The Mac App Store: Falling In Love Again

Andy Ihnatko on why the Mac App Store makes a lot of sense going forward.

Generating this image was a needlessly long and complicated process. Oh, the app is easy as pie. It was only complicated because I hadn’t really used the app in ages. I downloaded a fresh copy from HDRSoft and looked in my Mail archive for the license code, but I couldn’t find it. I used their website’s automated thingy to have it re-sent to me, but they didn’t have the code on file and it was a holiday weekend.

Jason Snell broke my iTunes sync!

Dammit!! Why won’t you sync!

True story, I was reading Jason’s article, iTunes: Time to right the syncing ship, just now and he’s complaining about how broken iTunes is, and articulating the issues he’s had with syncing, and how complicated it’s gotten since iCloud sync came along, blah blah, wah wah…and I was about to write a pithy reply saying that I’ve never had dramas with it, and really it’s not that broken, and I then I got distracted and plugged my iPad in to sync it and boom!

It won’t sync!

Damn you @jsnell!

Hopefully a reboot will fix this.

Update:

- fortunately a reboot did fix it, there must have been something janky going on because I had to force quite iTunes, Mail.app, MAMP, and Safari. Time to force a backup I think, just in case!

The Super Sweet 1Password Trick You’re Almost Certainly Not Using

Amazeballs!

Open the 1Password app on your Mac and click over to the Logins area. You’ll see a big ass list of all of the logins currently stored in 1Password (duh). Now, I want you to position the main 1Password window right next to your favorite web browser.

Next, click and drag one of your commonly used 1Password logins onto your browser’s bookmark bar

Thanks Brett

40 tips in 40 minutes show notes

Brett Terpstra just posted his presentation / show notes from the talk he did with Merlin Mann and David Sparks at Macworld.

David and Merlin haven’t even seen this site yet, I don’t think, so it will be a bit before I get links from their presentations up. I’m posting some of my own notes in the meantime. Watch for news about more tips soon!

This satisfies my inner geek in ways that are difficult to express. Hopefully there will be a video or at least some audio posted from the presentation shortly.
