A short while ago, I was talking with a co-worker about personal productivity (i.e. to-do) systems. There are so many systems out there, and each with their own spin on GTD. He showed me one that is a spin on the TiddlyWiki system: Tiddlyspot.Tiddlyspot is a hosted version of TiddlyWiki, with a twist. Not only can you work [...]
One thing that I was dreading about this Safari-for-a-week thing was having to manually copy over my bookmarks from Firefox. There’s not much worse than wasting a bunch of time doing copy, paste, repeat. A little Google search, and we have a winner!
If you’ve got Safari 2.0 (or higher) you’ve got import and export options in the File [...]
I’ve seen some chatter about the Mac utility, Paparazzi, that captures the entire length of a webpage into an image. Great product, but limited to those of us who have chosen to “walk in the light” of Mac OS X. I was looking for something similar, but for Windows.

Bren posted about this a good while ago, but I get so much use out of it that I figured I’d spread it around again.
If you accidentally close a tab you can bring it back from the netherworld by hitting Shift+Cmd+T (on a Mac) or Shift+Ctrl+T (on Windows).

Ctrl-k on Windows, Cmd-k on Mac, and Ctrl-j on Linux selects the search box. Until I found this I would do Alt-D/Cmd-L to select the Location Bar, and then Tab to the search box.
Once you are in the search box you [...]
One thing I am regularly frustrated with is the lack of ability to enter a TAB into a web form. There are times when you want to use TAB spacing, but are relegated to hitting the spacebar a bunch of times. With Tabinta — Tab In Textarea — that problem just disappears. [...]
For a long time — so long I can’t remember when I started — My Yahoo! has been my homepage. Back when Yahoo! was king they were the (possibly) the first to do a customizable portal page. Since I started using it the content I have on the page hasn’t really changed.
When I [...]
One of my favorite features of Firefox is the keystroke for completing domain names. For example:
You use ctrl-D (on Windows or Linux) or cmd-L (on Mac) to select the address bar
You type in the domain name sans extension e.g. techjive
Depending on the extension (.com, .net, .org) you use the appropriate keystroke and it prepends [...]
