| Care And Feeding Of Volunteers: Recruiting, Training, And Keeping An Excellent Volunteer Ministry Staff by Standard Publishing Company Somewhat disappointing | | I bought this book thinking it targeted ideas for all kinds of volunteers, but it really only targets Children's Ministry workers. It had a few good ideas, but none that I had not already thought of myself. If you are brand new to church volunteerism - you may want to purchase it - but for those who have been doing it awhile - it could be a waste of money. |
Port Map and TCMPortMapper
TheCodingMonkeys: “Some times you want to access your computers at home from anywhere in the world. Be it the web server on your home server, the file sharing on your desktop machine or a remote login to your parent’s computer to support them doing their work. This is where the application ‘Port Map’ might come handy.” (New software from the SubEthaEdit folks.)
Side note: check out the screenshot and note how iPhone-style On/Off widgets appear in the app. I’ve also seen this in VPN Tracker. I wonder if we’ll see it in more apps, and if it will become a standard part of the Mac user interface.

Big Transmit Review
Shawn Blanc: “And anyone that uses a Mac knows I mean more than, ‘Transmit is an FTP client for the Mac platform.’ Mac users have a high standard for their software. It has to do more than just work; Mac applications have to possess style, class and be enjoyable to use, and work like a charm.”

NetNewsWire 3.1b21: new Combined View, Leopard changes and fixes
 NetNewsWire 3.1b21 includes a new Combined View, Leopard changes and fixes, and a bunch of bug fixes.
The new Combined View is designed for better readability and skim-ability. It also breaks lots of news items up into pages, so that performance doesn’t suffer when trying to load hundreds or thousands of items at once.
Leopard changes include things like using the new folder icon in the subscriptions list and using the new dock badge standard.
See nnwbeta.com for the download and more in-depth change notes. (Yes, NetNewsWire betas now have their own domain name. ;)

On iPhone and no fixed positioning
furbo.org: “Both of these key interface elements, navigation and tools, are in fixed locations on the iPhone screen. If you’re trying to develop a ‘sweet’ web application for this device, you’ll quickly find that you can’t follow these standard conventions. That’s because there is no fixed positioning in Safari for the iPhone.”

MarsEdit For Your Custom Blog
Red Sweater: “So how do you get MarsEdit working with your custom server software? You adopt a standard API and implement it for your site, in the form of a ‘xmlrpc.php’ type file that accepts POST requests from MarsEdit and returns the appropriate responses. This isn’t as hard as it sounds, because there are really only a few calls involved.”

When 'Smart' Cut/Copy/Paste Attack
Daring Fireball: “If you’re young enough that your first computer was a Mac or a Windows PC, you probably can’t fathom just how big a deal Cut/Copy/Paste were when they were introduced as standard features of all applications.”

See comic subscriptions in NetNewsWire 2.0
MacOSXHints:: “Fortunately, ucomics.com provides a standard format for the location comic images for each date (see note below). So it was simple enough to write a python script which I then used as a special subscription in NNW.”
