Pomodoro Desktop is a great utility to aid in Time Management. It helps break tasks down into simple, bite-sized chunks.
My workplace has a simple policy. If your iChat status is set to DND (Do Not Disturb), people leave you alone completely. I have found that people stress out less about not bei...
Running MAMP on standard ports (80 for Apache and 3306 for mySQL) makes MAMP ask for a password on each start up. I would like MAMP to start automatically when I log in without requiring a password.
There are a few ways to do this posted around the web, but they all involve hacking MAMP in one w...
Netflix Watch Instantly should work fine in Google Chrome. After all, it is using the same rendering engine as Safari, so it should just work, right?
The answer is not that simple…
Google Chrome for the Mac is 100% capable of running Netflix Watch Instantly, but the web-geeks at Netflix are ba...
Slowly but surely, my tech life gets more “Googley”.
I spend my days coding using GWT (Google Web Toolkit) using the Google Eclipse Plugin. I will be going to the Google I/O 2010 conference, including Google’s Boot Camp. Gmail is my main source of contact for email and instant messaging...
About 3 years ago, I moved from teaching to programming for a living. During that time, I have worked in 4GL languages like Genero from 4js, and more traditional languages like PHP, HTML, CSS, sqlite, mySQL, FileMaker, and now… Java.
Java was an incredible change for me. It was my first real O...
I am in the process of reorganizing the code for the CSS ad blocker. When I am finished, there will be 3 files. One will have all of the code additions that have been made over the last few months and it will be optimized for Safari v2 (meaning it will use display: none, block, inline, etc). The sec...
Although the builds are called nightlies, many of them are being issued each day now. I take this as a good sign. Safari v3’s final release must be immanent.Version 3 seems to handle some CSS that the earlier version did not. This may mark the “end” of GV as a regularly updated project. After some t...
Due to differences in behavior between Safari v3 Beta and the Safari (WebKit) Nightly Release, the October release of Good Vibrations is being delayed. I expect that Safari v3 will go final this month once Mac OSX 10.5 is released.Until then, either continue to use last month’s release or play wit...
GoodVibrations is finally becoming a real community effort. Michele Balistreri and Eric Caldwell have submitted some great fixes, tweaks, and general improvements to the code. I am now hosting it as a Google Docs document. People who have submitted fixes can ask for access to the current sourc...
I am amazed at how quickly GoodVibrations.css has spread. I’ve been contacted by helpful coders from as far off as Japan and Saudi Arabia with tweaks and fixes for this little ad blocker. This was always meant to be a community effort, and now I think there is enough momentum that it might actually...
It’s now official, Good Vibrations now includes Flash Blocking! It’s not perfect (nothing ever is), but as Safari heads toward v3-non-beta, this will only get better. A big thank you to everyone who has helped so far. All of the advice and bug reports have really helped. Keep it coming.
The big qu...
Thanks to a few bug reports, I found out that Good Vibrations blocked a lot of the Navigation content on YouTube. The latest beta takes care of that. It also blocks many flash-ads. So, check it out:

There have been lots of changes to Good Vibrations this month. I have gotten reports of (and fixed) many site-related bugs. But, the thing that excites me most so far is flash-based ad blocking. You can test it out in the current beta:
