Digital Photo Software

A wide variety of digital photo software is available. Some of it can be very inexpensive and easy to use. Other digital photo software can be both complicated and expensive. Personally, I have used PaintShop Pro, Adobe Photo Shop Elements, and Adobe Photo Shop. Each of these programs has pros and cons. If you want … Read this review…

Mosaic

Included with Leopard, the latest version of Mac OS X, are several new screen savers, one of which is a new effect for the standard “display your photos” screen saver. The previous version only had (as far as I remember) the standard ‘slideshow’ with gentle zooming and panning effects — the new version includes two … Read this review…

Meow

Well, it’s been a little over three weeks since my last proper update so I’ve forced myself at fingers-looking-like-a-gun point to write another. If you’ve been paying attention you might remember that I’ve briefly mentioned before that I’m getting a new power-chair — things in my life that I look forward to have a habit … Read this review…

A mild annoyance

I’m still loving the MacBook and have set about having fun with Proxi, as you can see from the previous entry, but I have come across something slightly annoying. One of the triggers available for Proxi to act on is the Apple Remote although, as those of you with one may know, modern Macs can … Read this review…

The flying Ninja against a red Sun

As I mentioned before (and have kept on whinging about) the main drive in my iMac popped its clogs and I had to get it replaced. As I was reinstalling everything I tried to figure out how best to prevent a possible future occurrence having the same impact and the best (i.e. easiest) solution was … Read this review…

This is going to take a while

I’ve finally started encoding my DVDs onto my iMac so I can watch stuff in bed with the power of Front Row and AirClick and what better place to start than with my favourite films of the moment: The Lord of the Rings trilogy. If you know about codecs and other technical stuff relating to … Read this review…

“Agua” icon set

I’m a sucker for changing the icons on my iMac – I find a set I like, install them and then get bored after about a fortnight and change them to something else. This set by David Lanham, however, has been on my desktop for at least two months. All the usual folders are catered … Read this review…

Stattoo

This is another excellent application from Panic. Your digital life has a lot of statistics: incoming mail, appointments, disk space. Stattoo “tattoos” stats right on your desktop picture: out of the way, but always handy! You drag “capsules” of information onto a dock of sorts, in any order you like. This dock can be dragged … Read this review…

Delicious Library

I bought Delicious Library the day it was released … whenever that was – last year I think. I tinkered with it for a bit but then got bored of manually entering all my DVDs, CDs and books. If you’re in the dark: Delicious Library is a Mac OS X application that lets you catalogue … Read this review…
