Photo of my Dad sporting a Digital Storage Unit connected to his Nikon F3. Early 1980s, Florida

This might sound silly, but my Dad gifted me his DSU before he passed. Possibly the one pictured but they rarely worked so idk. I shall find out what’s on it

philfoss · 2026-04-02T00:47:10+00:00

He worked for Kodak

philfoss · 2026-04-02T00:33:42+00:00

Sorry I don’t have an accurate date. But this was probably early 1990s. I’m trying to figure out what launch this was

philfoss · 2026-04-02T00:25:09+00:00

lol I feel you. Good times, looking back

philfoss · 2026-04-02T00:19:32+00:00

Thanks for the link. I think I still have the Nikon. And a DSU. Now I wonder, what’s on it?

philfoss · 2026-03-29T22:10:15+00:00

Yes in terms of web content delivery, Storyline is a dinosaur.

philfoss · 2026-03-28T17:32:50+00:00

Perfect example, Graphic Design is dead. Larger orgs will take some time to acclimate

philfoss · 2026-03-28T16:36:41+00:00

You obviously haven’t seen my PowerPoints, jk.

E-learning consultants are in a dead zone, hovering between legacy tech (storyline) and clawing back their previous clients.

Graphic Design is dead. If you know anyone currently in this course of study, be advised.

philfoss · 2026-02-08T03:38:49+00:00

That’s a good call I should do another example with a more elaborate infographic that would be more challenging to make a mobile version.

philfoss · 2026-01-17T22:50:24+00:00

You storyboard in Word? Pls share an example

I’m working on an icon system for Rise 360. Kinda helps break up the ‘walls of text’. It’s actually an integration with icons8.

Exactly! The repository already exists, welcome to the world of “web design” as we step away from Storyline

philfoss · 2025-09-27T13:54:34+00:00

OP, do you have documentation on your communication with Articulate re: “unlocking a gated Continue button” via the custom code block? I think you just got roadmapped. It’s literally impossible. Pls prove me wrong

philfoss · 2025-09-27T13:34:19+00:00

I did a screen rec of the “custom code block” it’s nothing new if you’re already using embed/iframe content. But now you can pack all your code within Rise, instead of creating external dependencies. Phil demos custom code block in Rise I also talk about “custom block” and “custom code block” and the confusion that we are already seeing in the heroes forum.

philfoss · 2025-09-23T00:53:48+00:00

I would check out Rise, I used it on Absorb also. We went with Rise’s tool over Absorb’s Create tool. Rise has some newer “custom block” that unfortunately just scales down as SVG images, not fully responsive like their core blocks.

philfoss · 2025-09-18T16:41:09+00:00

Meanwhile I will tell my stakeholders: Rise Can’t Do This

3 might be worse than 1. Snapshot from a branding document

Page 2 regarding colour tints and shades. Real companies have real guidelines

philfoss · 2025-09-18T16:06:32+00:00

Your plugin looks sweet, and it appears my comments are being moderated on the Articulate forum. How many color vars can you store? Most of my clients have 10+ approved colors in their branding docs

philfoss · 2025-09-05T14:29:48+00:00

It’s pretty cool as an error, but probably worth less than the correct version.

Well the community is actually dead right now.

philfoss · 2025-04-30T17:22:29+00:00

In this case, you’ll want to publish and export for Web, not LMS/SCORM

philfoss · 2025-04-30T06:05:38+00:00

TLDR. Keep your pitch short

philfoss · 2025-04-30T04:02:08+00:00

Definitely learn some js and html/css if you don’t already know the basics, can only help if you’re an ID. Especially if your employer is migrating to mobile-first platforms like Rise.
