My name is Chris Pultz. I work for the Computing Services department of Lincoln Public Schools in Lincoln, NE. Please note that this page is "all opinion all the time." If you are looking for officially sanctioned LPS related news, look here, not on this page. This page is rubbish, I assure you. And if you think this is awful, you definitely do not want to follow me on Twitter. That would drive you mad!

Additional Search Attributes When working with nervous teachers trying to struggle their way through tasks on the computer, I often try to console them by sharing that I have considered myself a “power user” for 15 years, but still come across things now and again that I had no idea existed. Today is aperfect example of that. When using Spotlight to search for a file just now, I learned that when choosing “Other…” from the drop down menu provided when constructing an advanced search (click the “Add +” button) you are presented with a STUNNING number of data types to search by. A few examples: File invisible (to find invisible files) File type ISO, f value, Focal length, Exposure, Aperture, Resolution, etc. of a photo Any MP3 tag info Orientation (Landscape or Portrait) Height or Width in points or pixels
