#TINKERTOOL BOOKS HOW TO#
Soon she’s going to explain how to upload to picasaweb and flickr and link to your photos from other locations, like blogs or discussion forums. She’s got four of them up already, first it’s “Importing Photos from Camera Using Picasa”, then “Resizing Photos With Picasa 2”, “Include a Photo with Craig’s List Ad”, and finally “Sharing Photos Online – Choosing an Online Photo Management Service”.
He wanted a way to get photos out of his camera and into Craig’s List, so that’s part of the point of her tutorials. She’s been teaching him to use Picasa, which is a fabulous photo organizing tool for Windows. Debbie thought it would be cool to create tutorials for him online, and she decided to share them with all of us. My friend Debbie has a father who’s getting into using his computer for some fun stuff, and he requires some assistance.
#TINKERTOOL BOOKS WINDOWS#
I have a tip for the Windows folks out there this week. I may go ahead with the new one if the arrow key doesn’t heal itself soon. I thought about telling the guy that I wanted to back out on the deal, but I decided to let it ride. So, the lesson learned here is to buy a new one very quickly when something looks broken and then your original item will magically heal out of fear of being replaced. And then I woke up Sunday morning and the keyboard is almost 100% fine! The only key that’s not functioning is the up arrow, which I use more often than you would think.
I bought it! Will probably get here mid week. It’s under AppleCare, and even if I confessed about the wine, I bet they’d do it for free, but I’d be out of the machine for about 3-5 days! So then my friend Pat suggested looking for a keyboard online – and I found one on eBay for $50, supposedly brand new, from a very reputable seller. they said they charge a minimum of one hour labor ($85) even though it takes a little under five minutes to remove the 21 screws to get the keyboard out!
Went to a close place, but they’re not an authorized Apple repair place, and they’re price was way higher. The really good place I’ve been to before had a good price ($125) but they’re an hour and a half away, and i’d have to go there twice! argh. Toasted it outside in the sun on top of the hot barbecue for a while, no change. We found some vents into there, so we toasted it all over in there. They have a black plastic sticker over the metal back behind the keys. So Steve and I took the keyboard out and ran a hair dryer over the inside, but you really can’t get to the back of the keys. As much fun as all that was, I didn’t think it would be all that functional in regular working environments. Return enters delete, and delete triggers Exposé. Space bar is fun too, it enters “=/” instead. My favorite was hitting command-tab, which is supposed to switch to the next application, instead it would launch Front Row. Kind of a fun adventure, because you never knew what you were going to get when you poked a key. I left it hanging upside down on a towel (open) over night, and when I got up in the morning, the keys were cross-mapped in a lot of cases.
#TINKERTOOL BOOKS MOVIE#
I’m having a BAD week guys – on Friday night after watching a movie I still had half a glass of wine left, and as I got up to go to bed, I knocked it off the side table and into my laptop! I know, you’re wondering why I had wine left over, but try to focus, would you? I quickly flipped i upside down, and Ron rushed over with a wad of kleenexes, and we cleaned it off upside down as best we could. Today is Sunday, August 26th, 2007 and this is show #109. Listen to the Podcast Once (42 min 06 sec)Ī technology geek podcast with an ever so slight Macintosh bias.
