What a ingenious little plastic thingy. “Keep-A-Cable” has the overview for a cable organiser (and holder), that I have looked for so long! Just ordered one. Hope it keeps what I hope it promises. http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/002864.php

Save files online (and syncing) them too

» 12 June 2008 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

There are many ways of saving files online and possibly syncing them thereby. Here are some alternatives I have found:

- Skydrive (5gb free),

- MSN shared folder,

- Office Live (integrated with the MS Office suite)

- Gdisk (a software that turns your GMail account into a portable hard drive)

-mailbigfiles.com (not really storage as such, only another way of distributing large files rather than sending via email, but I find their free service better than YouSendits)

-YouSendit(not really storage as such, only another way of distributing large files rather than sending via email)

- Amazon S3 ($0.15 per GB-Month of storage used AND monthly trafic cost)

- Apples mobile.me (Individual One-year subscription $99)

And finally my favourite: Dropbox (invitation only, but giving you 2gb free, with cross-platform functionality and web interface too. And its just drag and drop!)

Unlock several files at once – osx

» 13 January 2008 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

This fantastic application, LockMeBaby, does what osx should be doing on its it: namly being able to unlock several files, folders and subfolders in one go! It even works on external harddisks.

http://soramimi-works.net/software.shtml

I sent the company an email with some questions and rapidly got a reply:

Here’s how to lock/unlock files on external drives by LockMeBaby:
1) Uncheck “Run in safe mode” in the preference panel.
2) Select “/ (Root)” from the popup as browser’s root directory.
3) In the leftmost column, you’ll find a directory “Volumes”. Your
external drives should be listed under “Volumes” directory.

Hope this helps and please be careful when you turn off “Safe mode” as
many system-related files appear in LockMeBaby’s browser.

PowerPoint Tip: AutoFit (automatically resize text)

» 02 December 2007 » In Uncategorized » No Comments


AutoFit Text in PowerPoint

In PowerPoint AutoFit intentionally shrinks the size of text as large amounts are added to a slide. The top complaint about PowerPoint slide presentations is text that is too small. PowerPoint Design templates were originally created to force good design by setting font size automatically. The AutoFit feature defeats this purpose and actually encourages too much text on slides by shrinking it as you type, allowing people to use fonts too small to be seen.

To turn AutoFit off:






bullet

Choose Tools from the pull-down menu

bullet

AutoCorrect Options

bullet

Click the tab for AutoFormat As You Type

bullet

Uncheck the 2 options under the Apply as you type section:
AutoFit title text to placeholder
AutoFit body text to placeholder.

bullet

Click OK. The change applies to active and future PowerPoint presentations, old presentations are not affected.
