I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, complete with the MultiTouch trackpad. One issue I have with it, is that I can’t use the pinch zoom gesture with web based maps or images. It increases font size, instead of zooming. So I donned my cape and exclaimed “This looks like a job for JAVASCRIPT!”
First, I [...]
I may be in the minority in using multiple accounts on a mac, but I figure this may help some people.
Me and my wife shared* a MacBook for a while and I was constantly wanting to transfer files from one of our user accounts home directory to the other. I don’t think there is [...]
Since Leopard released, I’ve been using Spotlight as a launcher. It works surprisingly well; however, I’ve run into a couple things. One of which being if I type “terminal” into spotlight, the “Top Hit” is OpenTerminalHere.app - which if you launch it without any finder windows, it would error out.

A friend of mine, GutBomb, added some Bingo checking to my iPhone Bingo javascript. However, as of this moment, I have disabled the alerts. I’ll be working on an alternate notification system.

I posted a terminal command about 7 months ago about cleaning up SVN working directories. Unbeknownst to me, wordpress chewed up the code and spit out a useless shell of the command’s former self.

find -d “your/working/directory” -name “.svn” -exec rm -r ‘{}’ \; -print
I needed it this time, [...]
With all the general grumble about the Safari-is-the-SDK-for-the-iPhone on the internet, I figure that… hey, if the internet *is* where all the iPhone apps are, all web apps are iPhone apps. So, I made a badge.
Feel free to include this image on your Safari Tested™ blog (or web app) if you feel like Steve is [...]
If you’re using SVN for keeping your source safe for web apps, you may notice uploading the working folder also uploads all those hidden .svn folders. Not ideal.
Here’s the shell command to delete all those .svn files from your working directory:
find -d “your/working/directory” -name “.svn” -exec rm -r ‘{}’ \; -print
The -d flag (-depth) means [...]
I usually hit cmd+tab and then mouse over the app icon i’m looking for and let go to switch to that app; it’s faster than cmd+tab+tab+(repeat for every app open).
