Nice one. Due to the wonders of cross regional play, if you want to play with your cousin Paul, I have a USA SC2 account with Flump.690. Alternatively, switch region to EU and realID me at paul.fairbairn@gmail.com – glhfgg

Comment on My Morning as a Pin Cushion at OHSU by stuartthompson

Sennheisers are great. I use HD 202s at work and HD 280 pros for gaming.
As for earbuds I use the Apple earphones that came with my iPhone.

I haven’t looked in to Sennheisers not to mention am trying to find new earbuds.

Comment on Far Cry 3 by Dewey S. Lovett

I agree that Citra is a very interesting character yet I didn’t feel that “emotional” aspect of her connection to her brother. I think there should be a solid story, a flashback perhaps, that would further explain Vaas reasons of going into the other side of the fence. However, Far Cry 3 is one of the best games of 2012 and here’s some quick tips for the gamers: http://www.cheatmasters.com/cheats/37799/Far_Cry_3_cheats.html

Comment on Take note! With the iPad and Notability by stuartthompson

I don’t believe that there is a version available for the MacBook. I use Evernote primarily on my Mac. You can add audio files to notes in Evernote. Hope that helps!

Is there a version of Notability available for the MacBook? I’m less interested in the hand-written feature and more in linking my typed notes to a lecture I’m recording.

This is the second time in just five miuntes that I’ve seen this particular viewer being used for flickr favorites. How do I find such utility? Lovely favourites by the by.Chris T.’s last blog post..

Comment on US Bank Customer Service Failure by Barb

Barb — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 16:25:17 +0000

Very interesting.

By contrast, my husband and I (we’re from Colorado) and were traveling in California. We made a $23.51 purchase at a store on our debit card and it went through for $2,351.00. It kicked in an overdraft protection on our credit card, and we didn’t know about it until we checked online banking a couple of days later. The merchant corrected the problem with a refund, and we returned the funds to our credit card. US Bank returned the OD fees. We are VERY old customers of US Bank and their predecessors. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Picasa web albums photo app works well along with wp picasa album plugin. I’ m sure there is a better way.

I’m afraid I haven’t found any good cross-posting tools yet. I typically use the SmugMug mobile app to upload photos to SM, and then HootSuite to post to FaceBook and Twitter simultaneously. For WordPress I have been embedding images from SmugMug via URL to keep SmugMug as the system of record for photographs.

Please do let me know what you find. I’m always on the hunt for new tools!

Any recommendations for an iPad/iPhone app that easily posts your photos and videos simultaneously to a Wp gallery, FB, LinkedIn, twitter, etc?

Comment on One Month on the Paleo Diet by stuartthompson

stuartthompson — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:44:07 +0000

Still following it. Have now been successful for three and a half months. http://blog.stuartthompson.net/2012/05/paleo-diet-phase-two/ Find it easy to order alternatives at almost any restaurant (fast food joints excluded) and our friends have been extremely supportive; they don't get offended if I bring a ziploc bag of fruits and vegetables or something pre-made. Two have started following a modified version themselves.

Comment on Take note! With the iPad and Notability by stuartthompson

stuartthompson — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 17:22:03 +0000

Unfortunately for right now you have to export the notes as images if you want them to be searchable by Evernote. It’s a huge blind-spot in their tech stack for some reason. You can search hand-writing in images, or text in PDF but not the handwriting in images in PDFs. I’m sure there must be some reason why this was complicated for them to do but it would be a huge value add if they could figure it out.

So far I’ve figured out the following:
* Either export the hand-written notes as images and store those in Evernote (urgh)
* Export as PDF and add a list of keywords manually at the top of the note (my current solution)
* Use a lot of tags when exporting the notes (i.e. add #tag1 #tag2 on the email subject line)

Really hope they add the ability to search inside images in PDFs soon. That would be the complete solution.

How did you get Evernote to do handwriting recognition on PDF Documents? Their support site claims it only works on JPEGs. I have fallen hard for Notability but without the ability to search handwritten notes it’s of limited use to me, and so far your workaround isn’t working for me. Any tips you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for posting about this!

Comment on Import Folders in Evernote by Stuart Thompson

Stuart Thompson — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:22:13 +0000

Unfortunately they haven’t implemented this for the Mac client yet, although there have been other requests for the functionality:

Updated the post here to reflect that this is Windows-only functionality.

I don’t see “Tools” in my Evernote client(mac), unless you were talking about windows version?

Comment on SFxT: Canceling into a Special by stuartthompson

stuartthompson — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 15:19:49 +0000

Thanks Johnny!
Glad this post was useful. The fight systems are definitely quite different. I’m going to be very lost when Tekken x SF comes out. There are enough things different in SFxT that I’m still not quite sure how I sometimes pull off some links and sometimes not. Excellent game though, and a great addition to the franchise.

Cheers!

Comment on SFxT: Canceling into a Special by Johnny Christensen

Hey Stu. Just wanted to leave a comment saying thanks for putting this up. Being a Tekken-player I’m fairly new to the SF4-system as well as being new to using a stick (finally got my eightarc!), so I’ve been doing a lot of trials to get my fundementals in order. Yesterday I noticed that I usually got stuck around the same kind of trials. The ones where you had to perform one or two normals followed into a qcb/hcb-move. My experience of it is, as you describe, that sometimes the special comes out and sometimes it doesn’t. When it does come out it’ll most likely get blocked because it’s late. I haven’t tried your input-suggestion yet, but I’m sure it will come to great use as I’ve found myself on more than once occasion frantically trying to make that last qcb/qcf-move on my stick before the normal-animation had finishes. Anyway, I thought since nobody else had commented, I would be the first to say I found your blog helpful :)

Comment on US Bank Customer Service Failure by stuartthompson

It certainly wouldn’t be the first time. :)

However, I do find I have a much better customer experience if institutions try to make amends rather than blaming you for their mistakes. This isn’t the first time US Bank have done this too us either. Hopefully the last though. Feels like a solvable problem.

Whether or not the bank made an error, you sound like an entitled, paranoid child. Grow up!
