Spaces and Exposé

I’ve never thought much about Virtual Desktops in OS X although I have used it frequently on Linux Desktops and at the beginning in OS X Panther.
My thought always was: why more than one Desktop, when I’ve got Exposé. After watching the following video I might have changed my mind.
Virtual Desktops and Exposé seems to be the way to got!

See Spaces and Exposé of the upcoming OS X 10.5 Leopard in action:

Back from Frequency ‘06

So I made it back in one piece from the last Festival this year.
I didn’t sleep very much, worked hard and also tried to get a bit of the party. The sad thing is my car broke down on the way back from Salzburg, hope it won’t cost to much to get it fixed again :(

Sadly my digicam is broken so I don’t have any photos, you’ll have to put up with a crappy one from my cellphone. I’ll try to reach everybody who made photos of me and with me to send them to me. They’ll be up in my gallery then.

Wir Sind Helden @Frequency Festival '06

Now I’ve got one week left before I fly off to Australia to work there for four month. Everyone capable of reading German can take a look at the Aussiblog which will be updated while I’m away from home.

I use this - digg style software list

logo.pngHerbert pointed me at i use this. It’s very similar to digg.com but instead of news software is it’s main focus.

i use this lists software and lets you klick on a button if you use this software. It’s very easy to find new cool software for your mac, try it!

It even has a neat “blog this” button that lets you feature software you love in your blog :)

The Time Fountain

This is simply amazing! You have to see this.
This guy built a device that illuminates fluorescent drops of water with UV LEDs in order to be able to give the impression of them slowing down, standing still or even move backwards.

Go to cre.ations.net to read some more background information.

WordPressDash - blog from your Dashboard

Not enough that I can blog with ecto, use Flock or login into Wordpress directly to feed you with news… No!
Now I found a Dashboard widget (which I’m using right now) that allows me to kick off a few lines very quickly.

WordPressDash is an easy solution to post simple texts. For more complex layouts I would rather switch to ecto but WordPressDash lets you set the Category your entry is poted in and there is even a choice if you want to save it as draft or post it directly for everyones viewing pleasure :)
