Still Alive from jonathancoulton.com, LXVII HP67 calculator emulator from tamburri.net (or versiontracker.com), Lost Marauders at lostmarauders.com/itunes. Phishing scam avoidance, and Honda Bob tries to take QA Director Steve’s job! In Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart and I discuss his photo management process using iPhoto, how he uses ImageMagic and Perl scripts to resize and watermark, and the GIMP to do fancy editing. Example of his colorizing an image so it’s part black & white and part colour at bartbusschots.ie/gallery and his LAB colour boost work to give a “post card” look at bartbusschots.ie/gallery, and Bart’s blog post linking to the tutorial for both the black & white fun and the colour boost. DiskInventoryX from derlien.com to find out where your disk space has run off to, and VisualHub from techspansion.com to convert your huge AVI files to mp4s.
