Focus on the Positive: The You Can't Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought Workbook by Mary Book / Prelude Pr

I Hate this Book...I have to keep buying new copies all the time!

My patients and clients LOVE THIS BOOK. As you can see, I hate, it, because, it is SO GOOD, i wind up giving them to my clients and then I have to buy yet another. This is just EXCELLENT, and really helps people improve their lives. 'nuff said.

NetNewsWire + iPhoto
Miraz Jordan writes about how, in NetNewsWire, “it’s easy to add photos from RSS feeds to iPhoto: Control click on the photo and choose Add Image to iPhoto Library from the contextual menu.”

One of my favorite parts of working on NetNewsWire is the connection to other apps: weblog editors such as MarsEdit and ecto, Apple apps like iPhoto, Address Book, and iCal, and apps like VoodooPad and Twitterrific, from my fellow Mac developers.

So I Wrote This Book
Mike Lee: “I actually had a blast writing the iChat chapter, which was not one of my original chapters, and which I’m not even sure I got paid for. Not to put too fine a point on it, it’s a classic of western literature. It’s got a narrative, character-driven plot, which is to say, it’s full of lemurs.”

Congratulations to Mike on the publication of Mac OS X Leopard: Beyond the Manual!

Primordial AppleScript & PlugIns With Coda
Steven Frank: “When nobody was looking, I added some extremely basic AppleScript and plugin support to Coda 1.0.4.”

I haven’t had the chance to use Coda for a real project yet—but I’m planning to use it to update NetNewsWire’s Help book for the next release.

New Apple-related books
CARS: “While other book series by other ‘authors’ attempt to ‘inform’ you about ‘features’ and ‘ways’ you can use software or hardware ‘products,’ the Take Control of the Missing Manual for Dummies books will encourage you to let your id run amok through a vast technological landscape formed by people who actually do something for a living instead of living in their parents’ basement like you do.”

Managing Humans - An Introduction
Managing Humans is a new book by Michael Lopp of Rands in Repose fame. “This book isn’t just about management, it’s about creating places where people can comfortably build stuff. It’s about what to do during the first ninety days of your new gig, and explains why you should pick a fight, because bright people often yell at each other.”

NetNewsWire Style: ReadLight
cleverdevil: “For a while now I have been itching to create a custom stylesheet for NetNewsWire, and I finally found the time to do it. So, I am proud to introduce ReadLight—a NetNewsWire style that attempts to feel like reading from a gorgeous hardcover book.”

Replacing AppleScript with Ruby
Matt Neuburg, MacDevCenter.com: “I’ll explain how to download and install rb-appscript. I’ll discuss the basics of rb-appscript usage and show how to develop a simple ‘hello world’ script. Finally, I’ll rewrite the Ruby-AppleScript example from my book to use Ruby with rb-appscript instead.”

Huevos now Universal
Huevos Icon Huevos 1.1.1 released!

It’s now a universal binary—and it’s one of those apps that really only took clicking a checkbox to make it universal. Piece of cake.

Huevos was my first Cocoa app. I was learning Cocoa by reading the first edition of Aaron Hillegass’s excellent Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X. I couldn’t wait—I started writing Huevos before I even finished the book! (This was way back in early 2002.)

Which is also a way of saying that the code in Huevos looks like beginner’s code. But that’s okay—because it also works. I’ve hardly ever had bug reports for Huevos. (I mention the code because it’s open source and you can actually download the code.)

For this release I didn’t touch the code, just rebuilt it as a universal binary.

(In case you’ve never seen Huevos: it’s a search-engine launcher that’s designed to be entirely keyboard-driven. You may be familiar with waffle software’s very cool Nuevos, which is based on Huevos.)

NetNewsWire Style: Typographer
Oliver Taylor: “Typographer is a clean, minimalist theme that focuses on beautiful, readable text. The header font is ‘Hoefler Text,’ a wonderful typeface, and uses Baskerville as a body text. Instead of mimicking the look of a book, I decided to attempt to mimic the feel of an old book.”

Delete the SearchIndex file
If you’re using NetNewsWire 2.0b37, and you used earlier betas, then you can delete the SearchIndex file.

It’s probably taking up a few megabytes of space on your hard drive. (Possibly quite a few megabytes.)

Here’s what to do:

1. Make a backup of your NetNewsWire prefs and data. (It’s always a good idea to make backups.) For more about making backups, open the Help book, click on “Contents,” then click on “Backing up your data.”

2. Delete the file at ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/SearchIndex

This file is no longer used (as of 2.0b37) so it’s safe to delete.

Tip: Use the Help Book
NetNewsWire comes with an extensive Help book. Choose Help > NetNewsWire Help to open it.

The Help book is also searchable. Type a question (or a keyword or two) into the search field at the top of the window and hit return.

If you need to find something, the Help book is the first place to look.

Interview with Aaron Hillegass of Big Nerd Ranch
OSNews.com interviews Aaron Hillegass: “The ranch is not as rustic as it sounds. The rooms are large with jacuzzi tubs and balconies. Yes, there are some horses, but we also have a swimming pool and miniature golf.”

The first edition of Aaron’s book Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X was our introduction to Cocoa.
