Screencast: rooSwitch + Final Cut Pro

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

There are plenty of uses for rooSwitch that I will never think of. That’s why I love finding blog posts from users explaining how they’re using rooSwitch. What’s better than a blog post? A screencast! Earlier this week, I found a user generated screencast showing off rooSwitch managing multiple profiles for Final Cut Pro. I got […]

More Browser Independence

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

I’ve used TextExpander off and on a few times now. At first I just used it for a signature (snore). A few weeks ago I realized TextExpander could detach what may have been the last dependence I had on browsers: Bookmark Keywords. I love that I can use bookmark keywords to tell Camino (and OmniWeb and […]

Browser Independence

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Your favorite browser sucks! Mine does too. I rotate through Camino, Safari and OmniWeb. They all have strengths and weaknesses. After about two weeks, my default browser seems to have more weaknesses than strengths. So I switch! “But what about my bookmarks!? and my saved form data!?” you say. With that, I point you at WebnoteHappy[1] and […]

I’m late to this party, but here goes: MacSanta is: Thanks to MacSanta, you can save 20% off applications from all 77 companies below! Just use coupon code MACSANTA to save through December 25th.

Scripting FileStorm

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

rooSwitch Lite shipped with a disk image that was created using FileStorm. Previously I was using DropDMG, which is great, but I wanted something that let me use a background and position 128×128 icons on it. FileStorm was pretty easy to navigate with the UI, but I wanted to have this scripted. I had a […]

Hazel 1.0 Is Available

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

I’ve been using Hazel since I learned about it the week of WWDC. Hazel introduces itself as Hazel is your personal housekeeper. Set up rules for any folder that could use some organizing and cleaning. Hazel does its work automatically and quietly in the background letting you focus on the your real tasks. I have Hazel doing […]

SpamSieve Required

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

For reasons that aren’t interesting I had to use mail.app without SpamSieve for about one week. Two things I noticed: 1) Holy smokes I get a good chunk of spam! 2) Holy smokes mail.app’s “junk” filter is useless I’ve been using SpamSieve for almost two years now and it seems I now depend on it. When I bought […]

MondoMouse

Monday, August 7th, 2006

Last night I read about MondoMouse via Daniel Jalkut’s blog. At the time I remember looking at the website and thinking, “Hmmmm, that’s sort of interesting”. I opened the link in the background of NetNewsWire and then moved along through my unread count (must fight the battle). This morning I downloaded and installed the MondoMouse […]

WebnoteHappy hits 1.1

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

Early this morning, Luis de la Rosa, released 1.1 of WebnoteHappy. The release notes have the details on what’s new. My two favorites? 2. Support for saving bookmarks privately to del.icio.us. 3. Sharing and saving privately can be done from the quick Add/Edit dialog triggered by the hot […]

Cut and Paste Long Posts Into Tofu For Easier Reading

Thursday, June 1st, 2006

Just last night Luis pointed me at “The Hardest Lessons for Startups to Learn” by Paul Graham. It’s a healthy sized read. Fortunately, TUAW had recently clued me in to a free app called Tofu. Tofu’s site explains itself this way: In Tofu, text is arranged in columns, and each column is only as high as […]
