- Microsoft Office Update Adds Spotlight and Sync Services Integration ★
-
Jim Dalrymple:
Changes in the Office update will bring Mac users functionality that they have been requesting for some time. Entourage now includes support for Sync Services, which enables customers to sync calendar events, contacts and tasks with handheld devices and other applications that support Apple’s Sync Services.
- Scripts - Fraser Speirs Wiki ★
-
Growing collection of useful scripts by Frasier Speirs. His “Add front Safari tab to Yojimbo” looks like a winner to me.
- NetNewsWire 2.1: Sorting by Attention ★
-
Not sure I’m going to use this, but it’s a neat idea. Could be really useful for NNW users subscribed to a ton of feeds.
- Typographic History at a Glance ★
-
Typebox’s wonderful overview of typographic history from the 1400s through 1800. (Via Jim Coudal.)
- OnMac.Net: How to Install Windows XP on an Intel-Based Mac ★
-
I suspect I’m going to find it more than a little disturbing the first time I encounter a Mac running Windows.
- Starting With 10.4.3, Disk Utility Can Verify Your Startup Disk ★
-
Somehow I missed this until now:
With Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later, Disk Utility can verify your computer’s startup disk (volume) without requiring you to start up from another volume. This feature is called “Live Verification.” If Disk Utility discovers any issues that require a repair, you will need to start up from your Mac OS X Tiger DVD or CD and use Disk Utility on that disc to make repairs. (You can’t repair your startup volume while your computer is started up from it.)
- Rands In Repose: SXSW: Best of Show ★
-
SXSW festival wrap-up from my friend and Austin Hilton roommate Rands. His “Top Three Themes Discussed at Bars” pretty much matches the list I’d have written, although I guess that’s not surprising considering we were at the same places.
