New Designer Trying To learn

Hi all,
I am new to the field of ID. I have been an educator for 10
years but am trying to learn as much about all the e-learning
software that is available, Captivate, Camtasia, Articulate, etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting that first job or
contract? It seems that they all want experience (at least 3
years). I feel like a kid coming out of college again. Does anyone
have any ideas or any projects that I can "intern" on or work on so
that I can get some experience or solid things to create a
portfolio with?
Any suggestion provided is helpful to me.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

    I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone.  Help!

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

    I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text  or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

    The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

    Hi, I just now saw this post. it looks like you are trying
    several
    methods to center the table.
    <body><div class="centered"></div>
    <table width="760" align="center" cellpadding="0"
    cellspacing="0">
    (The rest of the table)
    </body>
    </html>
    Either method works, you don't have to do it twice. :)
    Your table is centered in IE 6 on XP Pro SP2, are you still
    not seeing
    it centered? Try emptying your cache.
    You can ditch every single font tag; you're using CSS in the
    head, so
    just do this:
    body {
    background: #62758C;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center;
    background-image: url(images/backgroundimage.gif);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    Everything is a "child" of the body, so you don't have to
    have this in
    your other style definitions unless you wanta different font
    for some
    style.
    Hope this helps!

  • I'm trying to learn and I think the knowledge is here!

    Hi! i'm always trying to learn and pass forward.  I'm not here to cause trouble. I have some things that I would like to have confirmed or denied. I do not own a HP computer at this time, but several of the residents in my village do. I have observed some great advice to community members from some smart people here on the forum. I have some things that I have learned from other forums and I want to share them. I would like to have comments from all the smart members here on the community forum. OK here we go!!
    Let's say we have a PC that won't boot into windows for some reason. Now IMHO, we have software or hardware problems.
    This is what I do. I down load a linux program. It's called Pupply Love.http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm
    This is a ISO file that you burn to a CD. It is a live CD and you can boot with it. You do not need a HD.
    Even if your PC has no hard disk (ex, broken hard disk), you can still boot Puppy via CD or USB and continue working. Old PCs that no longer work with new systems will still work good-as-new with Puppy.
    Now IMHO, you have proved that your monitor,power supply, and CPU are working. So now the HD is left. There are many ways to test your HD. One that comes to my mind is seatools dos.http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/seatools-dos-master/
    One way to test your memory is memtest86.http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
    memtest and seatools dos are both live CD's and should boot even if you don't have a working OS.
    Another live CD is the system repair CD  and the system recovery discs that you should have created on day one.
    I realize that HP has some great tools and I'm hoping that a guru will reply to this thread and add their comments. This is the way I learn. Computers can be a pain in the neck, but us humans can hold our own if we are willing to learn and pass forward to others.
    Dokie!!
    PS I take criticisms pretty well! This thread can be deleted if it is out of line or does not meet the standards of the forum. Some times I get a little windy and carried away.

    Hi Leo! If you can stop these down load managers, you will be my hero.
    Dokie!!
    PS I have tried my best to warn members here on the forum, but I haven't got a lot of support so far.
    I have my figers crossed that the new team will get-er-done

  • Missing Features in the new design preview

    So today Microsoft officially unveiled the new design preview for Skype for Windows desktop that we have been able to test on a field trial basis or by manipulating the URL to download.
    Apart from the new design, this new version also brings a change in philosophy regarding group conversations and a very impactful removal of features for them.
    At first I want to talk about an issue that has been part of the mobile releases for a long time, the removal of names for group conversations. In the good old Skype world, every group conversation had two parts to display the members of a group and the context of conversation that was happening in them, the name and the topic. With the new design though, the option to name your groups is gone. This means that instead of showing a familiar, easy to remember and recognize name, the contact list now shows the topic, a often (maybe?) changing and not representing the members of said conversation, as the name.
    My favorite example on why this is bad is the following: Let's say you have more than one group of friends (hey, it happens) on Skype to talk about different things. One is your football club and the others are the chess dudes. You obviously name those groups "The sports guys" and "The chess guys" for your own sanity and ease of use in identifying them in your list. Both groups often have a similar topic set, mostly the date of the next meeting.
    Now, with the new design, you are left with two entries in your contact list, both conveniently named "Next meeting at 5pm". Now what? Which one is which? No way to know at a simple glance. You really have to open the group and look at the members list to really know.
    As a person who has been using Skype for group conversations for years and years, this really grinds my gears and I have been trying to get the developers attentions in varius threads on this forums, for once in the Android section (http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Wrong-behaviour-in-group-conversations/td-p/1968699) where this problem has existed for a looong time and over more private channels and app feedback.
    Now the only time when you can change the name of a group is when you create it. While in a previous version of the design preview, the option was still called "Change name..." as it is in the Android version, the latest release now correctly shows "Change topic.." because that is what it does, good job! I'd still like to be able to change the name independently from the topic.
    The next bug is minor and about group conversation pictures, in the new design, it's no longer possible to add pictures to the header of groups, they just don't show up when you add them also the existing ones don't show in the contact list.

    As I can't edit, I need to mention that I was kinda wrong about that, it reverts to showing the topic instead of the name in the contact list after a while, maybe after it syncs? Anyway, it still does it wrong. 

  • Trying to learn about threads

    Hi guys,
    I'm trying to learn more about threads......i've written a small program for a better understand, but i don't understand the order of the output i'm getting:
    public class testme {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Theshape mover = new Theshape("go");
         mover.start();
    System.out.println ("checkpoint 1");
    System.out.println ("checkpoint 2");
         }//main
    }//class testme
    class Theshape extends Thread {
    public int count;
    public String thego;
    Theshape (String gg){
         thego= gg;
    count=0;
    }//constructor
    public void run(){
    try {
    do{
    System.out.println (thego);
    sleep(1000);
    System.out.println ("johnny");
    count=count+1;
    }while(count<8);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
    }//run          
    }//class theshape
    ........the output i get is:
    checkpoint 1
    checkpoint 2
    go
    johnny
    go
    johnny
    go
    johnny
    go
    johnny
    go
    johnny
    go
    johnny
    go
    johnny
    go
    johnny
    I would like to know why "checkpoint 1" and "checkpoint 2" is printed first, even though the call to the run method is made before the two statements. i would have thought that the two checkpoint statements would be printed last.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Zaf

    After you've issued the 'mover.start()' call, a new thread pops into existence. The first thread (your main thread) continues to run while the second thread prepares itself to start up. On your machine, this startup takes a (little) while, so your main thread is able to print those two line just before the other thread is able to print something. That's all there is to it. If you put a 'Thread.sleep(1234)' between those two println statements in your main thread, the output would probably be a bit different. Give it a try.
    kind regards,
    Jos

  • Trying to learn to code div tag so that i can make 3 columns

    Hello,
    I am trying to learn how to work with the code for div's in Dreamweaver.
    I have a id for the main container named wrapper that is 900px wide and I have 3 div's inside of it that are just long blocks of type . Each div (#history, #attitudes, #per) is 300px wide with the height falling to accommodate the type. I want then next to each other, and right now they are just one long column with the 3 sections..each have a different background color. Here is the code so far...I am trying to play with the float and positioning but nothing I do works.  In the End, it should just be 3 columns of type next to each other. Each column has one header tag for the topic name and the rest is just using the p body tag. can someone help me get the columns next to one another using the code?
    thanks!

  • Trying to learn Spry Framework Ajax

    So I am trying to learn how to use Spry Framwork for Ajax;
    which I downloaded from
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/
    Does anyone know if this some how plugs into Dreamweaver 8 or
    if I wish to use it, "the Photo Gallery to be specific", that I
    have to manually manipulate the code to use my photos and then
    implement their html into my template?

    With DW8, you will have to use the Spry Framework manually.
    It's built into
    the new Dreamweaver CS3.

  • HT4783 I'm trying to learn how to use Airdrop between my wife's Mac and mine. We both have it, but this article did not help us learn HOW to share files.  Yippeee that we can...but HOW?

    My wife and I are trying to learn how to use Air Drop.  The "tutorial" showed us where it is.  It came up.  I saw hers (Mac).  She saw mine (Mac). But where to go after that is, apparently, in the cloud somewhere.  The description says we can share files...which is nice...but nothing tells us HOW to share those files. 
    Thanks for your help out there...
    Dennis

    1. Open a new Finder window or use one that's already open
    2. Click on Airdrop, press Shift+Command+R, or find "Airdrop" in the "Go" menu
    3. Drag your file to the icon of the person you want to send the file to (if you have mountain lion, you can use the share button).
    4. The other person has to click "save"
    5. The file will send and appear in the receiver's downloads folder
    In Mountain Lion, a new feature was added: the share button. It's a button with a picture of a box and an arrow jumping out of it. Click on it and the third (and last) option is "Airdrop" and clicking on it will allow you to send files over Airdrop without opening it in Finder.

    Move focus to the active (or next) window
    Shift-Control-F4
    Move focus to the previously active window
    By the way...  since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
    Click Help then click Help Center
    As an example type in    keyboard shortcuts
    You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.

    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • How can i exchange for the new design

    Last year my sister purchased a ipod shuffle 3rd gen, for my 10 yr old daughter. She bought it from Target and spent $145.00 at that time. Shortly there after i became aware apple had replace this 3rd gen shuffle with a new design. One that is more user friendly, especially for my 10 yr old. I have to say we have been very disappoint with her ipod for several reasons.
    1. there is no face so you cant see what your doing
    2. you must memorize the amount of clicks in order to operate it.
    3. we have only been able to upload new music to her ipod once since she got it a year ago. Even with online tech support,reading online forums,owner manuals, help from family and friends. To no avail.
    She has it still in the box neatly packed away. Its used as a show piece on her dresser to show that she has an (ipod). Neadless to say she does not use it,does not  like it mainly because there is no display panel which make it very difficult for her to function.
    So how can i exchange/replace the old design ipod shuffle generation 3  for the new design.

    Try disabling your firewall and try again.

  • BREAKING: New Design of InvisibleShield for iPhone 3G Released late July.

    For anyone that got the pre-order of the iPhone 3g Shield full body case, anytime before july 20th send it back because there is a newer design that came out and it fit the iPhone Perfectly, just letting everyone know so they are not disappointed with the company.

    Timthedj wrote:
    so what is the major difference(s) between the upgraded shield and the old style
    The new full body design changed both the front and back pieces. The front now covers the upper and lower chrome bezel, making it a bit trickier to install. There is no longer the separate small lower bezel piece, but the home button piece is retained. The back no longer extends over the headphone jack and docking port, and has additional "flaps" to better cover the bezel corners. The corners are also now slotted, so they lay flat easier and don't crease. The back is significantly easier to install and covers the corners and chrome bezel better.
    The front coverage only version is the same as the original. Instead of buying a separate back piece, to later make it full body, you now get a "full body upgrade" kit which replaces both pieces.
