I use PwdHash for my passwords – if you aren’t using something like this, you probably should be. I’m sure there will be an update to the PwdHash plugin to make it officially compatible with Firefox 3.5, but until then here are steps to use it on a Mac: Upgrade to Firefox 3.5. Quit Firefox…

Thanks to Adam Tow, I’ve got a newly updated version of SVN Zapper available. This version should be nicely compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.x.

You may have noticed ShareThis loading a lot faster these days. The team has made some great changes under the hood that have enabled better performance and a much snappier response. The widget now pops up immediately, just like ShareThis Classic. I’ve been beta testing the new performance features here for a little while and…

Ok, maybe less “outrage” and more “mild annoyance”. After playing with the iPhone a bit I realized that my BlackBerry would be a bit more useful if I had some apps on it for various one-off features. For example, I thought it would be handy to have a weather app instead of loading up a…

Since the Air is a little light on hard drive space I’ve been a little bit picky about what I install on it. It’s a good way to figure out what your “must have” apps are – this is what made the cut for me: LaunchBar – this is the very first thing I installed.…

I’ve had a rather bumpy relationship with SpanningSync, and as a result several friends have recommended I try BusySync 2.0 beta. I’m very glad they did. BusySync works differently than SpanningSync. Instead of a service, it works directly with Google Calendar with no intermediary service. It does not suffer from any of the issues I…

I’ve pushed a new version of my JS Quicktags out. This is a bug fix release the catches two spots I missed that needed to be tweaked to support multiple textareas.

A new version of my JS Quicktags is now available. This release adds a very nice feature, the ability to attach the Quicktags to multiple textarea elements on a page. This is something I’d planned to add for ages, but never got around to doing so. Many thanks to Greg Heo for sending me his…

After finding the excellent CodeIgniter TextMate Bundle, I’ve switched to TextMate as my editor of choice for my CodeIgniter development. I’ve tried switching to TextMate in the past and there is a lot I like about it, however I always end up back with BBEdit for find/replace and other text manipulation tools. This time though.…

I surrender! I tried to make Google Calendar work the way I want to work, but it just won’t. Instead of fighting against it, I’m reversing course and doing my best to work with it. What I Wanted A little while back, I decided that I needed to start archiving data by year1. I still…

At Crowd Favorite we use Subversion for source control and document distribution and management. Last week, we were reminded just how much we rely on it. We made the move from an outdated server to a more properly equipped one, and also used a more suitable domain and set up SSL and all the stuff…

I really wanted to like Spanning Sync, I bought a lifetime copy and tried it for over a month. However, I’d had to give it up and go back to my old solution: subscribing to my Google Calendars in iCal. Here are the reasons I’m turning Spanning Sync off (for now): It would somehow decide…

When I first saw Skitch, I have to admit I really didn’t get it. For some reason, it just didn’t resonate with me and I didn’t see a real need/use for it. I think part of the reason is the consumer oriented web site, packaging, etc. – marking up photos and sending them to friends…

When people ask me about the iPhone vs. the BlackBerry, I tell them that for my usage I prefer the BlackBerry – except for the browser. The MobiSafari browser in the iPhone is the biggest game changer on the device. The newest beta of Opera Mini 4 is nowhere near as elegant a browsing experience…

A couple of months ago, we moved from Mailroom to HelpSpot to manage e-mail support for the Use Tasks service. We liked the concept of Mailroom, but the execution left a little to be desired. I’d been aware of Ian Landsman and his work on HelpSpot for a while, but hadn’t really investigated it thoroughly…
