Delay when downloading files December 18, 2006
Posted by Library Answer Person in : Technology , add a commentWhen I download files on my Apple MacBook Pro there is a slight delay between when the save/open with window opens and the “OK” button activates. The delay is long enough that I think it is abnormal. Am I crazy? Do you know of anything like this happening to others? (Note: I use Mozilla Firefox, but I’m not sure if that matters.)Thanks!
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: I’m not familiar with this issue, and perhaps you are crazy. If this delay is annoying enough to be a problem, I recommend contacting Duke’s OIT help desk at 684-2200 or help@oit.duke.edu There may be some sort of permission-checking going on to make sure you’re authorized to download something over the Duke network (I assume you’re using wireless here on campus).
What color should Kville be? December 18, 2006
Posted by Library Answer Person in : Duke , add a commentDuke blue, which is apparently the color of intolerance, or just plain old inclusive blue?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: I wouldn’t say that Duke Blue is the color of intolerence, although I can see arguments on both sides of this issue. Let’s see how this year’s events work themselves out and maybe we’ll return to a more gentlemanly and neighborly arrangement in the future.
Brochure December 18, 2006
Posted by Library Answer Person in : Technology , 2commentsI’m trying to make a brochure and could use some free images/photos of happy families, puppies, stuff like that. Is there a website where I can get free, good, public domain photos and images?danke.
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: There are a lot of websites. You can just google “public domain photos” and start finding stuff. Examples are http://pdphoto.org/ (all seem to be taken by the same guy who is anxious to share!) or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources
