Blackmagic Disk Speed Test showing slower results
We have been installing a new Xsan system the latest days (more about that in a later post). When testing the performance we use two different tools, and they have very different results, 186 MB/second vs 136 MB/second. The first one is Xsan tuner, that comes with Xsan: Speed is calculated to 186 MB/second. We [...]
Grab all pictures from a site
DeepVacuum let you grab all pictures from a site. Or all movies. Or entire pages, all of them or a few. Could this be what you were looking for, Lars?
Go bananas with your selfportrait
It’s friday. Kick up your feet, fire up Photoshop and go crazy with your selfportraits. Don’t show your kids. They’ll have bad dreams.
Multitouch will revolutionize your computer
Giles Turnbull at O’Reilly has a short update om Jeff Han, who makes the amazing multitouch interface. Jeff has founded the Perceptivepixel company. The website is just a front page (with lamp graphics in multitouch) and not much else. O’Reilly also has this video that shows how much cooler multitouch has become in just a [...]
Why does Gates worry?
Interesting thoughts from ITWire: Well if Gates believes that Apple’s claims about Vista and Macintosh are a pack of lies he obviously thinks that they’re powerful lies because he appears worried.

In a (quite unusual) post on Apple.com, named “Thoughts on music”, he shares his thoughts on DRM and the music industry. Like the fact that 90% of all music sold is infact without DRM. It’s [...]
GTD app: Ghost Action
The race for the best Mac GTD app is still on! A new app is in the race: Ghost Action. (Ghost Action screenshot. The app looks slightly different than this screenshot, as I use Uno). I still have big hopes for OmniFocus, but Ghost Action looks clean and simple, and very similar to Actiontastic. It [...]
Bill Gates losing it
I’m admiring Bill Gates for his new project, Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Rich people everywhere should learn from him: Give away all (or most of) your money. But I seriously think Bill should leave Microsoft now. Why wait until July 2008? Now he’s just making a fool of himself. This is what he told [...]
Aperture to Final Cut Pro
I love it when someone solves a problem, just before I need it solved! This happened yesterday. Eirik and I have been looking for the ultimate photo archive solution. I have been using iPhoto since getting my first digital camera some years ago. iPhoto is a great product but has been missing some more advanced [...]
