Make sure you have the Snow Leopard version of FolderOrg and it will work just fine with Lion!

The older version is built off of PowerPC and requires Rosetta. The SL build is much faster anyway.

Both are available here:

I have not performed much testing yet, but initial indications are that FolderOrg works with Lion. More details to come...

I've been curious to see what this all-Apple setup would look like, but have not seen any real photos on the web. There is this photo from Engadget, but its with Dell monitors.

So I made this mock-up from Apple's press & store photos. The iMac is one inch higher than the stand-alone displays (20.4 inches vs 19.35 inches).

Here, the displays are set at the same height. Together, the three screens total just over 11 million pixels.

Coda has a bookmarks feature that allows for arbitrary text to show up in the Code Navigator pane. Bookmarks are a convenient way to organize and label sections of code.

Recently, I've been working with Objective-J and wanted to use the bookmarks feature. If you are familiar with XCode and Objective-C, you know that #pragma mark is super helpful.

Coda supports these bookmarks in many languages. See http://www.panic.com/coda/developer/quicktip/5.php.

However Objective-J is not listed and is truly not supported. I decided to fix that.

Bookmarks are supported in the JavaScript syntax, leveraging the two common comment conventions:
/* !bookmark */ or // !bookmark

Since Objective-J is an extension of JavaScript, it should support JavaScript's bookmark convention with no problem. I just needed to find where the bookmark pattern is defined for JavaScript.

I opened the Coda bundle and found the Javascipt.mode bundle. It is located here: /Applications/Coda.app/Contents/Resources/Modes/Javascript.mode. I opened the resources folder of the Javascript.mode bundle in TextMate so that I could browse and search the entire directory. I made sure Coda was not running during this change.

I performed a mult-file search for one of the documented bookmark patterns "//  !" and located the definitions in the RegexSymbols.xml file within Javascript.mode.

The code is as follows:

    <!-- STUDIO -->
    <symbol id="Pragma marks" font-weight="normal" font-style="normal" image="SymbolMark" indentation="0" ignoreblocks="no" show-in-comments="yes">
        <regex>/\*\s*!(.+) \*/</regex>
    </symbol>

        <symbol id="Pragma marks" font-weight="normal" font-style="normal" image="SymbolMark" indentation="0" ignoreblocks="no" show-in-comments="yes">
        <regex>// !([^\n\r]+)</regex>
    </symbol>
<!-- END -->

Now, all that is needed is to copy the two regexes to the corresponding RegexSymbols.xml file within Objective-J.mode, located here: /Applications/Coda.app/Contents/Resources/Modes/Objective-J.mode/Contents/Resources/RegexSymbols.xml.

When that is done, Coda will now recognize /* !bookmark */ and // !bookmark in the Code Navigator!

Cable Box slow to change channels. Browsing the guide excruciating? XBox not very responsive with the Harmony Remote?

Well, you can dramatically increase your equipment's response time with your Logitech Harmony Remote!

To do this, select the Devices tab in the Harmony Remote software. For each device that you would like to speed up, click settings.

Screen_shot_2011-03-30_at_9

Next, select Adjust the delays and click Next.

Screen_shot_2011-03-30_at_9
Set the Inter-key Delay to 0. Click Next and Done as needed to save the device setting.

Screen_shot_2011-03-30_at_9

Repeat as needed for each device.

When you have made all of your change, update your remote.

> We could even imagine, as we were told, that Apple would start a new line up of external displays using the Thunderbolt interface and featuring an integrated graphics card more powerful than the one found in the 13" MacBook Pro, which could make them very fast when used on a desk.

Basically anything you could plug into a PCI express slot, you can plug into this port.

However, after a few backups to my Airport-attached Drobo, I get this message.

Screen_shot_2011-02-17_at_5

The only way to resolve this message is to disable & re-enable disk sharing on the Airport.

Technically, Time Machine to an Airport Extreme is not supported... maybe this is why.

So, back to hosting the Drobo on the iMac.
