I have it on fluo as well. I have CFL in my studio/office, I don't know if that's supposed to emit like an incandescent or like a fluorescent, but this seemed the most sensible.
I'll see how things are tomorrow as well...I haven't calibrated my monitor in a year it seems.

when I switch to preview daylight in Flux, it seems super blue. I don't know if that's just in comparison to the warmer temp Flux has it at, or if it's messing with my calibration.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 17 February 2011 01:30 (thirteen years ago) link
no, daylight/"disable for an hour" is the same as if you quit flux, i.e. your default calibration.
it looks so blue because you've been looking at orange. lol human brain.

i think, anyway.
flux just decided it was past sunset. i expected something a little more ... gradual.

flux is some good stuff! i always thought this iMac screen was too bright even on the lowest setting at night

I love Flux, thanks! It would be great if it worked with the MBP's built in light level sensor.

is there any way to handle single track mixes showing individual track names? Figure if you could tell a program what is playing at what time during a track, it'd be possible.
― bnw, Tuesday, 22 February 2011 16:15 (thirteen years ago) link
You can do this with podcasts, and there's some utility where you can get add it to the ID3v2 tag, but I don't know what players actually support that...

you used to be able to send faxes free for a trial period but that seems not to be the case any more.

anyone know a program which can automate the slicing up of pdfs for kindle consumption? Ie. to turn double page scans into single page. It seems like such a thing should exist... but does it?

oops found one already, for anyone else's reference there's Briss which seems to work a treat

How is that different than Acrobat?
And why did they have to call it that?
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 2 March 2011 17:02 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah gross eh
it's free, I only need to do this one task with pdfs ever, and it seems to have a good system - it superimposes all the pages in the doc, so you can draw crop boxes that include everything.

testing out Total Finder right now:
http://totalfinder.binaryage.com/
Adds tabs to your finder windows. I'm already addicted to SizeUp for window management. This may be the next step. I mostly hate spaces, only use it occasionally. This seems like a better way to keep many different things open and organized without using Spaces. It also has Dual Mode, a single window with two finder browsers in it, and a bunch of other hoonja-doonjas. I think most people think this is inferior to Pathfinder, but I found Pathfinder annoying. This is such a minor tweak, aesthetically and workflow wise, that can make a big difference, instead of Pathfinders whole application based method of browsing with sidebars and all kinds of nonsense.

I like Reeder on my iphone, but always just go back to Google Reader on the mac. There's some new extension that makes it look pretty but I kept forgetting which icon meant "mark all as read" so I went back to google.

There's also Gruml (free). I used it a lot last year – there were some trivial bugs and it lacked a couple of features but it's had a few updates since then. As with Reeder you need a Google Reader account.

I don't have a need for Anki (Pleco does the job on my iphone and ipad) but it really is great. Best thing is the huge variety of free flashcard packs all over the web.
Spaces is too stupid now, I gave up on it. Most of my apps are just in full screen mode now.
