Marco.org: Charging an iPhone with AA batteries

I got a Tekkeon TekCharge MP1550 AA-battery-to-USB1 charger for a backpacking trip. (Know what’s really useful pretty much anywhere? An iPhone.)

AA batteries are much more versatile than common lithium-ion battery-extender packs. You can buy AA batteries nearly anywhere that sells

Isolator

I love this applications. Blacks out all visible windows except the one’s from the currently active application.

Black out all background windows via the keyboard shortcut entirely (I use cmd + ctrl + alt + I) or set the transparence to whatever you like.

The app is free.

BetterSource

Finally! Firefox’s had it for years, Google Chrome’s had it since its launch — even IE’s got colored syntax highlighting! Yet, Safari — being one of the most cutting-edge browsers out there otherwise — misses this easy yet important feature.

And here’s the beauty of this problem — Safari 5 supports extensions. Now, people can fill in the blanks and give Safari hundreds of new features. These user-contributed extensions has been Firefox’s biggest advantage over the years.

Everything is different now. In my opinion, the implementations found in Chrome and Firefox are inferior compared to Safari’s elegant way of handling both installation and management of extensions.

What’s BetterSource? It’s an extension that will show the (original) source code in colored syntax highlighting. The code will open in a new tab (instead of an own window like Safari normally does).

It will also display line numbers. Lastly, it’s possible to show the generated source1 — that is, the final end-product made by a combination of the rendering the browser itself is responsible for, as well as the original HTML sent from the server. And most importantly — DOM manipulations and other changes in the code made by JavaScript.


  1. Generated source is what you see when you right (or control) click the current web page and choose “Inspect Element”. (Assuming you’ve activated the Developer menu — if not, you’ll find the option in Safari > Settings > Advanced).

Tomt och meningslöst

I kontrasten mot sällskapet och händelserna då, känner jag mig nu bara ensam och tom.

Om något är förstört känns allt annat helt jävla värdelöst. Ingen mening med nåt.

Gjorde jag nåt fel? Jag kan verkligen inte komma på vad. Har jag glömt nåt? Jag trodde att allting var bra. Jag tycker i alla fall det. Kanske hade jag helt fel.

Men det vill inte släppa. Jag har en konstig känsla av att någonting inte står rätt till.

Vill bara att allt ska vara lika bra som det brukar. Samtidigt vet jag inte om något har förändrats — det är det som är det värsta.

Vänner växer inte på träd. Och vissa former av vänskap kan inte återskapas. Vill inte återskapa. Jag vill fortsätta som förr. Hade blivit så jävla glad om jag visste att du tyckte samma sak.

We Love Icons

A good collection of icons from different designers around the world.

I’m a bit fascinated by the collection — the good taste and the selection, the beautiful website — and the fact I clicked myself through roughly 15×25 sets of icons without even thinking about it.

When it comes to graphical design, there are obviously a lot of people with lots of talent out there. Good thing all of them are equipped with Macs.
