by Todd Daniel [email protected]

I want to thank the board and membership for electing meas your new Newsletter Director. I will always strive to live upto the high standards of our prestigious and respected usergroup.

First, let me start by saying that I am a total, unabashedcomputer fanatic. While I love tinkering with all computers,my heart is always first and foremost with the Mac.

My interest in computing started in 1981 around the timethe first IBM desktop came out. What a fascinating machine,which was great for running Lotus 1-2-3. I was intrigued.

In 1984 I took my first computer programming class, andsoon afterwards my uncle gave me my first com-puter — a Commodore 64. I’ll never forget thejoy of writing in BASIC 2.0, playing with “sprites,”and creating simple programs. And gosh, remem-ber those programs you typed in from a maga-zine? Too much fun!

I later acquired an Apple IIe from my cousin,and purchased a Commodore 128 as well. Plus, a thanksgoes to my brother, who later gave me his 286 PC.

In regards to Mac, I was a latecomer to the scene and start-ed with a Mac SE in 1987. Oh, what an incredible beauty shewas with the 1 MG of memory and 20 MG hard drive.

Okay, admittedly, I got out of the Macs from 1991 to 2002and ventured to “the dark side of the force.” It was therelease of OS X that lured me back home to the wonderfulMacs.

If asked what I like to do with computers, my answers isEVERYTHING. I am into all uses of the computer and, really,I think my day job and volunteer work are just excuses to playon the Mac.

Just for fun, I’ve ventured into every area possible withcomputing. In future newsletters you are going to join me onmy journey. We are going to look at all the dozens of funthings you can do with your home computer, ranging fromprogramming to movie editing, and to personal finances towebsite design.

Simply put, my goal is to help enrich your computing expe-rience. And really, that is a goal of AMUG as well. Please joinme each month as we look at Apple news, the latest software,books, and in each issue we’ll explore a different area ofcomputing.

Now, let the show begin with my first installment ...

Adding Memory ToA Mac MiniLast week I had the joy of

adding memory to my Mac Mini.Now, if you’ve ever consideredthis, don’t be afraid — it reallywasn’t so bad. There are manytutorials and online videos that can guide you through theprocess.

The Surgery BeginsAs you probably know, Apple doesn’t make it easy to pry a

Mini apart. According to legend, you must use a puddy knifeto undo the internal plastic latches. One cooltrick I saw online was to get a razor blade toopen the gap enough for you to insert yourpuddy knife — otherwise you’ll end up scratch-ing the bottom. Also, don’t scream in terrorwhen you hear those snapping and poppingsounds — those latches don’t want to let go

without a fight.

Enter the Magic WorldOnce I popped off the top I just sat there amazed at the

engineering genius of this device. Apple engineers havepacked an incredible amount of stuff into one tiny box. First,you have to remove the Airport antenna, which is done bysqueezing two little clips below it. Next, you must unscrewfour screws that hold the hard drive and CD assembly to themotherboard. Hurray, it came right off.

Next StepOnce you’ve exposed the motherboard you will see the two

memory slots (I have the Intel Core Duo). Squeeze open theclips and the two memory cards pop up at a 25-degree angle.Just replace them and snap them back in.

Lessons LearnedI did have a couple of surprises: 1) You must purchase

LAPTOP memory and not DESKTOP memory — I didn’t real-ize that. 2) Getting three of the screws back in was easybecause you just dropped them down the little tubes. Thefourth screw was a bear because the tube was open on oneside. Next time I’ll have a magnetic screwdriver handy.

Board of Directors Meeting Summaries

June: WWDCOur own Chris led this meeting. In the Q&A session he showed how to

display pictures in your startup screen (it was a neat trick!). He also cov-ered iDefrag, mirrored drives, winmax, and other items. For the main pro-gram, he talked about the recent World Wide Developers Conference, withlots of talk about the new 3G phones and the unlocking of the software.

The SIGS were restarted in April and havebeen going with a bang. They are currentlyheld the fourth Tuesday of each month atMacQuarium, starting at 7 p.m.

Good news! With the support of committed AMUG memberswe are able to provide some exciting Special Interest Groups(SIGs) for your educational pleasure.

Mac OS X SIG: Hosted by Jay Cann, this group explore theMacintosh operating system, the variety of tools supporting it,and more. Past sessions have included discussions onAutomator and Applescript, handling file permissions, trou-bleshooting errors, proper system maintenance, and findingresources on the WWW. Participant questions usually helpshape session discussions, and a variety of topics do get dis-cussed.

Filemaker Pro SIG: Hosted by Lee Hoong. This groupfocuses on the Filemaker Pro (FMP) database applicationwith discussion topics aimed at the beginner- or intermedi-ate-level user. Discussions range from the conceptual designof databases to building standalone database applications toexploring add-on tools. More advanced topics are coveredfrom time to time, depending on interest. All FMP users, onMacintosh and Windows platforms, are welcome to attend.

New to Mac?! SIG: (Note: We currently need a betterattendance to get this group going again. If interested, seeTom at a meeting or contact any AMUG officer) Hosted byTom Baley and others, this group explores the importantbasics and fundamentals of using your Mac. Designed forthose who have switched recently from another platform tothe Macintosh, or those who just bought a Mac, this groupdevelops a good foundation on using the Macintosh and itsbasic applications, proper maintenance and care for theMacintosh, and areas of interest for member needs.

Logistics: All SIGs meet the 4th Tuesday of each month from7:00PM to approximately 8:30PM at the Macquarium.Members should plan to meet their SIGs on the second floorwhere we usually sign in and socialize for our monthly meet-ings. The rooms in that vicinity will be where we meet for ourSIGs. See you there!

Interested in starting a SIG? See an AMUG officer. In the pastwe’ve had a Digital Camera and Page Layout SIG. Any otherideas? How about a movie production SIG?

At the June SIG meetings Lee led a class on scripting.


The Special Interest Groups (SIGS) Are Back!

In July, Lee gave a presentation on relationships. No, not thekind between couples, weʼre talking about FileMaker (muchmore fun!).

Jay leads the ever-popular Mac OS X SIG, which has beenenjoying good attendance.

Are you a freelancer? Do you have to keep track of hoursyou spend on several different projects? Do you find yourselfjotting the start and end times down on a sticky note (eitherdigital or analog), Excel spreadsheet, etc.? Do you experiencea panic attack when you can't find said sticky note or forgotto put anything into the Excel spreadsheet?! If you answeredyes to any of these questions, TheDailyGrind widget might befor you.

TheDailyGrind (no spaces in the name) let's you createmultiple timers which you can start and stop. Each one comeswith a play button for activation and the familiar OS X Actionmenu sprocket.

Click the sprocket icon to produce a cute little menu draw-er wherein you may assign a color code to your timer, resetit, delete it altogether, or copy your precious hours to theclipboard for pasting into the invoicing tool of your choice.I'm really hoping this will help me get better at tracking myhours because, well, I suck at it. I'll keep you posted!

The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition

"You can't free a fish from water." No, I suppose you can't."Never lie too soon after a promotion." Excellent advice!"Wounds heal but debt is forever." True indeed! These jewelsof wisdom and more can be yours for only... (oh wait, it'sfree) for FREE! That's right, just pop over to Apple's down-load page and snatch up this week's featured widget, TheRules of Acquisition. Ring any bells? Ah yes, straight from theGrand Nagus himself (dang I miss DS9), this widget displaysa new rule each time you pop into Dashboard (or every timeyou click the Ferengi insignia, or press Command + R torefresh). Just think of the possibilities! You'll never have tohunt around for an amusing (though wise!) quote to tackonto your email signatures ever again!

TIP: To close any widget without opening the Dashboardcontrol panel, simply hold down the Option key and mouseover the widget to produce a circled X in the top left corner(as shown below). Click it once to send the widget packin'.

MacGyverisms

I really liked MacGyver. As a teenage girl, I enjoyed not onlyhis cuteness but his extraordinary ability to escape any jam

and certain death by creatively assemblying the contents ofhis pockets. This brilliant, quick-thinking secret agent nevereven carried a gun. Ever!

Now, for the first time, you too can reap the benefits ofMacGyver's vast scientific knowledge. Download theMacGyverisms widget and learn a new trick with every pressof the forward arrow. So the next time you need to conjure upsome tear gas on the fly, you'll be prepared. (Just grab thenearest bamboo pipe, and mix some ash with alcohol, ofcourse!)

Though this widget can most certainly be classified asbloody useless, you never know when it might save your hide!I mean, who knew that you could use rosary beads to focussunlight thus triggering a slingshot?!

Thanks to Nanther for sending along such entertainingwidget goodness :)

Happy Anniversary toAMUG!Next year our computer club turns 25! Yes, it’s true —

AMUG is as old as the Mac itself. Over the coming year we’llhave a variety of events and festivities to celebrate this incred-ible milestone. One thing we are doing right away is holdinga new logo contest. While the peach with the bite has servedas well for many years, it either needs a serious facelight orwe need a whole new motif. What do you think? Design yourentries electronically and send them on into AMUG. The win-ner will get a great prize!

Club NewsBirthdays and Other Fun Stuff

By Todd DanielNewsletter DirectorTo get the “total experience” of your Mac computer hobby,

I strongly encourage you to subscribe to a magazine.At one time there were quite a few Mac titles, but the two

most popular now appear to be Mac|Life and Macworld. Thefollowing is my humble assessment of both publications:

Mac|LifeFormerly known as MacAddict, this title has come a long

way. Under its previous name, the magazine was too full ofsophomoric stuff and had too much emphasis on gaming, soI had to let it go. But then the magazine reinvented itself and

Mac|Life is muchbetter. Okay, themagazine stillappears gearedtoward male ado-lescents who neverleave their rooms,but there are a lotof things I like.Mainly, I like thetutorials includedin each issue,which always teachme something new.“The Ask” section,which covers tech-

nical support, is also always full of helpful morsels.

MacworldA long-time favorite, Macworld pro-

vides a lot of no nonsense information. Ithas a nice slant toward working profes-sionals and has really good news cover-age. My favorite part of the magazine is

“Secrets,” the“how to” sectionthat covers work-ing professionals,music, digital pho-tography, and tech-nical topics. Oh,and the Help Desksection in the backis great too, andcovers both hintsand Q&A.

SummaryI keep every copy

of Macworld thatI’ve ever received on a special shelf. They are sacred to me.Mac|Life is now so good that I’m keeping every copy of it too.As far as a recommendation, it’s a dead heat. Each monthBOTH magazine will teach you a few new shortcuts, tricks,and show you the latest shareware. The biggest choice you’llneed to make is determining which one goes on the night-stand and which one goes in the powder room. Personally, Ihave resorted to a rotating system.

DiscountsBut wait ... there’s more. One of your many benefits as an

AMUG member is that you can get a user group discount onboth publications. For AMUGers, Mac|Life offers a 40% dis-count off the basic subscription price and Macworld willknock $13 off their annual subscription rate. For details, visitMember Special Offers on the AMUG forums.

OverviewIf you are overwhelmed with notebooks filled with

recipes and cannot manage to keep track of the recipesthat you have available, then The Recipe Manager (TRM)is for you. This program allows you to manage your port-folio of recipes by providing a database that tags the attrib-utes of each item. As expected, each recipe contains a listof ingredients and a set of instructions. Each recipe entryalso contains additional information that can be usefulwhen preparing the dish, including variations of the dish,nutritional information, serves and preparation time. Thetool also provides a mechanism to easily import recipesstored in MasterCook format. It also simplifies the impor-tation of recipe from a variety of sources, such as web sitesand files. TRM also provides the capability to do meal plan-ning by connecting recipes and then scheduling the meals.It can take ingredients and create shopping lists that aretied to a particular store.

RequirementsG4 or higher with 1GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4 or higher,

CD-ROM drive and 125MB free hard disk space. Minimummonitor resolution of 1024 x 768. Cost: $39.95.

In UseWhen the application is first launched, you are present-

ed with window shown below. This window provides a listof all of the recipes that are available in the database withthe "Recipe" button selected. Each column heading can beclicked to sort the recipes by the selected column heading.The upper right hand corner contains a search field, whichallows the chef to identify recipes that meet certain crite-ria. The magnifying glass icon can be clicked to selectother criteria, such as Source or category.The right side of the window contains two tabbed panels.

The top panel initially shows the list of ingredients for theselected recipe. The information can be changed to showmetadata about the recipe, such as the source or web siteit was obtained from. The staging tab provides informationregarding items that can or should be prepared inadvance, such as marinating or brining meat. The varia-tions tab provides a freeform text area that can be used todescribe ingredient or process changes that can be intro-duced to emphasize different flavors or textures for the

dish. The final tab provides a location to store nutritionalinformation regarding the dish, which can be generatedwithin the program using information from the USDANutrient Database Values.The bottom panel initially provides the instruction for

preparing the dish. The other tabs display other attributesregarding the dish such as a picture, background informa-tion or related recipes. If the display for the "Picture" tab,contains a zoom button for a close up shot of the dish.Another tab shows the number of servings and preparationtime for the dish. The final tab shows additional metadataregarding the dish.At the bottom of the window, a number of buttons are

displayed. On the right, the "Show/Hide Meals" button tog-gles a panel that shows the meals that are associated withthis dish. Moving to the left, the next three buttons are usedto add, edit or delete the selected recipe. Each of these but-tons work as expected by either creating an empty item oropening an existing recipe for changes. The editingprocess is straightforward and operates like a standardtext editor.

SummaryThe Recipe Manager (TRM) is a full-featured recipe

manager, which also supports sophisticated meal plan-ning. It simplifies the management of your recipes, whilemaintaining sufficient information to easily find the infor-mation that you need to prepare nutritious meals.Unfortunately like many other tools of this nature, it stillrequires discipline and time to modify your process.

Yes, you get hungry just installing this program! The Mac Guildgives it five stars — of course, those are chocolate cookiestars with white frosting.


The RumorsAre True!Our former newsletter direc-tor and long-time talentedcolumnist Martha Shannonwill be back starting inAugust.

By Susan JosephWhile working on a recent Excel document project, I real-

ized I needed to have the first 2 rows of the doc-ument repeated at the beginning of each sheet ofa very long document. I knew how to freezethose rows so that they would always appear atthe top. Unfortunately, I realized that that onlyworked if the document was viewed on the com-puter but not when it was printed. So I askedfor help from AMUG forums. Luckily I found a simple solu-tion using the HELP menu before hearing from anyone withthe forums. Christina offered her advise and then suggestedthat I write my solution to the dilemma for the newsletter. Sohere it is.

For a detailed description of the “how to” go to the HELPmenu and put “Print headings or labels for rows andcolumns on every page” into the search box. The topic willcome up as a choice. Here is a brief summary of the process:

• Under Format Palette choose Page Setup, click on “Print

Titles” in the Setup section.

• A box for the number of row(s) to be repeated willappear. Select the row(s) you want to berepeated. The numbers of the row(s) andcell(s) to be repeated will appear in the box.Click OK and it’s done. . (The instructions sayto pick the row below the desired row but that’snot how it worked for me.) The same can sup-posedly be done for columns. I haven’t tried it

on columns just rows.

I hope this helps someone else who might wish to duplicatethis process with less trouble than I had.
