Evil Cookies Lurking - Be Aware !

On a weekly basis I perform a number of computer maintenance tasks and this morning (200612.31), discovered a COOKIE I did not like.

Rather than get into 'what the cookie does', I will share with you, HOW TO LOCATE and ELIMINATE IT .

For years I have used Macromedia's (imo) excellent Flash Cookie Detector that goes beyond what is provided to remove cookies within Browser Preferences; however, it would appear very few know about it, so here is my New Year present for YOU: Macromedia Website Privacy Settings panel (fwiw) Macromedia is now owned by Adobe, of PhotoShop, etc. fame. [click on the following link]:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html

When the page comes up (Dial-up will require a few moments.) the following will appear along with an explanation, which may be confusing to some. I have provided 'what I do' instructions below.

If there are COOKIES present they will appear in the [above] empty box at the bottom of the "Settings Manager."

(imo) Selecting "Delete all sites" is the best choice.

I would suggest that Anybody reading this, bookmark the above link, and use it often; especially if one visits Video based sites.

Use your Browser Preferences to remove all other COOKIES.

This cookie eliminator will work with most browsers and operating systems. - 200612.31 - curtis ~@~

Getting rid of double vision or "Avoiding image persistence on Apple LCD displays":

Recently, while using my "Cinema Display", I thought my eyes were getting double vision, until I found the above link and proceeded to follow their directions.

After two days of using a white screensaver I am no longer seeing a double image on text. In case anybody needs "an all white screen" free jpg, click here (19,503 byte, 1600x1024) - 200601.04

Podcast

As a student, I had an extensive music education and have not exercised 'it' for over forty years.

The first four Podcast music compositions, Introduction, Inside Job, Passing Time, and Mood Loops, took 7 hours, 22 minutes to create; from 'open Mac Mini box until completed, as you hear them'.

These are 'no frills', 'raw tunes' created with GarageBand without 'mixdown' or enhancement. I left them as they were created, in order to show improvement.

The above page also contains a brief description on using the Visualizer.
