No? Than it may be time to learn about Hallon, a menubar application that lets you bookmark […]
An interesting article on how to improve code readability and understandability by using a variable naming convention known as the Hungarian Notation.
I guess every programmer was once told to use meaningful variable names in whatever code they are writing. If we add meaning to our variable names we can greatly improve readability and make our […]
Last week TUAW asked their visitors “What would you change about Safari?”. This is the result:
Bookmark sorting
Easier to use plug-in system, (a la Firefox) especially since PimpMySafari.com is so big
Allow for different search engines in the search bar
Windows Media and Real plug-ins pre-installed, so Safari is even more web-friendly
Much better tab features, such as dragging/re-ordering […]
For too long evil applications have now taken away your precious CPU cycles. It’s time to stand up and do something against them. Words alone aren’t enough anymore; it’s time to act.

What is Open Source really? Bill Gates wants us to think that OS developers are communists, SAP’s Shai Agassi thinks intellectual property socialism is the worst that can happen to any IP-based society, but what they really want to achieve with their comments to the mainstream press is to not lose any more money to […]

The time has come, OS X Code (r,s) releases a first OS X application, Folder Clean-Up! So what does it do? The app is very similar to Chaos Antidote I’ve shown earlier on this blog. However, there are two main differences, it’s free and you just have to drop the messy folder you want to […]

Lets hope you never have to do this, but just in case you lose all your creativity, everyone around you makes a better job as you and you just get the last chance in your company with a big project you have to do on your own. As you fear losing the job, all you […]
I’m not a fan of big tools like Iconographer or IconBuilder to create icons for an application. These tools may be a good choice for someone that creates icons all day long, but if you just need to create an icon once in a while, you’re much better suited with something simple, something without tons […]
This ONLamp article is a must read for any entry-level open source developer or advocate. Not every open source developer believes every one of these ideas, either. Many experienced coders already have good discipline and well-reasoned habits. The rest of us should learn from their example, understanding when and why certain practices work and don’t […]
