Just wanted you to know, in case you hadn’t noticed, there’s a link at the top of flickr pics that says “All Sizes”. You may want to click that because it gives you the option of downloading the full size version of the photo. I know for web use, it’s probably not that critical, but nice to know that option is there.

PP – Oh, noes! Also, shit! Hope you can get it up and running again swiftly. The good news is that Apple does deliver pretty great customer service for those hefty prices you pay. And definitely check out TextExpander when you can. It’s way fun!

Claire – Thanks for noticing my little attribution links. I studied lots of other ones before coming up with this for myself.

As to embiggening, there’s a button with arrows going in four directions in between the volume lines and the Vimeo logo. Click that and it will make it huh-YOOGE.

Jason – And that’s just what I have on the dock. You don’t wanna know how many apps I really have. It’s…excessive.

Bon – I loved Entourage but even at low-level usage–1,500 or so contacts–I was forever wrassling with that f#!king database. I’m not nuts about Address Book, but at least it’s relatively stable.

I do like the screencast and vote for more, for whatever! And embiggen is a lovely word. “A bargain at twice the price” makes me love the “old you” of the advertising era.

And I have Mac envy. Mine is not happy these days. But it’s not its fault. It’s the fault of Snow Leopard meets a corrupted database in MS Entourage and way too many contacts to be using a consumer-based piece of software on the wrong platform anyway. Bleh.

But yes, more screencasts. Very the good!

That is an ungoldy number of icons on your dock. Of course, I say that having been a mac user not even 3 weeks. I’m probably going to get there sometime in the future.

I’ve always noticed your image attributions. It’s one of the things I like about your blog.

Enjoyed the vid though I didn’t see how to view it larger. Not a big deal in this case because I get what you were doing, but to better see what the cursor is doing/what you’re typing, larger would help. That’s probably just me not noticing something to click on though.

Just got a Mac (and I’m not happy right now because it appears broken!!! ahhh!) but I’m going to have to check this out when it’s fixed bc it sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing it!

Anne – Where do you live? When I come through town next, let’s have us a hootenanny!

Seriously, thanks. I’ve been dreadfully neglectful of my guitar playing this year; you’ve inspired me to get back on it.

Jamy – So sorry! I’ve fixed it on the Vimeo end, so it *should* work now. (Thanks, Peleg, for the heads up, too!)

If anyone else has problems of any kind with the video, will you let me know? I’m new to this video stuff…obviously. :-)

I wanted to watch the video but it’s marked “private” and wants me to log in. :(

Great tip–might get this, especially since it’s on sale!

While I don’t have a Mac and didn’t understand most of the brilliance in that message, I did peek at your Filthy Motivational Sond (who could resist). My eyes are a little wet as I am still laughing.

I haven’t heard anything this good since the opening act for John Prine led 1200 people in a group sing of the one line song … “I’ve got all the funking work I need”!

By the way, excellent guitar playing – your practice really showed.
