Videos Updated

The Videos section of my site has recieved a complete overhall. After much deliberation I decided that it was too much work to keep the videos hosted on my own server and decided to use the excellent video hosting service Vimeo. What I love most about Vimeo is the ability to upload 720p videos to their servers, and SD vides uploaded to Vimeo look great as well and 100% better than YouTube. My videos page is now a blog page that I will embed my videos from Vimeo into. You can subscribe to the Videos rss feed to stay up to date with my latest videos.

Cheers!

Pause Minimization

Here’s a fun little trick! This screencast I made will show you how to pause a window in mid-minimization. This trick really has no value, but it’s always cool to show off to your friends.

10.5.3 brings Spaces enhancements

Spaces Active Application Assignment
When I first got my hands on a copy of Leopard (if I remember correctly I snagged a copy of the beta just before the Golden Master, which was still very buggy) Spaces became my favorite feature (along with Quick Look).

With the recent release of Leopard 10.5.3 Spaces has seen some great enhancements. The most notable one has an excellent write-up by John Gruber over at Daring Fireball. I’m not going to discuss this new feature because I feel that John has done an excellent job at that task.

One feature I would like to discuss is one I discovered today. This feature is much less prominent than the former, however it is still very useful. In 10.5 through 10.5.2 in order to add an application assignment for Spaces, you had to click the plus button and search through your Applications folder to find the application you wanted to add. In 10.5.3 you are now presented with a pop-up list of all of your currently running applications and can quickly add an application assignment. This small enhancement is welcomed with open arms and will save precious seconds while using my Mac.
