Were were missing some icons in our Moodle theme. This was due to the new features that were included in the 1.6 upgrade. I updated our theme with the new pics. Looks much nicer.

I got a request to change Coppermine so that when uploading files via the web interface or via the XMLRPC interface the filename would populate the title field. I have made the chages and am reasonably certain that it should not cause any problems. Let me know if there are issues with the changes. I am in the process of updating the site soon.

I want this site to not only highlight cool new features on this server but to discuss interesting uses of technology in general. These may be blogs I stumbled accross or stuff I think may be of use to the College community. One of these is a recent blog entry called
Lightweight data exploration in Excel
Not a very exciting title but the meat of the post is rather interesting. The author uses the rept function in excel to produce in cell bar graphs of data.
=REPT(text,number_of_times)
The author has a bunch of great examples of different uses and many folks commented on the blog and many cool new uses were born. A great example of the power of blogs for collaborative exploration of ideas.
Here is an example stolen from the site
Check it out. There are examples on the follow up post and a demo spreadsheet.
