Task 03 and, now, Task 04 gradesheets have been posted

Everyone did fine. There were a few minor issues in a few places, but overall it looked like you all learned a lot from each other.
Look at my comments. In some instances, I imported copies of one or more of your worksheets into your grade workbook to demonstrate how something might have been done.

Mad Libs!

Now that you can play Mad Libs on it, is the Web finally complete?

.odb in MS Access?

The Internet is failing me. Does anyone know or can anyone test: will MS Access open up an .odb file from NeoOffice or OpenOffice?

By the way, in case you were wondering, Wolfram|Alpha is pretty sure that odb refers to Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Good Graphs?

If you have never flipped through GOOD magazine, you are missing some interesting graphics. Some have more artistry than clarity, but take a look...

Read it Later

My starter was Read it Later, a Firefox extension that allows you to save pages of interest to read later. Hope it makes your internet reading a little more efficient.

Etsy

My starter was Etsy, an online marketplace for buying & selling handmade goods. I like the different ways you can search for goods (e.g., by color, geographical location, time machine).

Get to broken spreadsheet.about.com links

You might've noticed that a few of our "next session preparation" links are broken – specifically, the ones that link to http://spreadsheet.about.com/ pages.
About.com seems to have gone under recently (I use it for French grammar, and all those pages have disappeared too.)

The information on the pages can still be accessed, though.
Copy the URL of the page you're trying to link to, and then paste it into Google's searchbar. When the site comes up, click the "Cached" button under the site listing. You'll be linked to the version of the page that's saved on Google's servers (the one that it uses to index the site.)
