I downloaded a cool export tool for my dvd library that turns it into a web page. Check it out here: http://www.yourservice.com/steve/library

what do you want to watch today?
Saturday, June 28th, 2008cool mac feature
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Was playing around and discovered if you do the following: <ctrl> “two fingers on the mouse pad and drag up” that the screen zooms in. This is really cool if you want to quickly blow up the screen size but not change any application fonts.
Feed me Firefox!
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Ok, somewhere between installing firefox on my mac and now they added RSS support inside of Firefox. The only thing that was keeping me on Safari was the RSS feed displays in the toolbar. It now supports this natively instead of loading an external feed program.
I will run Firefox exclusively for the next few weeks and see if I can deal with the program changes.
The Big Train Show
Friday, June 6th, 2008Angie and I arrived in Ontario, California tonight for The Big Train Show. We will be attending some clinics and have entered our bridge into the scratch building contest.
The bridge was packed in it’s travel box (over 6′ long) and strapped down in the back of the truck. It survived the trip and did not budge an inch in the back of the truck.
More details about the show this weekend.
How about a 1st chance offer?
Sunday, June 1st, 2008Since I have been buying things on Ebay lately and noticed something called second chance offers. It appears that the seller contacts you and said, “Hey you have a second chance offer, and it’s for your max-bid amount.”
I strongly discourage buying from these sellers if your offered one of these. There is nothing to prevent them from bidding up the item with another account and then turning around and selling it back to you at your highest price. I have received two of these offers in the last 48 hours and it seem suspicious that I am out bid a day earlier, then I am offered the second chance offer within minutes of the auction ending.
