  11. StuMoD - freight train of wit and cleverosity

    NMP3 Ripper is another alternative for encoding MP3s using LAME, but I haven’t tried it.

  12. Max from sbooth.org

    Blacktree’s iTunes-LAME script for encoding MP3s with LAME malfunctions with recent versions of iTunes. Max is an alternative, but seems a bit overkill just for this job.

    Mac notebook app to try one day. Maybe I can sync it with my Treo somehow?

  25. Potion Factory Blog » Blog Archive » Introducing Tangerine

    Interesting Mac app for creating iTunes playlists organised by BPM. It’s BPM-working-out algorithm needs some tweaking though, as it’s more miss than hit for me (eg, it thinks a few slow acoustic guitar tracks are 180 BPM). (via Plasticbag)

    If you download a WebKit nightly build there’s a handy inspector for debugging CSS problems in Safari.

    Again, just in case I start using Strongspace, saves me Googling again.

  30. Strongspace Weblog - Syncing With Rsync

    In case I start using Strongspace and forget where to find these instructions.

  31. Peter Maurer - Witch

    Application switcher for Mac that lets you switch between windows, not just applications. Very handy for those of us trying to avoid the mouse. Oodles of options.

  32. Soundstream

    If I used a screensaver… Reacts to sounds it hears through your Mac’s microphone. Only appeared on my PowerBook’s screen, not the external monitor, but still nice.

  33. 3000 miles from home | aram kudurshian’s web site | high priority

    I read annoyingly slowly.

  42. Blacktree - Forums - View topic - Doesn’t work under 10.4
