Canon EOS 10D
I’ve been enjoying my used 10D for about a year now and this is a collection of information on the camera that I’ll be adding to occasionally mostly for my own reference, to help me learn and make better use of the 10D.

Increase your MacBook ram for a performance boost
Upgraded my MacBook to 2 gig of ram yesterday. I’m noticing things launch faster and run faster–everything is generally faster. That was a cheap and easy performance boost.

HTML formatting Word or RTF for blog posts
If you have an occasional Microsoft Word document or RTF formatted document you want to convert to clean HTML–and I mean HTML that has no more than standard formatting applied such as bold and italics but no font or color declarations–and you have to get those documents on the internet, then it’s hard to find a good tool for easily converting those documents. Having switched to using a MAC full-time I’ve been looking for a good process for converting such documents to HTML for posting through the WordPress blog interface. The article at macosxhints.com, Convert formatted text to valid HTML using TextEdit, is just what I was looking for. This is a simple process that uses TextEdit on the Mac to cleanly and easily format text for the web.

Tag those files
Tagging my bookmarks has been wonderful. Today I discovered Punakea for Mac OS X which looks very promising in that it will allow me to tag the mountain of files I seem to dig through every day looking for the one I need at the moment. Finding files can be irritating to say the least. Punakea looks like it just may ease some of the frustration of finding files.
“Punakea is a little app trying to help you cope with the day-to-day struggle of managing your files. Designed to complement Spotlight, it allows you to tag your files and bookmarks, freeing you of the strict hierarchy of the Finder’s folder structure.”
