Pick any two man and and I'll put them in.

Net connection seems stable. No disconnections for 1 hour. Fires up mail, and does the sync thing. Ten minutes later...

Finally! I get to use Mail the way it was meant to be! IMAP is awesome! Works really well with the iPhone (although I don't think the emails are transferred on syncing eh?). To infinity, and beyond. Now, I will start looking clearly.

 

[yash]

no, emails are downloaded via wifi/network on the ipod touch/iphone mail aplication.
@aryayush... ok, skype and lightroom.

Remember when I told azeem how to organize albums in itunes? well, it doesn't seem to work for me on this particular album. I have almost all the settings the same. Any guesses what the problem might be? *img155.imageshack.us/img155/4812/picture4qu0.th.png

I also checked the file location, and they are all in the same folder. which means itunes KNOWS they are all part of same album.

I created a new itunes library and imported the same files in it and this time, everything is working fine...

I google it. wikipedia page for some movies lists the songs and artists.. IMDB and musicindiaonline also have good info. but i usually crossreference them before entering in my library.

Wikipedia, IMDB and the respective movie site is what I generally use for tagging, but its painful you know, hence I had this wild imagination that there must be a site with metadata for all the Hindi Movie songs. Thanks anyways!!

As for those profiles thing, I am a bit paranoid when it comes to disclosing personal info on sites. Many of you may not find it a big deal but I hate the idea that someone can get my details from a site. But if anyone is making his personal address book or something like that and want to have my details, I'll happily do it...

--------------------------------

A couple of spaces tricks (picked up from here and there of course)

Bring all windows into Space 1: Invoke the spaces view (F8) and then press C to bring all the windows into Space 1. Pressing C again puts them back where they came from in case you hit c by accident.

See all windows in all spaces: Press F8 and then press F9 to invoke Expose while in Spaces view. Looks pretty cool if you have couple of videos playing in different spaces.

Make Finder appear in all spaces: The Finder.app is not in the applications folder. Which means that if you don't make it appear in "Every Space", then if you have a Finder window open in Space 1, and you click outside of another app in space 1, you are taken to Space 2 instead of focussing on the desktop. Very irritating.
But the Finder.app is located in /System/Library/CoreServices. Just add the Finder.app and make it appear in "Every Space". No more bother.

Adding apps to spaces: Sure you can click on the "+" button and add your apps. But a cooler way is to open up your Spaces pref pane as well as your applications window, and then just drag your apps into the spaces icons in your preference pane. Really fast.

Change delay for dragging windows between spaces:
Open up terminal > Type in defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 0.5. The bolded number is your delay in seconds. default is 0.75.

[aryayush]

LOL! That's awesome.

Those Spaces tips might be helpful to others. I knew all of those. Good post though. Always appreciated and all.

WOW! The profiles are looking really cool. We're a bunch of elitists.

Where's Preshit?

@aayush: just trying to keep some mac info going around in the thread.

------

Awesome iPhone app. Maps offline. It caches all the maps you visit so they show when you don't have a net connection.

 

[aryayush]

As if there's any use at all for those maps in India.

 

[drgrudge]

The new Skitch sucks naa? With the "Click for full size - Uploaded with plasq's Skitch" thing nagging. I had to use the URL and not use their copy code thing.

 

[goobimama]

yep. The new snitch does indeed suck. But I guess they are just hinting about it finally going out of beta. Pretty sure they are going to charge soon.

 

[iMav]

grudgy ask the admins to edit/remove the poll from the db directly its kinda killing the 'eliteness' of the thread

 

[goobimama]

Another awesome app for the iPhone. iSplit. Let's you split a bill among four people (get it? This app for designed for the popats!). Definitely staying on my home screen.

But why? Being a "loser" and a "geek" is so much more fun.

 

[goobimama]
