Let me get the cheesy redundant joke done right off the bat:
On top of my list of things to get done is to finish Dave Allens Getting Things Done.
How droll. What fun.1
On top of the personal hit list of Andy Kim of The Potion Factory I’m willing to bet a few shillings you’ll [...]
I was just writing an AppleScript to look up words on the excellent NinjaWords and decided to post it in case someone else needs something similar. Since one snippet of AppleScript is not a very meaty post, I’ll throw in a couple extra.
Look up word on NinjaWords
Select a word and copy it to the clipboard. [...]
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 [...]
If you’re a Mac user chances are good you already know about MacHeist. In summary MacHeist is a bundle of Mac apps sold at a very ridiculously attractive price. Usually if only one or two apps in the bundle appeal to you you already save money by buying the bundle.

So I’ve been checking out Path Finder again. The thing with Path Finder is that it’s very nearly awesome, but there are a few things that bug the hell out of me. I may or may not come back to the most irritating shortcomings in a later post, but I’m [...]

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.

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 your [...]
Macs are awesome.
1. Invert the screen
To freak out your friends just wait until they leave the keyboard for a sec and hit CMD – CTRL – OPT – 8.
