I finally got my calendar (in iCal) syncing with my BlackBerry via PocketMac. The solution is ugly, but it works. Here is what I did: Back up all my iCal calendar data on my Mac, in several formats just to be safe. Export my calendars in iCal format. Write a little script to split the…

I finally got BBReply properly installed on my BlackBerry 8700g. The trick is to do a full reboot in order to activate BBReply. This means: Turn the BlackBerry off Take the battery out Put the battery back in Now BBReply will be installed and you’ll have a Reply-To option in your menu. However now that…

I got an odd error message when I set my iPod in the cradle after buying a song at the iTunes Music Store today1: Some songs in your iTunes Music Library could not be transferred to your iPod because your iPod software is too old. Go to apple.com/ipod to download the latest… Odd. Ok, I…

I’m quite happy about Apple’s Boot Camp, this is great for web1 developers. I’m going to need to start testing my apps on IE 7 pretty soon, and I don’t much fancy adding another windows box to my stable of machines just for testing in another browser. However, adding an Intel Mac mini that I…

*Sigh* McAfee billed me for my windows tax today.

If I’m going to use my Dell laptop as my main machine on a trip in early summer, I’m going to need decent equivilents to: shadowClipboard – an excelent, elegant, simple multi-clipboard app for OS X. In my searches I’ve found a bunch of multi-clipboard apps that use lots of mouse-clicks and pop-up windows, but…

Both my PowerBook and PowerMac have been suffering from corrupted font caches over the last few months. Generally a few letters in Monaco start looking funny in Mail.app. Font Finagler1 fixes it each time, however it’s becoming a real annoyance. My searches haven’t turned up any known issues – anyone know what could be causing…

Since I’m liking the Zend Studio, I sent an e-mail into the Zend folks asking if they had a license that would allow me to install the Zend Studio on all three of my development machines, without requiring 3 separate licenses (as their license agreement states is required). I received a reply this morning, letting…

I’ve written about tabbed interfaces in the past, and thankfully BBEdit, Path Finder and Transmit have all implemented tabs since then. Applications like Camino (and Firefox and Safari) and Adium already had tabs, so almost all apps I use now have tabbed interfaces. There is still one big hole in my tabbed arsenal, and I’ve…

After a year of playing Mario Kart a few minutes a day, a couple days a week I’ve finally gotten pretty decent at it. I think it’s time for me to move on to another game, and I think I’d enjoy a similar racing game. Recommendations?

I liked what I read last week in the TextMate blog so much, I decided to use it exclusively for a project. When I tried TextMate back in the 1.0 days, I found I didn’t entirely care for it, for various reasons. On the flight home last night, I used TextMate for some PHP editing…

Camino, my primary browser since at least March of 20031, has reached 1.0! Congrats to the Camino team. There’s a bunch of good press out there – as well there should be. Firefox is a better browser for development due to all the great extensions and tools available, but the Camino browsing experience certainly feels…

Scott thought I should have a self-contained output version1 of my HTML Resume Template. Good idea, and now available in version 2.1. UPDATE: I didn’t really explain why adding this is a neat thing. Basically, it gives you a formatted (and printable) HTML version of your resume that you can attach to an e-mail. Perhaps…

I’ve toyed with multi-clipboard apps in the past, but I think I’ve finally found one I’m going to stick with in shadowClipboard. I really like the implementation, and so far prefer the simple interface to the advanced interface. I’m a productivity tool junkie, but a very particular one. I probably ditch 90% of the software…

I am very dependent on these wonderful software packages, my kudos to their developers. Mac Software LaunchBar Launch applications, bookmarks, view phone numbers, activate songs in iTunes – all with just a few keystrokes. There have been some LaunchBar clones released recently, but the original is still the best. I’m a registered user. Path Finder…
