Today we released www.uglycute.com — the result of a two day workshop together with Konst & Teknik, Ola Bergengren, Uglycute and me.

things-rb—command line tool and Ruby library for Things.app
I wanted to display my ToDos from Things on the Desktop using GeekTool so I created a command line tool in Ruby (backed by a library) to access the database.
This way you can see what needs to be done but without switching (or even launching Things)
It’s in a pretty early state right now and [...]

RailsTerm 0.3
Just a quick note that RailsTerm, my AppleScript to automatically open the tabs (in OS X 10.5 Terminal) needed for Rails development), is bumped to version 0.3.
Since I use Passenger (mod_rails) and Passenger.prefpane for my local development the script will now auto detect the virtual hosts available on your system (in /etc/apache2/passenger_pane_vhosts/*.vhost.conf). I use [...]

Copying to clipboard with JavaScript in Flash 10
As you might know, we have a feature on CopyPasteCharacter to let the user copy a character to their clipboard by just clicking on the character. An invisible Flash movie would do the copying using the ActionScript function System.setClipboard.
In October, Adobe updated the Flash Player to version 10, which included some security changes, like: “Setting [...]

Pluxemburg.com
Pluxemburg.com is the website for Swedish technotronica band Pluxus and the record label Pluxemburg they run together with Jonas Sevenius and us (Martin Ström and Peter Ström).
Pluxemburg has since its launch in 2000 gone from a small independent label with only one artist—Pluxus—to bigger with several artists (and grammy awards!) and then back to again [...]

Copy Paste Character
Two weeks ago we (me and Konst & Teknik) launched copypastecharacter.com—a site to make it dead easy to copy those special characters which otherwise can be hard to find. We just pushed an update and I realized I hadn’t mentioned it here.
The character you click will automatically get copied into your clipboard, thanks to [...]

./script/server with automatic port finder
This is the script I’m using when I start my local Rails development server. It will automatically detect the next available port starting at the default port 3000 so I can have multiple servers running without remembering what ports that are already busy.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
DEFAULT_PORT = 3000
puts (`ps aux | grep [r]uby | grep script/server`.split(”\n”).map { [...]

Multi-dimensional array sorter
The other day when working on some small updates on konst-teknik.se I wanted to sort the projects in a multi dimensional way, and take the other factors than the first into account. JavaScript’s Array#sort only supports one dimensional sorting so I wrapped my own sorter.
The results turned up pretty good (at least compared to the [...]

iCal & iPhone syncing in Leopard
Looks like I’m not the only one having problems with my iCal to/from iPhone syncing.
After trying almost every possible solution I found in various forums and google, I finally came up with a fix that works for me. Like many others, I suspected the subscribed calendars were the problem and the iPhone synced fine [...]

Mac OS X 10.5.1 and Multi-Safari
Seems like Multi-Safari (at least 2.0.4) broke when upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.1. I get this error:
“You cannot use the application ‘Safari 2.0.4′ with this version of Mac OS X.”
Luckily, I’ve found a workaround. Just launch Safari from the command line (Terminal.app that is) and it should work for you:
/Applications/Safari\ 2.0.4.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari &
