Dictionary

I always loved Dictionary! Because always I have a doubt or something I want to know more about, I just type in spotlight (you can disable Dictionary from appearing in spotlight) the term I want, and instantly answers.
So, I was looking for “plum”, and I never realised I can see in wikipedia the nutrition facts about food! So, if you want to know if it’s good to digest at night, if has more vitamins and less energy; before getting in your stomach type it!!! It’s a nice advice coming from Dictionary… and you don’t need internet to do this, just a mac

Another reason why tomorrow I want to see whats going on in the keynote! To be jealous about people that are just waiting for this, to buy the new MacBook! @#@$%$^#&$^*
Oh eat plums, have lots of vitamins fresh fruit is healthy anyways.

Smultron

I always loved strawberrys, but for me they were just tasty “morangos”.
But now, and yesterday my true friend and superhero Arnan, showed me “SMULTRON” wow!!
LOL The name means strawberry, which sounds at first delicious, and when you open the app in fact it is!

Easy to use, free, good looking, and for nooooobyssss like I am is perfect!
I really discovered PHP with this little app, and MAMP (server).
They are perfect and actually I found a new thing to learn, and I enjoy it
Yesterday I said welcome to php…!

PS. I just made copy paste of a script
$shelikes = true;

Digital Color Meter

I like!
Digital Color Meter is one of the best utilities of Mac OS X! Well, for me at least is very useful.
With this you can see the colors of everything that is on the screen. You just go around with the cursor and says the color values!
You can see as percentage, value, bla, bla… and you can even select the aperture size of the selection!

I found on spotlight i just tapped “color” and a new world showed up!

Inquisitor

Inquisitor for Safari, all I have to say I-Can’t-Leave-Without!
In four words is that!

It’s free, easy, quick, and the most important thing: works perfectly whatever I need to search!
It’s the spotlight from the internet, I use like since I have a Mac, and when I formated the disk I realized how much that helps on Safari!

Download here Inquisitor.

Firebug

I discovered Firebug some days ago.
And I’m still exploring it! It’s very useful to me that don’t understand a thing about websites, HTML, CSS…
But Firebug has a thing that I love: you can chose a size to the letters!
No more small and “phone books size letter”. I think it does something that the Develop menu in Safari does, but I use a lot Firefox.

I’m happy with it.

Line in…

My great Line in idea, made me laugh alone in my car:
I was happy listen my new songs on the Creative and I started to listen “plui plui” and “vlum”…
You know? It was the sounds of the MacBook other applications: iChat and Mail!!

mmmm…

Creative Zen V Plus

This is my Creative Zen V Plus. I was sniffing what could I do to fix the problem: MacBook doesn’t recognize it! Not even like removable disk! Just charge and if it’s off.

So, I sailed unknown seas! I found lots of things that this little pink thing does such as record the environment, calendar, tasks, contacts, videos, photos, and the most important thing: LINE IN Recording!
Sounds good I know, and I just needed to find the cable to do this. I connected the cable to the MacBook, and opened iTunes, and start the Line in.

It’s very slow, but fun because you can connect the headphones and listen your songs!
The time it takes is the time it takes to listen the music, you can stop when you want, obviously…
Now, I’ve my 3 or 4 songs I wanted in the Creative. However it wasn’t so zen… it stopped in the middle, because it was “saving” battery!!
That was just the only thorn of this perfect pink moment!

Leopard 10.5.3

Everybody is talking about this new release.
I can make for you a rapid briefing of whats going on:
Stability!
And (amen to this…) Address Book syncs with Gmail. To try this just read the Google FAQ about “Contact Sync”
It’s a nice step by step to know how to do.
And of course, solved some bugs on other apps like Automator and Time Machine.
Enjoy the new version!

The Final Judgement

Remember the post I talked about battery life, and what could be better?
Ok, this morning I had a new e-mail from my dear Arnan, and he pasted a link do Apple Support “Calibrating your computer’s battery for best performance“.
And there you can find the answer to your doubts about battery life, and how calibrate your battery, what to do, etc.
Just be aware that you need to chose the tips for your model.
Hope this could help, as helped me because I think I didn’t calibrate my battery properly… mmmmh…
I rated 5 stars to this Apple Support article.

Eureka

Or should I say “Discover”!

Well, yesterday I finish changing the theme of another blog, and I discovered I can put stuff side by side to the top image!
I resized the image and I reserver some space to nother thing, which I didn’t know what thing.

After hours looking for horrible banners I saw the special one! It’s perfect! And looks perfect! Everytime you expand the window, it goes with the window. I’ts an easy code thing:

<div style="position: absolute top: 0 right: 0">
/* STUFF HERE */
</div>

And after discovered this I thought, well I don’t want people see the links in the status bar of the browser… I didn’t know where to find, but it was easy to find one that works perfectly!
You put this inside head!
