thought i'd pop up my parallels folder menu to show you a useful way of organising and running your vm's. The track playing is the latest Unkle single which is absolutely banging!

EDIT: changed to thumbnail to avoid destroying the forums...

how did you get your parallels folder menu like that? thanks.

[chris e boy]

how did you get your parallels folder menu like that? thanks.

I created aliases to my virtual machines, copied them to a folder and then dragged the folder to my dock. Easy!

[Fahrenheit]

(And then gave the folder the Parallels icon) :)

[nokiauk]

ok thanks v much, now done this

[chris e boy]

(And then gave the folder the Parallels icon) :)

uh... yeah.

I find it a great way to manage my multiple virtual machines in the office. Just right click the icon and choose the machine you want to load. Only problem is that when you create a new virtual machine you have to manually create an alias and add it to this folder.

Norton is bad news, Period! They buy small useful utilities, and bloat them out with a load of crap. (Ghost being a good example)
:D


But basically, your Macs Hard Drive (HFS+) defragments itself and your Mac won't get viruses. So the question should be What is good/needed about norton?

[Jasoco]

I haven't used virus software in... 7 years. Not since switching. Even when I had OS 9. The only Mac vidus I ever met was a benign harmless variant of SevenDust which was in OS 8.6 on a Duo 2300c I bought off eBay. A free virus killer for OS 8.6 killed it.

I wouldn't want Norton crap taking up my resources doing things I don't actually need done.

Thought I'd be the first to post a Leopard desktop in here:

(click to embiggen)

http://www.cmpdesigns.com/extImg/desktopOct07th.jpg (http://www.cmpdesigns.com/extImg/desktopOct07.jpg)

Leopard converted my previous Virtual Machines alias folder into a stack. Its even better now. It's irritating that both last.fm and Quicksilver refuse to hide their dock icon in Leopard though.

[Fahrenheit]

Mmm, looks even better in the wild. :)

[Jasoco]

My Last.fm hides its icon with no problem. You have an older version. (Also, there are two different apps. Last.fm and iScrobbler. I am using iScrobbler. It's icon is an apple shaped AS logo.)

[turbulentfurball]

It's irritating that both last.fm and Quicksilver refuse to hide their dock icon in Leopard though.

iScrobbler FTW! I prefer it to the official Last.fm client. Have you joined the AN group on Last.fm?

[PKIDelirium]

I use iScrobbler. Menu bar icon FTW!

[lightning_bug]

While we're on the subject, what functionality does iScrobbler offer that Synergy doesn't with its last.fm AudioScrobbler capabilities? Once Synergy added that in, I dropped the last.fm client as fast I could and I've happily logged my listening tendencies for the internet proper ever since. :D

I'll make sure to do that! And i'll give this iScrobbler thingy a shot too. Oh yeh, as an update to my previous post, there is a new Quicksilver version (b52) that hides the dock icon. Unfortunately the Blacktree site is down, but there is a mirror here (http://www.mac.majorgeeks.com/download4682.html)

I think it may be a good idea to have some sort of sticky or topic on outside AN groups and such. That filding@home thing, Applenova Chat, and frappr map should go in there too. It would make it easier if we consolidate all these things.

Nice all around theme. The piano dock looks nice with your music notes wallpaper.

[sirnick4]

Very nice doublem. Where did you get that dock skin?

[doublem9876]

Leoparddocks.com, my dude. I modified it, though, and put in my own separator - the piano pedal. I thought that the human finger that originally came with it was a little bit creepy.

[Jasoco]

I don't even use a separator. I blanked mine out. It just looks dumb no mayer what since the perspective is always wrong. My Dock is mirrored black with no separator. Looks much nicer than the white dotted line.

[Fahrenheit]

Very nice doublem, although I would probably have the piano keys at the other side of the wallpaper, if I could. :)

[doublem9876]

You know what? I like that. I'm putting the keys on the other side. A little photoshop cutting shouldn't do any harm.

I use spotlight quite a bit to access most of my programs. I prefer to have less on the dock, rather than more.

There's a terminal command that I can't seem to find right now that moves the dock over.

EDIT:

defaults write com.apple.Dock pinning -string end
killall Dock

[evan]

and does that switch it to the different look as well? or is that a different command?

The only apps I keep in my Dock are the ones that I expect to always have running...I used to have a folder full of aliases in the dock to quicklaunch apps, but Command-Spacebar is so much faster.

[evan]

well I've just drastically changed my dock. thanks guys :)

[Koodari]

I used to hide the dock while traveling to gain space on my laptop screen, but a while ago I hid it on my main screen and turns out I use it even less than I thought I did. I might just keep it hidden. Quicksilver, Spotlight etc. rock.

It seems odd to me that you have so little in your dock, but you have system preferences there, of all things. I never keep that in the dock on my personal machine, and I have a lot more stuff in there than you do.

I do keep Spaces and Dashboard in mine just because they're closer to raw interface elements rather than app icons.

I'm more a consumer of images though. This one is borrowed from an effects test posting for Beyond the Red Line. I've always been partial to space scenes and the vast dark areas are great for keeping tidbits until I'm done with them.

New images from Saturn are available...

OMG that is so weird. That's been my wallpaper for the last few months. Small world. :D

I like browsing the Astronomy Picture of the Day too - that was the pic for my sister's birthday or something. It's also on the cover of my Astronomy text.

I don't know if you know this, but the little tiny dot on the left side of Saturn, just above the tips of the rings, is Earth.

Small world is right! :eek:

Seriously, it's easy. Open your screenshot in Preview. Zoom out. Take a new screen shot using Cmd + Shift + 4 (it gives you the chance to take a picture of part of the screen). Post that image instead of the full-size one.

What doest that CS screensaver actually do ? Is it just a slideshow of the jpg included in the .slidesaver ? Still can't install it :\ It opens the general preference pane.... yeah... thx

It just pans and zooms through about 10-12 differently colored designs that play off the CS3 packaging (just colorful, abstract swirly stuff). It does the slow zoom/pan, then dissolves to another, just like all the stock OS X savers.

I just extracted a few out ("Show package contents" or whatever) and threw the image files in my desktop pictures folder so I could use a few as static desktops.

I don't know why you're unable to get it to play. You downloaded the screensaver directly from Apple's site, right? (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/csscreensaver.html) That's all I did. Decompressed it, double-clicked, was asked if I wanted it installed, clicked "OK" and that was it. Been using it for about two weeks now.
