I’m going to be showing some slides (and talking over the slides) and doing a demo of RubyCocoa tonight for the Boise ruby brigade. I’ll post the code and slides tomorrow for anyone that might care. Hopefully someone learns something (minimally, I think I’ll get a lot out of it)

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 [...]

Update: The traineo guys provided an API and I updated the widget. See: TraineoWeight.wdgt Updated
Like most Americans I’d prefer to be less fat. To help me with that goal I’ve been logging my weight on traineo.com. They offer plenty more than just weight tracking, but I haven’t gotten into all that quite yet. Anyway, it [...]

This is for all you F12 invoking Dashboarders out there: Did you know you can take the Dashboard icon in the dock and drag it off? It goes poof, just like any other dock icon. Dashboard doesn’t stop running, this just frees up its slot in the dock.

Over in the forums, rooSwitch Lite user, brokosz asked if there was a way to switch iTunes without rooSwitch trying to switch the contents of ~/Music/iTunes. At first I didn’t quite get the request, but after some clarification and now that I’ve played with this a little I see it’s quite powerful. What’s going on [...]

I’ve got a number of secret pages that display things like sales data and download stats. My pages were ugly. As a fan of mint, I decided to see what would be involved in turning these ugly pages into private, roobasoft peppers (one “sales” pepper, one “downloads” pepper). Turns out, it’s quite easy (Kudo’s to [...]

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.

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 [...]

Up until recently I had been using a poor man’s FeedBurner. I wanted to use FeedBurner, but requiring a change to my feed URL wasn’t attractive.
Enter WordPress FeedBurner Plugin.
This is a slick plugin that uses apache’s mod_rewrite to allow you to use FeedBurner without handing out a new feed URL. The plugin is super friendly [...]
