Photos and TELEPORT!

whee! photos! from the trip to pungol some time… last last week?

haha, using this wonderful app called Teleport that lets me control two macs from the same mouse/keyboard, (the screens are still separate though, so you'll have to place the other comp within view) and lets you copy files from one comp to the other with ease! Its completely free (donations are more than welcome as usual, go check out the developer site) so if you have more than 1 mac in your house, do try it out… its quite fun XD

What it does is basically add in an option in your system preference pane…

basically you can attach the screen of the other comp(s) next to your computer… like this (both computers must have the activate teleport option turned on):

so when you mouse over to the edge of your screen where the other comp is attached… bravo! your keyboard and mouse are now controlling the other comp! you can drag files from one screen over to the other… works very well… seems to be faster than airdrop imo o.o didn’t do a speed test tho… well i can… but i'm feeling a little lazy now XD but its much more convenient than using airdrop if you've got both comps side by side and want to select a bunch of files/pics to xfer over. You can xfer multiple files at once too… when i tried out airdrop the last time, if one file is already being sent, you can't send another… so that was how i transferred the following pics from my dad's iPhoto over to my desktop… (i still had to ask iPhoto to reveal the file in finder before i dragged the pictures i wanted over to my desktop)

oh yeah… the settings available in Teleport...

ok, that's all for now! XD

shd be going msia tmr… to the new johor premium outlet… dad finally got himself a garmin car navi today (for use tmr)… but he aint too happy act it… screen resolution is poor… software is very user friendly… and the map doesn’t display the blocks and buildings! something which his old htc handphone version of the app has… :S ew… :(
