The difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Absolutely brilliant. · 2005.12.27 22:04
My Jul gift to you all this year is brought to you in collaboration with everyone's favorite inebriated superhero: OmniGraffle Musical Taste. Take all the artists in your iTunes library, cut out everyone with less than five tracks, give each of them a bubble in an OmniGraffle (3.x or 4.x) chart, make the border thicker for those who have many tracks and connect it all to a central, "Musical Taste" bubble. It's an Applescript, and it's Mac OS X only. Just try doing this with Visio. Beta tested by the waferdev mailing list, Rudy and Britta. · 2005.12.22 22:00
Goodwill towards ducks from Tim Bray. I emailed him telling why link inserting is so slow (AppleScripts need to run in the main thread, so we start another helper process as to not block the UI) and that I've checked in support for other browsers (OmniWeb, NetNewsWire, Camino, the only ones capable at the time) which will be made available in 1.0. · 2005.12.17 12:20

And now, for something completely useless^Wdifferent

iPod Lap Timer. Very quickly thrown together OS X app (it wasn’t around by this time yesterday) that shows the stored Stopwatch data on your 5G iPod (”with video”) or iPod nano. Comes in source and binary - the source also features a text file, documenting the format (the primary reason that this tool was even created).

(Also, reportedly, Apple is stunned that I have adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker to break into the iPod… ;))
