  • Improving my Delicious command for Ubiquity - 0xDECAFBAD - Mozilla Firefox
    Great improvements, but this also highlights how counter-intuitive/confusing Ubiquity commands can be (see my comments on the post - it took me ages to work out how to use the new features, and I still can’t do my usual ‘quote something from the page I’m bookmarking, then add my own comment’ thing).

  • Panic - Extras - Miscellanous Bits of Panic
    Panic are giving away Transmit 1.7 for OS 9, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the app. I’m pretty sure Transmit (née Transit) is the only app I’ve used for ten years. Though nowadays it only gets launched very occasionally, thanks to ExpanDrive, which suits my light use of SFTP much better.

  • PostSpectacular: Faber Finds generative book covers
    "A year ago Faber & Faber commissioned me to help with the design of a software system to generate complete & print ready book covers for their new imprint. The challenge proved to be more of a creative than a technical one, as the task given was to build a “design machine” which would be flexible enough to generate a very large (theoretically infinite) number of unique designs, one for each single book ever printed in this range, within the agreed boundaries set by the art direction(s) of Faber design team."
  • precipitate - Google Code
    Search your stuff on Google Docs from Spotlight. (I don't use Google Docs, but really like this sort of integration between the desktop and web services.)

    A site that maps surnames. Or would do, if it actually worked - at the moment it just throws an error for me (Safari) or fails to load its maps (Firefox).
