Lubuntu 14.x RDP and accessing the home desktop aka Desktop:0

Installed tight VNC using this as a guide here:

AskUbuntu https://askubuntu.com/a/143113/824647

The piece I had been missing was the port. in a multi user environment the port also connects to the desktop. Desktop 0 (zero) is the default desktop. so I set my INI file accordingly to ask5900 so it will ask but prepopulate with the desktop zero which passes on port 5900.

RealVNC setup

1. Uninstallation of the default Ubuntu VNC server (Vino):
Go to: System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager Search for the "Vino" package, Mark For Removal, Apply.
2. Installation of TightVNC and XRDP:
While you are using Synaptic Package Manager, seacrh for "tightvnc" package (be careful, not "xtightvnc") and Mark For Installation. Likewise, search for the "xrdp" package and Mark also For Installation. Apply. PS: if you want, you may discard any other "vnc" package that you don't need!
3. Configuration of XRDP (Optional)
Open a terminal and type the three following commands:
cd /etc/xrdp cp xrdp.ini xrdp.ini.bak
 sudo gedit /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
Remove Xrdp2-Xrdp6 sections, leave only the Xrdp1 section. Your xrdp.ini should look like this:
[globals]bitmap_cache=yesbitmap_compression=yesport=3389crypt_level=lowchannel_code=1 [xrdp1]name=RDP_To_TightVNClib=libvnc.sousername=askpassword=askip=127.0.0.1port=ask5900
4. Connecting
Restart the system and you are ready to connect!
To connect from another Ubuntu machine, use: Applications --> Internet --> Terminal Server Client, type the IP of your Ubuntu VNC machine, use RDPv5 or RDP, click Connect!
To connect from a Windows-based machine, use: Start --> Run --> mstsc, type the IP of your Ubuntu VNC machine, click Connect.
When connected, use your Ubuntu user account credentials (u/n and p/w) and remotely login to your desktop.

Revit area plans adding new types and references (Gross and rentable)

Image
Note to self: Add additional (duplicate) gross area and net area schemed under Area Plans And Area schemes... Really counter-intuitive place to put this instead of say...  Area Plans> New Type> Edit Type (ADD) or Create an area plan, then Go to Properties, Edit Type and Duplicate... Always seem to forget this one! 2015-10-16-And for the calculation type... To update: this also applies to Revit as well as LT- The gross calculations cannot be overridden, however the 'rentable' comes in various flavors... From AD Revit help: Applies to Revit LT 2015 Rules are determined by one type of space bordering another space. The following table shows area measurement rules. To find the appropriate measurement rule, find the selected Area Type and the corresponding Bordering Area Type. Gross Building Area Scheme Types Gross Building Area Scheme Types Area Type Selected Bordering Area Type Measurement Rule Gross Building Area Gross Buil

Powerpoint countdown and current time in slides VBA

Add text fields- this VBA searches through the objects in the first frame until it finds " " in the text some where, truncates everything from and to the right and replaces it with an active countdown timer or current time in the box. Refreshes every 500ms with a prtsafe call so it doesn't bog down the CPU. Add a slide advance to start the next slide and begin automated slide advancement. Attribute VB_Name = "Countdown" Private Declare PtrSafe Function WaitMessage Lib "user32" () As Long Public Sub Wait ( Seconds As Double ) ''non cpu-intensive wait timer '' https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57268161/sleep-wait-timer-in-powerpoint-vba-thats-not-cpu-intensive Dim endtime As Double endtime = DateTime.Timer + Seconds Do WaitMessage DoEvents Loop While DateTime.Timer < endtime End Sub Sub Countdown_from_Start () Dim Time As Date Dim Count As
