My Blog: Wayne posted again after a weeks break on the need for consistency and content ( http://myapplestuff.com/keeping-it-up/) which is something that I try hard to maintain with my own blog. I have added an Amazon UK store to the site to see how it works. The forums are picking up slowly but in the way I wanted them to.
Reviews: I liked Disco before and now they have added smoke to the Mac mini I am really happy ( http://myapplestuff.com/disco-10/). I also took a look at Toast specifically with a view to converting eyeTV recordings to DVD-R and I was really impressed ( http://myapplestuff.com/i-love-toast/). I totally loved Keyword Manager and recommend it to anyone that uses iPhoto ( http://myapplestuff.com/keyword-manager/).
Projects: I think it is OK to say that the Audio Project is now completed and everything is up and running ( http://myapplestuff.com/multimix8usb/). I am still waiting for the cables so I can lay the network, which I am excited about.
Apple News: The AppleTV was the main thing that caught my eye this week, not just because it is looking like it will be delayed (remember our conversation at the beginning of the year about Corporate Fatigue??) but also because I was always against getting one as it only works with iTunes content but as I can export my recorded material into iTunes it is now slightly more attractive ( http://myapplestuff.com/apple-tv-just-got-interesting/)
And of course I have yet another addiction: SmugMug (www.smugmug.com) is a really good site for storing and promoting your digital pictures.
And ‘one more thing’ – the comments so far on the DSLR project have been really helpful, thanks and keep them coming.
