So long, dark black glossy design of March. The Cocoia Blog april design is here! Expect a black and white theme switcher soon, as I am just too lazy and occupied to do that right now. What strikes me most right now is how legible my blog has become with this black on white scheme. Like it? Dislike it? Give me a line.

Rest in peace, March Design.

digg this!

It’s a mobile world, and your Macbook goes just about anywhere. Sometimes, you just leave it on the desk at your workplace, or at home. Sometimes, you leave it on. Sometimes you don’t. There is always some chance that your attention isn’t on your portable. Theft could easily occur.

iSight Expert isn’t a countermeasure for theft. It’s a range of tools anyone can use to their advantage. Many Macs come with a built-in iSight, but lack tools to use it in a more unorthodox way.

Want to use your iMac as a motion alarm?
– Want to keep a timelapse of how you look?
– Do you want to know where your employees are?
– Do you want a picture taken at a failed login?

iSight Expert can not only do all those things, but also export a customized application for you that you can install on any iSight-equipped Mac, and will function as you have defined it;

* Send Emails with it’s Geographic location and images.
* Securely upload recent images and data to a web server
* Make a movie of a month’s or week’s images
* Take images at startup, login, logout, wakeup, failed passwords, or motion.
* Act on a change of images or a face in the camera (e.g. run a script, play a song)

And there is much more. iSight Expert can organise the sent images of all your equipped Macs, put them online automatically for you, or print them. In it’s slick interface, you can see at what date, and at what location the image was taken. It’s Growl enabled, meaning you can get nifty little dialogues when you get a new image.

A beta-test is opening soon. Leave a comment, or email me to enter consideration. edit; I have had a lot of replies. I still need beta testers who have access to, and are able to test, a different application on OS X server. If you have both, be sure to email.

Updates planned today will be postponed to another date. Check back via email or comments.

Well well, it seems like my wordpress blog is working. Anyhow, I got some things to shoot. The website’s coming, that’s no secret, and I quickly put together this blog to keep everyone informed. Also, I can spout about my projects here that I am currently occupied with. It’s a rush lately, and I’ve been feeling sick for a long time. I won’t bother you with such complaints from my personal life too often, because I don’t feel like turning this into a diary.

I was really happy to be able to talk to Paul a few days back. Unien was such a great time, I really hope we can one day bring back the memories and start over again. I am sure we all got a lot to do and have changed considerably — but it is feverishly hard to find people who think equally about design.
