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 ...

Bren, formerly of Slacker Manager fame, showed me this great little tip today. Playtagger is a feature brought to us by del.icio.us. Play Tagger is a neat little tool that allows you to easily play mp3 files directly on del.icio.us (see the popular mp3 bookmarks), and you can have it ...

More Excel love. I was working on a report a couple of weeks ago, and knew it was possible to have multiple lines of text in a cell, but didn't know how to do it. I know that with some HTML editors (e.g. Nvu) you can hold Shift ...

My dad runs a Joomla! based website that I have been hosting. Just recently we decided to migrate it to a different web host, so I had to figure out how to move it. I was initially puzzled by how to accomplish this move with the least amount of pain. ...

Mac OS X only -- that I know of, any word to the contrary is welcome. I was doing some Wordpress development this weekend while listening to my team on MLB Gameday Audio. While I attempted to Cmd-Tab to another application I miskeyed and hit Cmd-` (` is right above ...
