![]() XtraFinder is a simple application that has powerful features. The app is the most ascetic and does not contain anything superfluous: no buttons, except for the standard Share menu and directory tree. So, assuming that you really didn't change the menubar icon's appearance, Russell, I again appeal to you to consider doing so, so that older folks like me aren't confused by the similarities between the Xmenu and DesktopUtility icons. Path Finder is another excellent file manager app for Mac. CRAX provides many of functionalities you need to quickly and effectively access and manage your local and remote files. It is integrated with Subversion 1.6 and it has built-in FTP, SSH client functionality. TotalFinder is a plugin for Finder.app which adds tabs like those in Google Chrome, dual panels similar to TotalCommander, and other improvements. The only thing I haven't tried is rebooting my entire machine, which I can't do right now because it would interrupt all of my web services and other Internet-related things that I run. CRAX Commander is dual-pane file manager with approachable user interface. In order to check whether System Integrity Protection (SIP) is enabled or disabled on a Mac running OS X El Capitan, you can use the csrutil command to report on SIP’s current status. Another remarkable feature is the ability to quickly copy and move files. The best features of this tool are a simple toolbar menu, contextual menu, show hidden items, create a link, hide desktop, and more. Nevertheless, when I relaunched DesktopUtility, it is still the same black menubar icon. XtraFinder is yet another robust file manager for macOS that can overcome all Finder shortcomings. ![]() Added XtraFinderLoader, mand, mand and updated instruction for OS X 10.15 Catalina. When that didn't work, I shut down 2.2, and then deleted every file and folder that was related to it in my Home/Library folder, and made sure to empty the trash. Added Alternating row colors for Column View. I made sure to shut down DesktopUtility first, before I installed the new version. It looks kind of like a black flower with a white center. While the Finder icon is indeed new, the menubar icon remains the same. This app automatically alters the amount of blue light on your monitor so it doesnt affect your sleep cycle. When I first saw "New brighter icon" under the "What's New" section for 2.2, a smile came across my face, and I thought to myself "Ha! Maybe Russell listened to reason after all and changed DesktopUtility's menubar icon so that it doesn't look so similar to Xmenu's menubar icon.Īlas, I was mistaken. ![]() ![]() I'm very proud you are doing great, keep up the good work. Ate Jamie, you have shown excellence in your class for the past years. That I do love you and I would make most of the time when we would be together. I may not have all the time in the world to be with you always, but I would assure you. To my kids, Ate Jamie, Kuya JM and Julio: you have been my inspiration on everything that I do. I miss your family most especially the kids. I will never forget those happy moments with you and I appreciate you chose to play with me. Tex, papagayo, baril-barilan, lastiko, and every toy we shared together. You're my playmate when we were small ones. KUYA: you have been the silent and deep yet truly articulate within. Our journey through life during happy and sad times will always be in my heart. To my siblings, ATE: you have been so loving and caring to me every time. That is what I will cherish the most and will never forget it till the day I die. Though I may not be the perfect son, I know you have loved me and supported me all the way. To my parents, thanks for bringing me up the way you did. I am very grateful being a LUISTRO (and MAGSOMBOL too!) I cannot recollect every moment we spent jointly but one thing's for sure: we had the pleasure of living beyond being relatives. To my relatives, my cousins, tito's and tita's, lolo's and lola's: we have celebrated life together, enjoyed chatting 'personally'. To the Archos boys, let's play counterstrike one more time! :) POSDev, POS Support, CSG, RQA, other support teams that I have interacted with, thanks for molding me to what I am today. And those were the times I cherish the most. Despite of the downtimes, there has been a lot of good times. To my Safeway (and Archos) peers, my work has been my second home. Pareng Toti, Pareng Mel, Pareng Topher, Mareng Jessica, and the gang, keep the fire burning. You're not just SMT choir, you're the extension of my family. Though I am 'inactive' at this point, my heart and spirit is always with you. To SMT Choir, you have been instrumental in my love of music and service to God. Since this would be my first time to blog, allow me to thank the people who made my life so wonderful.

Here are some quotable quotes from Jaworski's Jersey retirement: I have been active in Twitter for the past few weeks (and I haven't updated this blog for more than a year now) so I decided to post the tweets I liked the most - whether it made sense or not. School Teachers - Mam Julia Mercado, Mam Angelina Vergara, Mam Erlinda Ilagan, Mam Luzviminda Montenegro, Mam Rodriguez, Mam de Claro, Mam Orlina, Sir De Castro, Sir Mendoza, Mam Bernardina Cuasay, Mam Rosario (Aying), Mam Zenaida Marasigan, Mam Adalia Cuasay, Sir Javenia, Sir Buzeta. Some random persons - Papong, (Tita) Fideng, Nognog, Geng gengĬ. Childhood playmates - Noriel, Dada, Jeremy, Ticong, Joe, Morris, Junjun (Calalo),ī. I also once joined my cousin Boyet in gathering some mangoes missed after " putehan" ( Pute - native word of harvesting mangoes). The most memorable pigeon was the first pair of native pigeons we bought - at one point I believe they returned back but they don't have their cage anymore (aww, sad). We also had a lot of pigeons (kalapati) before. Usually played (saranggola, baril barilan) and watched TV with my Kuya.į. Also saw Isabel Granada perform live in person for the first time (hopefully not the last, hehe).Į. Was able to witness campaign rally of Cory Aquino and Doy Laurel in our hometown. Once punctured my seatmate (Condrei Cabrera) at his palm using a pencil.ĭ. Received vaccination (sis said it was a BCG), ate bulgur (govt feeding program) at school.Ĭ. Once skipped school and went home kasi wala yung teacher namin. ( Grade 1 ata).ī. These are some random memories in my life that I would be updating from time to time.Ī. ![]() ![]() You can buy SFX on-demand for $5 a track, or get a subscription with unlimited downloads starting at just $19/mo. Right now, this service has thousands upon thousands of royalty-free stock music tracks and SFX files, in a wide frequency range, all ready to download and edit into your project. Shutterstock Music is the music and sound effects division of the leading stock media agency Shutterstock. Now you know the secrets and reasons to use sound effects in your productions, let us recommend you a few sites to download high-quality SFX at the most convenient prices. In a stock audio library, you can find lots of sounds with different tones and effects, to use this way. In both cases, it’s almost impossible for a regular viewer to hear the sound and not associate it with the channel and the series they belong to. For example, the news broadcaster NBC has a signature three-note sound that accompanies its logo, and the Law & Order TV franchise is well-known for its “chung-chung”, gong-like transitions sound effect, that accompanies a black screen with descriptive text. It’s an old trick, extensively used across marketing and advertising, as well as TV productions. For example, an audio effect that accompanies key information on the screen. ![]() In presentations, pitches, ads, or other corporate or marketing videos, you can bring bullet points to life by using attention-grabbing sounds, particularly those with an electronic effect such as buzzers for negative or wrong information, or perky “clink!” noises for positive or correct data.Īnother good trick is to use sounds in connection with visuals you want people to remember. Using specific sounds, you can highlight moments or elements in your video that you want to make sure viewers pay attention to. A sudden dog bark in the middle of the night tells spectators a lot about what is happening and what might happen in the story ahead an echo effect for a voice we just heard gives the idea of a large but enclosed space abstract sounds that evoke movement –think of those “swoosh” effects– accompanying a fast-moving camera scene will enforce the notion of speed, rush, or urgency. In film production, auditory transitions are very common it consists in combining visual transitions with sound effects to take the audience from one scene to the next without losing their attention.īeyond old-school tricks, adding sound effects can really modify and highlight the visual narration in the same way that visual effects do. Sound is also a powerful narrative resource, in more than one way. The low murmur of people talking in a busy store, footsteps that match the steps of people walking, the sound of water being poured into a glass as someone does precisely that on screen, all those small noises and sounds create an authentic audiovisual experience. ![]() They can be used in apps like TextEdit, Safari, Keynote and Pages and as I have just found out the latest version of Photoshop CC 2017. Colour fonts on the MacĮvery native app since 10.7 supports Apple color bitmap fonts. ![]() Seems like people are starting to push the technology forward. I already found that Typekit are offering color fonts. Meaning we all get full support for both Mac and PC regardless of what application you are using.The good news is things are evolving quickly. The hope is this will standardise the use of color fonts. The key players are working on OpenType SVG. Some apps support it, some don't.But wait. Different operating systems are using different color formats, and the same applies to your applications. It's just that Apple and Google went down one road and Microsoft went down another-typical.The result is two different implementations and thus support is not fully widespread. The technology has actually been around for a while. When the hell did that happen?This could be a game changer. Yeah but only a single flat color.How about a color bitmap font with millions of colors with texture or whatever you want.Your reaction should be Holy shit. I quickly realised that the photoshop extension won't just create a regular font, no sir.It will create a full color bitmap font.You will think color font? I can already do that. No more copy, paste, copy paste.I thought this new photoshop extension sounded interesting, I was intrigued-let's take a look-see. It really helps speed up my workflow when creating fonts in illustrator. It makes creating color bitmap fonts in photoshop a breeze.I've been using fontself maker for illustrator for a while now. Funny that as I was asked by the fontself team if I would be interested in trying out their new fontself photoshop extension. Make your plugin more accessible to a wide range of typographers, graphic designers, & co.What do I think of color bitmap fonts? Never even gave it a thought. More and more users are demanding an alternative for Linux or Android… So far, the companies always argue with “too low user numbers in X or Y operating systems”, but neglect the large number of users willing to switch. You only need to look in the forums of various (creative) apps. Just wanted to point out, because just in these times, in which companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, increasingly invade the privacy of people and disregard them, more and more people long (just also noticeable since the corona pandemic) for alternatives. You are not obligated to do anything and it is also your right to have your own roadmap. Who knows if Adobe will go so far as to contractually obligate developers of plugins to develop them exclusively for Adobe (or parts thereof). Many software companies and developers have often made this mistake in the past, and were sherlocked by Apple, for example. This would also make you more independent from software giants. It’s neither a commitment nor a rejection, but here I would also encourage you for economic reasons to think about developing a cross-platform standalone version from your plugin. I know the common answer is “no plans yet, but never say never”. All those extra, super-duper, precision tools for finishing touches are not needed and can be added later as soon as the user base has reached its certain size.Īnd even if the standalone version absolutely needs PS and AI files to work with in the beginning, at least that would be a start as well, since apps like Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo can export their files to. Just good enough to create and export high quality (+color) fonts and styles. There are apps like FontForge, but let’s be honest, hardly anyone uses that and it looks like it belongs back in the 2000s.Ī FontSelf standalone version would be great and it doesn’t have to compete with the big commercial counterparts. There is no real cross-platform alternative. Of course, as long as the company behind the Affinity Apps does not share any kind of API for 3rd Party Plugins developers, there won’t be a Fontself Plugin for Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo.īut a standalone Version of FontSelf would be really great and also a viable alternative to Font making apps like Fontlab or glyphsapp who are either very expensive, bloated with too many functions or or are only available for 1 or maximum 2 platforms. I cancelled the whole Adobe Suite last year and now I’m left with a plugin I can’t use anymore. ![]() Tested on vWii emuNand with USBLoaderGX r1260 On cIOS d2x 10 rev52 & cIOS d2x 10-alt rev53, the WiiU freeze on game begining (after enter the name) but if restarted it work.
