Helping someone- who is helping someone

Our great passion and joy at Tiki Multimedia is helping someone, who in turn uses what we have given, to help someone else. Our individual team members as well as the company often gives charitable donations to amazing organizations we work with like: Heart & Soul, 7th Street Treatment and KCPW.

Today we are very excited to be working with an amazing community organization called Options Independence. This organization helps individuals with disabilities connect to resources which help them become more independent. The the Executive Director, Cheryl Atwood approached us with the hope to revamp their website and our entire team was thrilled. We all know that if we can help Options Independence simplify things on their end, that means they can allocate more resources and human power to help more people.

We are in the planning phase of this project now but they know that they want a more responsive website for viewing on multiple devices, the ability to collect information digitally and also to interact with their community more effectively. We will link the finished product when done.

Helping Schools Setup Remote Learning Education from Home During COVID-19

While schools shut down and students stay home - instead of attending school each day in Utah, many schools are scrambling to find a solution for remote learning, online classrooms and video conferencing. While there are many e-learning solutions out there including: Canvas, Google Classroom, Udemy, Emodo LMS, Schoology, etc. All of these solutions are fantastic but they take time and knowledge to implement.

Ubuntu 18.04 CUPS + Google Cloud Print

EDIT:
In 2020 Google pulled the plug on Google Cloud Print and with it much functionality for larger business, school and enterprise copiers and printers. Please see the recent blog post about one feature recently added to CUPS on Chrome "Input Tray" paper selection.

This is an alternative tutorial to Google's officially maintained Google Cloud Print Connector. This tutorial does not require Chromium to be installed on the Ubuntu computer. This could also be done in a very similar manner on Rasbian, Raspberry PI for a very low profile and low energy print server. My tutorial was for Kyocera's new printers 2019 series of TaskAlfas which have Google Cloud Printing built in but are still lacking some functionality. This setup allowed us to use the PPD's provided by Kyocera in order to get all the functions available under the More Settings -> Advanced Settings dialog.

Animate with SVG

SVG is an XML encapsulated vector image file that many websites use because the files can be small and yet, since they are vector based images, they can be scaled to any size. This works very well for responsive sites, logos and branding or other imagery that needs to look good on a variety of displays.

A simple example of this is our logo as you can see here it is quite crisp and easy to recognize and read.
