Open a file from Terminal with Coda
If you’re like me, you love Coda. Well, you may find the need to open a file, or set of files, from Terminal in Coda. Gregory Tomlinson has created a bash script to let you do just that.
Side note: I’m hoping to one day find the time to update this script to allow me to [...]

The iMac as my main computer
Taken on October 15, 2004.
Five years ago today: Well, not really. I haven’t been keeping up with my “five years ago today posts” and so this one is a bit late. Switching to the Macintosh was a fairly long process for me due to the work I was doing at the time. My having the [...]
My poor buddy list
In late August I opened iChat, as I typically do, only to see that no one was online. Having quite a few people in my buddy list this makes for a strange occurrence. I rarely see an empty buddy list. A few hours go by and I check it again, still – no one. After [...]

Cicada skins
After climbing a tree at Lehigh University in an attempt to capture a cicada I ended up finding several skins left on a tree at about eye level. Go figure. There is tons of information on Cicadas on Wikipedia. Worth perusing.

Chris Clark’s proposal for minimizing windows on Mac OS X
With Snow Leopard comes a markedly better way of handling window minimization into the Dock however Chris Clark feels as though it could be done better. His proposal is to minimize the windows directly behind the application icon on the Dock. I like it.

This is not Things roadmap, yes it is
More opaque than transparent but I believe this is a pretty good mix. Cultured Code shares some insight into upcoming version(s) of Things. More software companies should offer insight like this.

Music and photos are not accessible from the Media Browser
If you, like me, recently updated to a new Macintosh – you may have had this issue. It turns out that if you upgrade your version of Mac OS X to the latest version, install the latest iLife 09 updates, and use Migration Assistant to move from your old Mac to your new one – [...]
The Macbook Pro
Setting up the new 15-inch Macbook Pro. The Migration Assistant is absolutely incredible.
A replacement battery for the black Macbook
Another day, another goodie comes in the mail. What will soon be Eliza’s black Macbook needed a replacement battery. It now has one.
Update: After just the first charge the black Macbook is getting about 3 hours of battery life. Splendid.

Chrome for Mac developer preview and extensions
Ever since Google release Chrome, their browser, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for Chrome for Mac. Thanks to my friend Jake Dahn I got a copy of the developer preview. Its really fast. Faster than Safari on the Mac. I’m excited for a more stable and complete beta at which point I plan to [...]

Beak, a fantastic Twitter client from Mike Rundle
John Gruber made an excellent point in his piece called “Twitter clients are a UI design playground“. The excellent point I’m talking about is made apparent within the very title of the piece. That Twitter (I’m @cdevroe, btw) is an excellent playground for designing UIs for third party clients.
Mike Rundle, whom I had the extreme [...]

Justin Blanton reviews Tweetie
He really turns the app on its back and gives it a thorough look. He managed to find a few gems, in the first version of the application, that I never even new were there.
Reading his review, albeit late and after an update has already been released for it, has inspired me to dive [...]

Tweetie for Mac – a new Twitter client
Yes, another Twitter client (I’m cdevroe by the way). However, this one comes from atebits – the company that brought us the highest ranked Twitter client for the iPhone, also named Tweetie.
Tweetie for Mac, which I’ve been using all morning, allows for multiple accounts, posting from the browser, auto URL shortening, and much more. Although [...]

MarsEdit 2.3 is out and supports Tumblr
You may have seen me quip about MarsEdit the other day on Twitter. Really, though, it is an excellent piece of software that should be given a go by anyone that writes a lot.
I’m spoiled by a rich-editor in Wordpress, that saves drafts automatically and even has multiple revisions, and so I’m sticking with Wordpress [...]
