Unfortunately the lighting shown in the image is not exactly reflected in the parameters, because I forgot to save it.

Lately it seems that apps tend to crash a lot on my first-generation iPad. Safari is one of the biggest offenders, and it appears the problem is at least partly from lack of free memory. If Safari starts crashing everytime you open it, it sometimes helps to close all apps in the multitasking bar.

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.

“Request filtering is configured on the Web server to deny the request because the content length exceeds the configured value.”
There have been several times when I’ve discovered that settings changes I make in Captivate Preferences or Properties are not being honored – my changes can be seen in the Preferences or Properties panels after closing and reopening the Preferences or properties, but they are not being used.

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.
