Sanako Web browsing activity not compatible with modern web infrastructure (SunGard Portal, Outlook Web Access)?
- To access campus resources – here an assignment in a Moodle course – our students need to log into a SunGard portal (with SSO – a pretty common product in higher education)l, but already the redirection after login fails with this session expiration error.
- We could work around this problem by browsing to the target site and logging into Moodle directly. But our students normally do not know how to do that.
- More problems arose when students tried to open an email in their campus OWA, in a popup window, which, however, gets redirected to the first browser homepage.
- This was during an “open/prevent policy” web browsing-activity, where – to keep students on task – only certain sites (social web, webmail) were blocked.., as can be seen in this screenshot:
Save the web, with Clip to OneNote
No, I don’t mean save from proprietary vendors or from spies 
– I mean: save it to your personal storage during web browsing, like so:

Bugs in MS-Calendaranalytics?
- Is there an Off-by-1 bug in MS-Calendaranalytics pivot chart?
- I am hovering (as an example) over the first name in the upper list which displays the right name as tooltip, the first name in the second list
- I guess I could learn DAX to fix this one myself, but what I have found myself doing is copy/paste the legend control from underneath, which does not exhibit this apparent bug, as a screenshot over the wrong legend (Seems strangely inadequate!).

File renaming utilities
When working with foreign language (learning) digital media files electronic repositories, typical problems include having to:
- adding metadata information to the filename
- handling of foreign language characters in filenames across operating and file systems, including code pages
A good file renaming utility can work wonders in such situations.
I have been using the excellent BRU (Bulk rename utility) for a while, and always liked its flexibility – which is apparent from in its (initially somewhat intimidating) UI:
Now I found to my surprise, and confirmed with the help of the support forum, that the foreign language character support is lacking from BRU’s Regular Expression implementation.
Enter Renamer, another file renaming utility, which features a stable and beta version, pdf documentation and a wiki.
As you can see in the following screenshot, Renamer makes it possible, using Unicode character codes in Regular Expressions, to replace e.g. all Mandarin characters in a filename.
Renamer also has in-built support for common tasks like cleaning up filenames by stripping common tags, transliterating foreign alphabets or adding file numbering (serializing).
Both utilities are free and highly recommended, but also see TBA:part II for limitations.
