First off, I have to give a big thanks to the folks over at MacHeist for giving me this great piece of software absolutely free. Thanks guys! Well, WriteRoom is a great little application for writing. It doesn't do anything fancy, it just produces either Rich Text or plain text format. It can save into many different formats, and can integrate well with Word. It provides a simple interface with absolutely no distractions. In fact, when the application is on, you can't even access the dock. It just won't show it. I find it great for writing just about anything, especially documents for school. I highly recommend this app.November 2009 Archives

However, more recently, I discovered a problem that really puts a damper on my Snow Leopard enthusiasm.
After installing Snow Leopard, I installed Adobe Master Collection CS4. Up until now, I haven't really had a reason to use Media Encoder at all. However, when I needed it, it failed on me. On my laptop, Media encoder refuses to boot. I don't know why, but it works fine in Leopard. I've heard about similar problems, but never not starting. I have reported this bug to Adobe, however I am not expecting any updated before the release of the next Creative Suite. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to use Final Cut Express instead of Premiere for a while.
All for Now!
This weekend, I used my point and shoot camera to take some picture on top of Bradbury Mountain in Maine. These picures were in a panorama, and I needed to stitch them. Who do I turn to? Well, Photoshop, of course! One click, and I had this.
