Over the past few weeks, I have been uploading scanned images from my old drawing book. For a change, I decided to try my hand at colourizing one of the pencil sketches using PhotoShop. Let me know if you like the result!

How to add musical notation to Microsoft Office

May 9th, 2007

You may be familiar with the following musical notation.

  • flat (â™­)
  • natural (â™®)
  • sharp (♯)

If you want to use musical notation in a Word or Excel document, there are two ways to do it.

Method 1

  1. Go to Insert Menu > Symbol to get the Symbol dialog.
  2. Change the font to “MS Mincho”.
  3. Scroll down, and you will find the characters you want.
  4. Click on the Insert button to add the character to your document.

Method 2

This method employs keyboard shortcuts.

  • Type 266d and press Alt+X (â™­)
  • Type 266e and press Alt+X (â™®)
  • Type 266f and press Alt+X (♯)

I had trouble figuring it out myself. Hope this information is useful to you.

Troubleshooting WordPress

May 2nd, 2007

After 24 hours of suffering, I have finally been able to resolve a nasty problem that was plaguing this blog. In case you are interested, you can read about it at the WordPress forum.

Unable to access home page

The problem was that I had turned on gzip compression, and things went down all the way from there. Thanks to the helpful folks on the WordPress forum, especially Jeremy Clark.
