Under Doug
It seems a little weird that, for almost all of my collaboration with other employees of my firm about work product (mainly word documents) we still use email and send attachments around.
We do use Instant Messaging, mainly our reception lets us know when a client has arrived. For some reason though I [...]
I wrote an Automator Workflow to convert a number of pages documents to PDFs, then join them together. The “unnecessary” actions in the workflow that rename the PDF files just seem to be required or the combine PDF actions fail.
The most useful part of this is the Action step that converts pages documents to PDF [...]
I ran out of disk space on my mac mini (recording a lot of video will chew up disk space quickly), so I bought a newertechnology miniStack V2 external firewire drive (misrepresented as “Whisper Quiet”), which sites nicely under the mac.

A while back I switched from Lotus Notes to Index Cards out of frustration. I am finding that a little problematic, because I end up with a big stack of index cards in a box that is out of site most of the time and I am shuffling too much paper around a [...]
On the approximately third anniversary of the break-in to my home and my wedding anniversary, yesterday I decided it would be a good idea to back up the data on my mac. I have been backing up the family photos and video through foldershare. Some of my folders which contain business planning material, [...]
I wrote a awhile back about the need to reboot my PVR once in a while. The PVR I have is a Motorolla DCT6412 III.
There have been a few other issues with it as well:
