Getting Google’s Firefox Bookmark Sync to Work

For the last six months or so, I’ve been using Firefox as my Web browser; not because I have any objection to Safari, but because, by virtue of the del.icio.us extension, Del.ico.us is integrated into the browser in the nicest ways.

But I miss being able to sync my bookmarks between computers, the way I can […]

Older Versions of QuickTime

I notice a fair number of visitors come here via Google searches for older versions of Apple’s free QuickTime sofware. The current version is 7.0.3, but you can still find QuickTime 5 for Mac OS 9 and PCs, QuickTime 6.0.3 for Mac OS 9, QuickTime 6.5.2 reinstaller and manual installers for Mac OS 9, QuickTime […]

Moving to the Big Screen

Since The Spouse has a brand-new one of these, I get the previous model, the gorgeous iMac G4 Flat-panel, still under Apple Care. I spent part of the weekend transferring data from my iBook, and setting up applications. I’ve been using my twelve inch iBook for most of my own work for so long, it’s […]

TextWrangler

I meant to post this back in January . . . BareBones has made the complete version of TextWrangler 2.0 for MacOS X free. You can read about TextWrangler and download it here. This is the text editor part of BBEdit Pro, and it’s quite lovely. If you’ve got a Mac, you should at least […]

Sometimes, it is the User’s Responsibility

I’m generally a user advocate, but there are limits to even my patience and understanding. For instance, users who knowingly use beta software pretty much are out on a limb. Users who use Beta software as part of an active, primary production system are, well clueless. Dori Smith linked to this post from Mary […]

Mellel Holiday Sale

Right now Mellel $29.00 for a regular license, $23.00 for an educational single user, and $49.00 for a “family” license for five users. Mellel is perhaps best described as a “scholarly” word processer, though that doesn’t quite do it […]

Apple Mailing Lists RSS

This is just so cool; thanks to Chuq and Apple for making Apple’s mailing lists’ posts RSS friendly. There’s a lot of good information in these lists, and RSS is an efficient way to see what the current topics are. The subscribe page is . Now all you need is NetNews Wire, or one of […]

Font Geek

Just a quick post about Ben Levisay’s Font Geek site. He’s offering lots of good information about fonts and Mac OS X, ranging from information about how fonts are organized and used in OS X to font interactions with specific applications, tips, and work arounds for problems.

QuickSilver

At WWDC a couple of people mentioned the beta of a really interesting program they’d come to depend on, called Quicksilver. It’s a little utility that runs in the background but that comes to the front with a keyboard command. You type the first few letters—just two or three—of the file or application you want […]
