It was a busy month, as always.
Best trick I ever learned was to keep my task list on index cards. One actionable task per card. That way you always have a list of what's to do next, and something of an audit trail of what you did. Date each card, and put a client or project name on each task. It works for me, and keeps my mind like water (HTTP://zenhabits.net/2007/01/mind-like/water/ )
Any hardcore ESPN fans know where this was taken?
For Cyberduck SFTP == SCP
If you need to copy files from your Mac to a Linux Host using SCP, Cyberduck will let you do that, even though SCP is not listed in the protocol list. Just select SFTP from the protocol list, and your regular Linux login credentials (or public key file) and you should get in.
Use 7-Zip to play ISO files in Windows Media Center, sorta.
Apparently, when using the DVD Library feature of Windows Media Center, the software would much rather have each DVD in a separate folder, with the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subdirectories in that folder. I’ve had precious little success getting Media Center to read ISO format files.
So, if you have an ISO file Can you play it in Windows Media Center? Well, sure, kinda.
It turns out that your little friend 7-Zip, the free, open source archive manager, understands .iso format files as compressed archives.
So, simply open the .iso file in 7-Zip, and extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a folder in your library, and you’re off to the races.
Something like:
+Videos
+---My Movie
+-------- VIDEO_TS
|-------- AUDIO_TS
|-------- folder.jpg
Adding an image, explicitly named “folder.jpg” will add that as the “box cover” to your display in Media Center.
Best of luck.
