Time Machine is a new backup application found in the newest version of Apple's operating system. This application creates timed backups of your entire computer. We will be testing a network-based solution of this tool during the summer. As you could have predicted applications are starting to emerge to enhance the usefulness of this tool. Time Machine Scheduler is such a tool. This little application gives much greater flexibility to the time at which incremental backups occur.
Starting this week I have been presenting a brief look into Leopard and providing attendees with the opportunity to reserve a space in the "drop-off" and upgrade to Leopard service. Attendance has been low, but it will soon pickup. I will continue to offer these workshops throughout the summer term and fall. The "drop-off" service will also offer upgrades to MS Office and iLife. If you need a schedule contact me or your departmental secretary.
Application Highlights:
Google Documents - freeware
* Online document creation system (documents, presentations and spreadsheets)
* Share and Collaboration in real time
* Safely store and organize your work (upload and download)
* Control Access to your shared documents
Jack OS X - freeware
Without getting too technical this application, amongst other features, can redirect the audio output of one application to the audio input of another application. Use your imagination!
Geotagger 1.2 - freeware
This application will add the latitude and longitude values to an image file from the current location of Google Earth. New cameras with GPS features do this automatically, but this application can be used for those of us wanting this function, but not interested in paying the price for this feature in our cameras.
If you have a topic that needs to be addressed please contact me and I will help get the word out or find a solution.
