Microsoft Office 2010

For those of you who haven’t tried it, the beta of Microsoft Office 2010 is available for download.

Go here to start the download.

You probably want to download the 32-bit version, as it is more likely to work on your computer. The total download size is 684.84MB, so it will take a while to download.

While Microsoft will give you a key, here’s a few MAKs so you don’t have to do it.

  • PYMDW-8DFY2-Y68BB-XHDGD-CT443
  • 2PWHY-KT4X6-96PYW-XQR7V-HW2W9

After you have installed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Beta, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Microsoft Word 2010 Beta and click on the “File” tab. This will take you to the Backstage view. Next click “Help” in the set of tabs on the left.

Step 2: Click “Change Product Key” on the right side of the screen.

Step 3: Enter the Multiple Activation Key (MAK) displayed above. Please check the box to activate automatically or restart the app to activate using the activation dialog box.

Step 4: That’s all you need to do. Entering the MAK key in Microsoft Word 2010 Beta automatically activates all the Office Professional Plus 2010 Beta applications. Click on the “File” tab to return to the Document view.

Snarf-related updates

So I realized pretty quickly that manually updating a snarf site is quite annoying. I suppose it isn’t so bad if you’re Mr. Peck, but I just wrote a short little PHP script to go and update it for me.

They are as follows:

snarf.php Downloads a snarf XML file from a server, opens it, and downloads all of the projects listed inside of it. It then creates its own snarf.xml. Variables are on the top of the code, to download, right-click and save as…

create_snarf.php Goes through a non-recursive filename search through a directory, then creates a snarf.xml for it. It’s pretty easy to improve this one, but I never got around to it. Things for the future:

  • Add recursion for folders
  • Add folder-based categories

transfer.php This is the one that is both the simplest and the most time consuming. It reads a given snarf file, and downloads the projects. What took a really long time on this one was the “downloading” bit… It appears that PHP doesn’t have a built-in downloader that accepts inputs from my string… I just used wget in the end. Note: This will not maintain category structure while downloading, it all goes in ‘./’.

Currently, since Mr. Peck’s snarf isn’t back up yet, they are all coded to point at www.aeturnalus.com/snarf/snarf.xml. When the district’s server port gets opened up, I’ll point it at http://205.173.41.8/staff/peck_george/notemplate/apcssnarf/snarf.xml to mirror the snarf with one click.

Create your own font, update

Since the previous website which created a personalized font is no longer available for free, I have found a new one. It works pretty much the same way: Go to the website, print out a template, scan the template back in, and download the new font file. You can access it here.

Note to “Charlatan”: Old posts are outdated.

VirtualGunExperiment 1.2

Well… I’ve rethought the strategies of VGE, and have decided that the usage of RandomMovement is a problem. As such, I have completely removed it from the code.

FBLA Photos Page

Message to FBLA Tech Committee:

PLEASE fix the photos page

The pictures box covers the right sidebar, which I’m reasonably sure isn’t intentional. If it is, its a pretty bad design flaw – it looks like its broken.

If you absolutely need to have a huge box, at least use CSS and center it, so it looks like it’s using a variation of Lightbox.js.

Fixing the box should only take a few minutes of your valuable time.

Members Page


Err… Please fix? It can’t be that hard…  Most people don’t have 3 last names, you know?

404 Errors

About Page, Officers page, Nova Awards History, Cords Information
FIX!

The news page is a little skinny, perhaps make it wider for readability?
Also, just as a check, the FBLA site runs a version of RT Replicant 2 with a different background, correct?
