC conference 2009. This project will produce guides to how emergent technologies can enhance the practice of researchers, lectures and administrators.
This document provides links to various online applications and websites for organizing, editing, and sharing photos online. Some of the applications mentioned allow users to add effects or filters to photos, create collages, turn photos into puzzles or paintings, or generate slideshows with music and captions. Many of the applications allow embedding or sharing creations on blogs, wikis, or social media. Registering may be required to access some advanced features on some sites. Overall, the document introduces a wide range of free online tools for manipulating and presenting photos digitally.
This document summarizes the request and response process in Joomla. It explains that when a request is made, Joomla loads the framework and initializes the application. It then fires the onAfterInitialise event, which is used by system plugins. It routes the request and fires the onAfterRoute event, then dispatches the request and fires onAfterDispatch. After rendering, it fires onAfterRoute which plugins like cache and SEF use. Finally, it sends the response.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of the productBanke Racheal
The author learned how to use Photoshop and other programs more effectively through creating their product. They used Photoshop, which they had some prior knowledge of but gained a stronger understanding by using it for this project. They took photos with a camera and struggled early on with using layers in Photoshop correctly. The author analyzed the pros and cons of the camera, Photoshop, and Weebly blog platform they used, noting issues like limited camera access but that Photoshop allows for many creative features.
The document discusses the Ebeam, an interactive whiteboard that allows teachers to create slides with text, images, and video and use them on any surface like a regular whiteboard. It can provide limitless whiteboard space, support PowerPoint games and Kagan software, and allow the use of interactive websites and small group work. The document also provides instructions on how to add pictures and troubleshoot issues with the Ebeam, and encourages asking questions.
The document discusses the importance of monitoring systems to prevent outages and reduce the time it takes to discover problems. It recommends immediately backing up databases and monitoring all backups to prevent data loss from future issues. Over time, the infrastructure should be developed using a monitoring-driven approach where monitors iterate the infrastructure and drive infrastructure work to match needs before issues occur. This helps ensure problems are addressed proactively rather than feeling it is always "just too late".
It's not what you've got, it's how you use it...ePortfolios in actionHazel Owen
The document discusses ePortfolios, which are digital collections that allow individuals to showcase their work, skills, and achievements. An ePortfolio can include career planning, work experience, learning goals, discipline-specific work, reflections, and assessments. The document notes that ePortfolios are used by students, education practitioners, and professionals across various sectors and countries as a way to showcase information and maintain career currency. Considerations for using ePortfolios include choosing proprietary, open source, or web-based platforms.
The document discusses various technologies used in creating a magazine project. These include a MacBook Pro for work at home, iMacs and computers at school, Photoshop for designing the magazine layout, a Canon camera for taking photos, a memory stick for transferring files between devices, Microsoft Word for writing articles, Scribd and Slideshare for uploading documents and presentations online, Dropbox for sharing feedback privately, Twitter for communicating with teachers and peers, and an iPhone for coordinating with the magazine model.
Teenagers are more interested in bold colors, flashy effects like Flash games and puzzles, and content that loads quickly rather than perfectly crafted designs. They want things that will annoy teachers and help them beat friends in games. While some design elements like rounded corners are appreciated, web design for teenagers should prioritize speed, interactive elements, and bold styles over meticulous technical perfection.
A presentation for the CoETaIL course 3: http://www.coetail.asia/page/Course+3
A combination of 2 previous presentations (Designing Compelling Presentations & Making a Lasting Impression) used for the Flat Classroom Workshop at the 21st Century Learning Conference in Hong Kong, September 2009.

It outlines lessons learned like involving IT, legal and security early and treating users as customers. It also discusses the impact of connectivity on individuals and organizations as well as the future direction of connecting people. The document provides context for a discussion on how businesses can better connect with customers and employees through Web 2.0 principles.
Take photo with kinect and share on facebook fan page, for windows or linux. Hermes Alves
The document outlines requirements for developing an application that allows users to take photos of themselves using a Kinect, see themselves on screen, and share the photos to a Facebook fan page. The application would include options to retake photos, add a logo watermark, and configure settings via file for icons, logo, and Facebook page. The project source code would be public in a Bitbucket Git repository as open source.
What have you learnt about technologies from thegraceleake1
The document discusses various technologies the author learned about through creating a project. The author discusses learning about zooming and focusing a Canon camera lens, inserting SD cards, uploading and deleting footage from memory cards, getting used to the layout of Apple desktops and learning copy/paste functions, editing video clips and adding effects in iMovie, uploading videos and accessing blogs on ePortfolios, uploading PowerPoints to SlideShare, and creating effective layouts using Prezi.
The document describes the author's passion for video game development which originated from childhood dreams of being an astronaut or firefighter. While those were childhood aspirations, the author's love for video games led them to pursue a career making games. They have experience with programming, 3D modeling, and working on game design elements like menus and screens. Their ideal work environment would be at a large company like 343 Industries or independently from a small home office. Ultimately, their definition of success would be to create games that people enjoy playing through a career in the video game industry.

These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
