Mac Lab Rat #9 - Global Geek Podcast

September 24th, 2007 · 4 Comments

This week marked my first appearance on the GGP as a full-fledged guest host.  We had a great time recording the show despite Tim’s headset being all fubar.  Here’s the notes from this week’s edition, it’s a short one, so don’t blink or you’ll miss it.  :)

The first app up this week is an iPhoto plugin that will allow you to send photos via your Gmail account directly from iPhoto.  iPhoto2Gmail is a simple plugin which will allow you to send email messages from your iPhoto application and attach up to a 20 MB image to the image.  It’s pretty straight forward and offers other features like encrypted storage of your Gmail credentials.  If you like to send photos by email, and want to avoid firing up a browser or Thunderbird to do so, give iPhoto2Gmail a shot.

Download the plugin from author Juan Leon’s website.

The second application for review this week has become, for many, the industry standard for backup and data replication on the Macintosh platform.  Carbon Copy Cloner will allow you to backup data to and from almost any media including disk drives and disk image files.

It’s a simple to use application which will allow you to schedule your backups and make them completely mindless.  Now you don’t have any excuse for not getting those backups done.

Download Mike Bombich’s CCC.

      We appreciated having you on the show Keith - sorry about all the crap that went on before - but that’s podcasting for ya.

      Have you listened to the show yet? I reckon it was a great show and a bulk load of fun.

      I have! Listened to it on the way home from work yesterday. You did an amazing job editing out all my… lack of prep. :)
