Some useful things I could have used yesterday while I was making the F-Script Anywhere icon (in Photoshop and Iconographer, FWIW.)

IconFamily class: provides manipulation of Mac OS X icon families in Cocoa.

Can Combine Icons 2.0. Combines icons, as it says. The interface takes a bit of getting used to; I don't like the use of hierarchical pop-up menus, but the results (especially the ability to adjust perspective to put an icon label on a folder icon) are wonderful.

OmniWeb tip: If you are sick and tired of having the return key enter a partial URL instead of selecting from the autocompletion list, press control-return instead.

Oh, another one. Try option-dragging a link on a Web page. That's been there for some time, but I had forgotten about it. Now that OmniWeb's speed and CSS support is improving, I'm using it a lot more recently… not to mention it's so much better than anything else on the Mac to write in.

Working on getting my WebDAV fileWriter to work with Radio 8.

Wow, am I ever bad at predicting how long things will take. I estimated two hours for cleaning up and releasing F-Script Anywhere, it ended up taking seven. Version 1.0 is out now. I got some great feedback from the initial test version. F-Script's author called it “brilliant”. IMO, that's a bit of an overstatement, but it's nice to be appreciated. :-)

Unlike ICeCoffEE, this one is unlikely to be useful for non-programmers, though it's certainly going to be a big help as I develop new versions of ICeCoffEE.

I'll spend a few minutes after I get some sleep, and put out ICeCoffEE 1.1.1 with a couple of minor changes. Definitely no more work on any free-time projects this weekend as I need to get a proposal to my advisor on Monday morning.

Cleaning up stuff today.

Found a bug in Project Builder: it lets you create recursive target dependencies, but then you can't remove them. Luckily the .pbxproj file is formatted as a property list, and easy to understand, so I was able to figure out what to edit in a few minutes, and fix the problem. There's something to be said for human-readable file formats.
