Transfer of Carbonite to a new Computer
Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
When I transferred my subscription from Carbonite to my new computer, it transferred fine, but it seemed to be stuck and not backing up my files. Yikes! I thought it might be a Windows 7 issue. Finally, I decided to reinstall the software, and it is now working perfectly.
Re-install Carbonite

These days, I find it easier to let my “fingers do the walking” when shopping for school supplies. Amazon has just made it easier. For college students, check out:
It is also required by law now that our college list textbooks that are to be used in our courses so that students can “shop” around for the textbooks. Many of my students are selecting the greener e-Books rather than hard/softbound textbooks. The nice thing about those, besides being green, is that you can electronically search them.
My girls are in the K-12 system and also need school uniforms. Here is the Amazon link for them:
Learning Styles for the Ageless Learner

Learning Styles Backgrounder :: Ageless Learner
Do we change styles as we become more mature in our learning? Do we become more flexible in the way we learn, and can we adapt to the different modalities that are thrown at us?
I thought this site had a nice approach to pulling many learning theories together and applying them to lifelong learning.
I am especially partial to David Kolb’s Learning Style Model.
You Tube Tip from Paula Henry

Question: If I am watching a YouTube video and I want to share what is said 4 minutes and 21 seconds into the video, how do I get the video to start at the 4 minute and 21 second mark?
Answer: Copy and paste the YouTube video URL and add the following code to the end of the URL #t=4m21s
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZZApfdRwYI#t=1m12s
To do it on an embedded video, use the “start” parameter. Note that start takes seconds as a parameter, not minutes and seconds. For example, to start an embedded video 31 minutes and 8 seconds into a video, 31*60+8 = 1868 seconds, so you would need to append &start=1868 to the value= link.
Give it a try!

Compiler Error C2360 I was getting this error after I added another case to a switch statement. This link proved to be helpful in rearranging those silly {}’s.
I am currently running the 2010 Beta 2 version of Visual Studio.
Welcome to My Blog!

What an original title for this post! Well, I hope to use this blog in my never-ending struggle to become paperless! I plan to post things here as I think of them, and as I find a need to save this information in a place where I can find it again — and again — and again! I am using Qumana Blog Manager to help me in the management of this blog as it will allow me to create “offline” and post at a later time. That way, I can blog in the car on vacation trips and get them all posted when I connect back to the Internet. I am also hoping that I can find some way to split these up by topic so that it is easier to find.
This is it — at last!

I have finally decided that this is it! I am sticking to this to keep track of all my thoughts and insights. It might be a tad eclectic, but you have to admit that it is fun! I have chosen WordPress as my tool. It promised a 5-minute install — and that is all it took! I have been playing with it over on another site. I am also excited that it had a podcasing plug in and interfaces with Qumana.
