I’m liking TaskPaper for iPhone, but have run into a problem with syncing via SimpleText.ws
First, a little background:
I use Notational Velocity on my Mac. It stores its documents as plain text files in a folder on my hard drive. That folder lives in my Dropbox. That folder is also the folder I use to sync [...]
I had to make a quick form using ActionScript 2 today. I wanted to add a quick little feature where the default “filler” text would be wiped out when someone clicks on the text field to start editing. Also, if the user left the text field without typing anything, the “filler” text would come back.
Simple [...]

My thoughts? Cool. Except that the fonts look like crap. And it really looks like crap as it crawls off into the distance. And, as he said, “It only works in Snow Leopard in Safari 4.0.4 and the WebKit nightly.”
I should point out that I don’t think I have the WebKit nightly installed, [...]
Check out the demos.
Does it do anything besides play back linear animation? If not, WHO THE FUCK CARES?!
I’m in the middle of a project. I’m looking at my notes in Evernote and if a note can be saved as plain old text, then I’m pulling it out of Evernote and dumping it into Notational Velocity. NV is awesome. Ignore its ugly icon — are the letters made out of Jell-O? — and [...]
What do you prefer? When screencasts are clearly narrated while they are being recorded, such as Merlin Mann’s desktop tour or when it is obvious (or at least appears obvious to me) that the voiceover was added after the video portion was recorded, such as this screencast about Blogo? (I should mention that the Blogo [...]
…that I didn’t think would be a big deal at all:
The LED backlighting that means the screen has no “warm-up” time when I lift the lid. The screen is instantly at the brightness you want. No waiting and adjusting. A very nice touch. The multi-finger gestures on the trackpad. I’ve loved the two-finger scroll and right-click [...]

Delicious.
I switched to the integrated graphics in my 17″ MacBook Pro. Not only is battery life way ahead of what I was getting with the dedicated graphics, the machine runs a lot cooler and I don’t see any difference in performance. As long as I’m not playing 3D games (which I never do) [...]
I love my new 17″ MBP, but claiming that you can get 7 hours out of a charge while using the 9600M graphics is just a bit of a stretch. Unless, of course, that estimated battery life in the menu bar is way off. I’ll be lucky to get 5.5 hours and all I’ve been [...]
