Переслать - Mac Developer Tips
Filed under: Developer
There is a saying that 'those who can't do, teach.' I would suggest a slight variation on that old chestnut: 'those who can't code, blog.' That certainly applies to me, since I wouldn't be able to code my way out of a brown paper bag (and I am sure there are some who would argue I would have a tough time writing my way out of that proverbial bag as well) but perhaps Mac Developer Tips can help me.
As the name implies, Mac Developer Tips is chockablock with tips and tricks for Mac developers. Amongst the many tips are how to rename a mess of file extensions at the same time, recreate some Dock effects with JavaScript, and how to use tag completion in TextMate.
Check out the site, you just might learn a thing or two.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsПереслать - Pingie brings TUAW's WWDC coverage to your phone

On WWDC Eve, we at TUAW are hard at work keeping an eye out for the unknown and unexpected. We just received a tip showing what appears to be the Mac Nano computer that we've all wanted -- and it looks to be aimed towards the developer crowd.
The pictures appear to show a Mac geared towards developers on Windows and Linux systems. "Leave Windows behind. Build your Apps for OS X" states the title. While we are extremely cautious about rumors like these right before WWDC, we did have a rumor that a "new Mac" or at least an updated Mac might be released.

Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts
Last week's talkcast included some great WWDC preview discussion with developers Kai Cherry and Todd Ditchendorf along with an expanded panel. Apologies for the scratchy audio (we had to use the Talkshoe low-bandwidth recording instead of the local Skype copy). Download the show from Talkshoe, play it from the Flash player in the continuation of this post, if you like, or pick it up on iTunes.
Join us again later tonight, Sunday June 8 at 10 pm ET for more WWDC conversation -- let us know what you want to hear about and which developers you want us to interview, and our man on the ground in San Francisco will try to track them down. Time and personnel permitting, we'll be back on the air Monday night with another show; keep an eye on the TalkShoe page and our Twitter feed for scheduling.

Filed under: iLife, Odds and ends
iWeb 2 (the iLife '08 version, that is) comes with an assortment of 26 different themes, but if you're tired of trying to mod the Comic Book theme for your new blog, you may want to look at ten new iWeb themes from Jumsoft.
There's a good assortment of styles in the Jumsoft collection. I personally find the Teddy theme to be a bit twee and Flowered World is too feminine for my taste, but YMMV. My personal faves from the new collection are the sparse and paper-like Simple Info, and the pastel and plastic Business. An installer app is included to make sure that your new themes end up in the proper place on your Mac.
Jumsoft sells each theme for $9.99 or you can buy the entire pack of ten themes at a 30% discount for $69.99. If you're an iWeb fan and want some additional design options, take a look at the new themes.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsПереслать - Text to Audiobook free script
The idea of being able to select text and have it automatically converted into an audiobook using text-to-speech isn't a new one, but it is a good one. I mean, who doesn't love the idea of being able to take longer text on the road with you and listen to it in the car or on the bus?
Well, if you loved the idea as much as I did, but didn't think you'd be using it enough to justify coughing up some dough for it, you're in luck. Over at Mac OS X Hints, user miketyson has created a script that will add a service to your Mac's Services menu. The new service, which is appropriately called Speak to iTunes Audiobook, allows you to select a body of text and automatically have it converted into an audiobook, then have it imported straight into iTunes.
In testing the script works as advertised. My only quibble is that the clipped audiobooks don't get any sort of meaningful name given to them. They are simply named Speech 1, Speech 2, etc. If the script was smart enough to look at the title of the document the text was being clipped from and generate a title from that, this would be a killer utility. But that's really only a minor complaint considering the heavy lifting this little script actually accomplishes. And heck, if you find yourself using it, you might consider going back and giving GhostReader a second look.

Students: Get an iPod touch free with qualifying Mac purchase
Apple started their new "Back to School" promotion for 2008. This is Apple's most expensive give-away to new Mac purchasers, being as the iPod touch is $299. However, this should make Mac using college students everywhere rejoice.

Filed under: WWDC, Internet Tools
In the Venn diagram of users, the intersection of "Mac" and "Twitter" appears to be quite large. Why this is, I'm not sure, but it's true that many Mac users rely on the short-message broadcasting service for their day-to-day lives.
There's some concern in both communities that the flood of new tweets about announcements at tomorrow's WWDC will break the back of the Twitter infrastructure. Their uptime has been mostly in the 90s this month, with some features still disabled for performance reasons.
Do you think it will hold up? What will do you if Twitter grinds itself into metal shavings?
A poll and results, plus more updates (!!) all after the jump.
