Fun web wargame

I found a nice little wargame online the other day - weewar.com.

It's turn based so you don't have to commit to blowing all your free time on it, and simple enough to play quickly. Feel free to invite me to a game - I'm jpb there.

HandBrake 0.8.5b1 Released

All sorts of nice stuff. Cool new features include AppleTV support & surround sound.

Get it here.

MacFUSE 0.2.5

Another rev of MacFUSE stuff available here. Enjoy.

Good Firefox extension for GMail

Lifehacker has a post here showing how to use the extension they've compiled a bunch of good Greasemonkey extensions for making GMail even more easy to use into.

More keyboard macros, adds icons to messages with attachments, saving searches, a helper for making a new filter based on the message you're looking at, and more goodies.

Google Desktop for Mac

So I can finally talk about this. To sum up, very cool. You can use it for launching applications like Quicksilver, or just use it to search the docs on your machine like Spotlight, only with less frustration. And you can have it search your GMail account, too.

Fun with iPhoto

Nathaniel Grey has a great little plugin for iPhoto that lets you use your own scripts when you export photos here.

You can specify scripts that get run before the export, for each file in the export, and after the export. And they can be in real languages, not just AppleScript.

Use Google Calculator as OS X Service

Christopher Biagini packaged up an OS X service that wraps Google Calculator here.

Get subversion to launch on boot on OSX

There's a good article on how to get subversion server to start on boot on OS X here.

Serverskine

Free, and handy for the OS X based web developers.

Serverskine

"Designed to allow web developers, who deal with many projects at once, quick access to FTP, hosting accounts, domain name accounts and more. Especially when dealing with off-site shared hosting, keeping track of usernames and passwords can be daunting. Serverskine eliminates the terror by allowing you to quickly organize, search, edit, and backup all of your important account information."
