Logging off fails on teacher station?
2011/12/08
Leave a comment
- Symptoms: Cannot log off.
- Diagnostics:
- Not even after taskkilling so far (got to around “S” in process name initials)).
- When did this behavior first manifest itself? This week? MS-Office 2010 upgrade? Novell upgrade?
- Not even after taskkilling so far (got to around “S” in process name initials)).
- Workaround: Current best workaround is power-cycling the computer.
- Solution: Problem seems to have disappeared. Cause and resolution unclear, though.
PowerPoint 2010 upgrade from 2007 disables setup show display on secondary screen
2011/12/06

- Symptom: Without hardware changes (a visualizer that seemed to enter into the equation as an AV source seems to have been ruled out as culprit), PowerPoint cannot display show from primary right screen to secondary left screen.
- Cause: Upgrade to PowerPoint 2010 from 2007, but seems really an underlying video driver limitation that has given us grieve in our – admittedly uncommon: 1024*768 on secondary, projector-connected screen, dictated by the projector – setup before.
- Workaround: Make the 1024*768 left screen the primary screen.
- Upside: this allows to project the show to the class, but teacher can still move the underlying PowerPoint presentation onto the right screen (for previewing answers. The PowerPoint 2010 upgrade did fix the PowerPoint 2007 bug that interactive animations from PowerPoint 2003 where briefly revealed on slide load before they went into the default hidden state).
- Downsides:
- Presenter view is still not possible, complains about seeing only one screen connected, even though “Check” button brings up the windows screen properties dual screen.
- The Windows taskbar displays on the left screen, so teacher staging is visible to the class when projector is on (as it always was with a single screen. Only the secondary right screen added a staging area for the teacher).
- Presenter view is still not possible, complains about seeing only one screen connected, even though “Check” button brings up the windows screen properties dual screen.
- Upside: this allows to project the show to the class, but teacher can still move the underlying PowerPoint presentation onto the right screen (for previewing answers.

How to set up SDL-Trados 2009 Licensing Server
2011/11/24
Leave a comment
No time getting this post in shape since SDL is keeping me on my toes by changing the licensing infrastructure for 2011 (abandoned FlexLM), but for what it is worth: the difficultty with FLexLM was managing the licensing service from the proviced GUI, I had to resort to restarting it manually through services.msc. 
Is there a better way to cross-link within Joomla?

- I find my best bet to find anything in the hyperlink dialogue is to go to the published site and search for the article. Here I finally found the article in questions, knowing that it lived (“had been filed”?) in “uncategorized”, which the site search results kindly let me know:
- Obviously you do want to use the internal URL which should survive DNS-related changes.
