Mac OS X Hints: Search Google from any services-aware app
Apple Poised for FireWire Jump. “Having secured a position on the 1394 Trade Association board for one of its product developers and buoyed by the introduction of a bevy of new compliant devices, Apple now is preparing to move the FireWire I/O standard to higher speeds and higher exposure.” [osOpinion]
Blogger Pro is now available.
Palm rolls out wireless i705 With only 8 Mb of RAM in the device? Sounds a little low to me.
There’s a new iCab Beta for Mac OS X available.
EphPod Homepage: “EphPod is a program designed to make your iPod work with Windows.”
OK, is it correct to place one or two spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. I learned to put two spaces as a kid, but now I am told that it is correct to put one space in the era of computer typography.
It was a gorgeous day here today.
Jeez, I’m exhausted from all this upstreaming:-)
Norton Utilities for Macintosh (Beta Version for Mac OS X.) I would use this with great caution, and not on machines that have data that is worth anything to you. I’ve had so few problems with 10.1.2 thus far that I wonder if I really need Norton for X.
Panorama iPod Organizer This is a desktop app that writes phones numbers etc. as files with ID3 tags that the iPod will recognize. It’s an interesting idea, but I would so much rather see this capability built into the OS. I have to say, again, that the number one thing I would like my iPod to be able to do that it does not currently have is a clock. I would like to be able to see what time it is on the device. Adding an alarm clock feature would also be nice, so you could have a travel alarm clock with the purchase of some small portable speakers. Speaking of which, does anyone have experience with any of the small portable speakers on the market? I’d love to get a recommendation for a set that sound reasonably good, but are small enough to carry with me places.
Stanton Final Scratch looks like the next killer app in the DJ game.
This Apple Article talks about audio software and hardware that was announced for Mac OS X. It’s a pretty solid list of players, which makes me quite happy, even as a hobbyist.
It’s raining here again. Of course, it was seventy degrees here today, so I don’t have too much room for complaints. It does seem, however, that the rain is conspiring against my getting any yard work done around the house. Not that this place doesn’t have plenty of stuff that needs to be done inside. I am very much in need of stuff to hang on the walls in most of my house. I have apartment quality wall hangings that I want to phase out, and so I haven’t hung any of them. I did hang some of my animation cels. (I have a particularly good Scooby Doo and Shaggy cel with the actual production background.) These, however, give the house a certain childish vibe that I do not want to foster. Patience, I guess, is a virtue.
One CD that I missed out on somehow until this week is the new one from Sigur Rós. I would say that they are in the same musical family as Radiohead, but from the Icelandic branch of the family. It certainly evokes emotion as well as Radiohead does for me.
I have to agree with Mr. Barrett, who I am lifting this link from, but whose site you should be reading every day anyway. Macintosh Tech Tips has some really solid information and tips for the Mac OS X user.
The Unofficial Green Lantern Corps Web Page They have a listing of all known Green Lantern’s and their appearance history on this site. Talk about doing a thorough job at something that is very labor intensive. I don’t talk about comics much here because I haven’t bought a book in probably three years, but I have an extensive comic book collection, much of which I obtained while working at a comic shop.
One of the more popular records here in “The ATL” over the last few months has been PREFUSE73. I absolutely love it. Take regular DJ induced jazz drenched hip hop beats and throw them in a blender, and you have this group.
The Register: Antitrust legal beagles suing MS and DoJ I’m guessing that eventually, even people out of the loop are getting this picture. This settlement is not good for our Industry, for consumers, and was not come to in a proper legal manner based on all of the suits that are being brought as a result of it.
Stress makes me tired.
I can’t get a fix for this upstreaming problem soon enough. (not a complaint mind you, I know how hard this stuff really is.) just another publishing attempt:-)
Trying to update Radio Bump with one of Beowulf’s new themes. Assuming you are at “regular” Bump, go check it out.
