First of all, I would like to say sorry, this blog was suppose to be an operating systems related blog, but it ends up to be some kind of internet related blog. Some of my friends asked me why I don’t post any tips and tricks and etc about operating systems. Well my friends, tips and tricks of ANY operating systems are now fully packed available around the internet, just Google, Yahoo!, Ask, MSN it and you’ll get tons that you couldn’t finish. To be frank, due to the paid post I’ve been writing and the keywords were all around the life, insurance, credit card and etc has gotten me here today. Let’s put it this way now, this is a blog ON operating systems, there you go, sound much more to do than sticking with operating systems only This blog is one of my best acne treatment, although there was some lack of update recently, but don’t worry, once I have my stuff off update will be frequent.
Done my apology and my explanation, allow me to continue the main topic Very quick, personal branding. I’ve been following with Fakesteve blog and Chedet (Former Malaysia Prime Minister blog) for sometimes, and they have a good branding of themselves. But I would say Fakesteve would champion all the way on personal branding. As most people know that Fakesteve isn’t the real Steve Jobs, but I don’t want to care first, doesn’t matter he is or he isn’t, the branding and getting the most out from the blog is very successful.
This guy (Let’s say it’s someone else) has a very clear mind and understanding of Steve Jobs. Along the way, all the entries made were consistent, the pride and the arrogance are all over the blog. From the first day I clicked into this blog, it already has Google Adsense there, after a period, Amazon was in then blah blah blah, all in. And I predicted that this guy behind the blog must have something wanted to do with this blog. Look into the most recent entry, he is writing a book now, costing? Heh, don’t mention.
Now you think the book is can’t sell? First, Steve Jobs has been storming the computer industry since 2002 (As I know, correct me if I’m wrong) after the come back on 1997. “Apple Mac” became something that is so familiar few years back, then came iPhone that storming the whole mobile phone industry. If you’re still wondering what could you do to make some traffic (Read: TRAFFIC ok?) from your blog, “Steve Jobs” could be a keyword you can choose
And again, I present to you, the power of Automator. This time round, it’s about renaming file and bulk of files.
Watch this! It’s simple to do anyway. I’ve dump the ExifRenamer application once I found out that Automator can do exactly the same and yet, better than ExifRenamer. Let’s face it, ExifRenamer don’t give you choose of your own file name, it only support date rename, adding sequential and some bulk of funny weird name. Well, beside the plugin-only-name, you can actually use Automator at the same time to rename whatever name you want, it will be on next entry See you around, have fun exploring the robot with a kitchen faucets on hand (Automator logo)
I keep checking the software update from time to time hoping… 1, An update that fix the screen flickering problem.
Recently it keep happening back on my Macbook again, although it has been sometimes that it doesn’t happen B ut it’s annoying you know? 2, USB ports giving me a headache.
My mouse doesn’t seems to work so perfect nowadays too. After wake up my Macbook from sleep mode, the mouse red LED light underneath it gone! I have to re-plugin my mouse again. 3, Airport doesn’t work like charm anymore.
To tell you the truth, it’s been quite a while my Airport doesn’t work well, especially when we just changed a new wireless modem. I like to use wireless compare to ethernet which messing up with the Macbook left sidebar Well, I used only the adapter, the mouse and a speaker, any edition to the sidebar cause a mess! It doesn’t matter how much engraved plaques trophies has Apple win now, it’s about the software quality!
So… Where is Apple update coming? Anyway, it’s might be that the launching of Leopard is the death of Tiger
Actually I forgot how it called, but it’s something like “Windows Pictures Viewer” or so, it’s the software that preview pictures, duh! Whenever I have a bunch of pictures to print for my research journal I’ll definitely look for a PC instead of a Mac, because printing from Windows Picture Viewer is just way too much easy…
It let me choose any pictures that I wanted to print in a particular folder. Now, I don’t need to adjust and put them all together in Photoshop or illustrator like I do always when I’m using a Mac Because…
Everything will be arranged by themselves in a few ways according to my preferences. Simple eh? Or maybe that’s the reason people said PC is for business man? Well, in some way, it’s true, since they do print stuff. Mac? Come on… The best thing I found in Preview is just save a webpage screenshot, open pdf file and images, resize image and nothing more…
Well, there isn’t this click that let you set your desktop background (Wallpaper for Windows users) in Mac, you’ll need to go to the System Preferences and click on Desktop then click on the folder and look for your picture, what a hassle to do all this just to get to change your background isn’t it? Look at what I have…
By the way, I don’t need to open the picture too, all I need to do is just right-click (CTRL+Click) at the icon and I get to change it in no time. That’s the wonder of Automator! Today, I’m going to tell you how to do it in just a few steps It’s very simple actually, open Automator and look into both of these:
Simple eh? Once you’re there, drag and drop the “Set the Desktop Picture” into another column:
You’re done, all you need is to save this file into a plug-in in order to let the Automator on your right-click (CTRL+Click) to work…
You can name the plug in to whatever you like, as long as you remember
Beside this, I find that bulk rename and bulk resize or simply resize one file can be useful for some people as well. Previously I use this little software name ExifRenamer to bulk rename all my pictures/videos files, as I thought there wasn’t any other thing that can bulk rename, until I found the power of Automator The rest will be on next entry
