Getting back on the web when you lose your browser

Computer failures usually don’t happen often, but when they do, most people don’t know how to fix them. This happened to my mom a few months back; she was doing a Mac OS X update when she had a power failure. The updater was updating her browser at the time, so when the power came back on and she rebooted her system, she didn’t have a browser. Without a browser, there was no way to download it again.

Managing your Twitter connections

Recently, Twitter started to allow third party sites to access your Twitter account by using OAuth. This is a much safer way to grant access to these sites without having to type in your username and password in plain text like they used to. However, once these connections are made, how do you manage them?

Handling your inbox with Gmail labels

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s a cluttered inbox. I try to keep my mail organized in such a way where I know exactly where to find something when I need it. In the case of my POP accounts, I have Entourage sort all my incoming mail into folders based on account first, and then a subfolder. If you use Gmail, you’ll find that it doesn’t use folders, but labels. While the lack of folders may push people away from even trying to organize their Gmail inbox, I found that even though I was against using it, once you understand how it works, it’s really not that bad.

Fixing the default Macintosh network share name

I’m constantly sharing Mac and Windows machines on the same network, but for some reason, Apple decided to make the default Mac share name the ID of your MAC address. MAC is not the same as Macintosh, but stands for “Media Access Control” ID which uniquely IDs all network cards. This helps, but the name doesn’t really help describe which Mac you’re pointing to if you have more than one.

Anatomy of an iPhone Wallpaper

A few days ago I started working on some classic videogame iPhone wallpapers which have gotten thousands of views after I posted them and were mentioned on the AppSlappy podcast. I wanted to write a bit about how I put them together.

The iPhone’s screen is 320×480 and has two tall banners on its home screen, one on the top and one on the bottom. What annoys me about slapped-together wallpapers is how they just resize images to fit the screen and don’t take the banners into account. If images are blindly resized, the result is cutting off heads or logos that look amateurish.
