How to install Dexter Screensaver on the Mac

Dexter uses a mac (by bertboerland)

24, lost, house. Sure good tv. But nothing compared to Dexter. Dexter, By far the best American serie I have ever seen. Consider me a fan.

So when I saw that Dexter (wiki) had a mac with a bloody screensaver and found out it was available for the Mac, I had to get this as well.

On http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/downloads.do you can download the Mac and Windows version. The mac verson is zip with and .app in it. Howerver, double clicking the application does not give you anything.

So if you want to install this screensaver (not that good by the way) on your mac, here is the workaround:

Download,
unzip,
right click on the file (control-click),
go to "show package contents,
go contents>resources>dexter screen saver.saver

This will open system preferences with a dialog box prompting an install. Say yes and the screen saver will show up in the left hand navigation menu in screen savers. Select it and you are good to go.

And in case you want to become the "dark Defender" yourself, learn from this video series.

MediaMosa, an Open Source Drupal Module, has been released

Today, Mediamosa has been released. It is hard to describe what it does, but the picture above should give you a hint..

From the website, you can read that MediaModsa

[...] is a state-of-the-art, scalable Middleware Media Distribution Platform and facilitates access to, and usage of (shared) storage capacity, metadata databases, transcoding- and streaming servers. The platform offers functionality for searching, playing, uploading, transcoding, as well as a fine granularity media access control system towards its users.

You can see MediaMosa as a Drupal Module that provides central storage, publishing and transcoding functionality. A Media Asset Manager Hub on steroids! It was developed by/for SURFnet, an academic network in the Netherlands. Dutch readers are encouraged to read the pressrelease.

It is not easy to understand or easy to install, but please give it a try on your localhost if you are into Media (management) and Drupal. Many broadcasters are already looking at this in the Netherlands. Great job!

GTD (getting Things Done) with Freemind

I have tried multiple tools to "Get Things Done" (wiki). n teh end I just use mindmapping, since it is form me the most logical way to order items.

I started out with >MindNode, lots of eyecandey yet low on useful features. Then I went back to the Open Source FreeMind that I have been using for years. And it worked fine for me! But I still learn from pronovix!
