Word Processing Equipment and airlines

Word Processing Equipment and airlines 05/26/2004 06:16 PM

British Air announces before each flight that "word processing equipment" must be switched off. It's hilarious, I keep picturing someone up there in Posh Bastard Class who's booked an extra couple seats for his Xerox Word Processor and a long-suffering "word-processing-specialist" to operate it. Also, why the hell does Air Canada forbid the use of in-flight "modems and printers" (and how do they reconcile the ban on modems with the fact that they provide hideously expensive in-flight phone service, with modem jacks?)

AbiWord - Free Word Processing Program


AbiWord - Free Word Processing Program 06/22/2005 02:48 AM


AbiWord Free Word Processing Program
http://www.abisource.com/

AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft® Word. It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, and so forth. AbiWord has been created by a worldwide group of volunteers and currently supports many languages and operating systems. AbiWord is GNU Free Software software, which means that you will always have the freedom to use it, make copies of it, and improve it. You are
encouraged to make use of these freedoms and share the program with your family and friends! Like most Open Source projects, AbiWord started as a cathedral, but has become more like a bazaar. AbiWord is part of a larger project known as AbiSource,
which was started by the SourceGear Corporation. The goal of the project was the development of a cross-platform, Open Source office suite beginning with AbiWord, the project's word processor. AbiWord is unique among word processors in its drive to become a fully cross-platform word processor. Our source code is carefully written so that AbiWord will run on virtually any operating system with a minimum of time spent on porting. This combined with our support for internationalization (the ability to run AbiWord in many languages) gives AbiWord a massive potential user-base. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Oceanic Airlines


Oceanic Airlines 06/17/2005 03:45 PM

I'm pretty addicted to the TV show "Lost." The first season has wrapped up and left some amazing cliffhangers. I finally got all the episodes watched (thanks BitLord), and I started looking around to see what was on the Web to hold me over until fall.

It turns out that the creators of "Lost" are unbelievably abusive to their fan base. They've created a site which just takes advantage of the fact that the fans of "Lost" are obssessive to the extreme. As one of this site's victims, I can attest that unleashing it was a stunning act of cruelty.

In the show, Oceanic Airlines, Flight 815 goes down en route from Sydney to Los Angeles (let me also say that I'm the creator of the Oceanic Airlines page on Wikipedia, which is thriving right now). One day, www.oceanic-air.com popped onto the Net, which is, ostensibly, their corporate site.

The site was never publicized by ABC. Some viewers with a Tivo apparently found it by freeze-framing a scene in the airport containing a poster for Oceanic Airlines. ABC just stuck that poster in the show knowing that someone would stumble on it eventually.

Fake Web sites like this aren't new, but this one includes a Flash-based "seating chart" on which you can mouse over the seats. Someone figured out that you can make different seats light up by clicking other seats in a certain order and at a certain frequency. Every once in a while, you get an Easter Egg in the form of some supporting documentation about a character — their passport, dairy, or something else.

And off to the races the fans went. See this thread at the online forums for most of the sequences. Some guy finally decompiled the Flash and extracted the pictures, but apparently not all the sequences. Then someone figured out that if you clicked the seat row numbers in a certain order (these numbers and their order are central to the show itself), you got a full-blown promo for Season Two.

"Lost" is taking the fake site concept further than most, as there's more than one. There's a site for the band DriveSHAFT, which is supposedly the one-hit wonder band for which character Charlie Pace was the bassist. The site is so perfectly done — just amateur enough to seem real — that it almost fooled me into thinking it was real...until I found this "news article" about the crash of Flight 815 which refers to characters in the show.

So the discovery of this second site leaves me wondering, are there others? Are the creators of this show (J.J. Abrams — the same crack dealer who gave us " Alias") creating a full-blown backdrop on the Web? Is stuff going on these sites that's crucial for understanding the episodes on TV? Is any of it canonical?

I hate that I've become one of the obssessed.

This toolbox assists the XML content author and developer working with the new XML features of Word 2003. The Word XML Toolbox requires that .NET Programmability Support is enabled. For .NET Programmability Support to be installed during the Office 2003 setup, the PIAs require the .NET Framework 1.1 already be installed. It is recommended that you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 before you install Microsoft Office 2003. With the .NET Framework 1.1 already installed, a complete installation of Office 2003 will install all of the PIAs.

It seems like there's been something of a slightly scary trend lately of computer glitches completely grounding airlines. In May, a computer glitch grounded Delta flights. Just a few weeks ago Northwes t Airlines was grounded due to a computer glitch. This weekend, both US Air and American were grounded by computer glitches. It seems more than a bit odd that so many airlines would have so many computer glitches that impact so much of their business in such a short time-frame. The two problems this weekend were due to an EDS malfunction, though it's unclear about the previous problems.

Re unions In The Air.

So yesterday I told you about American Airlines’ shameless play to connect our familial dots and then fly us all to our family reunions.

classmates Well today Classmates.com gets into the act of bringing our academic families back together with Reunion Center 2.0—offering online ticket sales for school, work, and military reunions. According to the press release we can utilize Classmates.com Reunion Center to:

  — Sell tickets online for all reunion events and collect payment from attendees via Visa, MasterCard or check.
  — Post reunion information and photos to share with their class.
  — Increase reunion awareness by leveraging Classmates.com’s listing of more than 38 million school alumni.
  — Send email invitations, updates and reminders to the reunion class, even if they are not yet members of Classmates.com.
  — Show class members a current RSVP list of reunion attendees.
  — Find lost alumni and enable class members to stay in touch.
  — Create class message boards to share reunion ideas and memories.
  — Get ideas from thousands of other reunion planners.

All for a modest processing fee. Have you been to a High School Reunion lately?
