Mac OSX Tip: Tab through dialogue buttons!
June 2nd, 2010 by Owen | No Comments | Filed in Random, TweetsHey
The one single “bug” on Mac OS X by far is the ability to switch buttons in dialog boxes. For example I mean using Tab to go between OK, Cancel, Don’t Save etc. For a long while until today I had just got used to using the mouse. Although you can use some shortcut keys for Save, but these aren’t always reliable. Windows has the ability to tab through button options. Why not Mac? Well you can and it is blindingly obvious.
To enable you to tab through dialog boxes go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Shrotcuts. At the very bottom there will be an option saying about full keyboard access. Check the radio button that says “All Controls”.
Now when you find a dialog box (a new file in TextEdit is quickest), when you hit tab you will be able to move through the dialog box options. Very neat. As the option at the bottom states if you hit Control + F7 you will be able to change this setting, although I doubt would have to.
Only a simple tip today. But one that has bugged my for over two years. The simple tips are sometimes the best.
Thanks Mac Tips and Tricks!

35 Extremely Funny Graphs and Charts
May 31st, 2010 by theDot | No Comments | Filed in RandomWho could have ever thought that charts and graphs might have anything to do with fun?
At least not until creative Cheezburger guys launched a project called GraphJam few years ago.
GraphJam.com explains daily life, music, songs and pop culture in charts and graphs. Readers can even submit their own graphs based on their own experiences and observations.
According to its founders, GraphJam is the unholy love child of bored office workers, music and pop culture. The mash-up of graphs and music did not originate here, but their inspiration came from their friends at JamPhat.
Others say that GraphJam also might want to attribute the Something Awful forums, who did this originally (and from which some of the JamPhat images were taken).
No matter what, you’ll definitely laugh out loud at these 35 funniest graphs from GraphJam.

Photographers Rights in the UK
April 30th, 2010 by Owen | No Comments | Filed in RandomPhotographers Rights In The UK
Here in the UK, there’s been a recent spate of harassment and even arrests of innocent photographers by police invoking anti-terrorism laws.
So we’ve compiled an easy-to-read wallet-sized infosheet of photographer legal rights here in the UK (PDF). It’s designed by David McCandless and Joe Swainson. The information is sourced directly from the UK Metropolitan Police and distilled from other bust cards out there.
Download and print the PDF, cut it out and stick it in your wallet or purse. If you’re stopped by police for taking photos, whip out the sheet and instantly check your rights.
Of course, it’s never a good plan to antagonise the politzei. We hear they’re particularly unimpressed by having ‘infosheets’ waved in their faces. If you are stopped for suspicious photography, a good response is usually something like:
“I’m an amateur photographer taking pictures for fun. Would you like to see them officer?”
NOTE: Note Saturday 23rd Jan 2010, there’s a Mass Photo Gathering in Trafalgar Square in London 12 Noon to protest photographers rights. It’s organized by PhotographerNotATerrorist.org
