From a tip here , creating a new page with the File Cabinet template is equivalent to creating a folder on the site with whatever files you upload. You can link to these files from other pages on the site.

\usepackage{helvet} %Use Arial \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}

\usepackage[top=.5in, bottom=.5in, left=.5in, right=.5in]{geometry}

If you use latex and bibtex to create your CV then you can use this trick to bold your name in the author list of the bibliography. There are several other methods shown here .: Use plain.bst , copy it over to the location where your cv tex file is. Rename it (eg. to cvplain.bst ) Find the format.names function and change the line { s nameptr "{ff~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}" format.name$ 't := to { "\FormatName{" s nameptr "{ff~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}" format.name$ * "}" * 't := In your cv tex file add the following lines: \def\FormatName#1{% \def\myname{My Name}% \edef\name{#1}% \ifx\name\myname \textbf{#1}% \else #1% \fi }

From the opensuse docs we see that ffmeg is found in the packman repository . From the instructions here we can see how to use yast2 from the commandline to add the repo (I used ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/packman/suse/openSUSE_12.1/) and then install the package.

I've switched over to ffmpeg from mencoder. ffmpeg can be obtained from here for mac. The ffmpeg documentation on creating video slideshows is great. An example command line for such a use is: ffmpeg -r 1/.5 -i "0%05d.jpg" -vcodec mjpeg -r 25 drop.avi Important: if the numbering of your images doesn't start from 1 you should use the -start_number to indicate the first image (from here ): ffmpeg -start_number 2724 -r 1/.075 -i "DSC_%04d.jpg" -vcodec mjpeg -r 25 advair.avi If there is a break in the file name numbering (eg. you have image01.jpg ... image05.jpg then image08.jpg) ffmpeg will stop at the break and finish the movie. You can use a short bash script to generate a copy of the files numbered as you want them. ls *.JPG| awk 'BEGIN{ a=0 }{ printf "cp %s image_%04d.jpg\n", $0, a++ }' | bash You should add options to ls to sort the files as you wish Here, the first rate command (-r 1/.5) indicates how long each frame sh...
