Thursday, January 29th, 2009Free 1Password Licenses!
Sunday, December 28th, 20081Password is a very powerful application for OSX to keep safe your passwords and identities. It works as a standalone application and as a series of plugins for several Internet browsers. It is capable of, among other things, autofill registration forms and save you a lot of time filling in the same personal information again and again. To autofill a login form, just click the 1P browser menu bar icon, choose a previously recorded identity and voila, 1Password logins in automagically with no further interaction.
All the harvested information is stored in a different keychain unlocked by a master key placed in the login keychain (See “Keychain access.app” for more information).
Macheist, in collaboration with Agile Web Solutions, is offering free licenses as a Christmas present here. You only have to create and account and click in the links below the tree to get your free license.

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008I’ve finally committed the crime :)
I’ve been looking for a new monitor for a lot of time. Given I’ve decided to use my new Macbook as my unique desktop system it turned necessary to buy a new display to exploit in a better way the capacity of this marvelous operating system, MacOSX.
Starting with the idea of buying a simple LCD 20″ monitor and after asking a bunch of anonymous multimedia and imaging amateurs for advice I ended up opening my scope and buying a gorgeous 23″ FullHD Dell display.
The monitor arrived today. Connecting it to my macbook through VGA was easy as pie, it looks incredibly stunning at 1920×1080. One of the main advantages of this display is its aspect ratio. Having an AR of 16:9 allows you to get rid of the annoying black parts on screen while watching 16:9 TV shows downloaded from the Internet. This way, you get an actual full screen :)
Take my advice and if you have in mind buying a new display evade old fashioned resolutions such as 1680×1050 and enjoy the FullHD experience.
I’ve also bought a wired Apple keyboard&mouse which have improved my desktop experience even more, having now a comfortable desktop setup to enjoy even more one of the things I do more often, spending uncountable hours in front of my beloved computer.
That’s all folks!
