Plugin Week, from Binny

My friend Binny has started an interesting initiative on his blog, called  “Plugin Week”. The idea is to release one plugin each day, for the entire week. He has already published 2 plugins – Eventr & Autofields WordPress plugin.

He is lazy, wait, it’s a new kind of laziness, I don’t know any name for it, hmm, ( you can suggest one, of course ).  If you tell him to shut off his PC, when he is not using it, he will say, ok I will write a script for it , so that he pc shuts down itself, when I am not using it for a while .. yes, he can write code for anything and everything.

He told me that he has got some script running on his PC, which downloads all the TED videos to his machine, whenever the Internet connection is free. ( I will get a DVD with Ted videos from him when I visit him next time … oh no !!  that’s not a bribe for writing this post, ok ?  you guys can write me an email or drop a comment and I will get you a copy of that DVD )

Okay, I am still on my break, ( hmmm …. long one .. ) and will get you more updates later. Don’t forget to subscribe to his RSS feed, and try out all his plugins….

Youtube Vidoes with Google Docs Presentation

Yes, here is a new feature on Google docs. Add Youtube Videos to your presentations. You can insert one or more YouTube videos onto your slides and play the videos while you’re presenting.

Its been a long time since I have done a presentation. Anyway, I will be doing my next presentation on Google docs. Well, if I ever get chance to do one. If any of you guys are using Google Docs presentation, and would like to comment on how useful this feature is, you are most welcome to drop a comment here.

Another feature they added recently, is Speaker notes. If you do now know what speaker notes are, on a presentation, this is what it is. “Seasoned presenters keep their slides simple and use slides to help illustrate their points, not to present all of their information. They jot down their talking points, examples, and supporting evidence in speaker notes”

So, if you were looking for this option in Google Docs, its there now, try it out !!
