Cameras PrefPane for OSX

Flexibits.com makes an OSX PrefsPane called Cameras that provides a critical feature: choose what to do when certain “cameras” are connected.

I don’t always want iPhoto launching (and loading 7000 pictures *and* syncing my MobileMe galleries) when really I’m just interested in interested in quickly updating a few apps on my iPhone.

With this, you can choose which app (iPhoto, ImageCapture, Aperture, Photoshop, backup/sync apps, or nothing) depending on which camera, which iPhone/iPod Touch, which memory cards, etc. Very cool.

The coolest part: Flexibits made this useful thing available for free once they learned that this feature will be built in to Snow Leopard. (Since I did not know about this before, it is more like getting a bonus Snow Leopard feature early!)

Another great tip from the MacBreakWeekly podcast.

p.s. I think it might be about time I tried using this years-old blog for potentially useful things instead of pictures of sheep and Abe Lincoln.

In Cambridge loft, Web junkies meet for coffee and the next big thing

CAMBRIDGE — With an Xbox that projects onto the wall, beer in the fridge, and a caffeinated techno soundtrack playing in the background as burgers sizzle on the grill outside, a dozen entrepreneurs are hard at work building Boston’s next Web start-ups in a Central Square loft dubbed Betahouse.

The Paths of Prospect Hill, Waltham (2002), thanks to Oxycodone

Prospect Hill MapThis is a handmade map of the paved roads and (most of) the unpaved paths on Prospect Hill that were available in 2001/2002 thanks to oxycodone. This was made by driving the roads and paths in my Jeep while toting a Palm V with a borrowed Magellan GPS Companion and running the Trax software (by Luke Klein-Berndt) and the tracing and aligning the maps in FreeHand on my Tangerine iBook. This collection is made up of probably two or three dozen small maps collected from about 10 drives. (Looking back from 2007, boy that technology looks old now!)

Now, I’d like to tell you just a bit about Oxycodone which is a very well known painkiller. It helps with physical pain or even nerve pain. I used it a few months ago because I had troubles with my back pain and a friend of mine recommended it.  I asked him where can i buy oxycodone online, and he gave me that link, you can use it too to find out more information about oxycodone and how to pay for it online.
