1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you get in touch with technology? With

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: tech stuff from how stuff works dot com. Hi there,

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast. My name is Chris Polette. I'm

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: an editor How Stuff Works. Sitting next to me, as usual,

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: is senior writer Jonathan Strickland. Hey, folks, and today we

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: were going to tinker around with some some ideas. Yes,

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: basically the tools we use to get our jobs done here, right,

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: and so we're talking about things that make our lives

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: a little easier when we're trying to research, right, publish articles,

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: even research things for the podcast, Um and uh, I

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: just thought maybe it'd be interesting for you guys to

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: hear kind of a collection of the stuff that that

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: we rely on on a regular basis. That's true. Now

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: we should probably start with, um, the easy stuff. Okay, sure,

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: Microsoft Office, Yes, we use Microsoft Office extensively, so Word

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: and Excel in particular, not so much with the power

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: point power Point yeah, not really a power point company, Yeah,

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: but word we we I type up all my articles

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: and Word and I send them over to the Pallette

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: who then eviscerates them and makes them better. And Excel.

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: We used to track things like our our article assignments

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: and things like that. If our meta information is put

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: into an Excel spreadsheet which is converted into common to

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: limited file, which sounds it's just as exciting as it sounds. People. Um.

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: And then that's the funny thing about this. You know,

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: you don't really think about office as being that big

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: a deal, but you know it's taken a lot of

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: refinement over the years. And yeah, you know, I'm I'm

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: a Mac person generally, I was an Immiga person before that,

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: so I kind of I kind of came weight to

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: the Windows thing. I didn't even start using Windows until

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: pretty much skipped over three, which I'm told I didn't

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: really miss much. Well, yeah, I reluctantly started with Windows three.

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: So I actually came from a perfect background. So Correl,

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, that was my that was my background. So

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: when I switched over to word, I was it was

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: kicking and screaming. But these days, you know, I've actually

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: gotten very much used to the way word works, and

40
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty much impossible to find any place other

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: than I think a few legal firms still used word perfect,

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: but it's still very popular and legal, and but I

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: like Office. For the next part, I tried open Office,

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: which is an alternative from Sun. It's free, um open

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: source stuff, and it's got the entire suite of tools,

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: including some of the ones that Microsoft charges extra for.

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Very nice, but you know, sort of lower key if

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: you will. They don't have a lot of the bells

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: and whistles. Um. Same thing with like Google Docs. I've

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: used Google Docs once or twice for some some small projects.

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: But um, you know, for a way to really uh,

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: to be to be really integrated in the office, you

53
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: pretty much have to work work with a Microsoft Office

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: and of course Outlook as well. Yeah, that's very important

55
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: tool for us for coordinating our meetings and calendars and

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: things of that nature. Moving away from that basic sweet

57
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: what browser do you use or browsers most often anyway? Um?

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan likes to pick on me because I champion some

59
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: browsers he doesn't particularly like. By and large, I use

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Firefox um are content management system. Uh sort of has

61
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: a problem with Firefox three, So I'm basically using Firefox too.

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: But if you really want to know all this stuff,

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: I use UM, believe it or not. I do use

64
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: Google Chrome on occasion, but I like to try different

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: stuff because not only do I like to talk about it,

66
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: but I also kind of I'm I'm a sort of

67
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: a beta junkie. Yeah. So I've got a copy of

68
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: Opera on my my computer. I've also got Safari for Windows. Um,

69
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: I have Chrome on there somewhere. I even have Flock,

70
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: which is another offshoot of my the Mozilla suite of software.

71
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: I do have a question for you. Do you have

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Safari on there on purpose? No, I actually do. I

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: like so far. I was just wondering if you didn't

74
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: accidentally install it when you were updating iTunes or something,

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: even though there's a giant security hole in it. Yes,

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: I do have a copy of Safari on there, and

77
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: I think it's sort of It's sort of weird because

78
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: I think all of these different browsers have stuff that

79
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: nobody else has. Yeah, there's their little bits and pieces.

80
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: You know, they're plug ins buying larger Y use Firefox

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 1: and Firefox three is really speedy. There's no giant memory

82
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: league like there is in two. But um, you know,

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: I do like to play around with the other ones

84
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: just to see what they're like. Opera is a really

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: nifty browser I think has been overlooked for the longest time. Unfortunately,

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: UM and it uh, you know, it's just sort of

87
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: gone by the wayside. And we also use Internet Explorer

88
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: on occasion we don't want to know and there are

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: times when I've found the Internet Explorer is is the

90
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,119
Speaker 1: the best browser to ow to a certain web page,

91
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: and occasionally we do use that. I rely on Firefox

92
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: for most of my work. I love Chrome, but I

93
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: use Firefox because, like you said, the plug ins are

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: very useful, and we can talk a little bit about

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: some of the plug ins we use, uh for work.

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: But then Chrome just doesn't have that functionality yet, and

97
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: I stress yet when it does have it. But by Firefox.

98
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: Now I'm kidding. I really enjoy Firefox as well, but

99
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: I always have both open. I mean, there's no time

100
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna come by my desk and not see that.

101
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm always gonna have a Chrome window

102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: open and a Firefox window open with multiple tabs in each.

103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: And um, so let's talk about some of the plug

104
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: ins for Firefox that help us. UM. I use. There's

105
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: most of the ones I use. Collett's the one who

106
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: introduced me to them, but Pillette, being the beta junkie

107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: he is, tends to adopt, use it, abandon and move on.

108
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: May I tend to find one and I'm I'm sticking

109
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: with this one because it does exactly what I needed

110
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: to do. So, for instance, I use a Zotero, which

111
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: is one that you recommended to me, like very much.

112
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: It's a it's a sort of a bookmarking indexing kind

113
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: of plug in where you can, um, you can bookmark

114
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: a site and it even includes site information when you

115
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: when you bookmarket so it tells you when you access

116
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: the site, which is important citation information exactly, yes, website

117
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: c I t e. Thank you. I appreciate the clarification.

118
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: U hit me, Yeah, affair. But now the it is

119
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: very useful because, as as uh one of the writers here,

120
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: one of the things I have to do when I'm

121
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: citing a source is I have to say when I

122
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: looked at that source. Because being the Internet, things don't

123
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: stay the same all the time. People can go back

124
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: and change stuff. It's not like a book. When a

125
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: book comes out, you know you have to wait till

126
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: a new edition of that book comes out before you

127
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: see any changes. But on a website. You could theoretically

128
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: cite something and then the next day the author says,

129
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: oh crap, I didn't mean to do that, and go

130
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: back and change it, and then it doesn't say what

131
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 1: it said when you read it. So that never happens

132
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: with us. No, of course not. So what we do

133
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: is we we list when we've looked at a site,

134
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: so that way you can say, well, it didn't say this. Well,

135
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, if you go into a say like the

136
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Internet archive, you can tell that it did say that

137
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: once upon a time. So that's one of the ones

138
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I use. Do you have any plug ins that you

139
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: want to talk about, I'm just gonna add to that. Okay,

140
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: sure that you may say, well, you know, when I

141
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: was a student, I used end note. What's the big

142
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 1: deal about staro? Well, unlike EndNote? So taro is free.

143
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: It is completely free and it's beautiful. You can save

144
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: entire copies of a web page or you can just

145
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: save a link. You can make folders, you can tag things. Um.

146
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: It's very very useful if you're trying to say, you know,

147
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: you can put stuff in a out your podcast and

148
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: say okay wait podcast um, and then it'll bring up

149
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: all the different citations you use for that. So it's

150
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty nifty in that regard. Um, let's see plug ins,

151
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: plug ins, plug ins. How about DGO, d I, I

152
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: g OE, yep, yep. It's um, it's pretty nifty. It's

153
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: got a toolbar and it's very like delicious in some ways.

154
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: You can save copies of links, you know, a giant

155
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: list of bookmarks. It's a social bookmarking tool. Um. But

156
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: the toolbar the reason I use I use both of them.

157
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: The reason I use dgo UM actually for an earlier

158
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: podcast we recorded a few minutes ago. It's got a

159
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: highlighter tool so you can highlight stuff and actually, if

160
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: you make it public, other people can go on the

161
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: web page and see. As long as you have the

162
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: dgo plug in installed, you can actually see the stuff

163
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: that other people have highlighted are marked up um, which

164
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: can or may not be useful depending on what it

165
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: is they've marked up in why um, But yeah, I

166
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: mean you've got you've got that of available to you,

167
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: and you can go back and look at your notes

168
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: and say, oh I bookmark this then, and hey, look

169
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: I know highlighted this and made some notes on it.

170
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: So you can have annotations on a web page, which

171
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: is very very useful. Um. I also use ever note.

172
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah that's one of the ones that you you embraced

173
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: and then abandoned. Correct. Yeah, except I'm actually looking at

174
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: my notes now on every note came back to the fold. Yeah,

175
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: I had a problem in which some of my notes

176
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: were deleted. I did a fresh install before I did this,

177
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: so i'm and and everything's there, so so hopefully it'll

178
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: stay up. Yeah. I haven't had a problem with it yet.

179
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, some people did have problems with it, and

180
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: I think you even heard back from someone using another tool.

181
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: Will get to in a minute, but um, yeah, every

182
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: note allows you to to to either bookmark an entire

183
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: page and inside another inside every note, which you can

184
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: access offline. You don't have to be online to access

185
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: every note. Um. Or you can highlight a section of

186
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: a web page, can just save that, so if there's

187
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: a particular paragraph you want to to refer to later,

188
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: you can do that. It's also it's very useful when

189
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: you're doing stuff like um the podcast preparation, really because

190
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: you can you can highlight sections of text and say,

191
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: all right, well, this is something that you want to

192
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: talk about this, but you don't want to have the

193
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: whole website up when you're when you're going through the podcast,

194
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: because it's too hard to find the information you're looking for.

195
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: You can also make notes, you can highlight, you can

196
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: change text size. UM you can. It's also really really

197
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: useful for screenshots. I found um and because if you

198
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: do a screenshot while every note is open, you can

199
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: you can uh dictate the parameters of your screenshot so

200
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: you don't have to use it doesn't take a shot

201
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: of the entire screen. You can you get the little

202
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: borders that you can um size appropriately and take a

203
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: shot of just the part of the screen you want,

204
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: which saves time later on when you're editing photos. That's ah,

205
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: that's very useful for uh. Firefox that use a plug

206
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: in called screen Grab, same sort of thing, does the

207
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: same thing. It's you know, within the web window. Um. Yeah.

208
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: So and then one other Firefox plug in, I can

209
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: talk about fox Marks, which is the synchronized bookmarks application

210
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: where if you're if you're you we're using multiple machines,

211
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: you know that it's difficult if you know, like you

212
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: might bookmark something on one machine and then you're on

213
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: another machine and you realize that it's you don't have

214
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: the bookmark on that one, it's on your other computer.

215
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: That can you get really frustrating. So fox Marks is

216
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: a way where you create a little, you know, kind

217
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: of a bookmark account and you can synchronize bookmarks across

218
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: multiple machines and access them from wherever you happen to

219
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: be at the time. You know, you can also do

220
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: that with Google Browser Sync. Yes, and Opera also offers

221
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: a feature like that too. I was just talking about

222
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the Firefox plug in. I'm the one who has all

223
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: the anti very various anti such and such biases like

224
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: anti mac bias and all that, right that doesn't actually exist. UM,

225
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: let's talk about a few of the other tools I'm not.

226
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Do you have any other Firefox ones you wanted to

227
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: talk about? No, I do have a web tool, so

228
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: if we want to go to web, let's UM. I

229
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: have something installed on my web host that I use. UM,

230
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: and I'd be willing to bet the very few of

231
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: our listeners have ever heard of it. It's called Tasks

232
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: junior UM. It's made by a company called crowd Favorite

233
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: used to be King designed. Alex King came out with

234
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: this a long time ago, and there's a pro version,

235
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: uh paid version, and then this version, which is very

236
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: very downscaled. It doesn't have the same feature set um.

237
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: But what it is is tasks. Okay, so it's a

238
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: it's a to do list, which is pretty simple, except

239
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: the reason I like this particular program over things like

240
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: remember the Milk, um, which is also pretty cool, um

241
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: or to do dot um dot com. Think I have

242
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: to go look um now that I've said that. So anyway,

243
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: the thing that makes Tasks Junior better than something like

244
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: Remember the Milk, which is also pretty cool, is that

245
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Tasks Junior allows you to install subtasks. So, for example,

246
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm editing one of Jonathan's articles and I have to

247
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: send it to a co editor, and I have to

248
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: write metaphor it, and I have to upload images for it.

249
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: I can put the giant title in there. I could say,

250
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: you know how the Amazon kindle works, and I could say, okay,

251
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: make sure you edit the article, make sure you give

252
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: it to the co editor, make sure you put it

253
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: in the dropbox for someone else for the for the

254
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: publisher to pick up and publish. And I can check

255
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: off those individual tasks under the heading of the main task. UM.

256
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: So that's an especially useful thing because stuff like Outlook

257
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: that's got the it's got a tasks list, but you

258
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: don't have the ability to do subtasks, so they're all individually,

259
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, loose in there. UM which is UH, which

260
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: is okay, and I'm pretty sure of the crowd. Favorite

261
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: actually offers a hosting service where you can sign up

262
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: to do that. But if you get tasks junior um,

263
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: which is essentially donation where you have to install it

264
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: on your own server, and it's it's fairly easy to do,

265
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: but it's really nifty stuff. UM. I use a couple

266
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: of web based UH applications occasionally. UM. There was a

267
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: time where I had a little bit of I was

268
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: going through a transition on computers UM and UH because

269
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: yours kept dying. I wasn't going to go into that. Yeah. Yeah,

270
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm the tech guy who kills laptops, so I'm on

271
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: my fourth one here and UH. But one of the

272
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: issues is that when I get a new laptop, I

273
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily have all the software on it that I

274
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: would need to do my job. And because most of

275
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: our software we're working on licenses, it would mean that

276
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: we have to get a new license for that machine

277
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: so that we could run it legally. Right, one of

278
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: those being Photoshop when we that's one of the big

279
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: programs we used to edit art here and um or

280
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: at least one of the ones. I use Photoshop Elements,

281
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: really Photoshop Elements, Yeah, I should be should be specific,

282
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: but um, when I didn't have Photoshop Elements, I at

283
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: least still had access to Photoshop Express, which is a

284
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: web based photo editing software. Um, and it's really limited. Yeah,

285
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: you can't do nearly as much on Photoshop Express as

286
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: you could with Elements or some other uh computer desktop

287
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: based uh photo editing software. But I could do enough

288
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: where I could at least make it less of a

289
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: task for Polette to to to edit and upload to

290
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: the articles. UM. Fortunately, I know have Photoshop Elements on

291
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: this computer, so I don't have to worry about anymore.

292
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: But that was that was definitely useful. Yep. Um see,

293
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of other desktopy software. Well, I

294
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: use uh, we can talk about maybe the I am

295
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: software we use because I I use Digsby. I know

296
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: you don't you don't you Digsby do you? Oh? Here's

297
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: another situation in which I have run through a gamut

298
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: of stuff. I'm a trillion fan. Yeah. UM. I used

299
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: digsby for a while. It is a free and open

300
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: source UH chat client. It offers a lot of functions

301
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: that others don't like Google Talk and Facebook Chat and

302
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: my Space chat as well as it can you can

303
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: link it so that you can check your You can

304
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: keep a running tab on on your email accounts so Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, mail,

305
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: um it. You can see what the you know when

306
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: new messages come in. You can actually see the indications

307
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: for that without having to go to those websites. You

308
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: can even delete messages from your desktop without going to

309
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: those websites. That's also very handy and UH. For a

310
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: while I used Pigeon p I d G I n UM, which,

311
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: as many of you know, I'm sure is UH. A

312
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Pigeon is a sort of a mishmash of two language

313
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: is together to form a third. Well. This is an

314
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: open source I AM Multi i AM protocol client UM,

315
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: sort of like a d M for the Mac. Pigeon

316
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: is is available for a Lennox and Windows and it's UH.

317
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of the same capabilities, although it's

318
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: really I am based. It's really not a male thing.

319
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm a bobber. Well. The other thing about Digsby that

320
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: the other useful thing for me is that it allows

321
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: me to check my Twitter accounts. Yes, and Twitter is

322
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: another one of those tools that we use quite a bit,

323
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: and it's uh. I use it to follow a lot

324
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: of other tech journalists so I can keep up with

325
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: tech news as it's being broken. Um and occasionally I

326
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: send out a little Twitter messages as well, so you

327
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: can always track me down on Twitter and find out,

328
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm complaining about someone making popcorn in

329
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: the office, because those are the kind of really important

330
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: messages I tend to send out. Yeah yeah, For a while,

331
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: I was signing up for a lot of those, um yeah,

332
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: but every seems like every single day would send me

333
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: another email saying hey, look at this, and I'm like,

334
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: what are you doing to me? I'm I already belonged

335
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: to like fifty social networks. I can't I can't join anymore.

336
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well then you got um Twitter and you

337
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: have ji q or hi q. I've never heard anywhere

338
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: announced that clerk pounds quippy cork identica. I belong to

339
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: so many of these, and they're basically, um, yeah you

340
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: said the right one, okay. Um, so yeah, there are

341
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: pounds plexo. Yeah yeah, I was gonna say, did you

342
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: see a pounds? Um? There are tons and tons of these,

343
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: And there are services like ping dot fm that allow

344
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: you to broadcast one tweet to all these different services

345
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: every time, or you know, you can blog to other

346
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: services like Blogger and Tumbler and WordPress all the time.

347
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't use I don't use most of those in

348
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: my day to day work. No Twitter, but I used

349
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: I have used Ping to write to post to those

350
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: different things. Um. And and friend feed, which is sort

351
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: of a reverse of those, where you know, you can

352
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: have all those post to your friend feed and then

353
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: people can comment to that, which is kind of cool. Um.

354
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: And those are tools we used to network with other

355
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: tech people or you know, people who have interesting contents content. Um. Yeah, Readers.

356
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: I've used Google Reader. I also used NewsGator. I actually

357
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: meant people who read our website. That's also cool. Yeah,

358
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: I use Google Reader as well. UM. Now I meant

359
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: that we could use those two to readers people. Let's

360
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: move on to readers, because I use Google Reader as well.

361
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: As actually gonna mention I Google. I occasionally use that

362
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: to check a billion RSS feeds at one time. Um,

363
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: that's very useful. Whenever we want to see what's hot

364
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: in tech or what's the latest news, you can you

365
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: can check many for RSS feeds all at the same time.

366
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: And uh and yeah, it's very handy. Yeah. I like

367
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: a NewsGator because it uh, you know a lot of

368
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: people have a remembrance of when they weren't all that

369
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: uh friendly, they had some issues with um, but now

370
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: they're now they're totally above board. Now they offer RSS stuff. UM,

371
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, you can go online or you can They

372
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: actually bought two different clients. The one for Windows is

373
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: called feed Demon, it was very very popular client, and

374
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: the one for Mac is net Newswire, which was a

375
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: very very very popular client among Mac users. Um. And

376
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: one of the cool things about NewsGator is that if

377
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: you use one of those desktop clients, you can set

378
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: it to sync with the web or you know, so

379
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: you can read I can catch up with tech news

380
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: at home, and it knows which articles I've read, so

381
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: I won't go back and go oh man, I have

382
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: to go through all these again. I've already looked at these. Well,

383
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the advantages is to using

384
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: the at instead. And one of the other things I

385
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about was job which is inbox spelled backwards.

386
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: It's for for uh Microsoft Outlook. Yeah. I had this briefly,

387
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: but I was having some issues. It was causing my

388
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: outlook to crash and it was probably because it was

389
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: interfering with some other program that I also happened to

390
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: have on my computer. It's not I don't mean to

391
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: say that jobny itself was defective. I think it was

392
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: just not playing well with so many of the other

393
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: plugins that I already have. Well, each of us has

394
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: a cocktail of software. It's different from everyone else, and

395
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: sometimes it gets a little poisonous. That's the problem. But

396
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: what it does is it's really neat. It indexes your email.

397
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: It can tell you who's the most popular person, tells

398
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: you when you're most likely to get a response based

399
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: on the analysis of that email. You can look up

400
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: a word and it won't pull it up. You can

401
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: look for different attachments and will help you find them

402
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 1: five hours now. Expect a response from Strickland in five hours. Um, well,

403
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: I have only one other one left, Google Desktop. I

404
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: have Google Desktop on. It helps me search my computer

405
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: for files if I've somehow managed to misplace them, which

406
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: has happened on occasion, sometimes too great personal distress, but

407
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: it also is very useful again in Outlook, UM I

408
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: can search. I can use Google Desktop to search my

409
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: my Outlook for specific keywords or phrases, which comes very handy, like,

410
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: for instance, I'm planning a trip to the Consumer Electronic

411
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: Showcase later on actually at the beginning of next year,

412
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: and this way I can quickly search through all the

413
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: emails from ce S for something specific, Like I was saying,

414
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: there was that one from Pioneer, and I can search

415
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: Pioneer ce S and it'll pull it up really quickly,

416
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: So that's very handy in my case. That was my

417
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: last one. All right, Well, my last one is UH

418
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: as a tool called dropbox, and this is a plug

419
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: in you can install for Mac or Windows. And this

420
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: is another one of those home and work things. That's

421
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: pretty neat because UH unlike services like box dot net,

422
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: which I like very much, they offer. Both of these

423
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: services offer free hosting for your junk UM you know,

424
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: sound files or pictures or documents. UM and it's great

425
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: because it's online and in the cloud, and you can

426
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, store stuff there. Well, you know that's that's cool.

427
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: And you know, if you upgrade, you can start storing

428
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: giant stuff. You can even collaborate with other people. But

429
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: what makes drop box different is that this plug in

430
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: on your computer actually makes a folder pop up on

431
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: your desktop or in your documents folder. So not only

432
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: do you can you store stuff there, but you can

433
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: actually drag and drop. Um. And so now I can

434
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: save documents. I don't like hauling my laptop everywhere I go,

435
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: so if I have something I just want to take

436
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: a look at, I can put it in my drop box,

437
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: go look at it at home, and then you know,

438
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: save any changes I make there. And it's you know,

439
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: drag and drop or save and Microsoft are directly to

440
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: the dropbox rather than having to save it and then

441
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: upload it through the web interface. Um. But on the

442
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: other hand, and box dot Net offers a uh an

443
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: iPhone app which is pretty cool too. You can actually

444
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: access stuff there. And Live Mesh is something from Microsoft

445
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: that I'm starting to play with. Athough there's no Mac

446
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: client yet, it does offer you the opportunity to two

447
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: save stuff in a similar way where you've got the

448
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: plug in and it's integrated with your desktop. So that's

449
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: a lot of tools. You know, I thought, you know,

450
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: when we first talked about this, we were both like,

451
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have enough to talk about it. Yeah,

452
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: we had way more than we thought. And then there's

453
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, pen and paper what anyway you lost me? Yeah?

454
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: I know. It's that stone age technology. And we have

455
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: articles on many, many, many of these tools that we've

456
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: talked about, such as how Twitter works, we have HOLP,

457
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: Firefox works. You can find all of those right now
