When the mouse hovers over a CD, for example, controls will fade up, allowing music on the CD to be played within the app. In the upcoming version of Delicious Library, due around the holidays, direct manipulation of virtual books and CDs will be a key part of the app. But Core Animation will enable programmers to create simple, intuitive interfaces that will make direct manipulation possible on the desktop. So far, the direct manipulation interface paradigm has been restricted to experimental projects or high-end 3-D apps. It's already introduced so many new ideas to our lexicon."

Update: Phill Ryu responds and I clarify some points.In theses devices, animation is the key to their operation, allowing direct manipulation of objects on the screen. MacHeist supports MacHeist’s staff extremely well, but it’s not a way to support its applications’ developers. I believe in supporting software developers by paying full price for their applications. I refuse to purchase MacHeist for the same reason I respectfully decline license discounts or App Store freebie coupon-codes from other developers (that I occasionally receive because of my roles in Tumblr and Instapaper): Why seek discounts on something that you want to support and that you believe is already a great value? For example, given that I make all of my living by using TextMate, and it was developed entirely by Allan Odgaard over (probably) thousands of hours, it would be ridiculous for me to haggle its €39 price. Most software is an incredibly good deal, especially the applications that you use every day or as part of your business. Their compliance with the MacHeist deal is irrelevant. Therefore, you’re not really supporting these developers: you’re telling them that you don’t value their work enough to pay full price, but you’re going to use their software anyway. Yes you can.Ĭall it what it is: You’re willingly accepting a license that will result in the developer earning almost no money. An Unreasonable Price: “This would never be worth its price to me, so I’d otherwise just pirate it or go without it, so at least they’re getting some money from me.” (You may be able to justify this for Photoshop, but it’s not a very strong argument against the list prices for MacHeist software.).The Drop-in-the-Bucket: “They’ll never miss my money because they’re a huge faceless corporation and they make tons of money.” (But these are tiny companies or individuals, they don’t make tons of money, and they will miss yours.).You could rationalize this in the usual ways: ![]() And while you may feel that you gave a fair price (through MacHeist) to the developer who charges $50 for that program, I can assure you that you didn’t. So, in most cases, you can be pretty sure that it wasn’t worthwhile for that application’s developer to sell you that license. (That’s why there are so few repeat participants.) While there may be an occasional outlier, the majority of MacHeist’s developers aren’t seeing a net gain from this, but they don’t usually realize that until afterward. Most developers, like most people, are terrible negotiators and are inclined to undervalue themselves (and overvalue hype). Their developers can tell themselves that it’s a good deal and it’s worth eating the discount to gain exposure.īut most developers aren’t as good at marketing, negotiation, or hype as Phill Ryu. You can tell yourself that you’re supporting their developers. You’re getting copies of software that feel like the real thing. I apologize for the inaccurate original claims - they’re not part of my argument.)īuying the MacHeist bundle is the real problem. ![]() (I’ve edited this paragraph to be more accurate. Enough has been written on that debate that I won’t get into it here. Some developers appreciate the deal afterward while others regret it. The developers are promised “exposure” to offset the reduced revenues and the cost of the large influx of support email and other per-user costs (plus some non-obvious problems such as perceived value dilution). Ryu’s pitch to developers is straightforward: agree to sell a large quantity of licenses at a very low price. It’s the usual Phill Ryu publicity stunt that will result in a bunch of blog attention, a few developers selling licenses at very steep discounts, and a charitable donation that downplays the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Ryu and his company will likely walk away with.

Before you make too many plans, I would go to a trailer shop/dealer and bring a tape measure with you. The deck of your trailer will almost certainly be at least 12" above the ground. I have also seen folding trailer tounges-pretty common on boat trailers, that allow you to fold the tounge away when parked. You just have to make sure your garage is pretty level to do this, or you will be chasing run-away vehicles out into the street. ![]() They also make wheel dollies/cradles for the same purpose.(think little creepers for each wheel). You can do this with some floor jacks, or they make wheel jacks (called go-jacks, I believe) for this purpose. No really, it was, and I did use it for that once when I had to go up there and fix her truck! Every time I went up there to visit, we would get some sort of notice-it was horrible!Īnyway, on a more serious note, if you go with the jacks on the back of the trailer(like the man said-use two) make sure you use wheel chocks so you don't push that trailer into your garage wall while loading your Ranger on to it! (here might be a good use finally for that gi-normas book of rules they gave you!)Īlso, you might be able to put the Ranger and/or the trailer sideways in the garage. My girlfriend used to own a house in a gated community with a book of by-laws that was big enough to use as a wheel chock. Move to a cooler neighborhood with fewer constricting rules! So am I doomed to not be able to get a ranger? It'd be a shame since this purchase was wife-sanctioned and we know how rare that is with toys like these. That'd be less than 20', but I forgot about the tongue of the trailer. I thought maybe I'd put the trailer in the garage (6x10) and then put the ranger in right in front of it. So, any ideas? I originally thought I might be able to put the trailer in the garage and then drive the ranger onto it inside the garage, but then I realized that the trailer would tilt and not allow me to do that. Somehow I don't think it'll be quite that low. I know the ranger is 75" tall according to the specs on the website, so that means the surface of the trailer must be at 8" or lower. ![]() One trailer outfit was wrecked in a highway mixup and the driver of this.

The park service doesn’t publicize it, but many people participate in nude sun bathing at isolated and unprotected beaches south of the Gunnison beach parking lot. And, if you pull off the side of the road, you’re probably going to get stuck. That policy is being reviewed, though he would not say if a ban will be implemented. “As a result, we experience a greater number of problems, especially with underage drinking,” he said. Whitesell believes Sandy Hook is the only Jersey shore beach that allows consumption of alcoholic beverages. No fee is charged if you arrive before 7 a.m. Beach parking fees are $3 on weekends and holidays, $2 on weekdays, through Labor Day. The park is open from dawn to dusk every day. Whitesell said there have been no deaths at beaches with lifeguards since the park service has been at Sandy Hook. The last fatalities were two drownings in 1986. Swimming is discouraged on beaches without guards. If traffic is not heavy, you can get there from Allentown in about two hours. Sandy Hook is one of the closest shore points to the Lehigh Valley. Since parking lots are right on some beaches, those visitors may never notice poison ivy or encounter a tick. Whitesell estimated 2 million go for the beaches. Only by visiting Sandy Hook will you realize the place is not as inhospitable as it may sound.Ībout 2.2 million people do visit every year. “It does sound a little formidable,” acknowledged superintendent Stephen Whitesell. Sandy Hook also has mosquitoes and what its superintendent calls a “phenomenal tick population.” Visitors also might find old but still dangerous artillery shells or hand grenades on a beach. Its extensive root system traps wind-blown sand and allows the area to build itself up, so other plants can grow. Poison ivy is one of the first plants that grows in new sandy areas. Sandy Hook has one of the largest colonies of nesting shore birds in New Jersey and its holly forest is one of the largest on the East Coast.Ībout 70 percent of the plants growing on Sandy Hook are poison ivy, according to the park service. Park officials say the public doesn’t realize Sandy Hook is part of the national park system, with rangers just like those who work at places like Yellowstone, Yosemite and Grand Canyon. ![]() |
