EverNote 2.2The following was submitted for posting by a regular JLog reader. It addresses compatibility issues with the EverNote 2.2 clipper button. The purpose of the workaround is to be able to paste directly to EverNote as was possible in earlier browser versions.

I haven’t tried it yet. Please report back if you do. I have installed click.to and it looks simple enough to work with. Even if you’re not interested in EverNote 2.2click.to is a fascinating and useful tool. …[continued]

So are you done taking inventory? Writing about it has helped to focus me in getting to the parts that were/are stuck. As I’ve made changes I’ve also changed my post about taking inventory so if you’re trying to follow that exactly, and I’m sure you’re not, it’s been updated several times. …[continued]

Under File on the menu is an option called Import Wizard. What this does is import individual files if they’re text, html or images. This can be done once or set for Auto-Import on a continual basis. …[continued]

XnViewAwhile ago I was talking about Opanda IExif Viewer and how handy it is as a quick metadata and GPS viewer. I’m not so thrilled anymore since I’ve discovered it doesn’t work on all my jpg’s, just some of them. I’m past having patience for half-assed IPTC software. ExifToolGUI works, Photo Mechanic works, XnView works. Software that can’t keep up should get out of the game and stop being so irritating. …[continued]

New Year’s 2010

12-30-2009

This is my New Year’s present to myself, a humongous pile of paper and 4 brand-new two and a half inch binders. A bystander at the cash register agreed that anything larger will break my wrists. When was the last time I had a Christmas that didn’t involve genealogy? I can’t remember.

The other day I was looking for an old vaccination certificate so I could get the address of where I lived when I was 11 years old to add to some old photos. When I was returning the box (where I did not find what I was looking for) to the shelf, the bottom fell out of it and a cascade of compressed paper splashed to the floor leaving me stunned. I’m used to computers where there’s a Back button, an Undo option, a keyboard shortcut for it and of course, our favorite – Delete. I stood there for a full minute trying to decide which of those buttons would solve my sudden dilemma. None of them. Welcome to Earth & Gravity. …[continued]
