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

TextMate Here
That was actually the first post in a series (of two). This one opens a new TextMate window on the selected item (if there’s a single item selected), or the current folder otherwise. This makes the script a lot shorter … Continue reading
iTerm Here
This is, for lack of a better description, my version of the _Open a Command Window Here_ Windows XP PowerToy. I’ve played around with doing this from the context menu, but I eventually decided I’m not fond of that approach. … Continue reading
Updates
Okay, I rebuilt the site again. Since I didn’t just copy the theme over, there will likely be some formatting quirks. On the plus side, since Wordpress is one-click installed now, hopefully we can stop counting the lag between Erwin … Continue reading
