I am back! It has been a long time since I posted last. Have been really busy at Articulate working on some pretty big stuff and haven't had much of a chance to give any updates here.
Thanks Mike for posting your comment and inspiring me to post again.
We completed the MS 150 back in October on a couple of cold and rainy days. The second day wasn't too bad, but for about half of the ride on the first day it was raining or drizzling making the ride a little miserable. But hey, the ride was for a good cause, and we helped raise over $22,000 as an 8 man team! It really is incredible. I personally have raised over $2500 for the event, which puts me just outside of the top 150 fund raisers in the event. If I make it into the top 150 fund raisers I get a special jersey next year and entrance into the club 150 tent, which I am sure is pretty sweet. Today is the last day for fund raising, so I think at the end of the day I think I am just going to have to sneak in a donation to myself in order to get me over the top.
The picture above was taken of Ajay, Mark Firger, and I as we were about to cross the finish line on the second day. The picture on the left is of day one as we were about to start riding through Camp Pendleton. The event was a amazing and something that I won't soon forget. The ride itself was more difficult than I imagined, and I learned that you don't "grow into" a bike that is too big for you. By the end of the first day (roughly 108 miles) my back and neck were so soar that anything but lying down, and drinking excessive amounts of beer caused intense pain.
I really appreciate all the support that everyone gave me. The people that I work with at Articulate, and many readers of this blog were more than generous in their support. My original goal was to raise $2000, and I really didn't expect to get anywhere near that goal. But our team got really competitive when it came to fund raising, and it really inspired me.
Thanks again to all those that donated.
Look forward to more blog posting coming up in '08!

Dave -
I recorded voiceover in PPT 2003 directly through Articulate's "Record Narration". This is for an online training class and I made a comment that I wanted to erase. So I opened Timeline Audio Editor, highlighted the comment on slide 19 and pressed "delete". I then opened Sync Animation Timings and manually redid the bullet point animations on slide 19. Everything was cool until I realized animation timings were now off on every slide! I thought Articulate treated each slide as a separate audio timeline? Should I have not pressed delete? Or did I do something else wrong in the Timeline Audio Editor? If I did everything right, is there a way to quickly get the animations back in sync across all slides? Thank you very much!
Nice to see you back Dave. Been busy with Articulate? Does that mean a new release coming soon? ;) Yah, yah, yah.... company policy.... hehehe.

PS. Happy Holidays
Hello Anonymous,
> I thought Articulate treated each slide as a separate audio timeline?
It should have, not sure what happened here. You might want to check with our product support department and see if they have any suggestions as to what went wrong.
>Or did I do something else wrong in the Timeline Audio Editor?
It should treat each slide independently, not sure what happened.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance on this one.
