The times they are a changin'. From here on out, personal thoughts, ideas, and posts will land here at me.raddevon.com. My former blog is now devoted to tech, the Internet, and gaming. Check that out at raddevon.com.
I don’t have a lot of music in iTunes, but a lot of the music I have is not the easiest to automate lyrics downloads. There are a number of one-step automated solutions, but unless your collection is limited to Justin Timberlake, The Beatles, and Madonna, you may have trouble getting lyrics for all your songs. Even this method is imperfect, but it finds the most of anything I have tried.
I had an epiphany today while using my Mac. I have a 13″ Macbook which gives me a widescreen aspect ratio with 1280×800 resolution. I have always had my dock in the default position until I realized something. Between the OSX menu bar, my Firefox titlebar, toolbar, and bookmark toolbar, I have virtually no vertical space to work with. It suddenly occured to me that I should move my dock to the side! I started on the left, but that was too visually distracting. I now have my dock on the right. I have gained about 20% of my vertical space. Who needs 1280 horizontal pixels for browsing? Not me.
I just purchased my first Mac a few weeks ago after approximately 15 years as a staunch PC user. I wanted a small laptop and didn’t care about gaming on the go. I was admittedly seduced by curiosity (not to mention that damn glowing Apple logo- Curse you vile temptress!). Here I am, not even two months into this crazy experiment and already with some startling results; the most startling is that I whole-heartedly prefer and would recommend a Mac to any computer user except a gamer.
