The odds are good that you have to keep track on how much time you spend on any individual project for billing reasons or what have you. If you’re anything like me (and why wouldn’t you be) your fantastic right hemisphere of the brain makes you profoundly sucky at performing this dreary task. Enter On [...]

Tracing to Firebug in AS3
September 24, 2008 – 15:33
I realize that I’m late to the party with this, but so far all the examples I’ve seen have been a bit overkill for my needs, so I’m putting this out there in case someone else might have some use for it. Of course, 1trace(); is a Flash developers best friend. Hell, I sometimes feel [...]
TextMate theme-switcher script
September 10, 2008 – 12:53
Summary: In which Martin ponders solutions on how to quickly switch themes in TextMate and comes up with a half-assed AppleScript / TM Command solution. Jump to the half-assed solution. Edit: As these things usually go I had a bit of a revelation just minutes after posting this post. Completely by accident I typed the [...]
Show / Hide Window
August 6, 2008 – 16:19
I’ve been using Yojimbo, for a long while now but Eystein has been pestering me to give Evernote a shot. Common for both of these is that you don’t want to spend any time when you’re dropping stuff into them. I want one key that’ll toggle the visibility of the app. I want to hit [...]
OmniFocus clippings from Firefox
August 1, 2008 – 12:34
Summary: In which Martin has created an AppleScript to remedy Firefox’ poor support for OmniFocus‘ “Send to inbox” hotkey. This is a lengthy post with lots of dreary explanations, so you might want to jump to the finished script if you don’t care about how stuff works. Edit: An alternative version brings up your Quick-add [...]
Keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences
July 29, 2008 – 11:53
A big pet peeve of mine is that unlike most other apps Mail.app is a goddamn hassle to just quickly switch to. If you’ve closed the window in Mail rather than just hidden or minimized it, it seems to be no way to make it reappear with a keystroke. Instead you have to actually move [...]
Hotkeys galore: QuicKeys
July 1, 2008 – 19:49
As mentioned before: Mouse bad, Keyboard good. Back when I thought I was going to be a designer and spend my life in Photoshop and Illustrator I still was a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts. Difference is that since the mouse was, by necessity, my weapon of choice in those days and my love for [...]
TextMate + QuickSilver = Drag & Drop ActionScript imports.
June 18, 2008 – 16:31
I couldn’t possibly code in anything but TextMate. Hell, I even blog from TextMate. And since I’m lazy by nature I wanted a better way to import classes from my class library. The TextMate ActionScript 3 Bundle Simon Gregory offers a nice auto complete functionality that lets you define a list of classes to choose [...]
