Google Notebook in Safari works (well, somewhat)

11 05 2008

When using Safari to access Google Notebook you can view the contents, but you can’t edit them. In the past I would fire up Camino of Firefox instead. However, installing the “Debug” menu in Safari will allow you to add and edit notebooks.

Do this in your Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

restart Safari and choose “User Agent/Firefox Mac …” from the Debug menu





Jailbroken iPhone

15 04 2008

After being a very satisfied customer with the current iPhone (1.1.4), and considering the fact it almost never crashed, I decided it was time to jailbreak it and install ‘almost’ useful apps on it!

Here the steps:

  • download ZiPhone
  • connect your iPhone and make sure to exit iTunes
  • in Settings/General turn Auto-Lock to ‘Never’
  • start ZiPhone
  • press ‘Jailbreak’
  • wait for the phone to restart a couple of times
  • done

 

You will end up with two new icons on your iPhone:

simply start the Installer app and install away! I ended up with these apps:

free mobile calls, live chat & presence over internet data plan or wifi

Capture

And last but not least, here my current iPhone screens:

Favorites: LaunchBar

Now, this is a tool you have to pay money for $19.95, but I believe it’s worth every penny. I know there are alternatives – like QuickSilver which I believe never came out of it’s beta state. It is free however. And has an open plugin platform. However, it’s a bit too geeky (if there is such a thing) for my taste.

Here a couple of features I really enjoy and use on a daily basis:

It also allows for setting up search templates manually for any site really easily. A great time saver.
