Mac Environment
Hey folks,
Today I was with a bit of free time, so that I decided to customize my mac.
Yesterday I started using Adium 
Now I can mix all my IM contacts in one contact list and in one unique window everytime I chat with two or more contacts. This is nice, because with 13″ space is a real problem to deal with 
So I went to Adium Xtras site, and from there I’m just using the dock icon (pink Adium logo), and the status icons (hearts).
After doing this I thought it was so pink and so cute I decided to make some kind of theme 
First I changed the background to a Sakura tree (it’s hard to find a good wallpaper and i’m not sure about this one).
Second resolution was for the first time changing the folder icons (and from some applications too).
If you want to change a folder icon just open the Get Info from the folder you want to change and drag and drop the one you want in the icon you are using now (upper left corner). You can see the tip from Apple site.
The folders I’m using now are from Icon Factory They have some pink and “sakura” too, which matches perfectly with this theme.
And now what else? The Dock icons! Hell yeah… I never changed this icons :O I like the Macosx ones, they are very nice and I’ve been dealing with them everyday…
But at Pixel Girl I found a really nice, cute, flowery ones
At the end of the day, the result was…
PocketMac RingtoneStudio
People always ask me where I get the ringtones for the iPhone.
And when I say it’s a really easy application I use, they think I’m lying! Well, let me reveal you my secret 
The application is just a big iPhone, and all you have to do is drag and drop because I’m very lazy I always love this kind of method!
You can open iTunes and drag the song you want to convert as a ringtone or you can do File > Open
So, here it is the song I chose to set as my new ringtone! She Wolf - the new Shakira single, already available on the iTunes store. Maybe because there’s a part on the song lyrics telling “There’s a she wolf in the closet, / Let it out so it can breath” and you listen breathing Actually is very fun, looks like my iPhone yells “Auuuuuuu” and breaths!
Returning to the app, you now may chose 30 secs to your ringtone, that will be looping!
After all this steps and I’m sure choosing a song is the harder one :O , it says Successful bla bla, then opens iTunes and tchaaaram! Your new ringtone is available to sync to your iPhone.
However, this is not a free app! You can try a demo (and I don’t know what are the conditions of the final result), but this one I have is full licensed for me
Hope you have fun creating new tunes and be careful not hurting the hears from people around you LOL
Auuuu
New Fashion Accessory
Check my new earring
Did anyone said imagination as limits? I don’t think so eheh
Smells like… Apple products!
I don’t know if you ever notice BUT, Apple products have such a particular smell when they are new… I love smell new books, food, well it’s a thing I have: I must smell everything.
And the stuff I like most are the ones that I keep smelling… *humf* *humf*
Well, today I received the WD Passport (250gb) and the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD (I have the Leopard DVD’s too). This was all Arnan’s fault! * (kiss sweet you rock :O eheh )
So here it is what I just got today! Fasten your seat belts!
Oh well, now you are thinking “another ipod… what’s the big deal?” the fact is opening this shuffle was a new sensation! The instructions book is actually a card! How cute is this?
And of course the cable is different! It comes with a real dock with Apple logo at the bottom and rubber /me loved it
Last but not least, the WD passport to make the backup and for the first time I used “time machine” :O waw… I thought I would never be able to backup nothing! But, it was just connecting the cable and let the thing flow. It was 64gb of data to transfer (or to lost :O )
It’s so quiet… 
Tinker the bells *plimmmm* Snowy! (aka snow Leopard)
At this time I haven’t upgrade. However, I expect that works as it explains on the enclosed book “Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the most elegant, powerful, and easy-to-use operating system ever designed for a personal computer. In big ways and small ways, Snow Leopard makes your Mac faster, more reliable, and easier to use.”
Amen Steve!
iTunes 9 and new iPhone firmware
Present to you the new iTunes 9! Oh yeah
I can say about this new update? Organization! Absolutely.
Now we can find the songs we bought, and this was a common thing that gets on my nerves - when I download a song from iTunes store I never find without search. Now, the problem is solved!
Today Apple also launched new iPhone firmware. I never, but NEVER organized my apps, they are always lots, and I don’t see myself always organizing the apps on the iPhone. But now, we can organize directly from iTunes! Which is quite nice.
Talking about new features we have Home Sharing on iTunes 9! Actually isn’t useful for me, because I just have one miserable alone and pale macbook But in the future of course I will have more and more to share all the songs and all libraries on the block! eheh
Genius is improved with Genius mixer!
So, let the show take place on your mac and iphone… hum… thanks Steve Welcome back!
My iPhone 3G White (16gb)
Dear readers,
For a long time I didn’t write to you. Something have changed on my macnology… ! Now, I proudly present to you my iPhone!
So, my new baby is very quiet, and doesn’t need any special care! I just don’t use the nice all in one, anti-shock, and special color, bla bla case! I use one that MacRepair sent me because I asked for… Macrepair.nl
It’s very useful and easy to use! And really protects your iPhone, I already drop it like 2 or 3 times, and it’s impec!
/me loves iPhone
Change Finder Background
Today I sent a print screen and someone asked me “hey your background is so cute! how did you do that?” Here is the answer…
First open a Finder window, you can do this in all your background folders too.
I have different backgrounds in some! For me, is nice because I choose a color label and the background inside the folder matching! Is so colorful
Ok, in the folder you want to change right click inside and “Show View Options”.
In there, you see “background” options!
You can paint with a color, or select a picture (the one i’m using on the screen shot).
There’s also another options in this menu! Actually, you can control de icons size, the space between them, or even show more info about the stuff you have on that folder.
Finally, it’s easy to browse a nice picture to colorize your boring folders
Posterino
Arnan bought a bunch of Mac apps in that promotions like 50% off in the whole package of some applications!
Because he didn’t want some of them, he gave me two!
One of those, is Posterino! What can I say about Posterino? Amazing! I stay focused on this like a child with his sweets!
So, I will make here a small explanation what Posterino is about!
You can make those posters with millions of photos to give to some special one Or just to print it and stick on the wall of your bedroom to remind those nice days and those nice people that make part of your life;
It has letters, postcards, posters and all in every relevant size I know
It’s all about drag & drop your photos, and you can add a little stamp with the photo you want too!
I’m talking about photos because, I guess it’s what people most use! But remember you can use cute pics to give a special touch to your project!
You can also create text boxes, rotate every single image and every single text, edit with your favorite font, etc!
Aha! A sweet detail! You can create your own stamp! Yes that’s it, you can say it’s Santa’s letters without people knowing it’s you mmmm… or the Valentine angel saying to her/him you are the perfect match! Imagination has no limit!
Now is the funniest part! You can send the object you create by mail and save money and time, OR in another hand, you can send it by swiss post (international!) it’s about 2.99 eur or something like that, but doesn’t go with the stamp you created in Preferences menu!
But 
yes there’s always a “but” The Swiss Post is discontinuing it’s postcard service for small businesses. Therefore the “real postcard” interface implemented in Posterino will stop working on July 1st, 2009! yes…
If you want to use this little feature you must run Posterino
