I just released an update to WebnoteHappy, a better bookmark manager for your Mac, with hot key support for OmniWeb 5.5 beta and Flock, improved communication with del.icio.us, and ongoing AppleScript improvements.

The Mac Pro is the new king of the hill August 25th, 2006

Earlier this year, I stumbled across a benchmark that would test how well the new Intel Macs compared against the PowerPC Macs. I’m going to call the benchmark svnmark because consists of compiling Subversion. The benchmark results showed that the new Intel Macs blew away the PPC Macs. Well, all but one: the Quad G5 …

Help your RSI with FlexTime August 18th, 2006

I’ve got RSI – it’s sort of the universal programmer’s / anyone who works with a computer all day malady. Last year I used to have pain and swelling in my hands after I came home from work. Now I see a chiropractor regularly. He uses the Activator technique to adjust me and advised me …

WWDC guesses revisited August 15th, 2006

OK so now that WWDC 2006 is over and I’ve unpacked all my liquids, gels, and lotions from my checked baggage, its time to check out (from whatever Apple has publicized of course) if my guesses came true or not. Actually, they weren’t really guesses, more of like “please, Apple, if you really love us …

WWDC Day 0 August 7th, 2006

Well WWDC is almost upon us! I arrived safely via JetBlue who was nice enough to move me before takeoff to a window seat in an exit row. As I looked out my window, I was surprised with branding on the engine. I guess that’s just in case I nod off, then wake up and …

WWDC banner revealed August 4th, 2006

Apple has started setting up for WWDC and the banner behind the registration booth has been set up. And artisan has posted a nice annotated picture of the WWDC banner on Flickr. Roll over the picture to see all the different icons or look at the list. I think the only thing that might be …

WWDC guesses August 3rd, 2006

I’m not really good at making predictions, but since WWDC is just around the corner, why not… Plus Gus, Brent (twice actually) and Uli have some interesting ones. But instead of trying to look into industry trends, here’s just what I myself would like to see: New UI widgets, like: The entire bar that has …

WebnoteHappy 1.2 – even more del.icio.us August 2nd, 2006

I just released WebnoteHappy 1.2! It’s even more del.icio.us. What do I mean by that? You now have the full roundtrip from your desktop to del.icio.us and back. The previous versions already uploaded your changes immediately to del.icio.us after you share publicly, save privately, or change any previously shared/saved webnotes. 1.2 adds the ability to …
