Did You know that it is not necessary to open iTunes, backup and do a complete sync just for iCal or Contacts data? Using the iSync application, the small data can be synced from only the menubar. 

First off, open iSync. This can be found on any Mac in the Applications folder.
This application itself is fairly boring so just go into the iSync menu and then to Preferences.
Enable the Show status in menu bar. You can also change that Data Change Alert if it gets on your nerves. (It is the popup that warns about data change.)
You should now notice a new swirly looking icon in the menu bar that belongs to iSync.

When left clicked, this opens up a new menu with the following. This is mainly used for MobileMe so if you have enabled that, you should be able to sync with MobileMe from here.
Of course, click the Sync Now button and the application will start spinning and your contact and iCal data will sync with your iPhone/iPod Touch.
This is a handy way to get quick data to synchronise without the long process of iTunes. If you notice anything else that gets synced using this method leave a comment below.

One of the new 'no solution to a problem that never existed' issue in Windows 7 is the strange new notification area of the taskbar. The often unused notifications move into a new box that will pop up after pressing the small arrow. However, this leads to (at least for me) inresponsive clicks and an unececary extra step. There is however a way for this to return to the old type with all notifications on one row.

First off, Right click in the task bar and go into Properties.

Then, click into Customize

Once the new window opens up, click the 'Always show all icons and notification on the taskbar' at the bottom.

All the notifications will now show up in the taskbar, this is especially useful with the new 'favicon' main taskbar  icon view where space is plentiful.

Although simple, this is a huge advantage when icons such as uTorrent or Steam hide themselves away for no real reason.

Cada cierto tiempo alguien me solicita que le tutorice su inicio en el mundo del blogging (y también de las páginas web en general, los fotoblogs, Flickr, el mundo Web 2.0, las RSS, etc.), así que a continuación y vista su utilidad publico aquí una compilación de los correos electrónicos referentes a dichas tutorías que he enviado hasta la fecha. Iré actualizando a medida que vaya continuando mis tutorías. ¡Espero que le sean útiles a alguien más allá de mis tutorizados!

My Dashboard en Wordpress

Cuando loginas te aparece una barra azul encima de tu blog con los menús de administrador. La mayoría de cosas que necesitas están en My Dashboard. La otra gran sección, Global dashboard, es por si quieres cambiar cosas de tu perfil o ver las estadÌsticas de visitas, así que My Dashboard es la clave.

Recuerda que en cada página de administración, abajo del todo, tienes los enlaces a la ayuda de Wordpress.

Páginas y categorías

En un blog hay pocas páginas y muchas entradas, la tendencia inversa es de página web. Lo bueno del blog es que la última entrada publicada, excepto si se ha asignado a una página, se verá siempre en portada, con lo que los visitantes ven de un golpe de vista las novedades cómodamente. Las páginas son comodidades adicionales, como el cuarto de la plancha en una casa. Vienen muy bien para gestionar cosas que no tienen dependencia cronológica, que deben estar siempre a mano, o que son algo realmente distinto de la corriente principal. Las categorías ayudan a esto, son un menú inteligente, ya que devuelven todas las entradas que le han sido asignadas por orden cronológico, y sin los problemas de editar y mantener típicos de las páginas.

Categorías y etiquetas

Una categoría es como una carpeta de artículos. Las etiquetas son múltiples: un post puede tener varios, y no se limitan a los nombres de las categorías. Vamos, que las categorías son para clasificar los artículos/entradas y las etiquetas son las palabras clave para cada uno. Las categorías te aparecerán tanto en el post como en la columna de la derecha, y las etiquetas en principio en los artículos/entradas (aunque se puede editar el estilo del blog para que en la columna también aparezcan las etiquetas.

Las etiquetas se crean al hacer los artículos/entradas, en un campo de texto debajo del editor del artículo En el editor del post fíjate en la columna de la derecha, en Categorías, ahí puedes crear nuevas rápidamente y decirle al post cuáles serán las suyas marcándolas.

Borradores en Wordpress

Puedes escribir un artículo y guardarlo como un borrador, por lo que no se publicará hasta que tú lo decidas pero podrás volver a él para continuarlo. Para estos artículos/entradas ve a My Dashboard - Administrar - Entradas. Verás una tabla con lo que has escrito y en la columna Cuándo te aparece si están publicados o no. En las columnas de la derecha tienes los enlaces para seguir editándolos o borrarlos.

Well, now you know. I'm guessing the "war face" is key here.

This is a slightly modified version of Quartz Composer Test / Lines / www.zugakousaku.com

 

It demonstrates:

  • Interpolation (changing a value from A to B over time)
  • Image with String (creating an image from text, duh)
  • Billboard (stationary display frame, as opposed to Sprites, which are frames that move around)
  • Audio Input (responding to the Mic)
  • Math patch (in this case, tweaking the audio volume)
  • Range (in this case, limits the results of tweaked volume)
  • Color Transformation (in this case, uses tweaked audio volume to control opacity)
  • Image filtering (in this case, I'm sending the Image with String through the ASCII Art patch)

A few things that were not immediately intuitive to me:
  • Generally, data flows from left to right through Patches. Input on the left, output on the right.
  • Blue rounded patches are "consumer patches". That means they're the end of the line for data processing, and they usually send their output straight to the screen.
  • Blue or Black Straight-Cornered (not rounded) patches are abstractions of deeper complexity. Double click on them to edit their guts.
