MACitus: January 2011
http://macitus.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Next install is FastScripts. I've accumulated a number of AppleScripts, mainly for making iTunes a little easier to us. Some of them I run so frequently that I like invoke them using a keyboard shortcut. I find FastScripts. Very convenient for that. Here are my iTunes AppleScripts:. I deselect tracks (often as part of a multiple selection) so frequently that I've assigned this to ⌘0. Go To 0 Spoken Word for iPhone. Go To New Podcasts for iPhone. Most podcasts work for me to list...

MACitus: Make It Short
http://macitus.blogspot.com/2011/02/make-it-short.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. If you use Safari, have a look at the Make It Short. URL shortener Safari extension. When I need a shortened URL in my clipboard, this Safari extension is the quickest and most convenient way I've found to get it there. It can be configured to work with shortening services. I like bit.ly. And I like how I can configure Make It Short to use my bit.ly API key. While you're at junecloud.com. Have a look at their other excellent tools: Delivery Status touch.

Sunday, January 30, 2011. Time Machine FAQ FTW! I couldn't figure out how to use Migration Assistant to copy data from the Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Air. I gave up and turned to this Time Machine FAQ: http:/ web.me.com/pondini/Time Machine/FAQ.html. Question 17: "How can I see my backups, or the Backups for a different Mac? And question 16: "How can I restore a file/folder to an alternate location? Told me all I needed to know to restore my iTunes data. Time Machine FAQ FTW!

MACitus: Divvy, the window management utility I was looking for
http://macitus.blogspot.com/2011/02/divvy-window-management-utility-i-was.html
Sunday, February 6, 2011. Divvy, the window management utility I was looking for. But Mac Win Man (MWM), the one utility I found, was much more complicated that what I was looking for, so I abandoned my search. Then my friend Ian Chesal. Mentioned something called Divvy. And I checked it out. It gives me just what I needed, even though it doesn't give me what I wanted. It's better than what I wanted. It's much more Mac-like. Check out the video at mizage.com/divvy. And see if you agree.

http://macitus.blogspot.com/2011/02/busycal-really-is-like-ical-pro.html
Saturday, February 12, 2011. BusyCal really is like iCal Pro. I've installed plenty more applications on my MacBook Air, but now that I'm using it at work (and no longer have my MacBook Pro) and now that I've started my new job, I haven't had much time for blogging. But the first application that occurs to me that I haven't blogged about is BusyCal. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Disabling the Front Row keyboard shortcut. BusyCal really is like iCal Pro. The Darkgate Comic Slurper.

PyPap: Python 401: Some Advanced Topics
http://pypap.blogspot.com/2009/04/python-401-some-advanced-topics.html
Thursday, April 16, 2009. Python 401: Some Advanced Topics. On Thursday, March 26th, I attended Steve Holden. 8217;s Python 401: Some Advanced Topics. Tutorial. This one wasn’t as mind-expanding as the previous tutorial (or the three I took at PyCon 2008. And none of the material was new to me. But I’ve found re-learning material will often fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and that certainly was the case here. You’ll find the slides at http:/ holdenweb.com/files/Python401.pdf.
