This is for anybody familiar with the "powerpoint" fmt docs/display,
and the openoffice.org equivalent, Impress. I have several dozen of
files
in several directories; each file (php or html--or can be xlated to xml)
had one or two jpeg graphics.
What I would like to experiment with is to see if having my Jottings
philosophical stuff in slideshow presentation. My personal philosophy
grew
out of a disagreement with the bureaucrats in my home state (Ohio) who
asserted that my physical disabilities made it impossible for me to
become
a productive member of society. Similar bureaucrats in California just
a
few years later took a different slant, and over the years and with
plenty
of sweating over my engineering and comp-sci classwork---and obviously,
when I started earning my salt---, I noted down a bunch of short pieces
that evolved into my "Jottings" thoughts.
I've tried my best to de-nerd and de-geek this stuff, so that it
encourages anyone and everyone who feels beat-up on by just-plain-life.
Since this stuff has gone global, I've had lots of positive feedback.
At
the same time, back-of-envelope math has convinced me that it wouldn't
pay
to publish this in ink+paper. So in addition to my jottings.thought.org
website, have a push-button slideshow might encourage more people to
give
this a read ... or a listen. If I can find a volunteer to read the
stuff.
I've tried to get firefox3 to show the demo here, but I'm evidently too
too far out of date. If there is a way of having OOo-3.01 use the
writing
portion and turn the files into Impress mode, that would be ideal.
O/wise, it might turn into a sharp learning curve. In any case, there
are
two questions for this list. The first, obviously, is subjective and
is:
would having my stuff in slideshow fmt gain me a wider readership? The
second is: anybody out there willing to clue me in on this stuff?
