在望遠鏡上安裝激光以方便對準 (Mount a Laser On Your Telescope for Easy Alignment)

Carl shares a hack for sighting in a large telescope:

卡爾分享了一個用大望遠鏡瞄準的技巧：

I saw your entry about the camera lens red-dot scope. Last summer I made a telescope mount for a green laser pointer in order to make it easier to align my telescope. If you think the field of view is small on a 500mm camera lens, you should see it on a sizable backyard ‘scope! I followed this tutorial with a few modifications to fit the particular laser pointer I had. As always, be safe when using lasers and (because of the risk to planes) use it as briefly as possible and in clear air space.

我看到了您關于相機鏡頭紅點鏡的條目。 去年夏天，我為綠色激光筆制作了一個望遠鏡支架，以便更輕松地對準望遠鏡。 如果您認為500毫米相機鏡頭的視場很小，則應該在相當大的后院顯微鏡上看到它！ 我按照本教程進行了一些修改，以適應我的特定激光筆。 與往常一樣，使用激光時要安全，并且(由于飛機的危險)請盡可能簡短地在干凈的空間中使用。

We have a green laser pointer… now we just need a telescope cool enough to mount it on. Thanks for sharing!

我們有一個綠色的激光筆……現在我們只需要一個足夠涼爽的望遠鏡就可以安裝它了。 感謝分享！

與Dropbox同步您的桌面 (Sync Your Desktop with Dropbox)

Travis wrote in to share a guide he created to help others sync their desktops via Dropbox. While not everyone works off their desktop in such a fashion that syncing is critical, for those that use their desktops as a work space it’s a handy trick. He writes:

Travis寫信分享了他創建的指南，以幫助其他人通過Dropbox同步其桌面。 盡管并非每個人都以同步至關重要的方式在桌面上工作，但對于那些將桌面用作工作空間的人來說，這是一個方便的技巧。 他寫：

Similar to the suggestion above to use Dropbox as your “My Documents” location, I use a “Desktop” folder in my Dropbox as the desktop display, synced across all my computers.

與上面將Dropbox用作“我的文檔”位置的建議類似，我在Dropbox中將“ Desktop”文件夾用作桌面顯示，并在所有計算機上進行了同步。

All the time, my friends and family tell me my computer’s desktop is “so messy.” That’s not true. It is organized, but usually has a lot of stuff on it. When working, I use my computer desktop, as an actual desktop… The things I am currently using and/or working on are right there and easy for me to use. That is actually the point of the desktop, right?

一直以來，我的朋友和家人都告訴我，我的計算機桌面“太亂了”。 這不是真的。 它是有組織的，但是通常有很多東西。 在工作時，我將計算機桌面用作實際的桌面……我當前正在使用和/或正在使用的東西就在那兒，使我易于使用。 這實際上是臺式機的關鍵，對嗎？

I don’t always work from one physical location, so it is a bit of a chore to make sure I have transferred files to a location (such as USB drive or FTP site) so I can access them later. As well, should I really need to pull out my laptop to grab a single .php file or .psd? I don’t think so.

我并不總是從一個物理位置工作，因此要確保將文件傳輸到某個位置(例如USB驅動器或FTP站點)是一件很麻煩的事，以便以后可以訪問它們。 同樣，我是否真的需要拔出筆記本電腦來獲取單個.php文件或.psd？ 我不這么認為。

Using Dropbox as my desktop allows everything I am working on to be available everywhere I work, without even thinking about it.

將Dropbox用作桌面，使我正在工作的所有內容都可以在我工作的任何地方使用，甚至無需考慮。

將您的Kindle剪輯轉換為其他格式 (Convert Your Kindle Clippings to Other Formats)

Alejandro, in response to our post about The Secret Weapon, a tool for using Evernote to manage your to-do lists, shared an Evernote-related tool:

Alejandro在回應我們有關“秘密武器”的帖子時(一種使用Evernote管理您的待辦事項的工具)，分享了與Evernote相關的工具：

Great piece! Evernote is indeed a very nice tool and can be very useful in many situations.

好棒！ Evernote確實是一個非常不錯的工具，在許多情況下都非常有用。

Also just want to share something I discovered recently. There is a free online tool which you can use to upload your Kindle “my clippings” directly to Evernote. You can also convert your clippings to others like Word or PDF, just in case you prefer those format more. Hope you can find this tip useful.

也只想分享我最近發現的東西。 有一個免費的在線工具，您可以使用它直接將Kindle“我的剪輯”上傳到Evernote。 您也可以將剪輯轉換為Word或PDF等其他格式，以防萬一您更喜歡這些格式。 希望您能找到有用的提示。

If you have clippings in your Kindle that you’d like to incorporate into your Evernote archive/workflow this is a very handle tool. Thanks Alejandro!

如果您想將Kindle中的剪裁合并到Evernote存檔/工作流中，則這是一個非常方便的工具。 謝謝亞歷杭德羅！
