![]() However, what has revolutionized virtual conferencing is VoIP (voice over internet protocol) and WebRTC technology. The amount of people that can join the virtual room depends on the conference bridge - that is, the software - being used for the call.Ĭonference calls are nothing new, considering that the first analog call was placed as far back as 1915. So considering the logistical challenges, are face-to-face meetings still worth the extra effort, or are conference call meetings more than an adequate substitute? What Is a Conference Call Meeting?Ī conference call is an audio call that allows multiple people to join a virtual room at the same time by dialing a specific number and often inputting an access code or PIN for security. Progress or post-pandemic tragedy? It’s hard to say, but as teams spread further apart geographically, gathering everyone into one room is only getting harder. Now, however, with Gartner reporting that over half of organizations expect more than 50% of their workforce to be remote or hybrid-working this year and, as we’ve recently covered, the move to remote work showing no signs of slowing down, more and more meetings are being held virtually - with some teams never meeting in person at all. And if you needed to involve decision-makers from multiple locations, you could then choose between a conference call meeting or a large in-person session. If you needed to get your team together, you could quickly book one of the on-site meeting rooms.

![]() ![]() Yes, we did have birds nesting in there.) So in real time, it took us several phases spread out over the course of two years to entirely take the house from brown to black, including all the little snowball projects that evolved along the way. (You can see the missing stones and gaping holes closer up in the image with the new front door. It was another year before we had the porch stonework repaired where the pergola had once tied in to the house. Once the new roof was installed, we turned our attention to the front porch which was the final element we wanted to address before paint. And since we’re surrounded by trees, we had gutter guards added to prevent leaves from clogging the gutters. (Not shown here but they’re visible further down the post in the porch pictures.) We chose a dark finish to help them meld with the dark exterior vibe we were hoping to achieve. Per our roofer’s recommendation based on the slope and size of our roof, we also upgraded to oversized 6″ gutters and downspouts. As soon as it was in, it felt like it had always been there! There’s an original skylight on the backside of the house which we loved and wanted to balance out with another skylight opposite on the front of the house. ![]() We hadn’t even noticed it before! If you look closely, you’ll see that we also had our roofer install a new skylight (just above the bay window) to let more light into the living room. I couldn’t get over how the gray roof was bringing out the masonry grout of the stonework. Immediately, the stonework felt less brown. Hello warm gray roof! Even with the siding still brown, things were looking so much better. Weathered wood it was! (Apologies to the homeowners we house-creeped.) This was super helpful! We drove by the homes to see the shingle in real life (on a larger scale and in outdoor light) and it solidified our choice. But just to be sure, our roofer gave us the addresses of a few homes in our area that he had used the same shingle on recently. I kept going back to those gray shingles in the inspiration photo.Īfter checking out all the options and speaking with our roofer, we landed on the 30-year Tamko Heritage shingle in weathered wood. Metal felt too “slick” and out of place to us. 2) We really felt a dimensional shingle would give the house a softer texture that would pair well with the cedar siding, stonework, asphalt driveway and surrounding trees. Nothing that made us wish we would’ve done anything differently there, but the slope of this roof is much steeper and we anticipated more problems in the winter. 1) We had minor issues with ice damming and mini snow avalanches from the metal roof at our previous home. You know we totally considered a metal roof ( like the one at our previous house) but decided against it for two reasons. ![]() ![]() With the garage door in place, next up was the roof. It blocked light from the bay window and made for a prickly welcome to the front door…not exactly the first impression we had in mind for visitors. (Scroll up to the first image of this post to see it.) Nothing against the tree, but the placement was impractical. We also removed an awkwardly placed pine tree from the front bed. The last thing we wanted was to strip the house of its innate quirk. Our goal was to update the color scheme while paying homage to the house’s original, defining features. There were brown elements we liked (namely the ’70s stonework and funky exterior lights) but they were getting lost in a sea of brown on brown on brown. Obviously, the brown facade wasn’t a huge selling point but we saw the potential.ĭuring the inspection, we learned that the roof needed replaced and my reaction was, “Thank goodness!” (Said no other homeowner ever.) I knew switching up the roof color would go a long way in de-browning the exterior and give us more freedom in selecting a new color for the cedar siding. Brown siding, brown garage door, brown roof, brown gutters, brown stonework, brown front door, even brown exterior lights! ALL. These photos were taken nearly three years apart and a LOT has changed! As you can see, the house was once very BROWN. I snapped this picture of our house with my phone a few weekends ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the end run the setup and follow further instructions for the installation process.īelow are two images of some amazing cars from this game.It will ask for password so please visit this password page to get it.Once downloaded, extract the file in any folder you want but make sure to remember it.Click on the download button again and the game will start downloading.

This Need for Speed Underground 2 Highly Compressed is just another amazing street racing game in the NFS Series. ![]() ![]() ![]() We will go over the free plan first, then dive into what extras come with paying for a plan. Otixo has a free plan and two paid plans: Otixo Standard and Otixo Plus. Thankfully, the search tool in the work space section works as intended, so you can use it to search through sent messages and files. You can’t click on the magnifying glass, and it won’t give you any results. While there is a search tool included, we couldn’t get it to work. Files cannot be edited inside Otixo, which is another notable shortcoming. To open one of these files, you first need to move it to your Otixo cloud drive. However, for some reason, it has problems opening Google Docs files directly from the cloud drives. One of the good things about Otixo’s file manager is that it allows you to preview file types, such as images, videos and PDFs. However, you can move files from other clouds to your Otixo cloud storage. ![]() Unfortunately, you can’t manage files in your linked cloud services, or move files between them. You can share the files you have on your Otixo cloud drive and all the other cloud services you’ve connected to it across your work spaces. Otixo has a rudimentary file manager tool that you can use for basic operations, such as uploading, moving, copying and deleting files. On paid accounts, you can also export all the messages and files in a channel, as well as set up access restrictions on all the shared folders. These files can be from your Otixo personal cloud drive, or you can upload them directly from your computer. You can also share files with your members. You can add users to Otixo as members or guests. A huge omission from the cheaper paid plan is the ability to link third-party cloud services to Otixo - a feature you only get on the priciest plan.Īdding users is easy, and you can designate them as either members or guests. So, for example, all plans let you upload and share files, but only the two paid plans let you organize those files into folders. These collaboration features are largely absent from the free plan. It works similarly to Slack, though it isn’t advanced enough to be considered an alternative to Slack. In Otixo, collaboration is done through so-called “work spaces.” Here, you can create channels where you will be able to chat and have audio and video calls with your teams. We’ll talk more about these shortcomings in a later section, so here we’ll focus mostly on Otixo’s collaboration features. While it does an OK enough job in the project management department, it’s one of the least developed multi-cloud managers we’ve ever tried out. Otixo’s features can be neatly divided into two categories - the project management and collaboration portion, and the multi-cloud manager part. ![]()
![]() I have a local authorized dealer near me, but they're not exactly close by and it's not easy to get there during their opening hours, but I think that's my next bet unless someone can tell me a trick to getting the actual repair center to look at the gun again. I've heard great things about their service department, and they've been good to work with (prompt response, quick shipping, no hassles, etc) but they're just not testing the dang nail gun! I'm hesitant to send it in again because it takes a couple weeks and they don't seem to be addressing the problem. It seems like that whole area is just too loose and the striker isn't guided well enough to push the nail through which makes it slip over the nail. ![]() Best as I can tell there's something wrong with the striker guide/nail guide area, as the striker will go over and around a nail, sometimes double feeding. (I found that hard to believe, as when it DID sink nails it was doing it totally fine.) I tried it after receiving it a second time and guess what, still jammed after 4x 2" nails. I contacted them and sent it in again this time, they looked at it for a day and sent it back to me with notes that the piston assembly had low pressure and they replaced it. However,there are some jams that are so serious,that. I tried it and it still jams with longer nails. Usually,you can clear a jam by pulling the charging handle back again,as if you are charging the gun again. With a non-slip handle and dual-mode power switch to. ![]() I sent it in and got it back with a note that the nail pusher assembly spring needed adjustment and that they tweaked it. The 48221010 Staple and Nail Gun from Milwaukee has an all metal construction and Jam-Free Magazine. I submitted a warranty claim to Milwaukee and they accepted it right away. I've tried both Porter Cable and Senco nails both jam *very* frequently. 1" and under, it shoots fine, but 1.5" or 2" nails jam every 5th nail or so. I have a Gen 2 18 gage brad nailer (couple years old) that's consistently jamming on nails longer than 1". ![]() ![]() ![]()

We finally get to meet Jae-suk’s teammate at the train station-none other than actor Ryu Seung-soo ( Wonderful Season), who asks two very important questions: “Do they feed us?” “Where are we going?” I like how you think, sir.Įven though we’ve got a seemingly random group of guests this time around, it’s nice to see that our pairings generally get along. When it looks like the traffic might hold them up, Gary uplifts the mood by joking that they’ll take any train and stand if they have to. It’s pretty heartwarming to see Sang-hwa open up to Gary about the surmounting stress and rigorous training as an athlete, and then equally touching to see how empathetic Gary is to those experiences. She shares about the pressures of defending her Olympic gold at Sochi and her teammates’ discouragement at having to go home without a medal. In the taxi, Gary says he saw all of Sang-hwa’s meets, which he recalls in detail. It’s only when they’re gone however does Kwang-soo remind his teammate that it’s each team for itself, to which Joo-hwan realizes, “Ah, this is how you betray people.” Though he’s momentarily thrown off when the mystery guest answers in (limited) English, he then recognizes the man’s laughter, and exclaims: “This guy is a bit of a show-off.”Īs the teams depart, Kwang-soo toots to Haha that they’re all in this together. Jae-suk calls his teammate to let him know when and where to meet. After choosing different means of transportation and picking up monetary allowances for the day, our teams hurry to make their flights/trains/buses.Īrriving first to their destination will mean a huge advantage, and the last-place team could face punishment. With seven teams to keep track of, I can already tell that today’s Sensibility Camping Race will be a hectic one. Last but not least, Jae-suk’s mysterious teammate will join in later today. Goodness, poor Ji-hyo looks as haggard and exhausted as can be, though she’s alert enough to recognize Dong-joon (they were both in Mandate of Heaven). And it looks like luck is on Gary’s side today again, as he’s teamed up with national speed skater Lee Sang-hwa.Įveryone is so excited to meet the two-time Olympian that ZE:A’s Kim Dong-joon‘s entrance nearly goes unnoticed he’ll be paired with yet-to-arrive Ji-hyo.Īs they wait, Haha comments that Gary is well-suited for women who like gold-Sang-hwa has two Olympic gold medals to her name while Ji-hyo probably has a whole room dedicated to her amassed golden prizes. Then there’s Kim Min-jong ( A Gentleman’s Dignity), who we haven’t seen on this show since its first Christmas special. That segues into introducing today’s guests: first up is actor Im Joo-hwan ( Watch Out for Fools), who momentarily backs away from his teammate Kwang-soo actress Kim Jung-nan ( Thrice Married Woman), who’s looking sorta matchy with Suk-jin Oh Man-seok ( King’s Family), who’s also looking matchy with Haha. ![]() Each cast member will be teamed up with one of our guests, and the boys take a moment to remark on Gary’s luck with the ladies (“He got to go visit a women’s university!”) whereas Kwang-soo isn’t as lucky. We kick off today’s episode at the SBS building, where Jong-kook affirms that he already had breakfast this morning (at 4AM, of course). But when you wonder who will having you rolling on the ground laughing all night, the answer may just surprise you. Sure it’s totally hectic when you’ve got fourteen people all trying to catch a minute of airtime, with new and old faces alike.

Adobe's fiscal years run from December to November. Its revenue has grown from roughly $1 billion in 1999 to $4 billion in 2012. Illustrator, which grew from the firm's in-house font-development software, helped popularize PostScript-enabled laser printers.Īdobe entered the NASDAQ Composite index in August 1986. In the mid-1980s, Adobe entered the consumer software market with Illustrator, a vector-based drawing program for the Apple Macintosh. Apple subsequently developed a competing standard, TrueType, which provided full scalability and precise control of the pixel pattern created by the font's outlines, and licensed it to Microsoft. Īdobe's first products after PostScript were digital fonts which they released in a proprietary format called Type 1, worked on by Bill Paxton after he left Stanford. Warnock described the language as "extensible" in its ability to apply graphic arts standards to office printing. By 1987, PostScript had become the industry-standard printer language with more than 400 third-party software programs and licensing agreements with 19 printer companies. They weren't able to work with Compugraphic, but then worked with Linotype to license the Helvetica and Times Roman fonts (through the Linotron 100). Warnock and Geschke were also able to bolster the credibility of PostScript by connecting with a typesetting manufacturer. Adobe added kanji printer products in 1988. PostScript was the first truly international standard for computer printing as it included algorithms describing the letter-forms of many languages. Then they chose to focus on developing specialized printing software and created the Adobe PostScript page description language. Warnock and Geschke considered various business options including a copy-service business and a turnkey system for office printing. The purchase and advance made Adobe the first company in the history of Silicon Valley to become profitable in its first year. Jobs paid a five-times multiple of their company's valuation at the time, plus a five-year license fee for PostScript, in advance. ![]() Their investors urged them to work something out with Jobs, so they agreed to sell him shares worth 19 percent of the company. Steve Jobs attempted to buy the company for $5 million in 1982, but Warnock and Geschke refused. In 2020, the company updated its visual identity, including updating its logo to a single color, an all-red logo. Adobe's corporate logo features a stylized "A" and was designed by graphic designer Marva Warnock, John Warnock's wife. That creek is so named because of the type of clay found there (Adobe being a Spanish word for Mudbrick), which alludes to the creative nature of the company's software. The name of the company, Adobe, comes from Adobe Creek in Los Altos, California, a stream which ran behind Warnock's house. The company was started in John Warnock's garage. It also has major development operations in Noida and Bangalore in India. Adobe also has major development operations in the United States in Newton, New York City, Arden Hills, Lehi, Seattle, Austin and San Francisco. Adobe later developed animation and multimedia through its acquisition of Macromedia, from which it acquired Macromedia Flash video editing and compositing software with Adobe Premiere, later known as Adobe Premiere Pro low-code web development with Adobe Muse and a suite of software for digital marketing management.Īs of 2022, Adobe has more than 26,000 employees worldwide. In 1985, Apple Computer licensed PostScript for use in its LaserWriter printers, which helped spark the desktop publishing revolution. Īdobe was founded in December 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, who established the company after leaving Xerox PARC to develop and sell the PostScript page description language. The company also expanded into digital marketing software and in 2021 was considered one of the top global leaders in Customer Experience Management (CXM). Adobe offered a bundled solution of its products named Adobe Creative Suite, which evolved into a subscription software as a service (SaaS) offering named Adobe Creative Cloud. Its flagship products include Adobe Photoshop image editing software Adobe Illustrator vector-based illustration software Adobe Acrobat Reader and the Portable Document Format (PDF) and a host of tools primarily for audio-visual content creation, editing and publishing. It has historically specialized in software for the creation and publication of a wide range of content, including graphics, photography, illustration, animation, multimedia/video, motion pictures, and print.

Not sure how to go about sharing the file and have to see how it looks in.

If I find someone that has access to providing the info, it will be provided. Currently I am using PhotoScape X Pro and have been creating a Libre Office 7.2.2 user manual/tutorial because there is very little available to learn the program. I’m happy with Darktable, and combined with Photoscape X Pro, it’s perfect for getting the things done I need to do, and I need to remember that!ĭT is not a program I have used but have used MS Digital Image 2006, ON1, Luminar, Affinity Photo, Photolemur etc. I have used many other packages on my computer from Luminar, Aurora, Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One and more, all with no performance issues or major bugs. Of course, it’s strange that ON1 is so good, yet suffers with so many issues. It’s been a joy to get back to Darktable and do what I love doing best. Using a development version of Darktable () has proved more stable, much faster and given more control over the images, with no issues in editing, masking or saving. The strange thing is, with each new update, something gets fixed, and something that worked fails! It’s a never ending battle that just takes up too much time, and time is money! I don’t seem to be alone with this, various groups I’m in have people having endless issues. ![]() Slow saving – Saving images is possibility slow, and can takes minutes per image saved.Saved images corrupt – If you’ve used layers, quite often a saved image doesn’t save correctly.Batch saving issues – When batch selecting images to save, they sometimes simply refuse to save any actual images, even though it’s gone through the process.Image blacking out – When moving certain sliders in various modules, the image you’re working on sometimes blacks out for no reason.Unacceptable complete crashes – ON1 has a habit of just randomly crashing on my computer when I just expect it.As soon as you start using masks (which I do quite often), things can grind to a halt. ![]() Sluggish once you get started – At first, ON1 feels really fast, but after a while, the program just feels sluggish.Here are just a few of the many issues I ran into that made me leave it (and I will only use it for certain things if needed). Thirdly, but by no means lastly, it’s feature packed, and you rarely have to use another image processor to finish it off.ĭarktable has all those things I mentioned about ON1, however, I’m sometimes a bit heavy handed with sliders, and Darktable doesn’t allow as much room for error as it’s got a lot of power under its hood, and this was frustrating me! That’s why I find ON1 slightly easier to use when flying through images and editing them.īut, I’m back with Darktable, not just because it’s an excellent program, but because ON1 kept giving me no end of grief, making simple tasks harder than they needed to be. You have access to all your images, can compare them etc and if makes the workflow so much easier for myself (I’m a fan of these views). Secondly, the cataloguing, light table view is perfect. Usually, a few little slides of the sliders can bring out the details you need, quickly and easily! After all, they’re commercial software, so should be amazing compared to free software! Over a month ago I decided to live full-time with ON1 2022, but I’m back to Darktable, and here’s why…īefore we get into why I am back with Darktable, there are a few reasons I actually love using ON1 editing software.įirstly, the way it handles shadows, mid-tones and highlights is really impressive. I’ve been a longtime user of Darktable, but there are spells where I decide I’m going to use the paid for software that I own as my main editing packages. ![]() |
