How to extend your LRC class booking to the entire term by adding weekly recurrence

2013/01/09 1 comment
  1. The single screenshot booking FAQ mentions recurrence briefly. If you failed to add recurrence when you booked the LRC for your class, you can likely still add it:
  2. Go to your NINERMAIL calendar, open your “meeting”, like so: adding-recurrence1
    1. if the (1) recurrence indicator is missing or if, when browsing your NINERMAIL calendar for the term, your class booking shows up not every week, only during the first?
    2. Then (2) open your class booking by double-clicking on it.
  3. In the window of your class booking, do these steps (use your own class times, not the ones in the example)
    1. note how the (1) tooltip for the “repetition” dialogue says “repeat”;
    2. classes meet (2) “weekly”, but more complex schedules can also be set up (“repeat every x week”)
    3. don’t forget to (4) “end by” the last day of classes.
  4. adding-recurrence
  5. You will receive an immediate response from the LRC classroom in your NINERMAIL inbox. Check it for and report any problems that you cannot resolve to the LRC reception desk.adding-recurrence2

How you can share MS-Office files via MS-OneNote instead of directly through MS-SkyDrive

  1. Simple steps:
    1. Drag and drop your MS-Office File to your MS-OneNote page.
    2. When prompted, choose to “insert a copy” (rather than merely linking the original file). image
    3. This puts a copy of the file in the MS-OneNote folder on your local drive,
    4. which (file and folder) gets synched with your online (MS-SkyDrive) version,
    5. which, if you shared it, gets synched with the MS-OneNote folder on the local drive of the PC of the person you are sharing with,
    6. who, by double-clicking, can open and edit his synched local version of MS-Office file in the corresponding MS-Office application.
  2. Stepping back:
      1. Benefit: If you have a working MS-OneNote-based workflow, embedding MS-Office file can quickly extend this workflow.
      2. Risk: If you do not share the MS-OneNote with other editors, you should have no problem. Be aware, though, that concurrency is limited. Unlike accessing the MS-Office file in MS-Office through Office Web apps from MS-SkyDrive directly, editing the MS-Office file from MS-OneNote does not block updating the MS-Office file on remote computers – so expect synching conflicts later if you do not manage concurrency (e.g. by limiting editing sessions).

Why MS-OneNote may let you run out of storage space here

I am running into out of file space issues in a number of applications. Turns out that OneNote is the culprit, but it is not obvious from the OneNote Save & Backup why: image

The Reason is that Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote gets redirected to the personal network drive:\My documents folder, the disk quota for which is limited:
