Riding the Windows Live wave

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:50:08 GMT

There’s a long list of Windows Live services at Liveside.net but today we’ll just look at a couple of them, namely Windows Live Calendar, Windows Live Skydrive and Office Live Workspace.

There’s been a calendar in Live Hotmail from the year dot but it’s been fairly basic in what it can do and hasn’t been updated a great deal for years. Windows Live Calendar is a completely new service and is far more modern in design and in how it works.

Clicking the Calendar link in your Hotmail now gives you the option to change over to the trial version of Live Calendar. Alternatively, you can go directly to Live Calendar at calendar.live.com, sign in and get started.

The first job is to choose your time zone:

You can choose whether to view your calendar in day, week or month view. Let’s use day view and add a couple of appointments and events. Here’s what you see when you’re in day view and if you’re familiar with the old calendar, you’ll be looking for the task pane to carry out tasks such as making an entry.

Well, in Live Calendar the calendar page is completely interactive so let’s click on the 900 time slot:

Now click on Add to enter an appointment or event that’s timed to begin at 900:

Note that you’ve got a choice of which calendar you’re going to add this event to – yes, that’s right, you can have different calendars, such as family birthdays, school holidays, public holidays, Olympic events, and more. In fact you can subscribe to calendars from several sites such as Mark This Date.

Clicking on Add more details opens a page where you can enter more information in relation to this event including the option to flag it as recurring during the year (e.g. weekly, fortnightly, and so on):

Notice you can receive alerts to your Hotmail if you want a reminder (set the appropriate time or number of days before the event). When you’ve entered the data, click Save at the bottom or top of the window.

As well as the new interface, Live Calendar gives you various choices as to how you may want to print out a view of your calendar (day, week or month).

Finally notice you can have many different calendars so as to separate out your events and appointments and, using the top toolbar, you can share any of these calendars with people on your contact list.

Surfing over the Live Calendar wave, let’s take a quick look at Live Skydrive since it’s now got a new folder included, namely your Favorites, where you can create and update a list of your favourite sites.

Since you can use Skydrive wherever you have an Internet connection, you can now access your favourite sites from any computer.

Once you’ve signed in, click on the Favorites folder icon to open a window where you can begin to create a link to a favourite site.

Enter the data (or use copy and paste to enter the web address) and click Create.

Over time you can build up your list of favourite sites that you want available wherever you have Internet access.

The last wave to catch is a reminder that Office Live Workspace is another free Live service that enables you to have access to your Excel, PowerPoint and Word documents as well as others wherever you have Internet access. As well, you can share documents with others so you can set up a group so everybody has ready access to the latest versions of documents.

Deep zooming photo collections (Updated with screenshots)

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:18:00 GMT

Today’s digital cameras easily make it possible to snap good quality photos. We can enjoy them on our computer in all their glory but it’s more difficult when it comes to sharing these photos online so others can partake of our photography wizardry.

Even uploading your photos from Windows Live Photo Gallery to your Live Space in a resolution that enables your family and friends to download and print them can cause some grief at the other end especially for those not on a broadband connection. Those panoramic photos you’ve made in Live Photo Gallery are another story altogether.

To provide a means to show off your photos in all their glory is the purpose of a free software tool called Deep Zoom Composer. DZC enables you to layout your photos in the composer window, it processes them and uploadS them to the PhotoZoom site for others to view.

After you’ve added the photo or photos to the composition pane and it’s time to export, Deep Zoom Composer breaks your collection into small tiles (256 x 256 pixels). After everything is uploaded onto your album at PhotoZoom and you’ve passed around the website address, the collection downloads the tiles required to build the first scene in the visitor’s browser. As the visitor zooms in or pans around your photo album, more tiles are downloaded to build up the view. This technique by the way is how Live Maps build up its views on-screen rather than downloading one huge map image to your browser.

To get started with Deep Zoom Composer you’ll need to download the Microsoft Silverlight runtime (it’s a bit over 4Mb in size). Silverlight is cross-browser and cross-platform add-on that brings rich media experiences to your browser and desktop. For example, Silverlight is being used by NBCOlympics.com to provide about 2000 hours of online coverage of the Beijing Olympics (sadly not for Australia). The download site for Deep Zoom Composer is here.

Once Deep Zoom Composer is started, create a new project and use Add Images in the right-hand pane to build a list of (possible) images you want to use in your composition. Alternatively, if you have a large panorama, you might prefer to use just one image.

In composition mode, you can move your images around the compose canvas, re-size them, or remove them from the composition. In the latest version of Deep Zoom Composer you’re able to build a panorama while you’re in compose mode so that saves you having to go to Live Photo Gallery to create a new panorama.

Once your happy with your composition, then go to Export to have DZC process your photos and upload to your own album on PhotoZoom.

Create a new PhotoZoom account if you don’t have one otherwise sign in.

Name your album

After you select a photo for your album cover, you’ll be able to Upload

The Upload button becomes “live” after you’ve selected an album cover – now just wait a few minutes

Your upload has finished so now you can view your work of art online at PhotoZoom

Look at a couple of sample sites that have been created using DZC to get your creative juices flowing. The Yosemite project and Visual Story Telling sample mentioned in this week’s list of sites will give you plenty of ideas.

Here are some samples to get your creative neurons running:
