Back in November 2011 “Amazon” had the Blue Yeti Mike on sale for $80. Which is why you’re not hearing the Okie Twang of George from Tulsa, but output from Narrator at, a Mac program that turns scripts into audio files. The problem I need to solve is I don’t have a microphone. George from Tulsa sent me in a recording a few weeks ago that I just couldn’t squeeze in so let’s listen to it now.Īllison likes to begin her reviews by describing a problem to be solved. Go have a listen to one of our favorite people. It’s not up in iTunes as of when I’m talking to you, but there’s a link you can copy and manually subscribe in your podcatcher of choice, and soon enough they’ll approve the podcast in iTunes as well. I’m really excited myself to go listen – in this first episode Bart is joined by Steve Stanger, Gary Malpas (aka Gazmaz), and Adam Christianson. The wait is over, the maiden episode of Let’s Talk Apple is up over at lets-talk.ie. I put a link in the shownotes to MacJury 13181 so you can go watch! And don’t think I’m at ALL jealous that Steve made it onto MacJury before I did… Let’s Talk PodcastsĪ few weeks ago Bart teased you with the announcement that he’s starting two new podcasts – Let’s Talk Apple and Let’s Talk Photography. Now it’s just possible I’m a tad biased of course, you be the judge. He says he’s more comfortable being behind the camera but I think he was awesome. This was Steve’s video debut and I think he did a great job. This week, Chuck Joiner of MacVoices had a panel on his show, MacJury to talk about the new iPhone 5s and he invited our very own Steve Sheridan to be on the panel. The shownotes have links to a ton of photos we took so you can see for yourself and decide whether our final assessment was fair. The audio is only 13 minutes long, so we’re going to have a bunch of discussion and reviews before that. Steve shot a video of Robert and me for the LA Times article Robert was writing, and I’m going to embed that video into the shownotes and the audio version into the show in place of Chit Chat Across the Pond. We spent another day on it and finally finished late this week. ![]() Last week I told you about how Steve and I and Robert Lachman were working on an epic Smartphone Camera Shootout. This week’s show is going to be a bit different. And while I’m thanking people, I’d like to thank Frank Vos for pointing out a typo in the download link on AND telling me what needed to be corrected! I love you guys helping me out, keep it coming! Speaking of show numbers, last week I mislabeled the show number as 436 for the 2nd week in a row, and many thanks to Nick, aka for being the early warning system on Sunday so I could fix it before most people were confused. Today is Sunday Septemand this is show number 438. Hi this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Mac Podcast, hosted at, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Macintosh bias. In Chit Chat Across the Pond you’ll hear and watch the long awaited Smartphone Camera Shootout. I review Prizmo 3 from Creaceed and iThoughtsX from .uk. Steve Sheridan got to be on the Mac Jury with Chuck Joiner (before me), and Let’s Talk Apple launches with Bart Busschots at lets-talk.ie. ![]()

![]() The company sells a wide variety of guitars and also offers a handful of free guitar sample libraries. Pettinhouse is a project by Andrea Pettinao. You can download DSK Dynamic Guitars here. This is a quick introduction to the instrument: You can get Ample Guitar M II Lite on the Ample Sound website. What more can you ask for in a free guitar? There are so many fully functioning knobs and switches in this free plugin that I didn’t manage to get to all of them in my 45 minutes of playing around with it. Note that you are limited to the first four frets of each string when you’re using the lite version. If you also use Guitar Pro Tab, you can even import your tabs into Ample Guitar M II Lite. This quickly helped me create more realistic arpeggios. One of my favorite features is the doubling switch, which adds width to the instrument in an instant.Īnother particular useful feature of Ample Guitar M II Lite is that it shows you which string corresponds to the note you’re playing. Additionally, there are a bunch of effects and features available to change the tone. The strummer makes it super easy to build patterns out of single notes, up and down strokes and mutes. The samples sound full and lively and can be triggered directly through MIDI (or your DAW) as well as through a built-in sequencer, the “strummer.” This doesn’t prevent Ample Guitar M II Lite from being the best sounding (non-Kontakt) acoustic guitar in this list, though. ![]() The Ample Guitar M II series aims “to bring the Martin D-41 Acoustic Guitar sound to your studio.” Luckily for us, the company also released a free lite version of the instrument, which comes with a reduced sample rate, fewer articulations and features and a lower sample count than the original (by now, version III has been released already). Ample Sound is a Beijing-based company that has been creating guitar and bass VSTs since 2011. ![]() ![]() All these variants offer heavy-duty floor protection, but they have some differences between them.īoth X-Board and RAM boards are packed with superior features allowing them to protect various surfaces in paint and remodeling job sites. RAM Board, RAM Board Plus, and RAM Board Home Edition are the three variants. But in contrast, the RAM board is available in three different variants. Trimaco produces only one variant of its job site floor protection board, the X-Board.

You will be able to draw the differentiation between them and make your decision. In this article, you’ll know the differences between X-Board and RAM board. But you need only one: the best of the bests. RAM board reviews? It will give you proper insight.įrankly speaking, both of them are high-performing protection boards. Let me take a wild guess you need a protection board for paint and remodeling. I am attaching the old files used to do this.Are you planning forward to scale up your surface protection game? Perhaps someone with a bit more knowledge of modern programming can point me in the right direction. And the ability to send the data back to the chip. I like to build a programmer that would be able to plug into a usb port, read the content of the ram then save it. But I like to build something that is modern to work with today's computers. What this is all about? I am not the best when it comes to designing programmers. It worked OK for reading the content of the ram. The programmer uses a CD4040, a 7805 regulator and a couple of caps. ![]() This was a dos base programmer that using the parallel port on you old pc. Not bad no? Anyway years ago I was able to read the memory out of one of these boards for the IC-745, This was by using the N2CBU DIY programmer. A few folks have made a non volatile replacement board to solve this problem. If not done correctly you lose the memory, again you end up with a brick. The battery has a life of about 7 years but can be changed out. When the battery goes dead on these boards the factory program is lost and your radio becomes a brick. Some of the older Icom HF radios use a RAM board that holds the factory memory like the IC-745 and IC-751. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is not that difficult but it is an extra step. ![]() If you want to associate your media manager application with Kodi (this is a good idea) then you will need to download it and set it up. It does offer an incredible amount of features though. The only problem is that if you want the premium version it actually costs more than FileBot. I think that the Media Center Master is one of the best FileBot alternatives. If you want to organize your image files as well as your media files then the Advanced Renamer is a good choice. ![]() It is great that there are a number of free alternatives available now that FileBot has started to charge. I enjoyed playing around and testing these FileBot alternatives. The Final Verdict on FileBot Alternatives The free version is very good but the premium version has a lot more functionality. Media Center Manager will scrape information from a number of sources such as the Open Movie Database, the TV Database, IMDB, and various torrent sites. All you have to do is to select the folder for each type of file and then choose your naming convention. I liked the way that Media Center Manager works in dynamic mode to update your media files when you add new ones. You can integrate this application fully with Kodi which makes things a lot easier. The free options above will do a pretty good job but if you are serious about organizing your media files then you need to take a look at Media Center Master. Media Center Master is a serious FileBot alternative. I decided to find and play around with similar applications and so I bring to you the X best FileBot alternatives. You can use a single license on different computers.įileBot is good and it is a very popular application but there are others around that do a similar job. A one-year universal license is $6 or you can go for a perpetual license at $48. It is good to have a standard way of naming your files as this will make it much easier for you to find them.įileBot is available for both Windows and Mac computers and you will need to purchase a license to unlock the application. You can use FileBot to customize the naming of your media files. You will be able to choose from a number of online data sources. When you use FileBot it will look at all of your media files and search for the correct titles based on your preferred data source. One of the great things about FileBot is that you can download any available cover art for your media files and subtitles too if these are available. Any help will be very appreciated.įirst of all I would suggest you to upgrade your dependecies to the latest version of the Spring Boot framework, if applicable.īesides, independently from the version you're using, the class you're missing is contained into this dependency: īut remember that all Spring Boot dependencies rely on Spring framework transitive dependencies, so check in your IDE's dependency hierarchy panel if they are present.ĭepending on the way you're deploying your application you must be sure that all dependencies are available at runtime.FileBot is a popular application that brings order to your video files.

Many of the copiers and MFPs in use today require periodic updates to their drivers and TLS versions. By requiring authentication prior to printing from an MFP, your organization can maintain logs of all activity, enabling you to monitor and audit access to PHI. There is another important benefit, though. The first benefit of such measures is obvious: it prevents the wrong people from getting at patients’ confidential information. Many devices allow for authentication prompts to guarantee that only authorized personnel can print from MFPs that have access to PHI. #5: Use Authentication for Secure Printing That means not allowing documents to sit unattended and/or destroying physical copies of documents when they are no longer needed. If you do choose to print out paper documents, though, make sure your staff is trained to handle them with extreme care. Secure cloud fax also makes it easy to send and receive using an MFP. The great thing about a secure cloud fax service is that it’s so versatile, allowing for conveniences like fax-to-email or browser-based transmission and receipt. Many companies rely on HIPAA compliant cloud fax to send and receive information. #4: Handle Paper Documents with Appropriate Care By applying physical and technical security measures to the hard drive on your copier or MFP, you can avoid these kinds of risks. Many HIPAA violations occur when information is inadvertently left on hard drives or other devices, without proper attention to destroying the data when it is no longer needed. If you’re using an MFP that includes its own hard drive, be sure that it is fully secured. By preventing users from making untraceable electronic copies, you can avoid at risk altogether. That exposes you to risk of a potential HIPAA violation. At that point, your organization has no control over what happens to the information. By disabling access to these ports, covered entities can protect against incidents in which an electronic copy of PHI may be copied to a portable device. Most MFP’s include USB ports, SD card slots, or other means of inserting removable storage media. #2: Disable the Use of Removable Media in your MFP Many healthcare facilities locate MFPs in locked rooms or back offices that are only accessible to approved staff. #1: Restrict Physical Access To Your MFPĪccess to any device that transmits, receives, or stores protected health information (PHI) should be restricted, such that only authorized users can access that information. By following the following simple guidelines, you can ensure that the information that you send and receive via your MFP is kept fully secure and confidential. This article will address the key steps required to ensure that you’re using your MFP in a manner that fully complies with the HIPAA Privacy Rule. That includes your multifunction printer (MFP).
