Software
While I was editing my new web site template, I used a
tool for the Mac from Cultured Code called
Xyle Scope.
It's a pretty nifty little (and fairly inexpensive)
tool for looking at CSS code rendered in web pages.
You'll easily find that you can find out how objects on
your page map to your CSS styles. This little app can
be a major time saver if you're doing a lot of web
development. I've been using it under the 10 day eval
period, and I think it's good enough to buy.
If you recall, Cultured Code is the company behind
Things, which
I raved about last month.

Software
I'm one of those process geeks who is a wee bit
particular in terms of how I like to organize my to-do
items. I've never liked the Tasks features in Outlook
or any other app, for that matter
Enter
Things for
the Mac. It is currently available as a free preview
(full release should be in Spring '08), and it is one
beautiful piece of software. It is simple, elegant and
highly functional. I'm not quite sure that I could
write up a description that does the product justice -
all I can do is suggest that you download the preview
and watch the
screencast
available on Cultured Code's web site. If you sign up
for the newsletter before the release, you can get a
small discount on the software.
While I think highly of the preview version, I'd like
to see additional support for Windows, Windows Mobile
and iPhone. There are a lot of us who work in Windows
during the day but use Mac at home, and to be able to
sync between the platforms would be an incredibly
valuable feature.
