globeandmail.com: Heavy web downloaders face broadband fees
This infuriates me. The lack of choices in the Canadian market. The lack of a regulatory body that works for the people, not the communications industry.
It’s not the downloading cap, it’s that these companies get to choose the Internet we Canadians get to experience, and it’s not even a matter of “against the law”. Downloading for personal use is still legal in Canada, uploading is another story.
I’ve already had iTunes purchased tracks and podcast downloads broken due to Rogers inability to put in their version of traffic shaping.

ollicle: Ollicle Reflex refined for smarter feed reading
When I first started using NetNewsWire, I began using a theme called Citizen Kubric (no longer available online, that I could find). When it came time to install NetNewsWire on my new MacBook Pro, I was unable to locate this theme, and ended up using one of the default themes.
The Ollicle Reflex theme is far more readable than Citizen Kubric, and the layout is simple and useful. I will now be using this theme on all my NetNewsWire installations.

How to Convert a MacOS X 10.5 Leopard Upgrade DVD into a Retail MacOS X 10.5 Leopard
Having recently gone through the process of installing 10.4, only to erase it immediately and install 10.5, this would have come in useful and saved me 2 to 3 hours.

Lightroom Export Plugin for Flickr
Posting a photo with Lightroom has always been a two step process for me. Export with a preset size to a directory, and upload to the website. I’m more than happy to reduce this work to 1 step.

Grep in Project command for TextMate - The Pug Automatic
I find myself dropping to a terminal window just to run grep, but not anymore. This TextMate command is fast, and saves me time versus running grep in a terminal window.

Long and shortened URL scripts
I’m a Quicksilver junkie, so much so that when I’m on a mac without Quicksilver, I have a hard time finding the programs and actions I’m looking for. Having said that, I know I’ve barely scratched the surface. I come across these tips from time to time, and think they’re a really good idea. Time will tell if I’ll use it or not however, but it’s still a good idea.
