You remember those old flip-style clocks? Those clocks are still pretty popular today, maybe it’s because of it’s simplicity and coolness, I know I like them. If you don’t want one next to your bed, you could get one thats your screen saver. Thats what my screen saver is, a flip-style clock and flips just like a real one. Where can you get this one might say, well you can download it for Windows or Mac and it’s free! Theres no silly ads on the screen saver anything along that nature. You can download the Flip-Style Clock Screen Saver at 9031.com You know what, i’ll give you the direct link to the download if your too lazy to browse to it, here you go When you click on the floppy disc (what’s a floppy disc?) theres a small menu that appears and you can choose to download it for Windows or Mac or also view the screen shot.
Read MoreI been wanting to do some time lapse photography and I own a Nikon D60 and Nikon sells software for doing this called Nikon Camera Control Pro and it said it supported my camera so I downloaded the trial version, and after like an hour of trying to figure out how to get it to work, I just gave up and started looking for alternative programs and I was lucky enough to find a free one.
That’s right, a free one called DIYPhotobits.com Camera Control, It said that it supported my camera, downloaded the software and installed it and it detected my D60 right away. Though the interface isn’t the greatest, it’s pretty ugly and white, but it gets the job done and does it well.
There is just so much stuff you can do with this camera like tethering, time lapse, exposure bracketing and other neat stuff and they work pretty good. I didn’t have any issues doing the time lapse. I’ll have to test it someday outside. Though using such software like this will require a laptop and a USB cable so you can connect your camera to your computer.
I would much rather download this for free and instead of paying Nikon for some software that never works right. You should go try it, check out their list of cameras that work and cameras that don’t work and then go download it! Also, check out their blog too!
With some time and effort, you could do something like this with this software:
If you have Pidgin IM installed which is a very popular open source all in one chat client and works very well. If you also happen to use iTunes as your main music player and wanted Pidgin to display what you are listening to in the status of IM client, then you would use a plugin they offer called Music Tracker, which does work well, but not with iTunes.
I’ve noticed when I had Music Tracker and iTunes installed, iTunes would bog down a lot and become very unresponsive. So I don’t recommend using Music Tracker with iTunes, unless you want a slow iTunes. Now I haven’t tested this on a much faster machine, but I think it would do the same thing, but I am unsure at the moment.
If you have Music Tracker installed in Pidgin IM and also have the latest version of iTunes installed, Do you noticed any iTunes slow down at all?
I been trying a bunch of programs, like Handbreak, Videora, WinFF, Media Coder, all that which will convert AVI files into a format the iPhone can read, well so far none of them are working. Every time I try to add the video to the phone, iTunes says this phone can’t play this video on this phone or something like that. The format is like .MOV, .M4V, .MPEG4. I tried all of these formats and I can’t get any of them work! I’ve tried tutorials online that tell me how to convert .AVI video files to a format that the iPhone can read and play, so far they don’t work.
Now I am starting to think that there may be either something wrong with the phone, or an setting. I had videos that I had converted with Videora before and they work just fine, but this was a while ago. I wanted to add another video and I used Videora to convert them, and yes, everything was done the exact same way as before, and it wont play on the phone! I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Any ideas?
Have you ever downloaded a Linux ISO or maybe someone’s modified Linux operating system and the file extension is .ISO? An ISO file is a image archive of a CD or a DVD. ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization, which is supported by many software vendors. You can also open these .ISO files with such software like WinZip, 7zip or WinRAR. Alright so now I briefly told you what ISO’s are, lets talk about how we get theses images (.ISO) files on a CD or a DVD.
Did you download a audio file and/or a video in a format you may or may not have seen before? You try them, but they don’t work on your media players you have installed. Did you try VideoLan VLC Media Player? VLC Media Player is a free, open source that supports large number of codecs, sure I can list them all, but there is just way to many! But, the people at VideoLAN has created a page for you that lists them all that are supported by VLC. You can check that out here. I decided to create a little review about VLC, because I have asked a few people about VLC and they never heard of it, but they didn’t know that it can play just about every type of media format.
