k2ed

Finally a final on the horizon? K2 gets it own domain: getk2. Michael, Chris & Zeo working very hard to get K2 out of beta. And because so many people are interested and participating on the forum — which hopefully gets powered by a donation to use a license of vBulletin — an own domain was necessary.

flock(ed) again

after a little while — here we go again. the genetic manipulated

little brother of firefox gets older: version 0.5.11. of flock

and this time it seems it done its homework: in firefox 1.5.0.x i can’t use the page-down button on my keyboard — but in flock 0.5.11 it works. and besides that: it feels much more snappier than before. maybe flock IS an alternative to camino and firefox on my mac. we’ll see. 

how to get the file down

Update no. 2: I was asked if it’s possible to do the «on-the-fly» editing of the page-source without Safari, eg. if you’re on a non Mac OS X system. Yes, it’s easy like with safariStand. You need 2 things: Firefox and the Web Developer Extension. With this setup you only have to choose “Edit HTML” from the “Miscellaneous” menu from the Web Dev Toolbar and edit what you want to change (temporarly).

how to get the file downUpdate: I made a little how-to-step-by-step. Click in the image on the left to view a (readable) bigger size — but only if your browsers window viewport is at least 660px in height, if not: save the image to disk or open it in a new window. Sorry for that.

You just have to temporarly change in the source-code:

"[…] param name="KIOSKMODE" VALUE="true" […]"

to

"[…] param name="KIOSKMODE" VALUE="false" […]"

AND

< embed name=" […] kioskmode="true" […]"

to

< embed name=" […] kioskmode="false" […]"

After you changed this and aplied it you will have the small triangle on the bottom right. Click there and choose "Save source" or "Save movie". That's it.

You can do this for example with Safari + SafariStand installed.
Of course, you need QT Pro to save the clip to disk.

It hit me right in the head

Regulary I read my news via NetNewsWire (RSS-Reader). Yesterday I stumbled about a short header at BinaryBonsai: «90 degrees». Not much more, just link to a QT clip. I followed the link, loaded the first few seconds and then decided to get the file loaded to my disk.
This morning I watched the loaded clip and BOOM! Best animated short I ever watched. Pure drama, best supporting soundtrack. Just amazing. Maybe it’s time for you to check the clip. Around 70MB to load but worth every loaded byte. Go here to get loaded!

Simple desktop post-to-blog software for free. Well, posted before via 2 or three other Dashboard-Mini-Apps. Or: straight via back-end of wordpress. I don’t mind at all. 
 
Maybe this app is a solution for some “I-ain’t-no-geek-but-wanna-have-a-blog” people 😉
