1. Another batch to send to Doug. - Steve Koch

2. What's EarI site on Lambda DNA? - Steve Koch

3. Evan's tweezers? Need bigger beads probably for >20 pN - Steve Koch

4. AOM system quote from Neos. We want 1-D AOM for 1064 nm, relatively small beam size. Whole system includes: AOM crystal module; direct digital synthesis (preferrably PCI card; actually we may not need this, we just want to make sure frequency is very stable); RF amplifier. Eddie Young may still be the guy to talk with. Just amplitude modulation (quick), not deflection. - Steve Koch

5. one initial thing could just be non-velocity clamp unzipping as a good setup for testing helicase - Steve Koch

6. we can use crappy (jumpy) velocity clamp for initial unzipping, and then switch to piezo ramp (no power modulation) for the SDM unzipping (can use the serial command to switch powers so it's not jumpy) - Steve Koch

7. Drift with the periscope (or other element) is probably still a problem - Steve Koch

8. Actually, with the isolator, maybe the power modulator would also be good - Steve Koch

9. Think about the On-Trak QPD system (it's nice because it has adjustable gain) - Steve Koch

Did you give Camtasia a try? - Jean-Claude Bradley

Not yet. I haven't put much effort into the making of. I do think I will give it a try for my actual talk. Have you ever used Cam Studio? It's free and does the same thing (supposedly) as Camtasia and I was just wondering about the comparison. - Anthony Salvagno

I've tried to use CamStudio over the years but always had a problem with the output in a format suitable for uploading. Camtasia allows you to edit audio and video and output to many different formats. But recently I've been uploading FLV files directly to SciVee - which gives me high resolution and tiny file size. I think CamStudio outputs FLV - maybe try that and let me know? - Jean-Claude Bradley

I bet zoho is better than Google Docs. Slideshare? - Steve Koch

I thought about slideshare. I just figured it was easier to upload to google since I will have like 30 iterations of the talk by then. I guess I can post my practice talk at that time. - Anthony Salvagno

Worth taking a look at Zoho (or actually maybe even Office Live). Google version of powerpoint is awful. - Steve Koch

It is awful but in Zoho can you do an online presentation the same way as GDocs? If you upload a presentation from elsewhere GDocs is usually olk - Cameron Neylon
