Re: TSB09- HDR Explained by Trey Radcliff the master – also Nikon D90 talk

Thank you I appreciate the feedback. I tend to hit the level where I sit in photography which is "still learning" and "Making lots of mistakes, but learning from them"

Loved the interview with Trey Victor, I have tried HDR but am invigorated to try again, you seem to hit the right level with the interviews so keep up the great work.

Hey Victor funny thing, I listened to your latest podcast before watching this clip, can I say that perhaps one of the reasons you get less comments from the podcast is the fact that it's factual, your assisting people, you make the point people take that on board and move on, case in point I use rapidweaver I liked the interview because I use Rapidweaver, but I can't add more to what's been said.
Where'as these clips are more thought provoking and people want to share their thoughts along side your's and it perhaps a more two way conversation.
Don't do the podcast and say it's finished then watch the comments! That's not a serious suggestion by the way, lolz. They are 2 different enviroments and everyone enjoys them for what they are.
And hey I agree would be nice to see hwere your heading occasionally :-)

Hey Victor It's great having these clips on the website rather than going to YouTube because whenever I go to YouTube I end spending far to long there!
I'd agree about Twitter/Pownce information informing about your shows, and also having a suscriber mail notification, until or as well as something new comes along, having inpromptue casts can be difficult to advertise of course. I'd say putting an RSS feed on those could assist as well??
Keep up the great content.

Re: TMUP Live 75: Wireless Networking and Airports

georgestarcher — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:25:09 -0000

All home class devices dont have a real traditional firewall. It is more a feature of the network address translation that all home routers do. The netgear is not going to be any different really than the airport gear.

Re: TMUP Live 75: Wireless Networking and Airports

Gazmaz — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:36:16 -0000

Thanks I was wondering that, and at this point I can't go 5GHz as I only (at this point) have one wireless router and I use Apple TV as well as an iPod touch. One other question I have an old Netgear router and was thinking of getting rid of that, is the built in Firewall on the extreme as good, as the Netgear Firewall has served me very well, and do I need to set it up?

Hey guys just got back from my hols, and I got a Time Machine now I'm trying to set it up and I'm thinking about the channels issue, well guess what I had a look using iStumber and I see 6 wireless signals! 2 on channel 1, 2 on channel 11, 1 on chaanel 6 and 1 on channel 9 !!
the noise varies from 14 to 20% and the signal strength varies from 25 to 41%.
Do I need to leave my Airport Extreme setting on Automatic?

I have seen this image with lots of different Welsh coaches over the past, why weren't you made aware then. ?

Re: TMUP 119: It’s about Time Machine

Gazmaz — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 04:41:54 -0000

Great show again Victor can I clarify one thing and ask a question.
Firstly I have a 750GB hard drive but I at the moment only use around 270-300 GB, I have a Firewire ext drive which is a 500GB and of course at the moment that is plenty, so rather then 1.5 times your hard drive, which I understand is ideal would it be equally as well to say 1.5 times your data is sufficient.
Now I love Time Machine I think it's easy and unlike some (especially windows) apps it doesn't eat too much of your recourses when active.
Now I have not yet gone down this avenue, but if I purchase a portable ext drive, can I also use that as an extra drive to use time machine to back up to, that way I can store that drive off site, I realise that this means that the backup to that drive has less increments, but at least it gives you a second backup. Now can Time machine handle the fact that it has two completely different backup's? (hope that makes sense)

Re: TMUPS 013: Text to Audio Files using Automator

Gazmaz — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:24:01 -0000

Already used this Victor all I can say is "you rock" I like it!
Well done again I tell you what here's a well done for the next one as well, lolz..... :-)

Re: Macworld 2008: Belkin’s Podcast Studio

Rene — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:32:52 -0000

@Gazmaz: For recording while running, I use an iRiver IFP-790 with a compatible Giant Squid Audio Lab omnidirectional mono lapel mic and Creative EP-630 noise canceling earbuds for monitoring the sound. I put the iRiver on a waist belt, and guide the wires under my running shirt. I've recording two (Dutch language) podcast episodes with this.

You probably will have to filter out the wind noise with a high-pass filter at 80 Hz in your audio editor afterwards, or use a mic that has a built-in rumble-canceling filter (cuts everything below 80 Hz).

Re: Macworld 2008: Belkin’s Podcast Studio

Gazmaz — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:43:13 -0000

Looks great Victor and a cheap option for recording on the go for those who don't want to spend lots of money, I'd love to be able to record whilst doing my reffing, anyone know of a unit like this that can record wireless, or an even smaller unit that can be carried and have a small collar mic attached?

It still amazes me how much spare room you get inside a computer box, well done Victor. You are no "Typical user", but then I'd do the same so maybe you are.! :-)

Re: TMUP Live 66: Liana Lehua from Girls Gone Geek

typicalmacuser — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:59:14 -0000

Thanks for taking the time to write as always it means a lot to me. It was a blast and Liana even blogged about it today http://girlsgonegeek.tv/archives/296

I love this element of the show. It's very stressful to do the live show but so worth it. Cali coming up next Sunday.

Hey Victor I wish I could have been on your cast last night (for me) as I love the Air and I have called it a classic and I said WOW when I saw the twitters came in from the Keynote, I was on the for mac eyes only keynote special "Reaction Time: Macworld Expo Keynote 2008", and I've stated on my blog and in several other places the reasons I think it's a winner, I'm glad that people are starting to realise that this IS a cracking machine! Yeah I know it's not for everyone, but I think there are several good business reasons and I would love to only carry that size of machine around.
Great show as usual Victor.

Re: TMUP 116: What’s up Leopard Dock

Gazmaz — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 03:42:39 -0000

Great piece on the Dock Victor I like messing about with all the options and I thought I had made all the adjustments I needed for my work flow, but yet again you reminded me of actions I could take the ease my work pattern. Like putting recently required items into a folder and access that folder via the dock, you seem to know just when to put out the reminders!
Your the man.

Re: Leopard 10.5.2

Gazmaz — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 18:26:51 -0000

10.5.2 loaded most (haven't tried all yet) apps seem to be working OK, watch out for the Graphics update that comes after the 10.5.2 update. Required a new Software update search.

Re: iPod Touch - A flashlight feature

Gazmaz — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:38:15 -0000

Funny you should say that about using the Touch as a Flashlight I've been doing a similar thing with my 5th iPod for a while now, just occasionally do I stub my toe when the light goes off to save energy lolz

Re: Automator & iCal - Scheduled Sending your Spouse your Weekly Calendar

Gazmaz — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:20:42 -0000

I think that Automator s something I really need to play with more, and snippets like this really help thanks good stuff :-)

Re: Post Macworld 2008 Coverage: Ken Ray of Mac OS Ken

Gazmaz — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 10:42:50 -0000

Spot on Ken and as for sex with the Air (I think I do as well) hey man you rock!
I think that this machine will be a classic, the new Merlin Mann's of the Apple world will get this but I tell you they are not here yet, this will bring a new generation of Apple Lovers into the Apple fold, I love the Air I did not see it with it was announced I was on a podcast listening to the updates on the web, catching stuff as it came through if you listened to that cast you'll know that I fll in love with that machine immediately. I have a feeling that this machine is more business orientated that people think, and hey I m a home users and I want one, yes as a second machine though. Of course it's expensive, but look at the opposition and you'll see it's not as expensive as some, if you think this is expensive then it's not for you. As the years go by and technology allows this but be cutting edge then this will replace the lower end Macbook range. Apple although your getting a bit of stick (bad comments) for this I think you've moved on a step. Coooooooool.

Re: Macworld 2008 Keynote - What does it mean for the UK?

Re: Second Day at Macworld Wrap up

Gazmaz — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 06:01:21 -0000

Hey Victor get some sleep man and rest those weary feet. I'm sure the hard work is worth all the excitment and meetup's your having, keep up the podcasting back and be assured we are with you if not in body certainly in spirit. :-)))))))))))))

Re: iTunes - Movie Rentals Early Tricks

Gazmaz — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 02:21:41 -0000

Don't know if you've already been told Victor, but the UK price for the Apple TV is 199.00 gbp while the US version is 229.00 usd, I can only assume that this is because the income from the US rentals allows the price to be lowered so until we get rentals in the UK we will be paying a much higher price for the same product. :-( Don't have a problem with that, but I want HD downloads come on Apple don't take to long putting rentals on the UK site!
