85mm f/1.8 Nikkor delivered!

It just arrived via UPS. So far, it looks great. The used B+W 81A warming filter I got with it from Adorama is scratched. That sucks. But at f/1.8, I doubt it’ll ever show up. We’ll see.

Another big day for new utilities

One area of inefficiency in my daily computer operation is that I limit myself to one clipboard entry at a time rather than a clipboard history that I can choose (paste) from or just browse. I’ve looked into this a little in the past but never followed through. Today, I came across PTHPasteboard. Looks good. I’m giving it a try. So far, so good

I also came across SmallScreenX, a nice freeware app for creating an on-screen border of user-defined size. It is useful for seeing the screen area of various users without lowering my own screen resolution — handy for software development.

I found both of these from a page I got in my MacWorld Gems email today.
