Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast.

Today I wanted to talk to you about back to my Mac a built in system that does VNC screen sharing and screen control from another Macintosh. And then a Macintosh isn’t a Macintosh, it’s a Mac, I guess now i don’t know but from another Macintosh computer in your iCloud account. So if you have an iCloud account, and you have multiple computers, and you’re looking for a way to operate a quick system that’s secure to do a VNC. Back to your Mac, let’s say at home from your office computer, you can set up the system in your iCloud account, where you’re able to open the port up, I guess and open the boards, and then you’re able to do something that’s I guess, kind of complicated outside of this, there’s other utilities that are paid. I think, like with LogMeIn, or maybe there’s some things with screen share, I think is an app that I had heard kind of float around a couple times, and also other utilities that do like back to my or go to my PC or, you know, other kind of Express, like VNC utilities that are out there on the internet, which I’m sure there’s plenty of options for above, if you’re on a Macintosh, like I’m working with a Mac Pro, and a MacBook Pro. And so when I’m at home, I was trying to access this other computer and check it out. And so I was trying to set up a back to my Mac system where I’m able to see some of the files on the desktop and then make operational or you know, like move the mouse around and click on icons, open programs up. And that was really assisting me when I was trying to do a long term render, like maybe I was talking about before, where I was setting up a bunch of dot m o v files to render out on that CPU system that was much faster than the laptop. But when I was away from that computer, I wanted to check on it. And there was also a kind of a limitation to how many you could add it at a time while it was to work effectively. And so, so kind of managing that a little bit was a much more effective using this VNC software and being being able to operate that computer, get the leverage of the CPU system that that you can run with it, but also not have to be physically maintaining that computer, add it directly. So really interesting kind of stuff, a great opportunity if you have a handful of those computers in your household or in your domain, but definitely something to check out back to my Mac built into Mac OS.

You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look at that Bitly Newman under the author’s section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping, and cool stuff over there. I put up a couple photos this last week, like that teepee ring I was talking about in Eastern Oregon, and then in teepees kind of a coloque. Or you know, it’s like it’s a word we will understand for a canvas hut made to be a dwelling. I don’t know. So I’m sure there’s lots of different forms of I was looking at a little bit more after that. And it looks like I think that site like that that TP ring site that I was looking at, I think it was established like 2500 years ago. Maybe that’s correct. It could be 2500 BC, it could be all sorts of things. There’s there’s, there’s information out there. I think from the University of Oregon, one of the researchers that was there did their dissertation in the early 90s on an archeological site that was near that area, and they found remnants of the Clovis people I think I mentioned that this last time the Clovis people was that was a group that came through after like the landbridge you know, like the like the original kind of kind of grew up with people that came through the area. And so for a lot of time, they didn’t really consider that they were in the Oregon region or the Oregon territory but there’s a lot of evidence I mean I think like the fort rock shoe, II fat you can see pictures of that I think it’s like a you know, it’s a it’s an interesting artifact, but I think it was dated to like 12,000 years ago. It’s it’s one of the oldest human ram remnants out there, but it was just cache issues. I was out by little fort rock. And then I think there’s another one out Nia Paisley, another set of caves where there was a cache found some really interesting stuff out there but today, I posted a photograph of one of the rocks that I found out there it’s just kind of a cool two tone piece. I don’t know if it’s Jasper or if it’s just something else like that, but it’s just cool to touch on piece of rock. I think Jasper that kind of flows from from like an Auburn sort of orange color into a deep red color at the top of it. It was just kind of a cool thing. And, and what’s cool about Eastern Oregon is, is you can just walk around out there and there’s so much of the geology exposed. There’s so much land expose, there’s a lot of really cool stuff that you can walk around and find are just some really interesting pieces that you can go about and find that show a lot of the geologic History of the past I hear like, like where obsidian came from. in Oregon. It’s really interesting when you start finding, like naturally formed obsidian in some places, I think like after mazama, that was a big one. There’s another area called glass mountain, not in Eastern Oregon. But Oregon was a really big location of it. I think, specifically because of the Cascade Mountains. There’s a lot of volcanic activity that created that. And it’s interesting too, because I, I suppose that, I suppose, because I’ve read that, that as archaeologists, like look at the type of stone it is even further back toward like the Mississippi, they find they find artifacts that are made of obsidian, and they can trace that stone source back to the west coast, which is really interesting. I think it’s sort of an indicator of some of the more established trade routes that they had where they would trade Flintstone and obsidian stone across tribes and it would end up migrating for you know, 1000s of miles across the United States but it’s really interesting when you start kind of picking up on some of that and away cool when you get back out there in the Eastern Oregon when when that stuff’s exposed on the ground you can walk around and like oh well look at this look at these types of look at this type of soil. Look at this kind of rim rock. Look at these petroglyphs I mean, there’s lots of Indian remains out there that’s really interesting. So all that stuff’s super fascinating to me. And, and a lot of it we like I was mentioned before, we don’t really get to see over here in the Willamette Valley from the calapooia Indians that were over here and a huge population just just 1000 years ago all from Eugene to Portland, there was a bajillion people that kind of populated this valley because it’s so fertile I’m sure you know, it’s a great place to live. Or it’s a it’s a pretty suitable moderate climate and a lot of ways and man way better than the east side of the Cascades. Oh, the rough out there. Imagine like a winter out and burns before there’s a burns Yikes. That’s what it’s hearing about is that Yeah, lots of stuff out there and all those likes, but really interesting to go to go check out and look at and kind of learn more about that sort of stuff.

Know I haven’t like it’s kind of kind of fun to be checking out some stuff on what’s the other stuff I had to talk about. I think it was trying to figure out some stuff on like my Mac laptop, I’ve been trying to set it up more so that as the full set of applications and features and utilities on it that I wanted, I’ve talked a little bit about that. I went ahead and I got the I stat menus application on there. So I can look at the sensors that are in my Mac Book. The one is the network in and out speeds that are current and the history of the network up and down speeds, I guess over the last day or, you know, seven days or you know all that all that informations in there, the amount of disk space where all these different pieces of information you kind of want to know about your computer in your system and how it’s working. Have Daisy disk, which is what I’ve been using in the past a lot, it’s a really cool are pretty good graphical way of sort of showing the pie chart of what’s taking up space on your hard drive. I mean, using Gemini as a de duplication application to go through and find like different versions of photos that I don’t really want to keep stored anymore, which has been interesting to go through or just these just straight duplicates where you know, the photograph pulled in is just the raw version twice. And there’s no difference between it other than just one files named to something like that sort of silly. So it’s taking a silly amount of space, this has been a good program to kind of find some of those programs and then eliminate them. And it’s good also to showing you like or letting you compare like these two are said to be the same to you, I’m going to kind of automatically go through and take them out, I don’t really recommend that it seems like it’s best to sort of go through and select a number of them and start pulling out

was sort of with some thought and care to it. It seemed like that made a difference to me when I did it. So it might make a difference if you tried to go to another app that I jumped on to was the magnet app which sort of reproduces some of the functionality started seeing in Windows seven now in Windows 10 where the windows like if you have a some some window up and some program and you drag it over to the left side, it’ll snap to the left side and then kind of fill that side of the screen or if you drag it straight up, it’ll fill the full screen if you bring it over the right side of that right side of the screen. That snapping stuff isn’t really on the Mac. It’s always sort of been set it to do these sort of multi window painting things but I kind of like it’s snapping over to the side. To help some you have some bigger monitors to where you can kind of grab over to the side with if you have a couple programs. So I got this program called magnet, it’s one of the top selling paid apps. In the App Store, there’s a few different competitors to that people seem to be interested in, also, but I got this one, it was working great enough, it’s a little different than the way that the windows went does it but it’s fine. And it adds the functionality that I was looking for, which is great, great benefit for me. The other one, the other utility that I was picking up was paste the paste app, which I think is kind of interesting. It’s, it’s like a clipboard app. So every computer I think, since we started getting graphical user interfaces, I think since as I recall, Windows 3.1 had, you know a clipboard in it, but that’s when you do the copy paste stuff if you copy or cut, copy or paste if you cut or copy something, it goes on to your clipboard and then when you paste it, it’s pulled off the clipboard and paste it in to where it’s going to go. But really the computer convention for whatever reason is just set to that you can only copy or cut one item at a time. And if you cut again, a copy again, there’s really no history of it or there’s no way to track back the level of things that you’ve had copied or cut if you want to paste those in so it can kind of add into some frustrations. But this clipboard utility paste the paste app I think is set to sort of store like snippets and and pieces of information that you’re going to try and pull up and use repeatedly over time through like your workflow. So I was trying to figure out a way to do that I’m doing a bunch of SEO stuff like I was saying on that website. So going through and having like, like, you know, this is a block of links, this is a block of explanation. Texas is like a great meta tag This is for this. So I have all that sort of laid out. That’s a great workflow where I can just kind of pull up and sort of it’s like, it’s visually the UI is like a command on the keyboard and a pole at the bottom third of the screen and you have this history this row this like timeline of all the different times that you’ve copied something over to your clipboard and you can go back to as far as a month or maybe even more than that and it’ll share it with iCloud too. So if you have different computers, you can have this app on there and you can kind of share everything on your clipboard around it’s kind of interesting and it’s a cool little little useful Mac utility if you are so inclined to do copy paste, but I don’t know I you know, a lot of people seem to survive which is what is it command community community? I guess I have up until this point, but try it out. That’d be kind of fun. So thanks a lot for checking out this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast.
