It occurred to me that if I really wanted people to contribute reports for iTunes Stats, I should make it a little easier to build the reports separately. I’ve posted a new version that takes a step in that direction, and includes 4 sample reports. Download version 0.2 beta. Reports are now individual files in…

Well, I got curious so I went ahead and wrote up a little script to grab some basic stats from my iTunes data. I figured others might be interested in this as well, so I’ve packaged it up as a download. Download What it does right now: Imports a Library.xml export from iTunes into a…

I’ve done some in-depth exploration into several other online invoicing systems since deciding Blinksale wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I set up my client list complete with recurring payments in each of these systems – really tried them out. The first service I looked at closely was BillingOrchard. I liked a number of…

I just sent a small donation over to Adium. If you’re on OS X, are on more IM protocol and aren’t using Adium, you’re missing out.

This evening (one week since my first attempt), I was successfully able to sign up at Blinksale. During the week, I received two e-mails from Blinksale support: “Sorry, we think this is our problem. We’ll have someone get in touch.” “Actually, the problem is with your credit card.” Since I use this card quite regularly…

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve started experiementing with smart folders in Mail.app. I created one for unread spam (for quick review), another for the last 7 days of mail in my inbox, another for all unread messages, etc. After not really using these most of the time, I determined what I really wanted…

Spotlight, Expose, Dashboard… I don’t use these. Really, not much has changed for me since 10.1 in terms of the way I use my computer. Am I missing out on things? I’m still using LaunchBar for launching and switching to apps, getting contact information, visiting bookmarked sites and doing searches. I generally use online tools…

Overheard on the BBEdit mailing list: I have always considered the fact that BBEdit didn’t fix my “mistakes” to be one of it’s finest qualities. I completely concur, this is perhaps why I have yet to make friends with a real IDE.

Oh happy day! A patch has finally been submitted that enables accesskey support for Camino. When a nightly is built that includes this patch, Camino will be the Best Mac Browser™, period. 🙂

Scott made me do it. I created a silly little Greasemonkey script I’m calling ‘Bedtime’ – it disables Firefox between certain hours. A good reminder for those of us that have a tendancy to work too late. 🙂

I just bought a few licenses of SubEthaEdit1 for use in FeedLounge development. Scott and I used it for a good part of the day2 while making some optimizations for FeedLounge and it worked exceedingly well. I remember playing with Hydra before they renamed it. At the time, it was intriguing on the collaboration side,…

When I upgraded to Tiger, it blew away all the changes I’d made to my httpd.conf and /etc/hosts files – just FYI.

I’ve completed what was perhaps the slowest Mac OS upgrade I’ve ever done. The install itself took about an hour, then 35 minutes for it to index my e-mail (when I launched Mail.app) and see that I need to wait another 77 4 hours for Spotlight to index all my files. 🙂 Everything seems to…

Does anyone know how to associate e-mail signatures with your (from) e-mail addresses in Mail.app (Panther or Tiger solutions welcome)? I like to use a different signature for business and personal e-mails and selecting one or the other is a royal pain.

For the second day in a row I managed not to be home when UPS came to deliver my copy of Tiger. I’ve never had a “signature required” delivery from Amazon before, but this one is. Ah well, I guess it’s keeping me from wasting a day upgrading and playing with the new features. 🙂
