I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed! Here I am, with LeopÂard on my MacÂbook for a year, and I didn’t know this existed!
Do you have LeopÂard? Find a font file on your comÂputer. Click on it once, withÂout openÂing it. Hit the space bar. You’ll see the conÂtents of the file! Magic!
With this BrushView pluÂgin, you can see the conÂtents of your phoÂtoÂshop brush files, so you don’t have to have every sinÂgle one of them loaded all the time. My sanÂity has been saved!
Here’s a sneak-peak preÂview of what’s comÂing up in CS5… interÂestÂing stuff with paint & warpÂing. It’s a bit corny, but the techÂniques are cool.
FlexÂCal powÂers iCal with a hotkey. It’s just a prefÂerÂence pane for Mac OSX that allows you to add events or tasks to iCal with a hotkey. And it’s free. Things is super cool for task manÂageÂment, but the hotkey was really what sold me on the proÂgram. Now I can do it with iCal, which I already had. Oh well.
It appears that you can only do one or the other, though– events or tasks. And since Things syncs up with iCal’s ToDo’s, maybe it wasn’t a comÂplete waste of money I had at the time. But for those of you who are lookÂing, look into FlexÂCal before you spend any cash, and just use what you already have. Time will tell which one wins with me, because one of them has to.
