I recently read Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. Sandra Miesel cuts through the crap and sums it up nicely in her breakdown of Brown’s novel. At Crisis Magazine

Carsten Blüm has lots of cool utils he’s packaged for OS X at his bluem.net site.

htmldoc

htmldoc is a shell-based application that provides conversion of HTML in PDF, PostScript or indexed HTML files. This even works with remote files via HTTP.

BBClick

Problem: You are a BBEdit user and work in a keyboard-oriented way: you have assigned lots of shortcuts to menu items and do as much as possible without even touching the mouse. But still, there are two user interface elements that are not accessible from the keyboard: the function popup and the marker popup in text windows’ status bars.

Sitecopy

Sitecopy is a shell application that’s very useful when programming for the web (at least in those cases when you can’t use rsync). Its purpose is to synchronize local and remote files, i.e.: upload those that are outdated on the server, remove old ones and so on. The application is Open Source Software and was not written by me—I only compiled it and built the OSX installer package.

A Coldfusion language specification file for Xcode. Unfortunately other than syntax coloring, this langspec doesn’t yet provide any of the good stuff like symbol indexing. I would be very interested to hear if anyone knows what the following words in the langspec file do:

• AltKeywords
• IdentifierChars
• IdentifierStartChars
• PreprocessorKeyword
• PreprocessorKeywordStart
• SourceScannerClassName

To install, put the unzipped files in:

/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Specifications

and restart Xcode.

Adapted from the Actionscript language specification by Sam Robbins and Rob Bevan, and the ASPX Syntax Definition from Druware. Thanks Guys!

Pages Checked Out

Pages Checked Out is my first mod/hack/extension for Dreamweaver. It’s just the existing Macromedia written Checked Out By site report with a few lines rewritten so it works they way I want it to. The code was pretty basic to change but it was a good excercise in Javascripting and Regexp.

Pages Checked Out is an alternative Site Report for Dreamweaver MX that only reports HTML type files, rather than all files types the default reports shows. It makes the ‘checked out name field’ shorter, and best of all it includes the full pathname to the file. I especially wanted this last feature because my sites tend to have a lot of index.html. index.cfm, index.asp files, and without any path information the regular site report is useless to me. The side effect is that this change effects default site report.

To install unzip Reports.zip to your configuration folder:

~/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX 2004/[Reports]
