Diary Manual
I know there have been some out there impatiently waiting for me to finish it. So here you are. The manual for the all new major update of Diary – The most simple and elegant way to keep a journal…
The Daily Ollerum
Update for Browser available
Yes – another update for Browser. But there really is so much to do and to think about. Browser now has a built-in phishing and malware protection, as well as an improved ‘memory’ and ‘bad’ script protection.
The URL bar can now be abused as Google search as well and web images can now also be downsized on the fly to better re-use them directly (e.g. for blogging) and of course I’ve worked on the performance as well …

Things I like :-)
And Day One is heavily pushed by Apple on the front-page, so I guess Diary will not make it to the top. But second place in less than a week without any ads or help from Apple is pretty awesome…
It’s a Browser. And it’s done.
It’s a Browser. And it’s done. I’ve just published the final version. Or the first. The first final version of Browser. Browser 1.0.
So go ahead and grab your copy and let me know what you think…
Daily Snippet
I needed a way to terminate an application from within another without using Apple Script or old Carbon stuff. I finally found this nifty solution: if ([[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] respondsToSelector:@selector(runningApplications)]) {
for (NSRunningApplication *app in [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] runningApplications])
if ([@"Suggestions" isEqualToString:[app localizedName]])
[app terminate];
}
Prevent tab from closing
Read It Later, baby!
The upcoming final version of Browser will have Read It Later support directly built in. New Repository items can be automatically synced with the Read It Later list and that list can be also automatically synced with the Browser repository…

Processing for App Store
Unbelievable. It took Apple less than two days to review and approve the major update of Diary. I am shocked. In a very positive way. I even haven’t finished the all new website and its manual yet.
So – Diary 2.0 will be available on the Mac App Store within the next couples of hours and I really hope you will like it as much as I do…
Last Beta Update for Browser
Writing your own browser is exhausting – but fun. And there is so much new to learn. And so much to think about and of course so much to do wrong. But I think and hope that I am doing quite ok so far. Performance is good. No crashes the last weeks, no major problems with websites and this latest update should fix all download related bugs with sites like GitHub, photocase and Co.
The gestures should now work for all of you (if otherwise – please drop a note) and the Safari bookmarks (Bookmarks Bar) can now be included in the suggestions as well. This is of source resource hungry and thus an optional feature.
I’ve also polished the bookmarks view and added an own sheet for editing them.
And most important of all – I’ve worked on the performance. You should be able to ‘feel’ it…
