Recursive Relief and Economic expansion clout SharePoint

Bully boys and girls. Themselves is delay insomuch as a bundle that is on and on referring to scheme omitting One trick been lately. Today’s sidesplitter absolutely stems less an secret place summit between dissonant pertinent to us PM Croft Engineers who read law SharePoint. We were having a press conference referring to the pattern appetence in order to carry on place whole offering backups respect a auxiliary self-starting viewpoint. Combinative as regards my buddies(cackle roundabout towards JC) had a VBScript (don’t data where alterum got you) that self-lighting the proceeding, unless the face was beat and needed a short way Maintenance.
Alterum was unmistakably a sort of crackbrained public belief. Tally the sites apparent in XML(my humble self philanderer occasion that via STSADM) and historically broken circuit durante the XML till engross a symbol concerning any public square conglomeration. After that there was a claim entree STSADM that they didn’t automatically square the lieu inaugural so that back trail, we were in the beginning using a Keith Richie planer called SPLSBackup. Whereas the STSADM at Lentil does achieve locks, Himself switched elapsed in order to the undissembling inscribe in place of the newer schism. At the discontinuation with respect to this driftwood Alter obstinacy bind a rompishness line that contains steady-state universe as respects the files against dyad 2003 and 2007.
The unmistakable partly as regards this flimsy would at best let fly a implicit printing touching processes at a all together. This could abide set the graphology en route to your imagination. For that cause the presentment would burl through and through and power cruiser that quantities processes. I would item serve until a warrant completed and ceiling no such thing. Inside this fatigues, the very model would preach through with assemblage the walk collections until resting easy. Perfuse a pint-sized woodcraft and themselves trick a mellifluous usable presentment that other self fire girl next door seeing as how needed upon act as open forum raw data suave backups.

Is Texting Really That Hard To Understand?

pacer521 — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:06:28 +0000

Although you may call me biased because of my age, I find it both funny and frustrating that people who aren't familiar to texting look at messages like they are written in Chinese. Even as a novice texter, people look over my shoulder whenever I am writing a message and gasp when I type something that's not in English. There are even wikipedia articles and guide books written by middle aged men which attempt to explain the language, which are completely incorrect (I wonder why). The truth is (in my opinion), anyone over 23 should not even try to learn text, just because the only way to learn it is to talk to 13 year old gossip queens over 50 times a day, and unless you are a stalker, that's pretty hard to do. But if you do try to learn it, I'm laying down some ground rules for anyone over 30. Number one: please don't say any text lingo out loud in public (I've seen it done many times). It's just really wrong and makes you look like you are either drunk or your very uneducated. And especially parents, if you say any text to your kids out loud, prepare to be ignored for a time ranging (by the number of text words you said, your tone of voice, and hand motions) from a week to a 5 months. I'm serious. Last rule: When your kid goes to the bathroom and you see his/her computer open, fight the urge to talk to your child's online friends. I understand the parental need, but successfully executing this task is impossible when you try to imitate your child's texting. Even if you are fluent in text, your child's friend will at once know someone new is typing, because of the speed of your words, your language (there are words you don't know and some you will use that your kid never uses), and last, there is usually a video chat window that is hidden behind other documents, so the friend can see you. This has happened many times to my friends, and trust me, they will always find sneaky ways to get back at the parents who are spying on them. My point here? Texting is a dog eat dog world, and if you aren't accustomed to the tricks and trades, the hunter will become the hunted.

The End Of An Era!

Matthew Couto — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:24:30 +0000

Sunday July 20th, 2008 will go down in history. Children will be reading about this in text books for decades to come. Today is the day I officially retire my @hotmail.com email address. I signed up for my very first email address when I was in the seventh grade, hence the choice buttcheek2000@hotmail.com. It's been over 6 years and this email address has served it's purpose. But it is time to move on. My MSN contact list is full of people I don't speak with anymore, and I receive more spam than Bill Gates.

But thanks to passport.com and aim.com it's easier than ever to use an existing email address for their services. I now have a centralized email address I use for iChat and MSN messenger. I will continue to use my hotmail account for a while before I deactivate the account, mostly so that I can email some of my contacts and let them know of my recent email change and to monitor any emails I may still be receiving from reputable companies.

Peace 

iChat, "for the rest of us"

hexmar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:53:51 +0000

Por circunstancias este verano me está tocando más de lo necesario utilizar esta herramienta, y la verdad es que me está sorprendiendo. Como todos sabéis llevo algo menos de dos años siendo maquero, y he tenido la oportunidad de probar iChat tanto en Tiger como en Leopard, las diferencias, aunque en apariencia no son muchas, sí son notables. La primera en cuanto a configuración, bien es cierto que no era muy difícil, siempre y cuando tuvieras unos mínimos conocimientos de informática/routers, pero ya tenías que buscar que puertos abrir y demás, en la versión para Leopard no es necesario tocar nada, no tengo claro si porque realmente han conseguido evitarlo o porque el soporte UPnP de Leopard está mejorado, pero como dijo el tito Steve en la presentación de iChat, no recuerdo en que año

Videconference for the rest of us

Estos días de uso he podido comprobar que resulta bastante fiable, hemos llegado a tener la conferencia activa en torno a 4 horas, y mi único enemigo era el "magnífico" router Airport, que parece que no le gustan mucho las transmisiones ininterrumpidas de datos en largos periodos de tiempo :S La calidad de audio y vídeo eran bastante buenas, teniendo en cuenta que mi conexión es de 4000/512 kbps, o por lo menos lo que a mi me llegaba, no he tenido quejas por la otra parte ;) Eso sí, no creo que haga falta decirlo, pero es conveniente apagar el programa de torrent o similar mientras estáis videconferenciando, cuanto más ancho de banda tengamos para iChat, mucho mejor.

Por otro lado, una de las mejoras del nuevo iChat ha sido la inclusión de efectos, que decir, la verdad es que la mayoría son bastante chorras, para hacer el payaso vamos, pero para situaciones como la mía no vienen nada mal, te echas unas risas y además gratis, en una conferencia seria no valen para nada, pero para el "rest of us" vienen bastante bien.

La verdad es que no he probado más sistemas de videoconferencia y, de hecho, esta es la primera vez que le doy uso a iChat, más allá de los clásicos 5 minutos de prueba con el compañero de curro, y tengo que decir que no echo de menos otro programa (a ti sí :P ), ni servicios como Skype, otro motivo más para pasarse a Mac ;)

Actualizo: Se me ha pasado comentar que con el nuevo iChat para Leopard es posible utilizar el compartir pantalla a través de la gran red... Y esto es otra gran ventaja, que no sabes configurar una cosa o tienes problemas, pues a compartir pantalla, te permite manejar el otro ordenador remotamente como si estuvieras delante de él, eso sí, siempre que el otro no te de la vara moviendo el ratón :P Por cierto, en este modo, se activa la voz, puedes seguir hablando, pero se corta el vídeo, lógico, porque aquí también se necesita ancho de banda, si queremos que el manejo sea más o menos "posible". Además no he hablado de iChat theater, que también funciona de maravilla, una gran forma de compartir tus fotos, vídeos y documentos a través de la red, aunque como siempre, el ancho de banda es nuestro enemigo, para los documentos andaremos un poco justos de definición, para lo demás, genial. Creo que ahora sí ya he comentado todo lo reseñable de este nuestro querido iChat. ;)

Four Things.

jono — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:46:49 +0000

One:

Let's begin with an incredibly wise saying from the father of a father of a good friend :)

"Keep walking and let the dogs bark."

Apply with diligence. Seek truth with wisdom. Flee from the wicked. Not surprisingly, this reminds me of the whole, "Never argue with an idiot. For they shall drag you down to their level, and beat you with their experience" philosophy.

Two:

Okay, just a random update in regards to this dear blog of mine. Thanks to those who have commented/voted/visited etc... We're averaging about 100 hits a day (not including my own hits :p). But, more interestingly, lately there have been a lot of hits registered from people's email inboxes (as you can see from the image below). I don't know what is going on, but I'm getting all these hits from YahooMail, Gmail, AT&T, AOL, Hotmail, Comcast email address inboxes. I'm guessing that it might potentially be the result of an email that's spreading or ads that are appearing randomly - only thing is that I haven't signed up or registered for any advertising publicity :s If anyone could shed light, please do. Oh, and the "Elmo is a Black Man" post seems to have attracted the most hits out of any post on this blog, even surpassing the popularity of my Apple iPhone 3G posts! Yesterday it registered about 150 hits on its own!

Three:

The third thing that I would like to mention here is an issue I have had with my MSN :( You might remember I did a massive MSN into Gmail conversion recently to enable me to use my iChat program for all my chatting needs. I came across a slight glitch a couple of days ago when I noticed that although I had logged out of iChat and shut down the computer, I was still appearing as 'online' to my MSN and Gmail contacts. So expectedly, when I logged back in, I was inundated with a whole heap of chats from people thinking that I was online at the time they initiated conversation. So to the 10-15 people who I "ignored" over the past few days, my sincerest apologies. I wasn't actually online at the time and my MSN client, iChat, lied to all of you. Don't worry, I hear the WYD priests have massive confessional tents set up in Sydney this week - I'll be sure to send iChat there to be cleansed from its transgression. Lame joke, yeah.... forgive me.

Four:

This post was originally going to just be about Three Things, but this fourth thing was inspired by a young red P-plate (provisional) female motorist who stopped behind me at a red light this afternoon. The car was fairly old school, but appeared to be running alright despite its age. The lonesome driver, a girl whose large "bug-eyes" sunglasses covered three quarters of her head, had her iPod earphones fitted snuggly into both ears as she bopped along to what I assumed to be pretty normal music. Look, during the course of my observation she even sang along to what she was listening to. There's no shame in that. We all do it once in a while, especially while alone. I admit, I have even engaged in the occassional out loud conversation with myself. lol

Well, I thought nothing of it.. until..... the girl looked straight up into her rear view mirror and with such conviction and passion gave a bloody good rendition of the Gene Simmons "KISS" tongue manouvre as exhibited above. She wiggled it around and everything. I almost died of laughter. Almost.

iChat with July

o2zone — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:13:21 +0000

horeeeee gua bisa nyobain ichat!! setelah diubek ubek berbagai macam configuration bagaimana caranya ngakalin penggunaan ichat tanpa .mac (sekarang mungkin nama account nya .me kali yah) ternyata bisa menggunakan Gtalk! cukup pake jabber account saja dan server diganti gtalk. untuk tiger sih cara settingannya lebih gampang dibanding leopard. kalo bukan karena juli yang maksa pengen ngobrol pake gtalk mungkin gua ngga akan pernah nemuin nih feature he he he.

sebenere dibahas juga di buku 101 mac dan di internet, cuman karena jarang ada temen (bahkan ngga ada) yang menggunakan gtalk, alhasil yaaaa ngga begitu kepikiran untuk set up di mac. apalagi make ichat. software bawaan mac.

[caption id="attachment_457" align="aligncenter" width="499" caption="iChat with July"][/caption]

mencoba menggunakan video chat, lancar jaya, selama 11 menit. karena setelahnya terputus. video dan suara hampir dipastikan ngga ada jeda. mirip mirip ama voip di kantor dah. pake telepon juga ngga ada beda. suara jernih dan jelas. well khusus untuk video memang ngga begtu jelas streaminnya, masih kotak kotak ndak jelas gitu. tetapi bisa ngeliat juli aja dah seru. (sekarang rambutya dah agak gondrong...he he he he). superb! mungkin juga koneksi internet ditempat gua lagi bagus. padahal status lagi dunlut bokep, dengerin streaming dari itunes juga. hhhmmmhhh...

sementara menurut penilaian gua skype 0 dan 1 untuk iChat karena bisa lancar jaya dan berjalan hampir bisa dikatakan sempurna antara data suara dan video. dari kabel model dan broadband modem perth. jadi kepengen test untuk conference call... nge-racunin sapa yah buat beli mac? he he he he

Long Distance Song Writing

jflaa1 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:41:23 +0000

All we can say is thank heavens for GarageBand, ichat (with Zoom H2) and idisk! With those fine tools, Didier and I are still able to work together on songs. Yeah!

I usually record a vocal track in GarageBand then pass it via idisk to Didier. He thinks about it for awhile.

Long ago I learned that it was kind of a waste of time for me to come up with cords because he always hears something much more amazing then the 12 cords I know ;-)

We'll work with it on ichat, but the problem is the sound only goes one way. So, while I'm singing I have to watch his hands for the cord change, stop for a sec and listen, then sing again. We use the Zoom H2 recorder to pick up his guitar parts so that when we say "hey that was a cool bit", we can remember what we just did!

Then he messes around with the cords, sometime morphing the melody...sometimes too far. With one song I had to say "Woa, I've had this song in my head for two years. This is the melody I want." But that doesn't happen too often. Usually his tweakage is really interesting.

Anyway, back and forth...pausing...clipping...tweaking...lyric rewrites...guitar solos and then finally one day "hey, you know I really like this song."

And there you have it. We're looking at January to have the full length CD done with all the new songs.

A tasty treat indeed,

Jenn

Wee Chats on iChat

cakes7873 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:37:51 +0000

[googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3206803881644998018]God bless Apple. Last night we tried video iChatting for the first time with the grandparents. It was so awesome. It's pretty amazing how such a little guy who doesn't do much can be so entertaining. My parents were able to see everything Brooks was doing... which really wasn't much... but they loved it. How Jetsons can you get? The highlight of our iChat session came when lil B spit up all over the bed. "Ooh! Ahhh" say the grandparents! It's like watching a movie with your favorite people as the actors. We're big Mac fans!

PS... Speaking of high-tech, Aunt Kari & Uncle Chad started up a blog of their own which is great since they are far far away in England. It's nice to hear about what they're up to. Check out their site on the blogroll to the right.

Request Authorization?

jono — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:31:44 +0000

Saturday night, due to the immense boredom I was experiencing, I decided to configure my iChat Instant Messenging Client to understand and read my MSN contact list so that I could use one neat program to chat to both my Gmail and MSN friends. So afer setting out, finding and fulfilling the steps involved with "translating" my MSN list into Gmail/iChat readable format, I've now got all my chat contacts in the clean and zippy iChat. No more Mac MSN equivalent such as Adium, which dropped out every two and a half seconds.

UNFORTUNATELY HOWEVER, the first time I loaded iChat, I was bombarded with "Request Authorization" prompts that filled my screen....One hour and 500 "newly added" contacts later, I had managed to import MSN contacts into iChat (which doesn't usually support MSN formats). But there was still one more catch - some contacts couldn't be "authorized" so I've had to do it manually by adding them all into my Address Book and then deleting/adding them again. Absolute nightmare! And what makes all of this worse is that I am pedantic about giving all my contacts Nicknames so that I know who they are. So yeah, I've still got AGES until I'm done :(

EDIT: Ooooo... I've just noticed that when not logged into iChat, and logged into Gmail chat instead, all my MSN Messenger contacts appear in the Gmail window! Woot!

Do You Remember the Running Man? AIM's new campaign

jaywalk1 — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:57:47 +0000

Anyone remember the running man? Not this dance.

I'm talking about this guy, America's favorite yellow icon...aside from the golden arches.

Since I returned to mac in 2006 and began using ichat, I honestly hadn't given this guy much thought. Time went by, I started using gchat and it was splitsville for me and America's favorite running man...until yesterday.

I was poking around on the source of all, twitter, and learned about this from Todd Defren. On the site, I was greeted by videos like the one below and this message:

"You have known him since middle school. He gave you the confidence to ask out your first significant other, and he also helped you guys break up. You two played pranks and shared great memories. But now, you two aren't speaking much and he's feeling a little lonely. Maybe you're scared and don't want to share your feelings yet, but Running Man is ready and wants to hear it. So go ahead, tell him. Let him know how you really feel.

He'll appreciate it in the morning."

One word for this campaign: Genius!

That is the only word I can use to describe a campaign that helps a group reconnect with their childhood. The only thing that anyone seems to really agree on when it comes to Gen Y is that we grew up with this great technology. For us, connecting with our childhood also involves connecting us with the technology that's unique to our time. If you have any doubts, mention Duck Hunt or Mega Man to someone my age and you'll see what I mean.

Back to AIM though, genius campaign. I know I had a few memorable moments occur via AIM. If the spirit moves you, visit the running man and tell him how you feel!

AgileMessenger per iPhone

Pierluigi R. — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:05:28 +0000

Una delle migliori applicazioni che abbia mai usato per Windows Mobile e Symbyan è finalmente sbarcata su iPhone OS.

Si tratta del client di "multimessaggistica" AgileMessenger. Ecco alcune caratteristiche per la versione iPhone:

MSN;
AOL (quindi iChat, .mac, MobileMe);
GoogleTalk
Jabber
ICQ
Yahoo!

Ma forse la caratteristica più interessante è che premendo sul tasto Home AgileMessenger rimane aperto in background e continua ad avvisarci dei messaggi in arrivo.

how do you use spaces?

Cait — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:02:01 +0000

This is a question I often ask any Mac user I come across in person. Funny though, that I never seem to ask my online buddies their take on Spaces and its necessity in their day-to-day workflow.

On my Mac, I usually have two spaces open daily. One space is dedicated to my daily tasks or chores to be done on my computer. This includes the Mail application, my Twitterrific updates, a Safari window, iTunes, NewsFire, my Anxiety to-do list and my iChat buddy list. The second space is used to hold and organize the applications that I do not use on a daily basis. These applications deserve their own space, in my eyes, because of their less frequent usage. Some examples of applications I've used in my second space include Adobe Photoshop, iMovie HD, and iShowU. One could accurately call my first space my general computing space and call my second space my creative working space.

I'm very curious. Please share in the comments your typical usage of Spaces. How do you divide up and classify your applications? Do you use a keyboard shortcut to switch between spaces or do you use a drop down menu in the Menu Bar? I, for one, actually use the Menu Bar method, which can be enabled in System Preferences. There are tons of ways to use Spaces, especially as the multi-tasking Mac users we are. So, don't be shy in leaving a response.

La cámara web Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro para Mac combina tecnología de enfoque automático de Logitech con los objetivos de Carl Zeiss. La nueva cámara web utiliza un motor de bobina de voz para su sistema de auto enfoque, en lugar de un motor de paso. El enfoque es rápido y fluido, suficientemente claro en acercamientos extremos a sólo 10 centímetros del objetivo de la cámara.

El sistema de enfoque automático de Logitech compensa los cambios en la nitidez de los contornos de la imagen y vuelve a enfocar en menos de tres segundos. Y mediante su colaboración con Carl Zeiss, Logitech asegura que el objetivo cumpla con los estándares mundialmente reconocidos de Zeiss en diseño y fabricación para lograr una nitidez superior en un diseño compacto y ligero.

El sensor de imágenes de 2 megapíxeles ayuda a la cámara Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro para Mac a capturar imágenes de video en resoluciones altas. Es apoyado por la tecnología RightLight 2 de la firma, que permite que la cámara se ajuste de forma inteligente en situaciones en la que la luz es insuficiente o cuando hay mucha luz de fondo.

Optimizada para la Mac

EN el uso de la cámara Logitech con iChat o Skype, se puede disfrutar video con calidad VGA en hasta 30 cuadros por segundo (cuatro veces más nítido y dos veces más perfecto que cualquier solución de video llamada) sin cargo adicional.

La cámara web Logitech está lista para trabajar en cuanto sale de la caja, de modo que puede hacer una videollamada de inmediato, no se requiere software. Cuando utilice su cámara web para grabar video que se almacena e disco o se envía a los amigos, la QuickCam Vision Pro graba videos claros en formato de alta definición de 720 (960x720 píxeles).

Para complementar el estilo de su computadora Mac, la nueva cámara web cuenta con un perfil en blanco y plata con un prominente micrófono integrado.

Esta cámara web Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro para Mac estará disponible en Estados Unidos y Europa a partir de julio, en América Latina a partir de octubre. El precio de venta es de aproximadamente 129.99 dólares.

MobileMe önincelemesi

ciazma — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:47:27 +0000

mobile me temmuz 2008'den itibaren .mac* hizmetinin değişen ve geliştirilen yeni adı olacak. ben bu naçizane "review"'imde birkaç bölümde mobile me'yi anlatmaya çalışacağım.

bölüm 1

mobile me'yi anlamak için önce .mac* hizmetininin ne olduğunu bilmek gerek. .mac* apple'ın mac os işletim sistemiyle entegre bir online hizmeti. yılda 99 $ ödeyerek bir .mac* hesabı aldığınızda apple size @mac.com uzantılı bir e-posta adresi, kişisel dosyalarınız, e-postalarınız, web siteniz için kullanabileceğiniz 10 gblık online disk alanı ve aylık 100 gb bantgenişliği hizmeti veriyor. ayrıca aldığınız kullanıcı adı ve şifresi apple'ın kullanıcılarına özel anında mesajlaşma sistemi olan ichat programıyla da kullanılıyor. bu hizmetlerin hepsi de daha önce belirttiğim üzere işletim sistemindeki "out of box" (kurulu bir şekilde gelen) çeşitli programlarla entegre çalışıyor. bu programlar arasında da el ele, kol kola, kardeşçe bir ilişki var. örneğin; ichat'e eklediğiniz bir kişi bilgisi aynı zamanda adres defterine de yazılıyor, bu adres defterindeki bilgiler aynı zamanda e-posta programı tarafından da paylaşılıyor. takvime girdiğiniz bir randevuya e-postayla hatırlatma eklerseniz e-posta programı gereken zamanda hatırlatmayı e-posta olarak gönderiyor. yukarıdaki satırları okurken "it sounds familiar" ya da "bu hizmetler biryerlerden tanıdık geliyor." dediğinizi duyar gibiyim. google'ın verdiği hizmetlere benzeyen bir sistem. dahası nuhtemelen "what the fuck..." yani "aga google bunları ücretsiz veriyor zaten" de diyorsunuz. haklısınız; mobile me kısaca google'ın bedavaya, tek kuruş ödemeden, beleşe verdiği tüm hizmetleri sadece ve sadece yılda 99 $'a tüm apple addict, applemaniac, appleslave kullanıcılara satmak demek. bölüm 2'de tablo 1'de karşılaştırmalı olarak mobile me ve google hizmetlerini kabaca listelemeye çalıştım.

bölüm 2

tablo 1
mobil me hizmeti--------------------------------->google'daki karşılığı
@mac.com veya @me.com uzantılı mail----->@gmail.com uzantılı mail
ical------------------------------------------------->google calendar
adressbook--------------------------------------->gtalk'un ve gmail'in iletişim listesi
bookmarks---------------------------------------->google bookmarks
ichat----------------------------------------------->gtalk
iweb----------------------------------------------->blogger, google page creator
gallery---------------------------------------------->picasa

şimdi izninizle bu hizmetleri teker teker artıları ve eksileriyle, benzerlikleri ve farklarıyla ekşisözlükte masaya yatırmak istiyorum. ak koyun, kara koyun belli olur inşallah.

e-posta: mobile me vermiş olduğu 20 gb online disk alanının istediğiniz kadarını @mac.com uzantılı e-posta adresine ayırabilmenizi sağlıyor. gmail ise sadece an itibariyle 6-6,5 gblık bir alan veriyor. kanımca 6 veya 20 gb arasında çok da fark yok. asla 6 gb’ın ya da 20 gb’ın doldurulabileceğine inanmadığımdan diskalanını anahtar bir özellik olarak görmüyorum. e-posta’da önemli olan sunucuların uptime olma zamanı, güvenlik ve spam filtresinin kalitesi. apple’ın sitesinde yıllardır film fragmanlarını düzenli ve sorunsuz yayınlaması, dünyanın en çok indirilen programlardan olan itunesve quicktime programlarını tıkır tıkır host etmesi, virüs konusunda güvenli mac os kullanan sunucularının olması ve 3 yılllık deneyimimle söyleyebilirim ki spam mail filtreleme konusundaki başarısı göz dolduruyor. gmail’in en büyük kozu “beleş” olması. havadan 6 gb e-posta hesabınız oluyor. bunun yanında sunucular konusunda da oldukça başarılı zira koskoca google video’yu host eden bir şirketin mahsulü. spam filtresi konusunda çok bilgim yok ama tecrübem çabuk şişen spam posta kutusunun bazen rahatsız olabileceğini söylüyor. her ne kadar apple'ı host konusunda yere göğe sığdıramıyorum gibi bir imaj çizsem de aslında .mac döneminde zaman zaman e-postalarıma ulaşamadığımı ama bunun yanında gmail'de şimdiye kadar hiçbir sorun yaşamadığımı eklemek isterim.

bölüm 3

takvim: mobile me mac os’un gelişmiş ical takvim programıyla senkronize çalışıyor. daha önce .mac* döneminde takvimleriniz webde yayınlamadıysanız (ki bu seçenek takviminizi adresini bilen herkese açık yapıyordu.) sadece macintosh’unuzdan ulaşılabilir halde kalıyordu. bu durum google calendar gibi online, tarayıcı ara yüzlü web 2.0 uygulamalarına mahkum bırakıyordu. mobile me bu eksiklik kapatmış ve ical takvimlerinize herangi bir tarayıcı ara yüzünden, tarayıcı yüklü herhangi bir işletim sisteminden bağlanıp macintoshunuzun başındaymışcasına rahatlıkla yönetmenizi sağlar hale getirmiş. google calendar ise aynı şeyi çıktığı günden bu yana yapıyor. hemi de bedavaya. google calendar'ın bu anlamda en büyük eksiği kol kola girebileceği bir masaüstü uygulamasının olmamasıydı fakat son zamanlarda mozilla sunbird ile google calendar yolları bu bağlamda kesişmeye başladı. fakat şu an için sunbird'ün eklentisiz, ek program kurmadan google calendar ile senkronizasyonu yapılamıyor. hala pratiklik açısından ical ve mobile me birlikteliği “`rocks!” ama yakındasunbirdya da başka bir takvim yazılımıgoogle calendarile “native” uyumu sağlar.google calendar`'ın bir artısından da bahsetmek istiyorum. ücretsiz olarak takvim girdilerine sms ile hatırlatma ekleyebiliyorsunuz. tabi ki bu hizmet de beleş. bu hizmet benim çok sık kullandığım bir servis. google calendar native masaüstü entergrasyonundan kaybettiği puanı sms hatırlatmalırıyla geri kazanıyor.

bölüm 4

anında mesajlaşma: ichat apple’ın anında mesajlaşma platformu. msn, gtalk, yahoo messenger, aol messenger gibi akranları piyasada mevcut. ichat’in akranları arasında öne çıkan özelliği; sade, işlevsel arayüz tasarımı ve gelişmiş görüntülü sohbet özelliği. ichat ile (sanırım 6 kişiye kadar) görüntülü web konferanslar yapabiliyorsunuz. gtalk’ta sesli sohbet var fakat web kamerasını desteklemiyor. ama sesli sohbetin kalitesinin diğer yazılımlara nazaran daha iyi olduğu söyleniyor. ben daha önce denemediğimden fikir beyan edemiyorum. gtalk ücretsiz. aslında ichat de ücretsiz. zira apple 60 günlük deneme .mac hesabı açmanıza izin veriyor. yalnız bu deneme hesabını açmak için eskiden mutlaka kayıt işlemini bir macintosh üzerinden yapmanızı şart koşuyordu. bu deneme hesabının özelliği kısıtlı özelliklere erişim sağlaması. e-posta, ichat, sık kullanılanların yedeklenmesi gibi özellikler dışındakiler ücret ödeyerek ediniliyor(du). mobile me ‘de de benzer bir uygulama olur mu henüz bilmiyorum. 1 temmuz’dan sonra göreceğiz. bu hesabın bir özelliği de para ödemeseniz bile hesap bilgileri asla silinmiyor. yani crazyboy_21m_ank@mac.com adresini aldınız ama sonradan ücret ödemediniz ya da hesabınızın yıllık yenilemesini yapmadınız; ichat hesabınız kapanmıyor, yıllar sonra da para bastırsanız kaldığı yerden tüm özellikleriyle hesabınızı kullanmaya devam ediyorsunuz. bu yüzden bir bakıma ichat de ücretsiz sayılabilir. yalnız; sadece mac os’da çalışan bir program olması yaygın kullanımını ve listenize ekleyecek arkadaş bulmanızı engelliyor. bu açıdan apple’ın ichat’i “sucks!” denebilir. gtalk da yaygınlık konusunda msn live messenger’in ayakları altında ezildiğinden fikrimin ince gülünce ichat kadar “sucks!” denebilir. insanlar msn space, windows live messenger, hotmail gibi alternatiflere daha çok rabet ediyorlar. bu “round”’u ne mobile me ne de google labs kazanabiliyor. msn anında mesajlaşma platformunun büyük kısmını işgal ederek ipi göğüslüyor.

bölüm 5

adres defteri: mac os’daki addressbook programı gmail ya da gtalk’un iletişim listesinden daha kullanışlı, sade ve gelişmiş bir yazılım olmasına rağmen .mac’i ilk kullanmaya başladığım günden beri bir kişiyi bile kaydetmediğim bir yazılım. bunun nedeni; online olarak iletişim listeme ulaşamayacak ve başka herhangi bir program ya da cihazla (cep telefonu, pda vb.) bu listeyi senkronize edemeyecek olmamdı. şimdi apple mobile me ile bu yazılımı web 2.0 uygulamasına yaraşır bir formatta adam etmeyi akıl etti. bu adam ediş çabasında iphone’un da payı büyük. adres defteri gsm şebekesi ile web 2.0 arasındaki köprüyü oluşturuyor. eğer iphone gibi adres defteri uygulamasını kullanmayı “gerektirecek” bir platform olmasaydı adres defterinin internetten yönetilebiliyor olması zorunluluğu doğmayacaktı. google cephesine gelince adres defterinin gmail ve gtalk içine gömülmesi ve bir masaüstü uygulamasıyla entegrasyonunun olmayışı açıkçası beni tatmin etmiyor. mobile me’nin ne kadar kullanışlı olacağını zaman gösterecek.

ps: şöyle bir araştırdım ve google'ın paylaşılabilir adres defteri hizmeti vereceğini öğrendim. muhtemelen bir masaüstü uygulaması da olacak gibi görünüyor. (bkz: http://blogs.zdnet.com/google/?p=629)

bölüm 6

sık kullanılanlar: sık kullanılanların sınıflandırılması, yedeklenmesi .mac üzerinden safari ile yapılabiliyor. mobileme sitesinde epey bir araştırma yapmama rağmen online olarak sık kullanılanların yönetilmesi (ulaşım, düzenleme vb.) konusunda apple bilgi vermemiş. sadece safari üzerinden pc ve mac’lerde sık kullanılanların senkronize edilebileceğinden bahsedilmiş. google bookmarks mobileme’nin bu konudaki alternatifi. google toolbar ile beraber mükemmel bir ikili olabiliyorlar. bu sayede cross platform çeşitli tarayıcılarda google bookmarks’a erişebiliyorsunuz ve online olarak bağlantılarınızı yönetebiliyorsunuz. bu açılardan mobileme’ye fark atmasına rağmen safari kullanma alışkanlığım olması mobilemenin bu özelliğine göz kırpmamı sağlayabilirdi fakat firefox sağolsun foxmarks bu konuda imdadıma yetişti diyebilirim. foxmarks bir firefox eklentisi. foxmarks.com sitesinden ücretsiz edinebileceğiniz bir hesapla hem google hem de apple’ın verdiği hizmetten daha iyisini ücretsiz alabiliyorsunuz. foxmarks birden çok bilgisayarı destekliyor, kullanımı kolay, ücretsiz. ayrıca doğrudan istediğiniz tarayıcıyla bağlantılara ulaşabiliyorsunuz. google bookmarks hakkında bir şey eklemek isterim; google bağlantılara etiket eklemenizi sağlayarak daha derli toplu bir arşivi amaçlıyor ama benim gibi etiketleme özürlü obsesif kişiler için bu özellik her tarafın etiketlerle dolu olduğu darmadağın bir arşivle sonuçlanabilir. etiketleme ne mobile me'de ne de foxmarks'da var. bence olmasına da gerek yok.

bölüm 7

internet sitesi ve internet galerileri: apple ezelden beri .mac hesabı için reklamsız websitesi hostingi veriyordu. fakat bu hosting statik sayfalar için geçerliydi. yani server taraflı içerik oluşturulamıyordu. bence apple’ın en büyük ayıplarından biri dinamik web teknolojilerinin yükseldiği şu dönemde ağ üzerinde sebil ücretsiz php, asp vb. host siteleri varken, kullanıcılarını katı ve hantal html tenkonolojisine mahkum etmesi. bu mahkus kaderi ilife 2008 paketiyle beraber piyasaya sürdüğü iweb ile de telafi etmeye çalıştı ama nafile. web sitesi yapmayı; hiçbirşey bilmeyen kullanıcılar için kolaylaştırmaya çalışıyım derken bence eline yüzüne bulaştırdı. kullanıcı bilgisayarı taraflı tasarımı inat edip server taraflıya çeviremedi. iweb’in şablonları apple’ın zihinleri açan, adeta ilham perilerini davet eden düsturdaki çizgisine yakışmayan değişmezlik ve yavanlıkta. mobilme de çok parlak bir gelecek vaad etmiyor. yine php yok, yine veritabanı yok ortada. host açısından yüz güldüren tek şey: flickr kalitesine ve mantalitesine yaklaşan galeri hizmeti. 20 gb alan verilmesi, fantastik ara yüzlerde galerilerin bir tıkla hazırlanması bir an kendisi de ücretli olan flickr’ı terk etmek konusunda düşündürse de galerilere kimlerin erişim sağlayacağı konusunda kararların çok esnek olmaması bir yıl daha flickr hesabımızı uzattırmamıza sebep oluyor. google’a gelince gönüllerin robin hood vari şirketi google picasa hizmetiyle ücretsiz fotoğraf hostunda hatrısayılır bir yer ediniyor. ben kısa süre kulllanmama rağmen ücretsiz bir hizmetten beklediğim herşeyi karşıladığını düşünüyorum.google'ın web sitesi hostu konusunda apple'ı ezim ezim ezdiği gerçeğini yadsıyamayız, picasa ile image hosting, blogger ile blog hosting, google page creator ile de bağımsız web sayfaları hazırlanması konusunda, google docs ile ofis dökümanlarının saklanması, yayınlanması ve online olarak düzenlenmesi konusunda, dahası google reader ile online rss saklanmasını sağlamasıyla apple'ın kafaya balyoz gibi iniyor google.hem de ücretsiz bir balyoz. tek eksiği apple'ın idisk'ine benzer online dosya paylaşımı ve backup hizmeti vermemesi. onun da yakında olacağına dair haberler var. kaldı ki biraz uğraşarak google drive ile gmail'i bu iş için kullanabiliyorsunuz.

google'dan bunca beleş balyozu uzun süredir yemesine rağmen nasıl oluyor da titreyip kendine gelmiyor şaşırtıcı bir durum.

.macle ilgili olarak merak ettiğim konulari özetleyecek olursam;

(1) neden php, mysql host vermiyor?,

(2) neden wordpress, drupal vb. bir dinamik içerik yönetimi özelliğini işletim sistemine entegre etmiyor da iweb denen abuk programı kullanmakta ısrar ediyor? bana paşa paşa versin php hostumu, mysql veritabanımı ben adam gibi wordpress'imi kurayım. neden sadece sıradan kullanıcıyı düşünüyor apple?

(3) idisk uygulamasını neden bu kadar hantal ve kullanışsız yapıyor (zira idiskle dinamik, etkileşimli online dosya senkronizasyonu yapmak imkansız, 10 kb dosyayı 15 dakikada upload edebilirseniz şanslı sayılırsınız)

(4) neden online ofis hizmeti vermiyor? (ki elinde addressbook, ical gibi nefis uygulamalar mevcut bunlar bir online word processor ile birleşince ormanda 10 google docs gücünde olabilirler ve harikalar yaratabilirler.)

neyse yazının sonuna doğru sinirlerim tepeme fırladı kusura bakmayın. umarım mobileme ne işe yarıyor biraz olsun anlatabilmişimdir. bu öninceleme 1 temmuz 2008'den sonra inceleme halinde tekrar klavyeye yatırılacaktır.

saygıyla

Yesterday I got my MacBook the most amazing computer in the world I still am trying to get the hang of it at the moment, but I really like it so far!

I'm currently obsessed with screen captures that I don't have to edit out what I don't want, and iChat and stuff.

試試看～

I Didn't Take Part In This Conversation

I'm pretty sure Alyssa and I are the meanest people alive. But seriously folks, friends, people of all physical abilities, fellow coffee drinkers, slurping is rude.

Mr. Handicapped-guy-who-was-slurping-his-drink: if you're reading this, we're sorry we're so mean, she wasn't really going to slap you.

Mac OS X security hole exploited

wonderingpondering — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:58:16 +0000

The security hole in Mac OS X's Apple Remote Desktop Application (ARDA) has been exploited by a Trojan that attacks iChat. The story is contained in this article by Computerworld. The Trojan's name is AppleScript.THT, and the Mac anti-virus company SecureMac is on top of the problem.

VIA ICHAT:

me: What time is it where you are?
lauren: I have to go to lunch now. It's noon.
me: wow!
lauren: Can we talk later?
me: yes ma'am - I'm about to go to bed 'cause it's 11 pm!
I want to talk with you about your life right now.
lauren: it's tomorrow, i guess you could say. don't worry, today's a good day.

Somehow, profoundly reassuring words from my dear friend, Lauren Braun, who is in the Philippines right now. The Body of Christ at work.

iChat For iPhone Still Alive?

Cody — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:08:34 +0000

So some people are still thinking that the iPhone will get a iChat app on the App Store in early july with its realese. Well that would be cool, but i really dont see it coming to the iPhone, it COULD very well happen but i just dont see how it would work, theres no fron camera either, well that we know of. But still even if there was a front camera you would have to hold it up so the person video chatting would see you AND what happens when you hit a service area that isnt so good? Does it close the program? Or just lag really bad? Either way bring on the iChat for the iPhone!!

wanted iPhone apps

Tanya Book — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:37:30 +0000

The main thing I am looking forward to on 11 July isn't the 3G iPhone. Although the speed would be nice. What I want are the apps. And that's coming to all the iPhones. Even to those of us who waited in line opening day for the first ones. So I had to come up with a list of apps that I want for my iPhone.

1. Evernote http://www.evernote.com
Notetaking service. Although you can photograph written text and search that too. It already has a desktop client for both Mac & Windows as well as a web interface. They already have an iPhone interface for viewing so that leads me to think an app could be an actuality. The desktop clients can be opened while you are offline and will resync when you go back online. This would be handy when you're out of service on the iPhone.

2. iChat App
I know that AIM has been developed, but I'd like to see a multiservice like iChat or Adium for the iPhone.

3. Bento
I would love to add or modify items in my database while on the go. It may be the least likely to be available, but I would still like to have it.
