Schedule in Microsoft Excel format?
« on: July 27, 2006, 01:28:41 pm »
Dunno if this has been brought up already or not, but here goes.

The schedule that's downloadable on the Events page is in the Excel format. Because there are some who don't have Microsoft Office or even just Excel, I suggest turning it into something universal, that everyone can see like an HTML or CSS table. Unless there's something I'm not aware of, this'd probably be better for everyone.

Hmm..yes, this does indeed hamper my ability to read the schedule. Guess for now I need to go..."buy"...office/excel.

What about PDF?

PDF is fine for faster computers since it takes a bit of ram and processing to load them (my comp is slow, boo!) and it's primarily made for printing in the first place, so it's a good option.

I'd recommend OpenOffice.org as a free Excel viewer (and editor).

http://www.openoffice.org/

However, I will see if we can repost the schedules in a different format also.

I have a mac and those viewers don't work.  I know there's a mac version of those programs but it's very expensive and I can't afford them.  Posting them in .pdf format would be wonderful if possible.

Anyone else on a mac and have a solution?  I have OSX 10.3.9.

I've also got a link to the schedule as just an HTML page in my signature. If anyone actually wants me to, I'll keep it updated and make it look better - it doesn't take very long to do.

I'll see what I can do to make smaller PDF files, maybe even single page pdfs, one for each day?

Publicity is finalizing the con booklet this weekend so we will have a nicer layout for the schedules. We can probably put printable PDFs up this weekend (possibly HTML also).

the NEW mac "brags" about being able to do windows. It actually just states it has the possiblity to do both if you buy the bootcamp program to install windows using the intel chip for processing. It becomes a dual computer. It can ONLY be done with a Intel Macintosh. It's also possible to run microsoft office macintosh edition student, home or pro version if you cough up the dough for it. You can also run windows virtually on virtual PC but that's such a flimsy program it crashes anyways and it's not worth the money.

It would just be universal if the person who created the file did a PDF. Those who are still on dial up, I recommend investing in at LEAST DSL.

I tried a quick export to PDF using OpenOffice.org but it doesn't look very good. That's why we were just gonna wait slightly and finalize it better. :)

At least you tried, thanks for the sugar on top :3 I'm quite happy with the person who converted it to an HTML format and has it in their signature. I'm really looking forward to some of the stuff going on.

Aww, you're quite happy with me  :oops: . Thanks though, glad it's getting some use.

Whoever is in charge should merge the cells for the individual events on the Excel spreadsheet before they convert it (in my opinion). It would make it a lot more readable than the ~~~ and the XXs. Take a look here for an example. If you need help just pm.
