One True Media and TiVo

Paul Westbrook | 04 April, 2007 21:09

I just tried the One True Media service.  One True Media lets you create and share videos from your photos or videos.  You can then share these videos in several ways:

  • html code to embed flash player on various sites
  • Share via email
  • Create a link to the video hosted on One True Media site
  • Send to a mobile phone
  • Share to a TiVo Channel

The last one is what I am interested in.  We have been sharing our videos with our family by either burning them on DVD or posting a copy on the web.  Sending the video to family members who have TiVo DVRs is a great way to share family videos.

LineIn

Paul Westbrook | 04 April, 2007 02:40

Linein When I am at work, I usually wear headphones connected to my laptop, so I can listen to music or podcasts while also being able to hear instant messenger notifications.  But, sometimes, I want to listen to music on my portable music player.

Previously, this would mean that I wouldn't be able to hear instant message notifications, since the headphones would be connected to the player and not my computer.

LineIn is a free utility that lets me listen to my portable player, and computer audio.  What it does is let you configure that the audio on any input gets mixed an audio output

Google Desktop for Mac

Paul Westbrook | 04 April, 2007 02:04

Google just released Google Desktop for Mac.  This adds searching and indexing of:

  • PDF, TXT and HTML files
  • email for Apple Mail and Microsoft Entourage
  • iChat chats
  • Word, Excel, PowerPoint files
  • Address Book contacts

Spotlight also supports searching these thing, but Google Desktop also search the text of web pages that you have visited.  Also, you can search text in older versions of your document, even if they have been deleted.

I have installed it and it is working well, though the index hasn't completed yet.
