Ladies and gentlemen, presenting our very own Joeymama

 

[goobimama]

Look at darky taking me seriously! Btw, I have a friend who is doing 'software engineering' and he is working on a mac app. Indian fella. I could give him your email or something. But he says he's doing it with Java...

 

[preshit.net]

As the great Arya always says, "Java is not native"

I know, C/C++... but realized now I need to learn ObjC. Oh well, I'll stick to php.

goobimama, I tried Pixen, it's too basic (or I didn't play around much). I'm a fan of Seashore now. I miss the line tool and shapes in PhotoShop. Oterwise it's good enough for basic image editing.

Should I bother with Gimp?

 

[goobimama]

Gimp is... well I didn't like it. Feels very crude.

I'll check out seashore. (btw, did I recommend Pixen to you? I don't think I did. Anyway)

www.gimpshop.com/ may help

I knew Pixen b4 and you recommended so tried it. It's too basic and almost no options. Seashore got menus like PS. For my basic need it's OK, dunno if you'll like it.

Grudge...try Adobe lightroom, you won't need Seashore &iPhote anymore

 

[goobimama]

I knew Pixen b4 and you recommended so tried it.

Well, I might have just googled it

@gx:
Yep. Lightroom is awesome, but I would assume that Seashore and lightroom have their own separate uses...

As for iPhoto vs Lightroom, they too have their separate uses. I can't for the love of Ali Baba imaging using Lightroom for my family pictures (especially with the now famed front row integration). Haven't used Aperture so I can't say (although I hear it's "light table" feature is awesome).

What's the best way to automatically get lyrics into iTunes?

Also, that site that Saurabh mentioned, is it safe? Also, will I get some form of warranty if I get an iPod shuffle from there?

Anyone heard of Lightspeed? *www.xsilva.com/launch_2.5.php#7

LightSpeed 2 is a ground-breaking, next-generation Point of Sale system built exclusively for the Mac and designed expressly to accelerate growing small businesses. LightSpeed excels in retail environments, providing your store with a full set of easy-to-use retail tools that make it easy to operate and track all aspects of your business.

The software looks amazing (and I do think I would have a use for it). I just hope I find a friend who will buy it for me...cause it seems a little too expensive to buy.

This is an interesting read. One of my friends ( Ryan ) had one of those "experiences" at the Apple Store

Ligitroom is not photoshop, it is like a replacement for ACDSee & most worth while software I found on Mac platform. I was advising Lightroom for your image management & editing like resizing etc & seashore for editing like adding arrows or baloons to the image

OK, guys. I just have to interrupt the conversation to announce this:

I landed the job at MacUser and they are going to pay me $7 per post. I'll be posting two posts each weekday, if not more. The posts will be TUAW style. Should be easy enough. That amounts to around Rs. 11,000 per month. YAY!

[I'll show my father that I can earn money without becoming a stupid interior designer.]


Sorry for the interruption, let the conversation continue...

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

wow man congrats.Rs11k+ in a month while doing what you like,I say not bad at all.

Never call desigining stupid.....you will earn more money with desigining & will be able to use your creativity instead of reading & writing something people already know.

 

[goobimama]

^^ How rude. If he loves to write more than he loves interior designing, let it be that way. It's his choice after all.

@Lord: Yep. Even though the our Apple store isn't a 'real Apple Store', the customer experience is still the best I've known. Always helpful, attending and they have no problems with me using the Touch for as long as I want
Although I must admit, my knowledge of the mac and how it works is slowly creeping beyond theirs, but still, it's a nice place.

Congrats, Aayush! Is there any post vacant for Windows based articles?

 

[drgrudge]

Congrats Aayush! $7 per post IMO is low, but it's Ok for a start.
