Instructions for speakers in the friday
science meeting.
In order to maximize efficiency during the meeting, we plan to pre-load
talks onto 2 laptops, one Windows and one Mac. We can support
Keynote 3, Power Point, and Acrobat pdf formats. If you need
other software, let us know as soon as possible.
Please upload your file by 5 pm wednesday, September 13.
How to upload your file:
First: give your file a name that contains your last name, as in
"einstein.ppt".
***Special note for Keynote users:
A Keynote file is actually a directory that contains all the files and
images in your presentation. In order to upload it you have to
put it into a tar or zip archive. The easiest way to do
that is to to find the icon representing your keynote file, and
Control-Click on it, and select "Create Archive of...". This will
create a zip file containing your talk which you can upload.
Then, go to the following page-
https://webfiles.uci.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-3643934_1-t_sh4qDGYR
Click on the Upload button at the top, and upload your file. (The
webfiles server will be down for maintenance on Saturday, September 9
from 7 am to noon.)
This is my first time using this webfiles thing to handle file
uploads- please let me know if you have any trouble with it!
Also, just to
be on the safe side, please bring your talk to the meeting either on
your own laptop, on a USB memory drive, or a CD.
