Set up your own lifestream using FriendFeed and… Dirty hacks

When Iceland went bust and started selling .is domains I grabbed martin.is. Of course I did. That’s the kind of guy I am. Even as I swiped that credit card (and by “swipe” I mean “typed in all my info into the appropriate boxes.”) I knew I had no idea what I was going to [...]

Things Migrator 2

I noticed that my little app for migrating your data from Things to The Hit List still gets some hits. I haven’t really looked at it for ages, but I wasn’t terribly surprised to see that it’s broken under Snow Leopard.
I decided to fix it, expecting AppleScript projects in Xcode to work pretty much the [...]

Edit: An alternative version brings up your Quick-add dialog [...]

Hotkeys galore: QuicKeys

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 [...]

I might be the only one with this problem, but in case that isn’t true I thought I’d write up a short one.

One install to rule them all

Edit: This post was imported from my previous site and is completely outdated. FYI.
