How to display Furigana phonetic guide for Japanese Kanji in MS-Word 2010

2012/02/21 1 comment
  1. Furigana uses Kana (usually Hiragana) to phonetically transcribe Kanji, above (for horizontally written Kanji) or to the right (if in vertical writing mode), for special characters or audiences (children and second language learners).
  2. In MS-Office, if you have a Japanese Input Method Editor selected in MS-Windows, select some Kanji and in the ribbon, under tab: home, section: font; click on the Phonetic guide, to bring up a dialogue that attempts to auto detect the furigana.
  3. You can make adjustments there, click “OK “to insert. Like so:

How to fix Canon Vixia “Cannot write on card” error when starting recording by initializing

2012/02/15 Leave a comment
  1. To fix this error,
    1. go to: Menu / Function / Tools / Tab: / menu item: Initialize – choose the card slot A or B with the mal-formatted card.
    2. or view how to access the initializing procedure here TBA
  2. To avoid this problem: You may get this error after you the SD card has been formatted in another device but the camera (e.g. on your computer, using a memory card reader). If you are trying to delete footage, initialize the card within the camera instead. This page is taken from the Vixia manual, the full manual you can find linked in our list of bookable resources under Vixia.

2012/02/07 Leave a comment
  1. The LRC student PC image contains a file C:\temp\screencastfullhighaudio.wme
  2. Doubleclick or run the file, in the encoder window that comes up, click the green menu button to record your screen.
  3. When done demonstrating on screen, swtich back to the encoder window and click the red button to stop recording.
  4. Rename and archive (the student hard drive is “frozen”) the screencast video output file which you will find in c:\temp\screencast.wmv.

How to improve learning center staff communications using Windows Live Messenger instant group messaging through live@edu. A running log

2012/02/02 Leave a comment
    1. Our 1st line of support – student temp staff – is not able to answer all questions and troubleshoot all issues that LRC clients come up with.
    2. We are experimenting with enabling quick escalation of issues from 1st line to 2nd and 3rd line using instant messaging.
    3. live@edu provided our university staff and student accounts with access to Windows Live Messenger instant messaging, including useful sub features
      1. presence: see faster who is (or is not) there to help you by the colored presence icons. The convention in MS software is a green ball for available:presence-outlook
      2. group messaging: UNCC-LRC created and invited to a “LRC Staff” group that includes student temp and permanent staff.
    4. Here is what comes up when temp staff logs into the computer (sorry, no linking to Windows user IDs, but then again, we do not have this form of single sign-on in our other systems either): wlmessenger-notificationwlmessenger
      1. Here are the options we start with (which need refinement)

Failure due to timeouts when capturing image from Symantec-Ghost

2012/02/01 Leave a comment
  1. do not thin I Have not seen that before: image capture starts successfully, but  client times out in the middle; happens repeatedly both during the day and at night?
  2. symantec-client-timed-out
  3. What else to try? symantec-client-timed-out1
  4. Solution/workaround: inconclusive. First try w/o Deepfreeze installed and with high compression worked. But third try without any changes had also finally succeeded (although deploying that image was not tested).
