A remote clicker for presentations on ur macbook

now, in NUS we will all have presentations at some point. dun u ever wish u had a clicker to navigate through ur pdfs, docs or powerpoint presentations? one great way is to use a wireless or bluetooth mouse. However, for those not wanting to look awkard with a mouse on your hand, do give the apple remote a try. its comes with 2007macbook/pros and before, but not the 2008 ones , so u guys may wanna check out the apple store for them. It costs 34bucks, and its well worth the money are u are a couch potato or do give frequent presentations.

 

by default, the clicker is used for navigating around front row , changing tracks on itunes, and changing universal volume. navigating through the slides of powerpoint works too, but thats all u get. By purchasing the software listed below, you can actually get the remote to do a lot more stuff, like using it as a virtual mouse, navigating through any application and more. do give them a try:

 

• Mira
• Sofacontrol

 

do check out this site also for more interesting uses of the remote, cheers!

Beyond the Front Row with the Apple Remote

Organising all your pdfs, word documents and ppt on mac

one way is to have folders for them. but how about considering these great software? do give them a try… who knows might change the way u organise stuff forever.

• Together
• Yojimbo
• Bento

Personally i kinda preferred Yojimbo… trying it out for a month and see how it goes… it has these drawer thinggy at the side which u can drag and drop ur pdfs into folders tat u can organised like, “MA1505, 1431″ and stuff like this. easier that allocating them into specific folders which i used to do.

Running a C compiler in crossover

hey if u guys managed to download crossover over the lame duck challenge previously, do take note tat the C compiler designed for windows happens to run well on it. great news for all mac users doing C programming.

Grapher in mac

i am taking 1505 this semester, and the topic on Surface integrals with all the stokes’ theorem is really killing me. one program tat helps me draw 2d and 3d graphs is a program called grapher ( spotlight it). its really useful for visualising stuff.
