For different reasons I have many different Google accounts and wanted to merge them all into one Google Apps for Domain account. I also wanted to upload email from the past years to that account. I’ve tried before to move a lot of messages between Google/Gmail accounts by just dragging the messages from one IMAP [...]

A better Mail-to-Things-ToDo script
Until now I’ve been creating todos in Things from Mail messages in OS X using the quick entry built into Things and the “autofill” feature. But I didn’t like that it, by default, created the todos in Things’ Inbox and that I had to manually select text in the mail message to get it as [...]

Open Selected Folder or File in TextMate from Finder
Before upgrading to Snow Leopard I had a QuickSilver trigger (⌃⌥⌘M) to open the currently selected file(s) or folder(s) in TextMate. It was setup as a QuickSilver trigger using the Proxy Object “Finder Selection”. Too bad it doesn’t work for me in the later QuickSilver versions and/or Snow Leopard. I missed this trigger so I [...]

Screencapture in Mac OS X from a SSH session or launchd jobs
If you’d ever need to use the screencapture command from a scheduled job (like launchd in OS X) or from a SSH session, you might find out that it doesn’t allow you to do that since you’re not the logged in user. To work around that, run the scheduled jobs as root and exec screencapture [...]

I really like the MissingDrawer plugin for TextMate but it stopped working for me after upgrading to Snow Leopard. I recompiled it for 10.6 and now it works again. Get the updated versions here (one with blue background and one with the white default). Update: Seems like the plugin doesn’t work very good after all. [...]

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 [...]

Clean up your Spotlight search results
By default, Spotlight will index all your mail Mail.app messages and attachments, even those in your Trash and Spam folders. To exclude these folders from the Spotlight results you can add the folders to the “Privacy” section of the “Spotlight” pane in “System Preferences”. I’m using IMAP on Gmail so your path may be a [...]
