A few rough spots in iCloud
iCloud looks great on paper, but the effects of choices you must make to enable it are not obvious, so, as a busy person with more than enough troubleshooting to do, I am shutting it off for now.
No replacement for iDisk yet.
I’m probably one of the few people that use iDisk, but I do use it. I store my Papers library on it, and a variety of assets I use at work and at home. It was a great little server, without any hassle. According to this technote, I have to save my files and get ready for it to disappear.
I never used the iWeb or MobileMe Gallery features, but it looks like all of that is disappearing also. iCloud is neither a hosting service, nor an unstructured file-server. Documents can be stored by apps, but probably not dragged there by you, as far as I can tell.

In a .NET application used to deliver quizzes, attempting to import a large quiz from another server resulted in this error:
“The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length.” A second message stated:

Captivate: Change background images on imported Powerpoint slides to repositionable Captivate images
Captivate allows you to import a Powerpoint file to use as the starting point for your learning activity. It’s often easier for people to “think” in Powerpoint, so many users prefer to rough out a project in Powerpoint, then import it and continue working in Captivate.
When a Powerpoint file is imported this way, its images become part of the Background element of the slide in Captivate. Backgrounds are not easily repositionable, or croppable, but it’s not hard to bring the background image up onto the slide as a regular image element that can be moved around, edited, and included in actions.

If Windows Journal starts crashing every time you try to open it, these instructions might just fix it (thanks to David Bradley):

Adobe Captivate provides two methods of tracking quiz results that don’t require you to have an LMS: Acrobat.com reporting and Internal Server reporting. An E-mail reporting option is also available, but it would require some custom development to make any sense of the data.
Before deciding which option to use, it is necessary to understand the requirements involved for each method.

Captivate external links that don’t work on imported Powerpoint slides
The other day a Captivate author showed me a new problem: on one slide, resource links she had put into a slide imported from Powerpoint were not working.
