Question for Podcast #2

Well I got this question sent in and I can't really explain this and I can't really talk about it so best just to show you now.

Here is the question.

"Hey Tristan love the blog but wanted to know what your desktop looked like since your computer is the center of your creative outpost just wanted to get a feel for it.

Well okay I run Mac OS X Tiger and this is the view most of the time from my Powerbook on my 15'' Widescreen. As you can see not much exciting. I have Adium and iChat running that you can see. I have Mail, Address Book, Skype, iTunes and Safari all doing their thing. You can see gMailStatus running up top along with VPN for Remote Access to my Other Job. Then my Wireless 802.11G Signal and then SoundSource allowing me to select Inputs and Outputs for Audio and then Volume Control, Clock, Power, Bluetooth, and Spotlight.

One cool thing about iChat on Mac is that you can have it put up a message of what you are currently listening to in iTunes. PC users can't see this unless they install GAIM since AIM does not technically support the viewing of Active Status Messages. Also iChat Users get a Link that will take them to the iTunes Music store if that track is available for download.


But Tiger lets you have two Desktops as a thought along with your Dashboard. So here is what my Dashboard Looks like.



We got iTunes Controllers, Lyrics, Album Art Finder (In Case I don't already have it), Some Clocks and Weather, Virtual Sticky Note, Stocks, Dictionary, Calculator, My Blogging Tool, Calculator, Battery Life, Skype Widget, And Unit Converter are some of the major ones. I have lots installed I love this one called Cocktail use it to fiind out how to make drinks.

I was just looking up my new favorite Drink a Smith and Wesson.


But anyways there you go for all the people out there wanting to know.
