Seeing as I have a perfectly good iPad and HDMI connector I thought I'd give watching Netflix on the TV using the iPad a shot. The good news is that it works as advertised; you plug it all together, set the input on the TV the voila: your Netflix movie on the TV. The bad news is the decidedly un-Apple-like experience of using the thing. Posted by Bryan Kyle. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://bryan-kyle.blogspot.com/2012/08/universal-command.html
Please join me at my new location bryankyle.com. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. There’s a function for basically everything you can do with it. Many, but not all of these functions are. Meaning they can be executed directly by the user. And these commands can be executed by typing their name into the minibuffer. For example, to move forward a word you can type. That is: press the meta key [2]. So what exactly is this feature? Will open the Help menu with the Search box highlighted. Posted by Bryan Kyle. I'm a...

Locking the screen basically just ensures that no one will accidentally delete a bunch of files. In a less secure environment it helps to protect the data that you have on the machine as well. To work around this, I decided to write my own custom OS X Service to start the screen saver. I then assigned a global keyboard shortcut to it, and Behold! Create a new Service. Set the script to be.

Bryan Kyle's Blog: What Information Are You Sharing?

Please join me at my new location bryankyle.com. Saturday, March 24, 2012. What Information Are You Sharing? The Nest Learning Thermostat. Looks like a really cool device. I really like its overall design, and the technology behind it is pretty cool too. The amount of innovation in the less-than-sexy thermostat market has been pretty poor up until this point. Yes, yes. I really like the idea of the Nest. But there’s something that bothers me about it. Auto-Away. The Nest has a feature called Auto-Away.

http://bryan-kyle.blogspot.com/2012/04/byword-review.html
Please join me at my new location bryankyle.com. Sunday, April 1, 2012. I’ve been a big fan of Byword for OS X for quite some time. I like how it strives to be simple but still allows you to make your own choices about a few things. When Byword came out for iOS a few weeks ago with iCloud support I thought it would be great. Below are some of the things I’ve found. In my limited use of Byword for iOS I’ve noticed a few crashes. Nowhere near an Instacast [1]. As simple as Byword it makes me wonder. The wa...

Adding a shell script as a login item causes the script to be opened in an editor; not exactly what I had in mind. Login items need to be applications, but how do you convert a shell script into an application? To convert a simple shell script into an application using Platypus you’ll need to follow these steps:.
