Google Docs now with Presentations

The title of the post says it all, really. The news is slowly making its way through the tech blogs.

I just tried uploading a file saved as Powerpoint (ugh) from OpenOffice. First attempt - server error. Second attempt - success. On the whole, the import preserved formatting pretty well, except for some text formatting (spacing changes, tab stops vanish). Two attempts to display the online slideshow have resulted in a black window with no slides. Oh, and you can only save as zipped HTML.

Early days - let’s hope they iron out the bugs and introduce OpenOffice import/export soon.

No time for bioinformatics blogging just now.
Thought I’d share this time-lapse video with you instead (click “see video” or follow the link). I’m a sucker for time-lapse.
