Site Redesign

We have had some site issues which I have resolved, but I figured while I was here I would make some changes.  I have updated the template and am going through some of the other things to make it a little better.  Please let me know if you have any problems.

Back off man. I’m a scientist

This is old but I ran across it today and it made me laugh.  It takes all kinds, and we get them :)

Let me preface this with a quote …
Dr. Peter Venkman: Alice, I’m going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetant?
Librarian Alice: My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I’d call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs? Stimulants? Alcohol?
Librarian Alice: No.
Dr. Peter Venkman: No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?
Library Administrator: What’s has that got to do with it?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Back off, man. I’m a scientist.

And here was my funny convo tonight

How To: Presentation viewer/slide show

The /presentation viewer/slide show. Has two modes, Auto and Manual. All settings are controlled through a simple dialog box. All you have to do is delete out the demo images in the viewer, put in your own images, then reset the system.

The slide show will run in alphabetical order, if you want a specific order, you will name accordingly. I recommend using something like a_PicName to get a sort that you want.

Auto Mode:
Automatically rotates through all images in the viewer. The default for Auto Mode is 5 seconds per slide. You can however, set the time to the following intervals.
2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 (in Seconds

You can start, pause and stop the presentation.

Manual Mode:
You control the presentation, you can move forward and backwards through your presentation.

Switching modes:
Auto to Manual: Pause the presentation, then use the back and next normally.

Manual to Auto: Click Auto Start, it will wait the specified time, and then start rotating through the slides.
