I do regular stuff like music and word processing but I also do flash web design and make videos on premier/final cut.

I am currently making a website for my stepmom's barn at whitebirchfarm.com (I haven't uploaded yet.)

So I have a macbook pro and would like to get my own website for my web design buisness. I really enjoy doing it but don't know a ton about flash so its hard.

Anyone know of a free way to learn flash? (I already know the basics)

BTW i'm 15

I beat the hell out of my Mac daily. :/

I use iChat while listening to music on iTunes, having 8-10 windows open in Safari, have some torrents running, and having Photoshop open. I think it breaks down to something like this:
iChat - 3 hours use
iTunes - 6 hours use
Safari - 5 hours use
Photoshop - 1-3 hours of use
Other - 1 hour of use

If I'm at work, I just photoshop for 2 hour sdaily, also.

During school I use this app called SchoolHouse most of the day for organizing notes and projects. Awesome app that I recommend to everyone.

It keeps crashing on me, any suggestions? I really like it otherwise but I can't do too much if it crashes all the time.

What's a torrent? Do I need to get some of those? I've heard the word a few times but never really looked into it.

Basically its getting programs/movies/music for free, although its illegal.

Bittorent itself is not illegal, only some of the content downloaded is. Many linux distros are available as torrents, and some bands legally put some demo songs on it.

I use my macbook mostly for iTunes, watching videos, Eyetv, web browsing, and Adium.

psycoswimmer · Aug 11, 2007, 10:09 PM

Safari, iChat, iTunes, Last.fm, Mail. That's about it.

I just downloaded Schoolhouse that was mentioned in this thread. It looks like a good app. I'm going to try it out this year in high school.

zap2 · Aug 11, 2007, 10:18 PM

iTunes, Safari, Mail, iChat quickly(I've moved to a more facebook based internet social life)

iPhoto sometimes, Pages when I'm in school.

noodle654 · Aug 11, 2007, 10:53 PM

Safari, Audium, iTunes, downloading videos, watching videos, converting videos, school work (word, excel, powerpoint), mail, business (eBay selling), Macrumoring, the usual.

So why not use Limewire or something like that to download the songs? Maybe I'm missing something (beside the illegal stuff).

Bittorrent can be used to download a mass amount of songs or a very large file very quickly, depending on how many other people are seeding it to you. Example: I know someone who downloaded the entire Blink 182 discography within a half hour. Not that I approve of the illegal download or anything.

yoyo5280 · Aug 11, 2007, 11:25 PM

Adium 8am to 6pm
Mail 8-6
firefox 8-6 (bebo,apple stuff, stumble upon, macrumors)

Mac.Jnr · Aug 11, 2007, 11:37 PM

School Work (Word,Powerpoint etc...)
Surfing the web (Youtube, Macrumors and various car forums)

I don't do any serious stuff just use up time while listening to some tunes.

BTW, I'm 13.

oxymoron2007 · Aug 12, 2007, 12:32 AM

Safari (Surfing, online banking, Myspace/Facebook...usually 4-5 windows, don't like tab browsing)
iTunes (constantly opened and playing)
Mail (updates every minute)
iCal (sync w/my cell phone)
iChat
VMware (Windows Vista, Office 2007 (need outlook to check my exchange mail...don't have mac office))
iPhoto/Photobooth (when needed)
Videos (the one you keep in an encrypted disk image)

Sbrocket · Aug 12, 2007, 12:39 AM

Firefox is usually open
Adium is usually open
Mail is open all the time, updating 3 accounts every minute
iTunes is open about 2/3 of the time I'm on my laptop
Terminal gets used quite a bit
VMware Fusion for NX5 and SolidWorks (CAD), infrequently but sure to increase once class starts up again
and then rebooting into XP for a bit of gaming

And soon the list will include...
iCal to make sure I don't miss too many classes

OmniOutliner and/or SchoolHouse, still deciding

That's all I can think of at the moment.
