The Access deadline approacheth! (schedule note)

Remember that we WILL have class next Tuesday (11/4) but NOT Thursday 11/6. The Access deadline in Sun 11/9 - but I will be totally out of contact from Tuesday afternoon 11/4 until Monday morning 11/10.

So if you have questions, you have to ask them before next Tuesday afternoon! If you do have questions that a classmate might be able to answer, send an email to the google group.

PLEASE, everyone, help out your fellow students if something comes up!

As before, you'll be able to turn in the assignment on late (until Monday 11:59 pm), but with a score penalty.

If you're bored, you can see the band I'll be playing with on youtube. See the Joey Stuckey band clips on THIS PLAYLIST.

Access Capstone 4 note


There is one change to the instructions - make sure you read the on-screen instructions where it is listed.

I've also added a screenshot of the report you will create - you will need to fiddle around with the report settings to create that particular format!

Multi-service Chat applications

Useful for chatting online, because they handle multiple services (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, etc all are different. A few years ago you had to use separate applications to access each one - not so much anymore)

For Windows: I like Pidgin, but Trillian is also good.
For Macs: Fire

All of these are free. Trillian does have a "Pro" version with additional features.
