Unlock several files at once – osx
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.

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)
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:
Choose Tools from the pull-down menu |
|
AutoCorrect Options |
|
Click the tab for AutoFormat As You Type |
|
Uncheck the 2 options under the Apply as you type section: |
|
Click OK. The change applies to active and future PowerPoint presentations, old presentations are not affected.

Mail big files for free
Got big files you say? Outlook or Thundbird inbox gets filled up too fast? Well, sending files via websites are a good solution. I usually use mailbigfiles.com for sending big files. However that site has a restriction of 100mb (the free version of the site, that is)
This site is free too, but has a 2gb (!) limit. Though you have to register and tried it once and it just stopped. So I guess its not that good after all…?

Free too, 2gb limit. Havent tried it yet. But both are worth a shot.
