Oggi ho partecipato alla “Giornata di Informazione Tecnologica” organizzata dal Centro di Ateneo per i Sistemi Informativi (C.S.I.) della “Federico II“. In questa giornata Microsoft Italia ci ha deliziato con un programma di tutto rispetto:

Dopo questa intera giornata di auto-fustigazione (resistere dal picchiare fisicamente i Microsoft IT Pro Evangelist è davvero una ardua prova…), solo in uno modo posso esprimere quello che vorrei dire a tutta la società di Gates: ECCOLO QUI!

Ringrazio mio fratello Fabio per il contributo audio: non avrei saputo fare di meglio!

Docvert logo

This web service software takes multiple word processor files (typically .doc) and converts them to OpenDocument and HTML.

Web Service receives .doc file and converts it to a Oasis OpenDocument 1.0 which can then be converted to HTML, RSS, or any XML format.

The resulting OpenDocument is then optionally converted to HTML or any XML. This is done with XML Pipelines, an approach that supports XSLT, breaking up content over headings or sections, and saving those results to multiple files (e.g., chapter1.html, chapter2.html…).

The result is returned in a .zip file.

Official Web Site.
The software is a PHP Script that expose a WS and a Web Interface, that help and symplify to reach its aim.

Chapter: Apple Human Interface Guidelines
Section: Keyboard Shortcuts Quick Reference
Extract:
As you implement keyboard shortcuts in your application, use this table to find:

* Which key sequences are reserved by Mac OS X.
Users rely on these shortcuts to perform the specified actions no matter which application is currently running (these include shortcuts reserved for accessibility purposes). Do not override these shortcuts.

* Which key sequences are recommended for common application tasks.
Users expect these shortcuts to mean the same thing from application to application. Provide these shortcuts if your application performs the associated tasks. You should avoid using these shortcuts for other purposes.
