I’d been keeping Mail.app closed because it was a big, slow, dumpus, but with the rise of MiniMail, I’ve found I’ve been keeping it open a lot more. MiniMail made me want to have something like that for iCal, too. Here’s an idea of what it could look like, incorporating the layout of the iPhone’s […]
Possible Apple Store in Greenville Someone with their finger on the pulse of Greenville commerce has hinted to me that part of the downtown area may be due for a revitalization, and that the developers want to coax Apple to build a store here. I wonder what that will do to iPlace, open only since […]
Andy Matuschak said a bunch that I was going to say. I’ll add a few more complaints thoughts about the new iTunes 7 interface: What’s Uncool: 1) They changed the tab focus behavior. Now all my motor memory is screwed up. Before, I could reliably hit Command-L to select the current song, hit tab twice […]
I do almost all my work in BBEdit, because I use a remote server on which to test my PHP. But I’ve been using HyperEdit for almost everything else, including mocking up CSS, working with JavaScript, and cranking out non-work PHP. This is completely because of HyperEdit’s integrated PHP preview. I can code in the […]
I love Growl. It’s so nice to know exactly what’s happening at all times, when a download finishes, when my photos have uploaded, when my web files have uploaded, and when someone signs on and off of AIM or Jabber. However, I don’t like any of the existing notification styles out there (with the exception […]
Mac OS X Tiger includes a cool slideshow feature in the Finder. This feature is also in Preview, and a similar one exists in iPhoto. You just grab a folder of images, and hit the Slideshow button. Easy as pie. Except if you want to display the slideshow on a second monitor (like a projector). […]
I’m on the road for StewTech at the PCUSA General Assembly, and in our booth I have a projector set up as my PowerBook’s second display. The trouble is, I have my back to the projector. I don’t want to mirror my display up there, but I want to be able to see what I’m […]
Throughout daily life, I’ve occasionally had a need to shut off or quiet down the music on my wife’s PowerBook, when she’s left it unattended for some reason. Other people have probably felt similar needs, I thought, so I wrote NetSound to fill them. NetSound uses Bonjour to find the computers on your local network, […]
I just encountered a weird behavior - if not bug - in Safari. I was on a page with a navigational menu near the top, and I was scrolled near the bottom, but the keyboard focus was still on the dropdown widget. Hitting the spacebar produced this menu sprouting from the top edge of the […]
For about 3 or so years now, I’ve had Sony Ericsson phones, starting with the T68i and graduating to the T616. The main feature that I loved about these phones was that I could use them with my PowerBook to get online anywhere I had phone signal. It got even cooler when my second PowerBook […]
