that's a nice looking pitcher plant. where'd you get the photo?
I bought it from OSH a month ago. I've never seen a pitcherplant and there they were, right on the shelf. Just had to get one. I usually have horrible luck when it comes to tropical plants, but this one is thriving.

Nope, not a Konfabulator widget. It's Aquamon (http://nibs.arsware.org/AquaMon/) with this hint (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20010701191518268&query=hide+dock+icon) to make it dockless. (Scroll down to read the comment that allows it to work in Panther.)

Definitely.
Back when I was running dual displays (two old 14" CRTs, but yeah...) I double-screened the Mars panorama from Pathfinder. They're 1024x768, but still pretty cool if you've got dual displays. I had to put in my own gradient as the sky because the NASA shot didn't go up high enough, but you can't really tell.

pymol is a really awesome molecule viewer for looking at protein structures, modeling, and making what some would consider the best pictures of molecules out there...

its based on python and can take scripts...

FYI, you don't need to fire up Grab.app to take snapshots of your screen. Mac OS X has several shortcuts:

apple-shift-3: capture screen to file
apple-shift-4: capture selection to file
apple-shift-4 then spacebar: capture window to file

Adding the control key to any of the above saves the image to the clipboard instead of a file.

Luca

2004-07-25, 15:30

For a while I used Grab anyway because command-shift-3 would add this weird gray artifact to the bottom of the image. They fixed that in 10.3.4.

Grab also has the option to output in different formats other than PDF, right? Although it generally takes just as long to open Grab and take a JPG as it does to do the short keystroke to take a picture, then export to JPG.

Oh, absolutely -- with all the moving around, it's really nice to drop your whole computer setup into a messenger bag or backpack (plus printer, if you don't print at the computer labs or Kinko's like I did). It won't take up half of a car's trunk, either.

Okay - I have to admit, I have a series of commercial screens that I rotate to suit my mood right now (easy to do on the fly, thanks to Konfabulator) :D

Yes, but you have the worlds most annoying dock style. Tiny icons with 100% magnification. Makes me want to puke...and I mean that in the nicest way :)

I must say, that is quite an impressive collection of apps. However, I think I would die if my dock were that crowded. Doesn't it annoy you to have it like that? For me, I only put the apps that I use regularly in my dock. Otherwise I just make a trip to the apps folder.

I've got 19, but they are small with no magnification. They are the 19 that I'm using all the time. Having every app in there that I own...no thanks.

Yes, but you have the worlds most annoying dock style. Tiny icons with 100% magnification. Makes me want to puke...and I mean that in the nicest way :)Oh well - different streaks for different freaks, eh? ;)

Everyone has their own dock prefs (which is why it's an editable feature, right?) - and it's more like about 65% magnification - otherwise I couldn't tell exactly which app I'm selecting! Oh - and if you cram a ton of apps into the dock - it forces them to be all on one line - which makes them that tiny. ;) Besides, I have mine set as a pop-up - not permanent. I'm looking forward to the day when we can have 2-3 docks, or stackable docks, or piles or anything else we've been taunted with over the years and can't have yet!

I like having all the apps I use regularly right at hand and not have to fish around in a folder for them - ack! :err: Besides, I use them all - all the time and there is a method to my madness in organizing them along the dock in small groups (another nice thing to have would be movable divider bars along the dock, wouldn't it?). I just do a lot of different kinds of work - imaging, multimedia, sound, video, VR, painting, writing, animation, etc... not just one or two apps will even come close to meeting my needs! ;)

You could set up folders with aliases to the applications, and put those folders in the dock.

You could have aliases to all your animations apps in a folder called "Animation". Put the folder in the dock, and then right-click, or ctrl-click, on the folder when you need one of the applications. It gives you a nice little menu of everything in the folder.

nice image DrGruv - I notice finale and sibelius - what's your preference? Also, going to ditch the Konfab stuff once Tiger hits the streets?

DrGruv

2004-10-24, 00:38

Konfab. yes - probably will ditch kon. unless there are things that kon can do that tiger can't - I use lyricscraper kon widget A LOT, it goes out on the net and finds the lyrics to any song playing on itunes and can store them in a folder for later use (great for song writers!)

As far as the great music notation program debate, each have many things going for them... I have been a longtime user of Finale, but I don't use it on a regular basis. (every few months or less) I forget the submenus or where to find a particular function and it gets very frustrating.

Sibelius is very simple, easy and straight forward. I am able to produce small trumpet parts or pieces quickly. Yet most of my files are from the older versions of Finale (All my trumpet books etc..)

Finale saw the writing on the wall (too complicated and hard to use) and took some of the great ideas from Sibelius and put it in Finale. I did the first update on Finale to first OSX version, but didn't do the latest update. I will probably get it the next time around - maybe not though - for editing my files the current osx version of finale is fine.

Stupid little thing... for those users that have been using the program for years, I prefer the Finale font and can't get used to the Sibelius font. The differences are SLIGHT, but they are there - I'm so used to the Finale font - hard to change...

I do that all the time. It's easier. A lot of files I download don't have a real home for a while. So I chuck it all in an "Off the Desktop" folder for later. I have almost a gig of stuff with no home, even after going through and sorting things into their rightful places.

I suspect Tiger's "Smart Folders" and Spotlight will help tremendously. I can't wait.

I have 577 emails because I have 4 email addresses and am waiting for smart mail folders in tiger to sort my mail for me... I also have a bunch of other general folders that need to be sorted as well... ('04 election stuff, .edu stuff by club & semester, .mac stuff, shopping stuff... etc.) So I'd rather take the time to do it all at once. Most of it is automated email that I get for news (OCD ;) ) purposes, so its not like people are wondering if I fell into a black hole.

Thanks... my desktop looks noting like that these days... but that was a pic of a modded Gnome desktop on top of Gentoo Linux. Now I am using WindowMaker on top of Slackware Linux -- However I might be going back to Gentoo and Gnome soon.

In any case, lets take a peek at your desktop.

OK, one simple clarification. What is 1337? I think I got most of the other "words" but that one seems to have multiple meanings. That or my eyes are still squirting blood onto the screen. (Now where's the smiliy for that!) :devil:

I was actually going to comment on that.

It's an old Audion skin. I remember using it back in 2001.

Unfortunately, despite being free, Audion isn't good for much these days since it won't play AAC/MP4 files.

Ebby

2004-12-14, 22:04

:lol: Yea, It's Audion. I never heard of it before they released it for free. I tend to like it because its small and looks nice. It also uses less processor power than iTunes, but I don't care much on my G5. I don't have much music in AAC/MP4 so it still works and it can use playlists from an iPod. It also works great with net radio. I have nothing against iTunes, but having this as a startup item is better than opening a full window in iTunes.

I have three displays now!

My main display, hooked up to my Powerbook:
http://homepage.mac.com/ryantann/d-lcdscreen.jpg

My Powerbook's built-in display. Sometimes I run NetNewsWire on it, but I gave up on that. Maybe once Tiger comes in I can put it to use with Dashboard.
http://homepage.mac.com/ryantann/d-pbscreen.jpg

My Cube's display. I don't use it for much, but it houses my photo and music libraries, and most of my files, as it has a large hard drive, and my Powerbook only has 40 gigs. Its black simply because I was getting tired of a bunch of colors popping into the corner of my eye every time I went to a new song running off my Powerbook.

Probably the last one I take of the iBook for a while. What with the Mac mini and everything. If all goes well (Read if the Computer Forum receives them in time.) I should hopefully have a Mini and 20" display on my desk by Saturday.

What is that you have bottom right, to control iTunes?

Jasoco

2005-02-01, 01:13

What is that you have bottom right, to control iTunes?A set of custom scripts written in AppleScript in a DragThing Dock with a set of Hot Keys to control iTunes as well. It's like a Konfabulator Widget, but without Konfabulator and all that memory overhead. (This is a 600MHz G3 iBook. I need as much free memory as possible. And since DT is running anyway, why not utilize it?) The iTunes icon actually hides or shows iTunes depending on if it's shown or not.

It's a start. Haven't actually gotten all settled in yet. This is basically what my DT looked like before with settings imported and all customized versions of my favorite Desktop Pictures.

My first Mac mini fully custom shot. (http://jasoco.no-ip.com/data/ss/full/2005-02-06.jpg)

The HD icons are from the Matrix Rebooted icon set. The chair is the main HD, the MiniDiscs are my Backup and the two Jujitsu cards are my "Filing Cabinet". The bottom one is made by me. That's the iBook's HD. The iBook has been demoted to "Lounge Browser".

The Trash icon is also from Matrix Rebooted. I just liked how much more like a trash can it actually looks.

The Dock on the left as usual is hidden by click of mouse button 5. I'm going for colorful this time. I'll have to figure out some other place to put Natalie. http://www.dragthing.com

I forget where the desktop is from. It's customized as are all my currently rotating images to fit my screen.

The Theme is SoftProPlasticWashed.
