» Blogging Wednesday

It’s indeed Wednesday today and for me at least a very fine Wednesday. The sun is shining, the music is being played and I have had the day off for a project work. Onto the happenings of today now.

• First off a tip. If you are a coder like me you might definitely like this cool source code editing program called Smultron. It’s totally free and has all of the standard features, plus some that the commercial programs don’t even have. I’ve been using it for a while and I’m in the process of writing a review up on it!
   
• Are you an InDesign user? Maybe you are but are you an InCopy user? If you are then I have a cool site for you. From Anne-Marie Concepcion who has been bringing us the InDesignSecrets we can now go to InCopySecrets as well and it’s really cool especially if you are an InCopy user (otherwise it would be pretty useless although there are a few InDesign tips there as well). 
   
• Do you travel with your laptop? Maybe you go to conferences or you host one? Are you worried that someone in your house might want to use your computer when you are not there? Or maybe you just like cool applications. In any case do check out iAlertU a very cool application that lets you lock and larm your computer so that if anyone tries to do anything with it, a siren like a car alarm will go off. It’s controlled through the Apple Remote and can even take a picture of the intruder through the built in iSight cam!

Summer is getting closer and closer for everyday and it is really starting to get warm outside so I advice you to get out and enjoy the nice weather. Take photos, walk a little, run or just sit still in the sun. Either way, get out and about!

» Happy Birthday iMac!

Today, ten years ago Apple released the iMac. The iMac was a direct hit and is what really sparked their computer making and got them the success computer that we still see around today. In a different style, but still pretty similar. They’ve gone from colours to clean white to an aluminium look in these ten years with loads of technical updates of course. In the above picture you see the first ever iMac and at the other side, the current version.

So, a big congratulations to Apple for making this great product and congrats to the iMac on its ten year anniversary!
