Canvas LMS HTML Editor now supports drag & drop

Welcome to the 21St century: in Canvas LMS: you can now copy/paste and drag and drop images, rather than uploading them from your computer.

What a timesaver!

windows vertalingen

Mijn computer draait een Nederlandstalige versie van windows, maar de meeste info op het web is in het engels. Vaak moeilijk om, zeker met de search functie, de juiste functie te vinden, als jouw vertaling niet identiek is aan die van microsoft. Daarom, als geheugensteuntje voor mezelf, een vertaaltabelletje.

Engels	Nederlands
apps and features	apps en onderdelen
computer management	computer beheer
contact sheet	overzichtsafdruk
credentialmanager	referentiegegevensbeheer
environment variables	omgevingsvariabelen
programs and features	programma's en functies
settings	instellingen
wallet	portemonnee

Printing an ID card photo in windows

 When printing a photo in windows, these are the options you get:

For the bigger formats you get the actual sizes, but for the smaller you get descriptions, which are unclear.

These are the actual sizes when printing:

• wallet/portemonnee: 6 x 8 cm
• overview/overzichtsafdruk: 2.5 x 3.8 cm

I'm keeping the sizes here because I always get it wrong. Wallet is way too large for an ID card photo, overview is a lot closer (although a tad too small)

Getting rid of Noto Sans Symbols and other fonts in Powerpoint

If someone worked on your PowerPoint presentation using Google presentations, you can end up in a situation that PowerPoint gives an error when saving the presentation that the a font (like Noto Sans Symbols) cannot be found.

Getting rid of this is not easy. Find and replace fonts often does not solve the problem for me.

Solution that did work: 

1. save the Powerpoint as an XML file
2. Open in a plain text editor (Notepad++, ...)
   
3. find an replace "Noto Sans Symbols" with something like "Arial"
4. save again
5. Open the XML file with PowerPoint
6. Save again as .pptx
7. phew!

I found the solution here...
