Kevin Brubeck Unhammer added code to clear read-only properties on things at point.

We got Tate’s guitar working with Garage band this weekend and I got to have some fun playing with it last night. Take a listen: rockabill-e.mp3

Google Chrome bookmarks are separate from those saved in Google Bookmarks. While it’s currently not possible to automatically sync these two sets of bookmarks, you can use a bookmarklet to easily create Google Bookmarks in Google Chrome.

Drag this bookmarklet to the Google Chrome bookmarks bar: Google Bookmark

Any time you visit a webpage that you want to save to your Google Bookmarks page, simply click the bookmarklet in the bookmarks bar.

This makes no sense to me at all. Why have all of these web services and then not integrate them with your browser? If google would have synced all of my currently sorted bookmarks into the browser then I would use chrome. As of now it’s just another damn browser I have to test sites against.

Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a quality that decides between success and failure.

I collected some of the tabs that I have made and put them on a single page. I also added a couple that I have never posted here.

btw, tuxguitar dosen’t work with Snow Leopard. It is looking for a 32-bit jvm.

Multiple language output has been added to google-define.el.

I wrote some python code that will let you build different types of printable calendars without to much effort. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll put it on github. Here are a few examples:

This is a full year on a single page:

This is a folding calendar:

And here is one that will let you mark the kinds of exercise you have done and the time spent on each:
