A Coders Font

Anonymous Pro Free Font from Mark Simonson Studio

Anonymous Pro Free Font from Mark Simonson Studio

While surfing around today checking out an ARS article on the demise of the Monaco font I discovered this very readable and clean OS X and Windows font.  The font, Anonymous Pro is a free download and can be grabbed at here: Anonymous Pro.

The download contains 4 variations of the font.  You will notice that it is very easy to work with courtesy of the differentiation of the O and 0, 1 and l so on.  Check it out.

Doing more with… Easy screen capture for your iPhone/iPod Touch

Posted by admin  Published in Computing Tips, Mac OS X

A picture is worth a thousand words…

If you have ever felt like showing someone how cool that new app looks or needed to send your resident Mac Geek a picture of what’s “broken” Apple included the feature with your device.

The next time the need arises simply press the Home and Power buttons down together. Your screen will blink and voilà a shiny screencap in your Pictures.

From pictures you can email your photo or set as a wallpaper.

Until next time…
Cheers

A quick update – Things to come

Posted by Bryan  Published in Linux, Mac OS X, Tutorials, Windows

opensshHi All,

It feels like forever since my last proper post.  In my own response to the self-loathing that has been developing due to this blog’s inactivity I have decided to write a series of entries.  Yes, a series…

I will be writing about all the fun and joviality that can be had with SSH.  Well maybe not joviality and fun… more a sense of adventure and accomplishment… well alright… accomplishment :P

In these pages I will be documenting how to use, exploit and administer OpenSSH.  If I am lucky I am hoping some of you commercial vendors might give me a copy to test with (wink wink).  Beginning with creative tunneling and ending with secure remote file transfer I hope to pass along some of the time saving techniques I have learned in my years on the (battle)field.

If there are any particular pieces you would like included please feel free to drop your request in the comments.

Cheers

Working with Pages ‘09 – iWork

Posted by Bryan  Published in Mac OS X, Software

My first requirement for iWork and come and gone. Over the weekend my Son was attending a birthday party and wanted to have something to give to his friend since his actual present won’t be released until March 21st.

I must admit that I was a little concerned as we had a whopping 15 minutes to come up with a design and phrase it to everyone’s satisfaction… Oh before I go on, this was the first time that I had started or used pages as well…

After sitting down in front of my Mac I decided that it could be spelled out best in a certificate. So off to start pages and create a landscape document.
