Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Chatty Co-Worker was telling me about the Inkling today, since it's relevant to his interests.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's a shame the Inkling doesn't somehow magically manage erasing, since I'm not the best at pen drawing, but it would work pretty well inking over pencil, wouldn't it? It looks great.

LeN, remind me to ask you what you think of the Jot. Will you be using it on an iPad? On which application?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes, definitely the ipad.

I like Notes Plus on the ipad, or penultimate, or Notability or Noteshelf. I might try Ghostwriter Notes.

I just bought Sketchbook Pro ($2.99! That's almost free!) and am quite excited to see what I can do with it. But with my current stylus, it's a bit like trying to trace with a stick of chalk.

Anyone have a recommendation for an Android comic book reader? I want to try grabbing a few now that DC is going same day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ok, this is a new one for me - I was trying to switch my Mac monitor with another display I had sitting around (basically trying to get rid of one monitor on my desk by combining the Mac monitor with a studio display) and couldn't get it to work properly. Now I've switched back to the old Mac monitor, and for some reason my computer thinks (a) there are two displays connected and (b) the "television" is the primary one. So I can't see the dock or the toolbar at the top of the screen, and when I open System Preferences, it opens in the other (nonexistant) monitor so I can't get to it. (Scrolling off the side of the screen and clicking/dragging blindly has so far yielded nothing.)

Help?

Ok, managed to drag System Prefs into the display window.

Was able to get the dock and the toolbar back by turning on display mirroring.

Unfortunately, it's still detecting 2 displays. WTF?

I've decided to turn it off for a while and let it stew.

open up system prefs and see if mirror displays is checked?
