In the comments of my post listing my install process, Bill recommended Desktop Manager for virtual desktops on OS X. This got me thinking about using virtual desktops on my PowerBook again. I’ve tried this a few times, but never stuck with it. Here are some of the virtual desktop apps I’ve tried over the…

I used Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) in a multi-step process to replace one of the disks in my RAID array, and it worked like an absolute champ! I used CCC twice in the process, once to clone the existing RAID drive to an external drive, then the second time to clone the external drive back…

Syncing data between machines hasn’t been an issue for me over the last 3 years because my PowerBook has been my primary development machine. Now that I’m back on a desktop as my primary machine, it’s something I have to deal with again. Let’s take browser bookmarks as an example. I still want to keep…

I made a list of all the software I’m installing on my Quad (it was a checklist initially, but I thought it might be interesting to publish). Sorry, I’m not including links – too many to locate and paste in; use your favorite search engine. A lot of this stuff is also linked on my…

Part 3 (see Part 1 and Part 2) of my exploration of Mac OS X options for budget ($100 or less) image browsers/batch processors. I basically want something to make it easy for me to generate the watermarked full size/thumbnail pairs I post here in my blog. The premise is that, with a better tool,…

I’ve talked a little in the past about Path Finder, the Finder replacement I use on Mac OS X – for me, it’s definitely a better mousetrap . I’ve had the opportunity to use pre-release versions of Path Finder 4 during the development and I’m happy to say it’s a worthy successor and definitely something…

As previously mentioned, I decided to explore the Mac OS X options for budget ($100 or less) image browsers/batch processors. I basically wanted something to make it easy for me to generate the watermarked full size/thumbnail pairs I post here in my blog. The premise is that, with a better tool, I’ll spend less time…

I’ve started looking at a bunch of image browsing/processing tools on OS X after watching Eric work with his Windows toolset. Does anyone have any recommendations of apps they really like? Some desired features: Quick rendering in the browser Batch creation of copies of the images Watermarking Sharpening A nice simple, clean, elegant UI Comments…

Does anyone know a way to make those little “you are now connected to the xxx wireless network” bubbles (that appear from the Windows system tray) go away quickly and on their own (or not even show up at all)?

A comment today on my post from January 2004 pointed me to this very cool flash whiteboard. I love it when I get great comments like this on old posts. It always seemed silly to me that people would want to disable comments on old posts1 – it always felt like throwing the baby out…

If you update to Thunderbird 1.5 beta 2, make sure you disable the inline spell checking extension as this functionality is now built-in. Otherwise Thunderbird will crash repeatedly, causing you to curse it repeatedly.

Recently, I’ve chatted with a few folks that also use Tasks Pro™/Tasks and LaunchBar as part of their toolset. I have a number of Tasks Pro™ shortcuts I use with LaunchBar, some of which the others weren’t aware were possible. First the obvious ones: Bookmark for creating a new task (LaunchBar shortcut: nt) Bookmark for…

I posted a new version of iTunes Stats. This version adds a couple changes: A very basic install script (install.php) to create the database tables. A database table prefix setting (config.inc.php). Your name in the header of the page (set in config.inc.php). Play count for each song is put in the database. New reports integrating…
