Quicksilver — LoveQuicksilver Blog: Browse Photo Stream from Quicksilver -

lovequicksilver:

The Iconmaster has posted a great way to view iOS screenshots in Photo Stream using Finder. To view photos instead, simply change the search string from ‘png’ to ‘jpg’.

Some basic things about growlnotify -

(This is also a test of this recipe from ifttt - Tumblr to Dropbox).

An alternative way to search your Tumblr posts with help of ifttt

Here is a tip how to search for your posts on Tumblr in Evernote.

My first intention was to make a backup of my Tumblr posts in Evernote. I realized now that this backup gives even more options what you can make with this backup.

I’m a Mac user so this short howto assumes that you are also a Mac user (I think this howto will also work on other platforms with some exception).

First, download the Evernote app from the Mac App Store. Create an Evernote account (I assume that you already a Tumblr account). Then create an ifttt account. After that create a new task based on this recipe which will backup every Tumblr post to Evernote (please note that when you create this task ifttt will ask you to login into Tumblr and Evernote).

Don’t forget to activate the new task. Now when you make a new post on Tumblr ifttt will it backup to Evernote.

And now the tip. When ifttt makes a backup of your every post it tags with the tag “Tumblr” in Evernote. If you go to the Evernote app there will be a “Tumblr” tag under “Notebooks” on the left side. Click on the “Tumblr” tag and you can search now every Tumblr post (please note that ifttt backups only the post that were made after you activated the Tumblr to Evernote task on ifttt). With this tip it is easier to search your Tumblr post instead of going to Tumblr and searching through all your posts.

What to do with your pop-up flash

Here is the thing: you own a DSLR that has a pop-up flash.

Is that a good flash? For a quick answer, probably not.

But where this flash is good at, is fill flash. Try it. Your are in the sun and your subject’s face is in shadow. Now pop up your flash on your DSLR and make a picture.

I hope the face is nicely exposed.

Growl fork

If you like Growl and want to use the “old” version (not that from the Mac App Store), you can download the fork version of Growl.

I had some issues with the version from Mac App Store with growlnotify. With the fork version the issues are gone and growlnotify works just fine.
