Another tasty tip from Ideal Bite for designers (and everyone else) to save energy… set your computer to go to sleep automatically when not in use, and schedule it to shut down at night. My mac is set to sleep after 10 minutes of not being in use… but (gasp) I’ve been a bit bad with remembering to shut down at night. Thanks to Ideal Bite I’ve discovered Mac has a has an Energy Saver mode in the Preferences where you can schedule shutdown… so now that it’s set up I don’t have to feel guilty for not remembering! Yeah Environment! And when I’m feeling especially like a green geek, I can check how much energy I save with the Mac Energy Calculator.
So not all designers work on Mac, right? Check out this post by Ideal Bite, they have a few more helpful links for you PCers out there!
