I've some video clips captured by a Logitech Webcam 8 years ago. The video clips has an extension of AVI and no longer able to play back in Mac OS X Leopard. I don't quite remember if it can be play on Mac OS X Tiger. The codec they used is unknown. QuickTime just complains a missing codec without any useful information. I tried to play back the video on XP with Windows Media Player. There pops up a dialog saying it requires Indeo Codec.
Okay, so, let's download the Indeo Codec, from official website? Check this out: http://www.ligos.com/index.php/home/products/indeo/. And it said: "Ligos Indeo Software® Codecs for Windows - $14.95". What!? That definitly does not worth my money to just play back 10 clips. After some googling, here you can Download Ligos Indeo Codec 5.11 for free. Yes, since 5.12 they charge, and all we need is the older version.
It is time to convert the video to some common or widely used format that will not have licensing issue in future (at least no one would change the license to a pay-license mode), such as MPG-2 or QuickTime.

Preview - PDF editor
別人都說Mac裡的Preview很強大，以前都試過一部份功能，除了它可以看圖、修圖外，還可以讀PDF文件，這是Windows比不上的部份。
今日打算列印一份四十頁的PDF，見其中有很多沒有用處的頁，像字體細小得叫人不去看的legal statement、或者章節間的白頁等。突然想，Preview能否幫我去掉那些空白頁呢？
在Preview裡打開了PDF，按delete真的可以去掉一整頁，不過無法Save as，只可以Print、再按下PDF，選Save as PDF。雖然有點奇怪，but it works！四十頁的文件縮小到三十頁，除了用少五張A4紙外，起碼可以減少攜帶的重量（少許）。

Installer problem in iPhone 1.1.4
Recently, the Installer in my iPhone (1.1.4) stop working properly. Everything I try to install an application, it will says "Main script execution failed." I followed suggestions online to repair the permission of Installer. Nope, not working. I followed the instruction to download wget, which is used to re-download Installer, the file is always 0 bytes.
It has been stop working for week. Until I found something new today: reinstall the Installer. Open Installer, select Uninstall, select Installer under Utilities. The usual Uninstall button become Reinstall. When I click it, it said "Not enough space, free at least 512KB". I said, what!? I'm pretty sure I've 600 MB free space left. What's wrong?
Then I read a quote of a post in Mac Rumors Forum (here). It said, originally Posted by germen:
I highly recommend to install both "Community Sources" and "BossTool" (in "Utilities" category) and run the "Free Disk Space" inside BossTool in order to relocate Fonts, Ringtones and Applications to the main disk partition and be able to install a lot of applications without space lack problems. Note: do it in the recommended order first Fonts, then Ringtones and Applications at last.
I used to think that BossTool is some tools to avoid being spot by boss that we are playing on iPhone instead of using it for work (what kind of work can be done on iPhone?). I never try until now. And here is the reasoning, which I use the BossTool fixed my iPhone (copy from BossTool):
After I moved Fonts, Ringtones (I didn't download any), and Applications, 125 MB is free. I now feel that iPhone is very like a PDA - with so little of memory space.

First week with iPhone (1.1.4)
On the first night, I've already fill up the 8GB (7.1GB space) with ScreenCasts Online PodCasts, songs and photos. Not to mention that I begins to install third-parties' applications and games via Installer.
Playing iPhone for couple of days, I found that without anytime-anywhere Internet access, iPhone is nothing more than a WM/Palm PDA. In fact, its PIM is weaker than that on PDAs. iCal does nothing more than Calendar in S60 devices, for example, both lack of full support of category. Its soft-keyboard is harder to type than using stylus on WM/Palm (Graffit is the best), nor as fast as T9 on mobiles' keypad. Despite of those, its outlook are still cool. Its fully touch screen concept is great and provides more possibilities in programming. Yet, iPhone still can't worth its price (US$399) if without EDGE service. EDGE is need to unlock the mobile-Internet capability, because WiFi-access online limited to office or home, unless you live in Pacific Coffee.
iPhone is so simple and direct to use. I passed it to a girl, just to show her some photos. Without any help, she unlocked the phone, located Photo, and browsed all photos. Apple's design is great and user-friendly (unless you want all power from the device or the computer). So, iPhone doesn't come with a thick user guide or manual. However, we stil need some fixes and third-party software to make it a really cool piece of devices.
Patches for HK subscribers + JailBreak 1.1.4
Open Installer, select iClarified (might need to add source: http://installer.iclarified.com), and install AppSupport Patch(1.14) to fix the area code issues in call display (I always store phone number with area code).
The following tutorial shows how to share the EDGE connection with a laptop. I will try it some day.

iPhone 8GB (1.1.4)
Today I got Apple iPhone 8GB (firmware 1.1.4) as a gift. Although I prefer to wait for the iPhone 3G version with official Hong Kong software, the 1.1.4 is still a prefect gift. Otherwise, the next alternative might be a MacBook or MacBook Pro.
Is it time to play or time to do programming on iPhone?

Epson EPL-5900L on Leopard
It just NOT working! No! Not working at all. My Epson EPL-5900L is not printing.
Last year, I tried so hard just to make it work on my iMac (Ref: "Epson EPL-5900L on iMac). But after my iMac had upgraded to Leopard, it stops to work again. Every time it gives me this error:
I've tried the default printer driver which come with Leopard, tried an older one I used last time (v3.0) and a newer one from Epson's website (v4.0). After the computer sent the data to printer (it took over a minute), the green LED blinks and red LED is on. Computer shows "Unable to receive print data", "Turn off the printer and check all cable connections. Wait a few minutes, then turn on the printer and try printing again."
I connected the printer to my XP laptop. It has no problem at all. Printing is almost instantly. Sigh, I don't want to throw it away. I don't want to pay for a new one. Also, the printer can print another 6000+ pages (I still haven't finish the first 3000 page toner). What a waste!

APE file?
One evening when I looked into my hard disk, I found a file with an extension that I did not recognize. What is an APE file? Let's google it... Some kind of music format. So, I've two questions, "How Do I Play APE Files?" and "How to convert .ape files to .mp3 using OSX". That lead me to a software: Max.

Freeware of Graphics for Mac
When it comes to graphical works, most software are asking for a price that is over a home user's budget. Especially when we are just using one or two features for as few as couple of times, such as fix the device image in iSync, USD$29.99 is never our choice. Searching for the right and free-of-charge software is not easy. So, I put up some search results I had.
Image Tricks by BeLight Software. BeLight has more freeware offer that you might interested in.
GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) by GIMP. However, I cannot get GIMP working on Leopard. I've installed the latest version and when I try to do erasing on a layer to make it transparent, GIMP crashed.
LiveQuartz by Rhapsoft is my recommendation. The UI is much simpler than that of GIMP. It is easy to use and it is free. It allows me to fix the transparent icon without reading any documents or manual. Unlike GIMP which need X11, this one is native in the system. It is a must have for Mac users.
For those who miss the simplicity of Paint or Brush come with all Windows OS, Paintbrush is for you.

整合的威力
Mac OS自帶了Address Book和Mail並一堆常用的應用功能，所以Apple可以自誇它的電腦是即買即用，明顯Vista也在這個進程吧（是在努力地抄吧？）。但一直並沒有太在意各程式之間的整合相連性，直到最近把contact輸入Adress Book時才發現，Mail自動辨認電郵地址，並顯示已存的thumbnail，如遇上朋友的新地址（標籤裡會顯示電郵地址），可以control+click補充至已有的contact裡，而thumbnail亦會即時顯示出來。
原本打算cap幾張圖，不過為免肖像權之類問題，還是算了。

OS X Maintenance
Here is a few link about maintenance of OS X and Leopard's tips:
These are, sometimes, commonly quoted by Mac users on discussion group.
Note: Until now, iDefrag cannot run within Leopard. It will, however, work on Leopard harddisk IF and ONLY IF boot and run from the bootable CD/DVD created by Coriolis CDMaker. User will able to download a trimmed down version of Tiger, even their OS is Leopard.

Displaying Lyrics from iTunes
Note: this short tutorial only apply to Mac OS X.
Rumor said that iTunes 8 will support lyrics display during playback. But when will it be available and how will lyrics be displayed? Meanwhile, here is my quick solution to have your lyrics display on screen. And by the mean of "your lyrics", I mean not only the lyrics found by googling but also those already wrote into the files and those cannot be found by Utamap, MetroLyrics, Sing365.com or whatever database used by the lyrics application.
Requirement:
- Apple iTunes 7
- TunesTEXT
Some people recommended pearLyrics but I don't. Although it has both Widgets and standalone app version, it cannot read from my files and use my lyrics. Also, it search on every song, even the song is already searched for. Taking extra and unnecessary resource is a con, and not able to find/display lyrics for Asian songs is another con. So, I suggest TunesTEXT.
Installing and using TunesTEXT is extremely straight forward. So I don't bother write up a tutorial about it. You should also found no problem with English songs. If it found the missing lyrics for you, it will save for you automatically (if Perferences > Embed Lyrics in Music Files is checked). Otherwise, click on the "i", paste your own lyrics and click Save. You might notice a short delay in playback, depending on your ID3 tag has or not has enough space for your lyrics. Lyrics also appears in iTunes immediately. Here is a good database for Chinese songs: Sina Music. Yes, you need to search for every song manually. If you have any automatic solution, please let me know.
However, if you find using Dashboard troublesome, you should get Widgets Preference Pane. It allows you to move any Widgets onto your desktop (and then disable the Dashboard to save memory). I found their zip file corrupted so you might need to google another location to download. I'm using an old version: v1.0. Its file for Intel is claimed to be "untested". But I got no problems so far.

Double Backup
打從換MAC開始，就決定要減少硬盤、電腦的數目，尤其是使用過虛擬電腦後，更加認同只要一台電腦就足夠了；若需要Windows系統的話，就在MAC裡虛擬出來吧。故此，訂購這台iMac時已經補錢升級硬盤至500GB（當時主流還是160GB或少量250GB吧）。礙於我還初次接觸Mac OS，在資料轉移方面還是花了很長的時間，大概、一年有多了吧。其實是沒有那個閑去弄。其間把一大堆files周圍移動，而舊的P4電腦裡那250GB硬盤又要封存，即使還有一台250GB USB硬盤和一台250GB LAN硬盤，其實可用的空間還不是很多（就是嘛，明明加起多有1.25TB的，還是有點足襟見肘）。
趁著假期，終於把大部份的檔案都移到iMac裡，把P4的硬盤也改成USB硬盤之後，兩台USB硬盤都拿來做備份，一台跑iBackup，另一台跑Time Machine。其實會否有點過火呢？有點怕死的感覺。

No more Mac vs Windows
An article from the blog of Don McAllisters (founder of ScreenCasts Online) - "I’ve Given Up Arguing with Windows Users Too!". Hey, Don McAllisters, you are great! After switching to Mac...
* I enjoy using a computer again
* I don’t worry too much about virus and malware attacks (without being too blase)
* I don’t have any performance issues
* Mac software is plentiful, beautiful, well designed and incredibly inexpensive.
* There’s no problems sharing files with Windows users.
* I can run Windows if I really want too (but don’t)
I can't agree no more!
Running the latest Mac OS X (Leopard) on my 1 year old machine (C2D 2GHz, 2GB DDR2) is a lot of pleasure than with the latest Windows OS, which you get pressure. At least, no performance issue make you feel you are enjoying what you paid for (and won't hearing the computer screaming for hardware upgrade, which eventually will be more than purchasing a XP professional license).
Is there any disadvantage on Apple's computer? Yes. The Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse! They drain new battery within 3 months. And my keyboard just stop functioning in the middle of this post. Now, I've to use the compact, unfamiliar Logitech NetPlay Keyboard, which not give me typo but wrong action (such as suddenly deleted my text or do a forward delete when I try to press arrow-up key).
Buy Mac advice (if you prefer wireless):
1. go with the wired keyboard and mouse. this is the backup solution for your wireless kb ms. check out Logitech's wireless mouse and keyboard for Mac (approx. HK$650), OR try other cheaper PC keyboard and mouse but you less able to take advance of Mac's shortcut keys.
alternatively,
2. go with Apple's wireless keyboard and mouse. buy a lot of rechargeable battery and to be expect that they will die in 1 or 2 year. you won't able to fully drain the battery before you need to replace/recharge them.

Speech Toggle
Speech Command on Mac can be handy (or should I say handless?), sometime. I always use the command such as "Switch to iTunes", "Next", "Switch to Firefox", "Start screen saver" (I need to stress on the word "screen" to make this one work). But I found the Firefox are not responding to the command well. Anyway.
Since some might concern that turning on and off the Speech is troublesome on Mac (method 1, open System Preference and open Speech; method 2, use Spotlight and type Spe to get to Speech). So, some nice guy had wrote a little program and give us a handy shortcut to toggle the speech: Speech Toggle. For more details, please check out the product page.
Nevertheless, the Speech Recognition is not always fully working well, sometime, or you would like to customize more action for that 'stupid half-deaf Mac'. Then you'd like to read this: Hack Attack: Make your Mac's Speech Recognition work for you.
