It is not a rare occasion for Beck to be excited about a new creation on Etsy.com or some fantastic sale she has been emailed. However, it is rare for me to share the same enthusiasm about purchases on the web… until I caught wind last week of the Apple spring media event on January […]
Last night I spent about an hour following the instructions laid out on this site…and I am sooo happy with it!! It was really easy to grab the programs and mostly idiot proof to put it all on the usb drive. After that it was butter! Boxee.tv is incredible the way they take all the […]
I kept getting an error that either said “The uploaded file could not be moved to…” or “Couldn’t write file:” I tried several different ‘solutions’ but most of them had to do with using chmod commands and allow some serious security risks (changing your gut files to be able to be written by anyone). But […]
You have to install the Mac Developer tools for this to work (to use FileMerge) but it is a free download on the Mac Dev Site. Basically, he gives instructions to see exactly what a given program installs… Check it out here!
So this is my first entry from my iPod….not even sure if this is going to work but we will see. As if I don’t spend enough time on my computer as it is…
Back in January, I posted some programs that I through were essentials for a new mac to have…Well, I have a few more to add to that list that I have come across…These all have a distinct media lean by the way…. MPEG Stream Clip Wiretap Pro Flash Player WMVPlayer (Flip4Mac)
The kingfish at Big Fish Films called me and asked me to spec out a system for him. They are wanting to upgrade from the Dual Mac Tower that I speced for him a little over three years ago. So I thought I would post what I find here for anyone to use as reference… […]
There have been a bunch of rumours going around about the new MacBook Pro…or rather if there is a new MacBook Pro and when it is coming…so for those of you who have been asking…(Dad, Beck, G.I. Julie, etc.) here is what I have found so far…. There are a couple of screen shots here […]
I was trying to figure out how to keep certain documents private, especially since this is a company computer. If anything happened to it, i wouldn’t want passwords or sensitive files to get out and this is a pretty easy way to have a “folder/drive” that is updateable. Just click on the “read more” link […]
One of the things I dread most about upgrading wordpress (and actually the thing I least like about wordpress over all) is the actual deleting and uploading of the upgraded files. However, with the new MacFusion (which uses MacFuse from Google) it is super easy to mount an FTP site through an SSH connection. Now […]
The Daily Download: OneClick your way to a shapelier blog I found this as I was perusing the net looking for a new piece of blog software. the Scribefire plugin wasn’t working for hte longest time…login issues that apparently other people were having as well. Then all of a sudden it started working again…ahh well. […]
I am trying out yet another blogging program…this one is called Journal and it was recommended in the August 2007 edition of MacWorld. UPDATE: I ran a few test on it such as posting with images, re-editing a post, etc. and I wasn’t impressed. It didn’t post the image and instead of posting a re-edit, […]
I noticed the effects of this virus a few weeks ago (Word kept asking me if I wanted to enable macros whenever I would open a file that I had recently saved). Generally, I always tell word to disable any macros because so few files ligitimatley use them. I didn’t pay to much attention to […]
I found a really cool extention for blogging straight from Firefox. The cool thing is that since it runs off of Firefox, I have the same blog interface for both Mac and PC. Give it a try! Powered by ScribeFire. UPDATE: Check out my latest entry here.
Trying to figure out how to back files and folders up to an “off-site” location (i.e. online storage) had been a real pain as of late…I tried all the different ones like XDrive (now in with AOL), and a couple others that I can’t remember off the top of my head. Then I decided to […]
Seems like I am always needing a startup key combination or application shortcut to make my Mac do what I want it to…so, here are some websites that have pretty good references for shortcuts…. Silent Way – This site has probably the best resource on startup shortcuts. Official Mac List – This is off of […]
I have been cleaning some of the macs off around the office. We needed to wipe some computers and reinstall the essential programs. Just for grins (and so I have somewhere to go back and double check) I am posting a list of basic programs that we put on the computers in the office… ~MSOffice […]
This is to cool!!!! Check out the live updates from the announcement here! http://live.macobserver.com/article/2007/01/mwsfkeynote.shtml UPDATE: Here is the offical site and info… http://www.apple.com/iphone/
This is a testing post. I just got this plugin from minimalverbosity that records the information from itunes on what song you are listneing to and automatically puts it in the post. Lets see if it works…
Today I ‘found’ iTunes radio…i am already a big itunes fan but the radio stream are just icing on the cake! So i was working and switching between the comedy stream and the news stream…that was a little wierd and kwirky but it made the day just a little bit easier to get through… i […]
