You can find files that have been created or modified by using cmd- 
find on your desktop, using Tiger. Then select Created and Modified  
options and date / day options.

Lombard DVD MPEG Decoding

2006-01-07 Thread Antony N. Lord
In the vein of EyeHome I have been playing with a Lombard 33 Laptop 
(no DVD decoder) plugged in to my television.


It doesn't have the grunt (using VLC) to play a DVD (.vob file) over 
the network.


I was curious about the Lombard 400 which I know has the decoder card 
- that card only does decoding for MPEG data coming off the internal 
DVD player right?


I suppose at the end of the day the quality (compared to the EyeHome) 
isn't really there and doesn't come with nice interfaces like 
component video and digital audio...


Cheers, Antony.

Hi EyeTV guys,

From this Month's Australian Macworld magazine:

"The moment that Australian EyeTV users have long waited for has  
finally arrived.
A functional electronic program guide compatible with EyeTV is now  
available from

Australian developer IceTV."
The guide is available as a free Dashboard widget for OSX10.4.
In the free version, you can see programs for the current day's  
viewing. For a small subscription fee

($3 per week) you get the full seven-day listing.

The killer feature of the Dashboard widget version of the guide, is  
it's easy interoperability with ElGato's EyeTV.
When you select a program using the IceTV widget, you're given the  
option to "Add to EyeTV".
Click on that, - the program automatically appears in your EyeTV  
schedule. You can then record it or watch it live."




H, I have been seriously thinking  about purchasing EyeHome &  
setting it up with Airport Express.


"Using EyeHome is a snap. EyeHome accesses your existing iPhoto®,  
iTunes®, Movies and EyeTV content from your Mac on the TV. The  
content appears on the TV organized as it is on the Mac, making it  
incredibly easy to navigate and find the correct digital content.  
EyeHome can be used without the hassle of having to install and  
learn a new application or reorganize any files on the Mac."

Re: Virtual PC and Mac - security

2006-01-07 Thread Spin
Thanks all for your responses, I've changed XP based on the  
recommendations (or the ones I could follow anyway) and it seems to  
run faster.


Security wise, I'm a lot more comfortable now.  VPC says Shared  
Networking uses NAT, which would suggest the Windows PC is  
effectively hidden (as much as the Mac) from external intrusions.
Points about AVG and firewalls noted.   I'll keep XP auto updates on.


I did look carefully at OmniGraffle.  It supports Visio 2002 files  
(not Visio 2003).  It also doesn't have equivalent functionality  
(that I could see anyway) for preparing business process diagrams  
(Visio has very good cross functional flowchart components).  I'll  
keep tracking OmniGraffle though, looks interesting.


By the way, I ran the GRC 'Shields Up' (grc.com), and it shows all  
ports closed except ftp, telnet and http (this is both from the Mac  
and from the VPC).  Any idea why this is, and if (and how) they can  
be turned off?


Thanks again.

Glenn.

You absolutely must keep it up to date. E-mail is not the only

That's not entirely true, but you'll probably be fine. I'd  
recommend installing and using AVG from grisoft.com anyway. If  
you're confident you can avoid getting the system infected, I  
wouldn't bother letting it remain resident, instead just run scans  
occasionally. Mostly though it's safer to let it run resident  
("continuous scanning" essentially).


I have only had to use Explorer once, to access a  trusted site  
that doesn't support Safari/Firefox - so I also consider  anti- 
spyware to be unnecessary also.


You're probably OK there. I wouldn't want to use any persistent/ 
resident spyware scanner (many of which cause more problems than  
they solve), but do consider using something like AdAware from  
lavasoft.de to do scans every few months.

So  I'll raise the other niggling question - without Virtual PC  
running,  should the Mac firewall be on or not?  I've heard  
conflicting  positions on whether the NAT router is adequate  
protection or not.


A NAT router makes it difficult to initiate a connection to your  
systems from the outside world. The extremely basic firewalls in  
Mac OS X and Windows XP are intended to do much the same thing.  
Things that can make it through NAT (e-mail borne nasties, IRC /  
instant messenger attacks, browser exploits, etc) will most often  
also make it through the XP and Mac OS X firewalls.


That said, unless you specifically need to disable the firewall for  
some reason, leave it enabled.


I personally wouldn't let windows near the net without AVG anti- 
virus and ZoneAlarm firewall.


I agree with regards to AVG, though if you're a careful and  
informed user you can usually get away without running it in  
resident mode. I think ZoneAlarm is unncessary for most users with  
XP SP2, and it can cause more problems than it solves.


I've had to fix more Windows boxes that broke due to ZoneAlarm  
(conflicts, bad upgrades, broken uninstalls, etc) than due to viruses.



I cant emphasise the iffy security of IE enough.


This is especially true right now, where any website can take total  
control of your computer through an image. That means that (eg)  
some web forums will permit another poster to put up an image  
that'll control your computer.


Given what you have said, Windows OS updates should only be  
necessary *if* the normal operation of the OS and programs  
specifically require it. You can, given enough patience, install  
just required updates.


Noo! Just turn on automatic updates. It's low fuss (though  
sometimes really annoying about bugging you to reboot), works well,  
and won't break things.



Also it may improve your mileage if you turn off:
Active desktop
Screen saver
Auto shut-down/sleep
Messenger service
Auto updates


I'd recommend leaving automatic updates enabled.


Off-line files
System recovery


By disabling system restore, you turn off the ability to repair

erase and start again.


Menu fading/transition, window animation(?) (plus a few other items on

access to XP at this juncture; HOORAY!)


These are important, they cause surprisingly large slowdowns especially 
under emulators. Switching the Windows XP theme back to the older 
Windows 2000 style also puts a real rocket behind the OS. IIRC you can 
do this in the Display control panel, or right click on the desktop 
background and chose properties. I'm not 100% sure as I'd have to reboot 
to check, and I'm using a real OS right now.

 "recently added" is a smart playlist, you won't be able to clear

if you mean by delete - to remove it from itunes altogether then find

else if you mean delete  from the playlist as  "remove" from the

or slightly less facetiously

3: change the "recently added" smart playlists criteria  down to a 
shorter time till the track (and all other tracks before that date ) 
drop off. I think the default is a month (mine is edited down to one 
week) - you can change it downward to 1 day.

single click on playlist then 

or

4: change the "recently added" smart playlist criteria with a "not" 
operation and enter a criteria that will match only the songs you 
want to remove (so you may need to enter several "not" conditions if 
thier is no common criteria

single click on playlist then 

or (opps I think I'm getting facetious again)


5: find/write  an itunes Library file editor or a way to unlock this 
tag in itunes  and edit the actual iTunes library.
I've looked high and low for one of these. there are plenty of mp3 
tag editors out there and they are good for what they do but this 
data (date added)  isn't held in the mp3 files metta data tag but in 
the iTunes library - this program library is a binary file so can't 
be opened in a raw text editor

Lloyd,

Highlight the 'Recently Added' Smart Playlist then FILE > EDIT SMART
