Program
All sessions took place in the Harry Hickman Building on the University of Victoria Campus (see location map or full building details).
This page has been supplied with a print stylesheet, so when you print it from your browser, you should see a useful table with no extraneous information (no menu, no images, etc.). However, you can get even better results by tweaking the browser print setup. The best approach is this:
- Don't use Internet Explorer 6; it's ancient and can't handle stylesheets properly. IE7 is fine, as is any other contemporary Web browser.
- Go into your browser's print options settings (sometimes this is Print Preview / Page Setup, Print Preview / Options, or just Page Setup, depending on your browser).
- Turn off the Header and Footer. Browsers usually give you unnecessary information such as the date/time you printed the document, the URL, and so on, on every page of your printout. This is usually a pointless waste of ink.
- Turn on, or off, "Print background colours" (or the equivalent), depending on your taste. Background gradients are used in the table header rows, and these will probably make the page easier to navigate, but if you don't want to waste blue ink, you can turn them off. (In Internet Explorer 7, this is in Tools / Internet Options / Advanced / Printing.)
- Make sure you print only the pages you need. If you're just printing the schedule for one day or one session, there's no need to generate eight or nine pages.
These instructions will not be included in your printout.
