WordPress Linked List URL Plugin

Andy Assareh — Tue, 25 May 2010 18:10:03 +0000

I’ve changed the way I post links to my blog to the “linked list” format. Now when I post a link, the RSS feed item will take you directly to the external link. It’s the same format John Gruber uses on daringfireball.net. This plugin makes it very easy to do on WordPress.

High quality utility for Leopard that allows you to easily resize windows to fullscreen or half-screen and back. Tried it for a week and now I’m hooked. Free version with periodic nag or $7 paid.

MyWi

Ever since my fiance got a first gen iPod touch I’ve been looking for the best way to share internet with her in places where wifi was unavailable. In my search I found MyWi, but long ago when I did the 7-day demo I found the app buggy and slow so I didn’t buy it. After trying it again recently I changed my mind. It’s a fantastic app that turns your jailbroken iPhone into a wifi hotspot. There are other ways of wifi tethering but this is the only way that doesn’t require a PC to start the wifi network. With MyWi your iPhone creates the wifi network. If you’re phone is already jailbroken it’s available in Cydia for $10.

WordPress 2 for iPhone

Andy Assareh — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 20:00:52 +0000

Not sure how I missed this but if you use the WordPress iPhone app make sure you have the 2.0 release. I’m perplexed at why they did it this way since both versions are free but they made version 2 a new app. In either case, just got it and it is way better than the original!

Really digging this Dashboard widget for SimpleNote. I prefer it over the web app. Looks nice too.

AppleScript Email Announcer

Andy Assareh — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 08:01:10 +0000

For some reason I find this incredibly trick.. It’s old but I’ve just discovered it. It’s an AppleScript that reads the “from” field of incoming email messages using Mac OS text-to-speech. To use it, launch AppleScript Editor and paste in the code. Save it somewhere on your disk. Then create a rule in Mail.app (Preferences, Rules) and set the action to Run AppleScript, selecting the script file that you saved.
