Little Adjustments March 28
I am still having to tweak ScribeFire because it is messing with the template settings on the blog….

DPReview.com March 27
I get asked all the time about this Digital SLR or that Point-and-shoot…and today I am going to give up probably the best place to find out about a specific camera or brand.
DPReview
DP Review has indepth reviews, spec. lists, and techical information but it is all laid out in such a way taht the average joe blow can benefit and figure out if camera X is the best fit for them. You should deffinetly check them out…
ScribeFire March 23
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!

102,101,100…… March 22
Today is the official “100 days until we get married” day. (“I’m getting married in the morning, ding dong the bells are going to ring….”) It is actually not as scary as we (or at least I ) thought the 100th day would be: not in a “cold-feet” kind of way, but more in a “We really have a handle on this wedding thing” kind of way. Course, Becky would probably start to cite all the things that we have left to do…and there are quite a few. But all in all, for only having 6 months notice, we are well on our way to pulling together not only a beautiful wedding but one that Becky and I will be excited about and that we will claim as our own unique celebration!
Backup Delight March 5
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 use the free space I have available on my web hosting (about 100 GB’s @ 1and1.com) and the PC program, BestSync (on download.com) and everything worked like a charm.
Right out of the box (using the trial version) I backed up 2.2 GB of all different kinds of file without a hitch. It took a couple of hours, but I had no errors or timeouts; and I was able to let it run in the background.
Mac Shorcuts March 5
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 the mac website. There are also more articles that are linked at the bottom of this page.
