The Blog that Noone Reads

If you’re watching the results on your Mac, here’s a quick tip:

In Safari, choose a graph or map you’d like to be able to keep an eye on. Choose File > Open in Dashboard… from the menu. Click on the content you want to watch and click Add from the purple bar at the top of the window. You’ll see your dashboard appear and a new widget will load up containing the content of your choice. You can now get back to work and periodically look at the content simply by opening your dashboard (F3 on the latest keyboards, F12 on older ones). You can open as many different items from as many sites as you want this way to create your own custom overview.

If you feel like something is not refreshing as often as you’d like. You can manually refresh it by clicking on it and then pressing Command+R on the keyboard.

The above graphic is the widget I clipped from nytimes.com.

A while back, I posted some screenshots of an iPhone app I was working on for logging time to Freshbooks. Things kinda fell silent for a while and the app never released. The reason for that was that the app was picked up by Freshbooks. We jazzed up the UI and added the offline submission support. I’m proud to announce that it’s available now from the iTunes store for FREE.

In order to make it simpler for others to use and modify this library, I’ve decided host this library on github. I’ll still be keeping an info page up here, but future work will be done on github. The reason I chose github is because git makes it easy to track forks of a codebase. If you use my library and want to make changes to it, you can simply fork from within the website. The fork will reference back to the original project and you can even submit changes to be incorporated into the original codebase (with my approval).

If you like this library, but find that it doesn’t quite do what you need, please feel free to fork and modify. I’ll be happy to incorporate any additions that others will find useful.
