I have no idea how long the medium is going to last, but soon DVD and Blu-Ray will go bye bye like the wind.

If you own an iPhone, you can use it to track your location during a photoshoot and to do the geotagging afterwards.
“There’s an app for that.”

From link above it looks like that Skymacmate is not working on Intelmac or G5mac. (- also Von-phone no longer display the USB adapter as mac compatible).
However, comment 466 from Harry Miles suggest different. Any other experiences on this matter?

[...] If you have a Mac, and have Leopard, you can use Time Machine(Apple’s free backup utility), but SuperDuper does offer more features, and their support is fantastic. Here is an article on why you may want to use both. [...]

You certainly can still dial with the Skype program while using this adapter, so I guess at a minimum you could use Skype to start a conference call.

I don’t know how a conference call is set up in Skype, so I have no way to know if this adapter would affect it.

Hi,

I can’t seem to find the answer to this question anywhere, so I’m hoping someone here can help before I part with cash. How does the adaptor go with skype conference calls? I’d want to buy it really to use a couple of times a week for a study session with 3 other people. I’m assuming someone else hosting can dial you into a conference, but can you host one (it’s probably too basic a question). How do you dial a set of conference numbers from your phone (or would you have to do it from the computer)?

Thanks

Hi Harry,

Maybe the vTech phone is eating the * key instead of sending the DTMF tone it should be. It certainly seems odd. Thanks for posting your experience.

Tried using a phone hard wired to the Skype adapter with SkyMacMate running on an IntelMac Mini with Leopard. Worked flawlessly. It appears that there is something about the vTech wireless phone system that is not compatible with the Skype adapter.

Any ideas?

Harry

Steve,

I just installed the Skype adapter and SkyMacMate on an IntelMac with Leopard.

Incoming landline calls through the adapter work great including caller ID (see question above).

The problem is that using my vtech wireless phone, when I input the * to switch to Skype the USB light comes on briefly (500 ms), goes out and there is no transfer. Skype is activated for about the same period.

Is there a problem with the vtech phones and this adapter?

I will try to borrow a hardwired phone from a neighbor to check if the rest of the configuration is working. I’ll post the results.

Harry

Comment on Best Keyboard Ever! by class1dave

class1dave — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 15:11:36 +0000

back in the Tandy Colour Computer days… we called these kinds of keyboards… chicklet keys because the square keys are the size of chicklets!
Not impressed with the feel of these kinds of keyboards. Much prefer the typewriter type keys with a bit more travel. The older wireless apple keyboards (white) are much better even though they do not have as many preprogrammed keys as these newer keyboards have.

Comment on JPEG Consolidator, Gather All Your JPEGs to One Place by Steve Rider

Your comment correctly describes the way the programs operate. Did you notice that this fact was documented in the readme file?

Comment on JPEG Consolidator, Gather All Your JPEGs to One Place by Barry

Barry — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 02:14:20 +0000

I strongly recommend against using either of the JPEG Consolidator Automator Actions. These actions do not correctly handle files that have duplicate file names.

For example, make a Test Folder that contains 3 subfolders, named A, B, and C. In each subfolder, place 3 jpeg files, named 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg, and 3.jpeg. Run either action on the Test Folder. The result should be a result folder that contains 9 jpeg files. Instead these actions will produce a result folder that contains only 3 jpeg files.
