Fluid on Mac

Aug 29, 2008 Author: psousa | Filed under: Apple, Blog, Web

If you’re a Mac user and an avid consumer of web applications (Flickr, Delicious, Basecamp, Netvibes, Gmail, etc, just to name a few) then you’ll problably be happy to install Fluid.

Fluid is a small application for the Mac which enables you to create Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) for your most used web applications. That means they will run as if they were a stand alone application on your Mac with it’s own desktop icon, menubar, etc.

You can even leave it the dock for easy access to your app, so give Fluid a try, it’s free. There’s even a Flickr Group full of icons for your dock.

Note: If you’re using Windows I guess you could try Prism from Mozilla Labs.

quick tip: send emails on mac

Aug 26, 2008 Author: psousa | Filed under: Apple, Blog, Programming

For some reason my local Ruby on Rails applications weren’t sending  e-mails, so I found out that all you need is to write the following on terminal:

sudo postfix start


And that’s it, now I can send emails from applications running on my Mac. Nice!

Faceyourmanga or not

Aug 22, 2008 Author: psousa | Filed under: Blog, Web

This afternoon when I looked around in Twitter it seemed most of my friends had their avatars replaced with a manga version, after some digging around I found out the culprit is Faceyourmanga.

You can create an avatar for yourself and customize it with plenty of options (clothes, faces, masks, whatever pleases you the most).

What’s so amazing is how quickly it spread on services like Twitter.

Meanwhile it seems there’s already an stopyourfacemanga.
