For those of you that can’t be dropped into an application and “wing it” learning by doing, newsforge has announced some openoffice.org training videos that are now available for free download. So, if you ever wanted or needed a video walkthrough for you or someone else on OpenOffice it looks like that need has been filled. They’re actually excerpts from a video cd that comes from an upcoming book on OpenOffice, entitled Point & Click OpenOffice.org.



The book will be released sometime next month (December 6, 2005) and includes two cds, one with OpenOffice.org 2, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, the other disc with video instruction. The book will be ~216 pages and is based on the recently released OpenOffice.org 2.

There are 11 videos announced for free download.

It details in one section many specialized search syntaxes, such as the site: and inurl: that I’ve mentioned before. Interesting and neat, obscure features that most people simply do not make use of.

I just thought I’d do a quick post to mention that I’ve added a new category called “featured books” and it’s a place where, well….. I’ll ummmm feature books. I don’t know I might feature other things too, I might need to rename the category at some point, but… From time to time if and when I run across something that I think might be relevant or interesting, I’ll feature it in this section.

This is done in association with Amazon.com and, for that matter you probably will have noticed search boxes on many pages like this.

Search:
Keywords:

Amazon Logo

The neat thing about this is, you can search Amazon's entire product catalog from the search, so if the article on USB vulnerabilities had you thinking... hey, I need to get a USB key memory stick.... then, have at it and search.
