]]> Comment on Import your images from Aperture into Lightroom by Stefan Simonsen http://automatica.com.au/2011/01/import-your-images-from-aperture-into-lightroom/#comment-529 Stefan Simonsen Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:28:56 +0000 http://automatica.com.au/?p=592#comment-529 There's a better and easier way - just "relocate" the files within aperture and use the settings for "save files in folders with name of project". Then you should have all your original (raw-)files on the hard drive sorted into folders named by project. If you, like me, named them like "110213 - blablabla" and nested in yearly folders then it would be no bummer to drag all the folders into lightroom and let the files on the hard drive externally from lightroom. So you have saved a lot of time because you have not to rename all of your folders and search for the files - instead you see the right folder names in the LR folders bar ;-) There’s a better and easier way – just “relocate” the files within aperture and use the settings for “save files in folders with name of project”.

MATTEL was the toughest one but the M was the give away for me. Our tghyorappy teacher used to give us quizes just like this one in class, so ive been pretty brainwashed into noticing most subtle differences between both. You gotta look our for; a, C, c, e, G, g, J, j R, r, S, and s. That was awesome though, going to share with my collegues for sure. Kerri June 28th 20/20 yaaay.

My friend got a Galaxy Tab on Telstra. He thought reception sucked and so was data speed. Turns out it was also stuck on the 3TELSTRA 2100MHz network instead of the 850MHz network. Fortunately he was able to use the dialler to get into the band selection and chose 850MHz only. After a reboot, he registered on the Telstra Mobile network, the data speeds went up and reception issues have gone away. Looks like the 7in Galaxy Tab may not be prone to this issue.2. Another friend accidentally smashed the screen on his Galaxy S. When he took it for repair, he found that replacing the screen also means replacing the antenna and radio modules since they are all moulded together as one unit and board (with the computer part being the separate PCB board). When he got the screen replaced, they did so with the part used in the I-9000T instead of the 850MHz crippled I-9000 hardware, and now his phone can access the Telstra 850MHz band. The repair/replacement costs $150-$200 which is FAR less than the cost of a new phone.Still, poor form from Samsung and the Australian mobile carriers but we've come to expect such shady tactics in this greedy corporate world.

Just in case you (or anyone else) are still having the 'software update' nagging issue, you can tell system to ignore specific updates from the 'Update' menu within the Sofware Update application. Now I just have to get my airport express back on track and I can get back to the nice wireless printing solution I had in place 3 years ago...

I don't know how to uninstall it as I have made the situation worse. I would appreciate if you can advise me how to perform the following: If you’re wanting to do it manually here’s an one-liner to execute in the terminal: sudo /sbin/route delete 10.0.0.0/8 what is the exact command ?
