Convert Vinyl LPs to CD Converting audio taken from LPs and cassettes is a time intensive process. First, you have to capture the audio in real time, followed by a somewhat complicated editing process. Through the use of this ebook, the process should be simplified, although there is no true cookie-cutter model for editing audio. If your goal is the preservation of vinyl, your time spent will be well worth the investment and the more LPs you record, the easier the process will become. Get this ebook now!

Does your Web site have an RSS feed? Why not? I've got a Web news reader and it's looking for compliant XML files. I wrote about supporting a possible new document standard for small businesses in my blog. Lockergnomie Blaine Kendall caught it: "This afternoon, I read your lament about being able "to subscribe to someone's vCard." It's possible... it's out there. Infotriever has been doing it for a few years now. I can't tell you how valuable it's been in these dot-bomb days, bouncing from company to company (six different email addresses / companies in three years) and keeping my contacts up-to-date. Subscribe once, and when you change your e-mail address, all of your subscribers are updated. As with most technologies, it works best once you've got a critical mass adopting it. That's happened for me. A side benefit - what the company is in business for - is updating schedules (events, travel bookings, etc.), so if you're a big traveler, it'll track all that stuff for you from online travel bookings, too. I know you're like me and get excited about useful technology." Sounds crazy, but it just might work. Beats the heck out of getting bounces from old buddies.

The other night we had what was sure to be the first in a series of informal get-togethers for Bay Area bloggers; I had the opportunity to swap stories with publishing peers. We started with burgers and fries, and wound up talking about chips. Alex Scoble told me about junction points in Windows: "a useful thing that they added with NTFS 5. FAT32 partitions can't do junction points, which allow you to link a directory to another empty directory anywhere in your file space. For instance, I have 'C:\ My Documents \ My Music' linked to 'Desktop \ My Music.' This way, 'My Music' shows up as a directory directly underneath 'My Computer.' I did the same thing for 'My Pictures.' A similar feature has existed in *nix forever, but has only recently appeared in Windows. Then again, in five years (as things are going), it will be very difficult to distinguish between *nix and Windows - at least, feature-wise. Anyway, try using Junction Link Magic (in 2000 or XP)." Alex joined us at home for an impromptu Xbox tournament which lasted until 2AM. Jake and a lead developer for IE on the Mac wound up playing an intense Halo campaign, while most of us sat back and argued about tech politics. My party affiliation? Fun.

CleanUp! v3.0 [256K] Win9x/2k/XP FREE

http://cleanup.stevengould.org/

{Remove temporary files} CleanUp? That's a surefire way to attract this organization-freak's attention, but only if it doesn't require a broom and mop. The program deletes the temporary files that are created while you're surfing the Web (including cache, cookies, and history), clears out temporary folders, and totals deleted files to prevent retrieval of their contents with lower- level disk tools. All these features are a step toward protecting what little privacy we have these days. Games have high scores and we all want to be on the high scores list, right? Even CleanUp! has a list of disk space recovery records. That's one list I don't wish to join, especially when the top record is 3.75 GB. Yeah, I better go do some cleaning... but all I have to do is sit here and let CleanUp! do its thing. [Meryl]

Windows Messenger Account Logon Problems

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307294

If you're having trouble signing in Windows Messenger, one of these issues could be the cause: the server is down (as was the case last week), the sign-in name is incorrect or has a typo, or the Hotmail account itself may no longer exist. The article describes how to sign up and troubleshoot .NET Passport for use in Windows Messenger. To sign on for the first time, type your sign- in name (for example, yourusername@yourdomain.com) and the .NET Passport password. These passwords are case-sensitive; you must use the same spelling and capitalization each time you sign in. If you do not want to type your password every time you sign in, click to select the "Remember my name and password on this computer" check box. Be aware that anyone who is using your computer CAN sign in if you check this box. The rest of the article covers automatically and manually connecting to Messenger, and using a firewall or LAN.

GnomeTIPS

Question: What software products are commonly used in creating a magazine?

Answer: For the most part, you need a desktop publishing package like Quark Xpress, Adobe InDesign, or Adobe PageMaker. What's a magazine without visuals? To create high-quality images, use an image-editing app like Adobe Photoshop. Before embarking on a magazine project and purchasing tools for it, however, we recommend talking with printers first to find out what their requirements are to produce the finished product. Macs are most popular with the print crowd because of their ability to produce the high-quality layouts for printing, so don't be surprised if that issue comes up in conversation. Obviously, the whole process isn't going to be cheap! Therefore, it's important to start with market research and planning, which includes mission, budgeting, competition analysis, and advertising planning. It's a wonder that there are so many magazines on the market considering the complexity it takes to build one. [Furo and Meryl]

Answer: First of all, congratulations on getting the site to look good in the various browsers. It's an excellent move to test them in the more popular browsers to ensure that a site works properly. Just a side note - don't expect a Web site to look identical in all browsers; accept the fact that each has its own idiosyncrasies and interprets code differently even if you do it by hand. Even though a program is WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get"), it isn't always [exactly] the case. Many people know that Microsoft Word doesn't always print results just like what's on the screen, but it's close. When I used Printer Preview in Internet Explorer or Opera and actually printed it out, it wasn't exact, either. For example, the Print Preview may show that something prints only on one page, but on the printer it prints instead to two pages, with two sentences on the second page (grrr!).

Dreamweaver is the same way, especially when you use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). MX has a much-improved ability to preview how a site looks with CSS, but it's still not perfect. There are other features and functionality that can only preview correctly in a browser and not actually within Dreamweaver itself. When I was testing the use of PHP and MySQL database for forms and a dynamic Web page (updates based on information served on the back end), I couldn't try it out within the Dreamweaver interface, but I could get an idea of how it looked. HTML editors are getting better with each release, so I imagine soon enough we'll see one that can preview a page closely to what is shown on the browser. But like Word, it may never be 100% accurate. Yep, it's true: software isn't perfect! [Meryl]
