pdf-presenter

RationaleI work in research, and once in a while I need to give a talk or lecture. Normally I would use Apple's Keynote to show the presentation, but right now I have a Vista-based notebook. So my idea was to simply export the slides to a PDF using my Mac at home or create some slides with ... [More] Beamer or Google Docs, and then show the presentation using my laptop and some ordinary PDF viewer. After I tried that for the first time I instantly noticed something very useful is missing: The ability to have one screen that displays the content of the current slide, while the other one - the so called presenter screen - will show the presenter more content, e.g. notes, the next slide and a timer. Since I haven't found one Windows PDF viewer among the billions out there that supports this, PDF Prese [Less]

screensleepchanger

This script toggles your mac's monitor sleep mode between two times, a long and a short time, and displays a Growl message. It spares you going to energy saving presets every time you want your screen to shut off faster - I typically do this when I listen to music to fall asleep. ... [More] Configuration: You can change the times to be toggled below. Default for me is 1 min, 90 mins. Installation: Copy this to your scripts folder and run it. Ideally bind a hotkey to it as well. You should have growl installed, but who doesn't. Tested on: OSX 10.5.6 Thanks go to: Axman6 [Less]
