How to find out whether you have access to your classroom early (e.g. for setup tasks), by using the R25 calendar

- Go to http://calendar.uncc.edu/, and follow these steps:
- (1) switch to view by “locations” instead of (the default) “events”,
- (2) select your building,
- (3) find your classroom,
- (4) see whether it is blocked=booked before your class (hover over the block to see by what) –
- in order to browse to your classroom’s schedule – for example, you could also just (5) search for your classroom.
- Sorry, unlike in the LRC calendars from MS-Exchange, here
- no direct links to your room’s schedule;
- no simple flexible booking, even though there seems to be a need for one-time bookings (AFAIK, I did not venture behind the screen after top menu: “Reservation request” since I do not know how to answer its question).

Animated GIFs workflow using MS-OneNote, MS-Paint, Irfanview and UnFREEZ

- To keep things simple (and, at least in our work environment, free) during smaller Animated GIF projects (larger projects may warrant use of ImageMagick, scriptable image editor), you can use
- MS-OneNote screen clipping (configured right, it seems the fastest way to collect source material)
- Update: I recommend now screenshotcaptor instead, if you do screenshot projects more than occasionally. MS-Paint (or pretty much any image editor) to mark up your images
- IrfanView to batch convert to GIF:
- UnFreez to easily create animated GIFs in differing speeds:
, which can be automated.
