Link list – May 16, 2013
- FileBot - The ultimate TV and Movie Renamer / Subtitle Downloader
- I recently purchased a NAS and now I’m in the process of converting the rest of my DVD’s1 to enjoy my new media center. This tool is the s**t. I wonder why I haven’t come across it before. By the way, it’s available for nearly every platform plus you can also use it from the command-line. If it’s not your cup of tea, this might be.
- AppleScript improvements in Rdio Mac v2.19
- Chapeau for the Rdio guys. I tip my hat to every developer who is still willing to integrate AppleScript support into a modern app. I’m currently back on Rdio myself (and I miss Spotify’s folders… but the recent builds made the application so slow that I switched again).
- Ivy - Import your playlists into Spotify
- And when I switch again, this is the application that will keep me busy for a few days on Spotify. Ivy converts iTunes playlists into Spotify playlists. I always missed that feature.
- Who loves music and 27-inch monitors?
- Brett Terpstra.2
- ofexport - export to text, taskpaper, html, opml
- Another really cool command line tool that emerged on the Omni Group Forums. It uses the OmniFocus database to write text files. I love it. You can follow this blog to keep yourself up to date when new builds arrive. Thanks Poor Signal.
- Melon: A Headband and Mobile App to Measure Your Focus by Melon
- I read about it some time ago. Now the finished product is on Kickstarter and it still looks like a nifty gadget.
- What happens when pirates play a game development simulator and then go bankrupt because of piracy?
- Best idea ever. There’s nothing not to like about this ingenious idea.
- Advanced Gmail Search with Regular Expressions
- I knew one could use google docs for scripting Gmail, but regular expressions never occurred to me. A smart hack.
- Safari extensions for tab addicts
- Two Safari extensions for tab addicts brought to you by the talented guys from Many Tricks. Speed our browsing.
- Heads Up!
- “Heads Up! is a new game for iPhone we’ve designed and developed for the Ellen Degeneres Show.” There’s only one bad thing to say about this app: it isn’t available in the German iTunes App Store (and I dislike switching accounts just for updating an app – I might have to make an exception here).
- The iOS 7 Power User Challenge
- Excellent read via MacStories
- Make JPEG droplet
- For everybody who doesn’t want to get their hands dirty this droplet by Minimal Folio developer Simon Heys is a nice addition to the app fleet.
- Pixer
- While we’re at image manipulation and not using automator or scripts… this one resizes and converts images in batch.
- IFTTT / Philips hue Channel
- Everybody who has read the article about my Sweet Mac Setup on Shawn Blanc’s site knows that I’m a big fan of the stuff that Philips does with their mood lights. IFTTT basically sealed and I have to start saving some money now to get my hands on the hue lights.
