Tuesday September 23 -- a new way to pass in your projects

Hey there hi there ho there,

Today, we will accomplish two great and magnificent things:

A) I will show you a new way to get your projects handed in to me

B) I will demonstrate how to connect keyboard events to sound output (yes, the infamous "Ferris Bueller keyboard"...coming soon to a computer right in front of you!)

OK, let's start with A.

1) Yesterday, I shared a folder called "VBDepot" on my Box.net account. According to my account instructions, I can share it with you guys by emailing you invites, which I did yesterday before I left the building. So, the first step is to check your email

2) You will find an email with the subject line
"UnclePaulie (mrlarue2009@gmail.com) invited you to collaborate on Box.net"
get into that email and click on the link which is just below the line that says
UnclePaulie has invited you to share files in the "VBdepot", folder

3) This will bring you to a webpage where you enter in your name, your email address, and a password, then hit the SIGNUP button

4) This brings you to a webpage where you can see the shared VBDepot folder. click on the link that says VBDepot

5) On the next webpage, there is a link where you can upload new files. Click on that link. This pops up a dialog box

6) In that dialog box, there is an "Add Files" button. You use that to browse for files. Just to test out the system, just upload a file that I can recognize as being yours.

7) Click the Upload button, and Shazzam!!! your file is uploaded

Now for the tricky part: can you read the instructions from yesterday? The ones that tell you how to find your the folder which holds everything for your current project, and then zip it up inside a WinZip folder? I'm sure that you can. And, if you need help, that's what I get paid the big bucks for :-)

OK guys, lets do it! Let's get it done! The Ferris Bueller program awaits....

Cheers,
Mr. L
