Sending large files without attachments

Often we need to send large image or video files to Partners. YouSendit.com allows you upload files up to 100mb at no charge. The recipient gets an e-mail message with a link to download your file. The link expires after seven days. No more overloading e-mail boxes with large attachments. Now they have a free set of plug-ins so you can upload directly from Final Cut Pro, Acrobat, Photoshop and more. To use the plug-ins, you must set up a free YouSendIt account. I think this will be very helpful with sending large PDFs for output or proofing. Here’s the promo blurb from YouSendIt.

You love working on your Mac, so we’re bringing you a suite of Mac plug-ins to make file delivery even easier. Get 25% faster uploads without interrupting your workflow.

Download the YouSendIt plug-ins for your Mac applications, free.

  • Send from iPhoto, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Aperture, Acrobat and more.
  • Reduce project turn-around time.
  • Zip and send multiple files and folders of any kind.

AllCallings

Over several months the development of what we are calling an “involvement portal” has been underway. It is a social community with a purpose. That purpose is to connect those leaving the campus and making a transition to the marketplace, but these graduates are wanting to stay engaged in the same missional principles they experienced on campus in their new work place world. You could say their new calling. It is a large undertaking as it has a number of similarities to the popular FaceBook.

Dennis was in meetings yesterday where he and others from our ministry met with the firm tasked with coding this web space. We are at the place where we need to hook up their work with our web world. You would not believe all the acronyms used in one meeting as we discussed how to connect the parts.

There will be a beta release of the site slated for August 11th. The goal is to get 400 beta users to kick the tires of the new site and help us ferret out all the bugs. We will say more about this in the weeks to come.
