What do you set the value of "display" to ?

 

[gxsaurav]

It wasn't my first time either. I remote controlled Mac OS X from my W550i long before gx_saurav was born. As an added bonus, it hadn't required any third party software.

Again, you are late, I have used my old K700i to control my Windows XP based system long before u bought your Macbook.

I could move the mouse almost as fast as I can on the trackpad.

Again, same here using K750i's joy stick.

On gx_saurav's K750i, each press of a button moves the mouse one step in either direction. Moving from one edge of the screen to the other is like a trek across Greenland. The difference between the two mediums is as profound as some coconut water on the corner of the road and a strawberry shake in the Grand Hyatt.

Maan gaye....teri ignorence ki daad deni paregi. Did u try the joy stick of K750i to move the mouse pointer


Right now I am waiting for my TV Tuner card to arrive with the Windows Media Center remote to control the computer. Till then, I use my K750i to control Windows Media Center as a real MCE remote. I can do everything a normal MCE remote does....can u do that using an iPhone? Tell me, really...can u control Windows Media center using iPhone or MythTV/Something else in Linux? I can use my K750i to control WMC, MythTV & even front row in Mac.

If you did all that using a K750i and Windows Vista, your grandkids would be complaining that you'd been hogging the computer for too long by the time you'd be done.

Nah, right now my Workstation is faster then what you have for your Mac OS X, so hardly any lags.

what are you talking about?

 

[aryayush]

I have no idea what he meant by that either.

@yash,
I've said this before and I'll say it again. You look different in every single photo I've seen you in till date. And you look different on a video conference. I doubt I'll be able to recognise you when we meet in person.

Well, when you set up a server in TouchPadPro, there's a field called "Display", the default value to which is set to 0.
I see a black screen on my iPhone. How did yash get the screen share ?

I am using a software called Vnsea. its a mobile client based on chicken of the vnc. its a full fledged remote desktop app not just a remote control app.

The performance is pretty poor on a 2Mbps connection though.

EDIT: This is about the fact that the boys are to be meeting at the BandCamp thing. The rest can keep their height to themselves
This is subject to how tall you guys are. I don't want to be the short one in the group. So if both of you are above 5'10", then I'm not going to be in sight . I'm 5'8" btw.

@Yash: Wow! That's something (the comment is for the iPhone, not you).

@gx: Ha! I haven't used the iPhone to track on the screen, but please oh please don't give me that joystick rubbish. I've seen many a people attempt to do it and it's not pretty.

 

[aryayush]

I, for one, am only 5'11", so you have nothing to worry about.

 

[goobimama]

I better put on my high heels then...

 

[yash]

I have no clue how the 'height' discussion began, but I'm the shortest of you all. getting back to topic of ipod touch, I WANT MORE LEVELS OF LABYRINTH!!!

 

[goobimama]

@yash: Edited my height post. You need not apply.

Screen Grab Utility With Bite
Web Snapper lets you capture web pages - exactly as they appear in your browser. You can send them to a file, as images or vector-based, multi-page PDFs. It captures the whole web page - eliminating the need to cut, paste and crop multiple screen-shots when trying to create an image or PDF.

So I'm guessing no more need for Paparazzi?

Now if someone could get more 'details' on tabexpose...it seems like an awesome plugin.

Anyone know how to make Preview the default viewer of PDFs in Safari? Acrobat seems to have taken over and I have no idea how to reset it.

 

[yash]

I ran drive genius again today on my leopard volume and there were some errors so running a repair right now.

I'm pretty sure there is just such an option in the Acrobat preferences.

getting back to topic of ipod touch, I WANT MORE LEVELS OF LABYRINTH!!!

I seem to recall someone saying, "if you complete all the levels of the demo i will worship you". Looks like I'm not the only one unhappy about it being just a demo now.

Heyy guys, I wanna purchase External DVD-Writer for MacBook, any suggestions ???

 

[yash]

hey, I just realized my ipod touch is not syncing play counts with itunes. even though I have it set to automatically sync.

I would go for blu-ray. the ability to backup my entire music collection on two blu-ray discs is enticing.

 

[goobimama]

You crazy? 40k for a backing up discs is not exactly enticing. Better to get TBs of hard drive space.

As for suggestions, just get an external 5.25" Firewire enclosure and put a DVD writer in there. Make sure it's firewire cause USB can't burn discs very well. Otherwise look for a branded one.

no, I'm not crazy. I always have trusted optical disks more than hard drives. and the recent episode just strengthens the belief. and itunes won't let you backup to 'hard disk drive' *img510.imageshack.us/img510/3655/picture2qd6.png

 

[goobimama]

I was shocked to find my blog stats show a huge bump in visitors for today. So I checked the referals. My Apple Menu has carried my latest post on Safari The visitors are coming by the hordes!

@yash: Whatever it may be, 40k for smalltime home user backup system is not exactly the right way to go. Especially since the media itself will cost a coupla hundred bucks a piece.
