Safari Forms Slowdown — I’ve got this problem, too.

iPod Sock
Why Apple is Apple and you aren’t: – Apple does it again with the iPod Sock.
Google Suggest Beta
Google Suggest (Crazy.. uses the same technology as the Live Search feature on this site).
Adium’s Push/Pop
NSLog(); takes a look at Adium’s Push/Pop feature.
What a great way to temporarily clear the input box to type a quick response.
Key strokes:
- Ctrl-s: replace the input box with the stack.
- Ctrl-up/ctrl-down: Push/pop messages onto a stack.
Mathematica
I love Mathematica.
Installing Trac
Installing Trac on Gentoo for multiples projects – I need to recompile Trac so it actually works.
Expose Issues
I love Apple’s Expose which is a great way to quickly see all the windows on your screen. In fact, I’ve even setup one of the side buttons on my mouse to activate the “All Windows” expose option. (Incidentally, the other side mouse button does the show “Desktop” option).
However, Expose has this little problem when all your windows are the exact same size and all right on top of each other (like if you have a bunch of Safari windows fully maximized after being loaded from say NetNewsWire).

Apple should try to do something to break the stalemate of where the individual windows go so you could at least see some of them.
However, the problem isn’t that bad because if you have any other window open (like Adium) it figures out a better placement.
Ranchero Software: NetNewsWire
Ranchero Software just released a new beta of NetNewsWire 2.0. It’s loaded with cool new features!
MarsEdit with WordPress
Ranchero Software just introduced MarsEdit which is in 1.0beta. It’s a competitor to other blog posting utilities like ecto.
It was a charm to get working with WordPress after I found instructions online. In fact, this post was written in MarsEdit
Let me quote the instructions for posterity:
In the (excellent) online help there are special instructions for a number of different blogs but there is not one for WordPress.
To get wordpress to work, the rpc url will be the home url plus “/xmlrpc.php”.
The blog-ID should be set to ‘default’ – it seems to hang if you set it to a number (like 1).
Also note that future posts will be retrieved even though they are not yet visible on the blog (in other words the xmlrpc is not filtering – this is not a MarsEdit problem).”
Amazon Instruments
Since when does Amazon.com sell Trombones?
