This guy has created an amazing audio tool out of javascript and html5.

Something I’m sure you could waste hours and hours on. Would be good to pipe it through some effects processing though.

I’ve found this really handy jQuery plugin for TextMate.

It’s originally written by kswedberg on github, but i’ve compiled it and zipped it for ease of use.

When you plug in a mouse to a Macbook/Pro/Air sometimes you want to ignore the trackpad because, well, you have an external mouse and don’t want to flick around with the trackpad.

Apple have changed this from being in either Mouse/Trackpad under System Preferences, to being in Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad.

Great stuff, Apple.

Recently I’ve been seeing some weird things happening with Safari & Google. Lately, gMaps is very slow and takes up a lot of process. Streetview is horrible in Safari 5. gAnalytics doesn’t display content correctly.

I’ve been using Chrome for each thing i think is dodgy and each time I’ve been correct.

Now I don’t think it’s to do with Webkit, i think it’s to do with the JS rendering system. Both Chrome and Safari use completely different JS renderers however share the same markup renderer.

With extensions for Safari 5 finally being enabled, developers are starting to produce some good stuff.

One thing (which Apple has never had) is a separate reload button. I dislike buttons which have two functions such as reload/stop. If you click ‘stop’ just as its loaded, and changes it’s state to ‘reload’, thus loading it again. Grrr annoying. Happens too many times.

You’ll need to enable extensions, then check out http://siracusafamily.org/safari/extensions/

My work has great team values, and today they’re giving us free icecream since it’s such a lovely day (27˚c).

I think OoO messages are ridiculous and I blame Microsoft. It’s so easy to setup an Autoreply for holidays and when you are out of the office.

But these emails are quite frankly stupid. All they do is send an email back, no matter what, that says something retarded like:

“I’m on holiday in the Bahamas. Will be back on 11 July. Please contact Charlie for anything urgent”.

It’s retarded because now I have to email someone else again. Why couldn’t that email have been forwarded automatically to Charlie. Since this is a business, and you want to keep customers/new clients, why not keep this as simple as possible? This a very easy process and simply adds a forward rule to new mail.

To be honest, you can’t even do this with Apple Mail. I’m sure an Applescript could work fine though.

You can use the following tags to stop Google indexing parts of your webpage.

<!–googleoff: all–> hide this text from Google<!–googleon: all–>

You can also use;
<!–googleoff: snippet–> for text

Every once in a while i get this message in Windows XP VM “Network connection has limited or no connection”. Some people suggest to turn your VM settings to NAT. However, this was already set to NAT. To fix the problem, quit VMware, delete the plist files in your ~/Library/Preferences/

com.vmware.fusion.plist
com.vmware.fusionDaemon.plist

This should restore your network connection.

Mac fonts have to be converted first via command line. Use the following in a new terminal window:

cat “MyFontReg/..namedfork/rsrc” > “MyFontReg.dfont”
