Snow Leopard
So, [Erwin][] posted his _first impressions_ list, which reminded me that I’ve done one of my own from time to time, so here goes. I didn’t do a regular upgrade, and even then I don’t really remember how long it … Continue reading
ThisSpace
One of the first things that happened to me in Spaces that irked me was its auto-switching to another space when I didn’t want it to. Sure, that’s probably what I’d want it to do a lot of the time, … Continue reading
iTerm/TextMate Here
Yes, again. Inspired by [other][other1] [solutions][other2] to the same problems, here are updated versions of these scripts. The primary difference is that they’re based on Apple’s droplet sample, so you can either click on them (for the current directory) or … Continue reading
Later that year…
A while back, [John Gruber][df] posted a [FastScripts][fast] [script][ntp] to fix a loathsome Apple Mail behavior, which was shortly followed by [signature-enabled][ntps] improvements.

When I log into my user account on my PowerBook, everything stops for a few minutes. Drops of rain stop in mid-air, the wind falls still, the clock stops ticking, and my cat stops preening himself. I’m tired of this. … Continue reading
A bash script to mess with the containing Terminal.app window
I found it, but I still don’t have a clue as to why I wrote it to begin with: function setgeometry { local rows=`expr “$1″ : ‘[0-9]*x([0-9]*)$’` local cols=`expr “$1″ : ‘([0-9]*)x[0-9]*$’` case $TERM in Apple_Terminal) window=`osascript -e ‘tell app … Continue reading
Beautiful
[AppleScript][applescript] — maybe you’ve heard of it. In fact, if you’re reading my website, you’ve probably heard of it. What’s cool about AppleScript is basically what I have been known to say is cool about PHP; its a big spool … Continue reading
BBEdit Text•Shift Right Script
This is an AppleScript that I used with BBEdit to make the text-indent commands behave the way I expected. It has two known defects: – When multiple lines are selected, they don’t stay that way – Errors get thrown in … Continue reading
