Helpful Files (General Downloads)
This page contains a few of the files I've made (and some from other sources) which you may actually find you can use yourself.
Templates:
- Subject
Results Template (.xls) (79 KB)
- once you work out how to use it, this spreadsheet is excellent for
determining what you need to get that grade you want. - Lecture Timetable Template (.xls) - most people like to design their own pretty timetables - here's a very colourful one I once used.
- Attendance_Sheets
(.xls) - Useful if you tutor/teach - has several colourful options for keeping
attendance.
- Palm Cards (.doc) - Every time I wrote a speach I used this to convert it into nice palm cards (sized for my hand).
- Simple_Coverpage (.doc) - Not expecially attractive, and yet I used it for two years for every assignment!
- Storyboards_(.doc)
- Very
handy - drawing storyboards is a MUST before you design a website.
- Subject_Priorities_List (.xls) - I used this in first year to help me manage assignments etc.
- Simple_Score (.gif) - Very basic (blank sheet music), but handy if you write music.
Macros:
- MS_Word_Macros (.txt) - Just a few little Word macros - some for correcting e-mail formatting, and others for making printed source code look pretty. I recommend all IT students learn a bit about microsoft Macros. Repetition sucks - make a macro. (NOTE: This is an old copy of my Macros from Jan 2006, "Normal.dot" below uses regex strings and is more recent and more powerful)
- Normal
(.dot)
- This contain ALL my macros - very useful for formatting text (includes
regex strings) and as a learning tool - contains it's own interactive
form/window. To use them, go to: "C:\Documents and Settings\<your
username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates" (warning: Applications Data is a hidden folder) >
rename Normal.dot to Normal-OLD.dot, and copy this file into the directory.
Start word and press Alt+F8 and/or Alt+1 to get started. If you don't
like it rename the old normal document template to Normal.dot again.
- PowerPoint_Macros
(.ppt)
- Some very useful PowerPoint macros. These include macros which can:
compile ALL notes into a single text box, (2) generate a progress bar
for your slides, (3) print slide timings above slides, and much more.
Comes with instructions - basically when you have this PPT open you
can run any of these Macros in any other PPT file you have open. (a
copy of the raw VB code is here: MS_PowerPoint_Macros.txt).
- Visual Studio .NET Macros (.txt) - Useful if you program with Visual Studio .NET. Functions include: changing formatting / comment types, counting brackets, aligning comments and much more.
Misc:
- UNIX
commands reference card (.pdf)
- you'll need these UNIX commands in cp1300 (& possibly others)
- and, lets face it, these commands are easy to forget. so here they
all are on a single, simple sheet.
