ColorClock screensaver

Time and color, combined into a screensaver!

This Mac OSX screensaver displays the current time and its RGB-color equivalent. In 24 hours the red-value goes from 0 to 255, the green and blue values do so in 60 minutes/seconds. So at midnight you'll have black and at 23:59:59 you'll have white. And in between you'll find every other color in the RGB-spectrum.

Disclaimer

This is not my original idea. I saw a flash version of this concept a few years ago and rebuild it with javascript. The Mac OSX screensaver wrapper is from this project. See the readme.md for licensing.

The screensaver is available with either Helvetica Neue or a monospace font (Menlo).

Download:

If you don't have a Mac or just don't want to use a screensaver, you can visit the web version here (monospace) and here (Helvetica).

How to build your own Memomail

If you are fortunate enough, you might already have your twitter archive. And if you set up Tweet Nest on your server, you might enjoy this little php snippet. This is basically a more usable version of Memolane's Memomail. This. It fetches the tweets from 1, 2 and 3 years ago from your Tweet Nest via curl, removes everything but the header and the tweets and sends you an HTML mail. You can set this up with a cronjob for automatic mails. This snippet is roughly commented and not documented. I just wanted to share this for you to build upon. Kudos to: http://premailer.dialect.ca/api https://gist.github.com/1591053 http://pongsocket.com/tweetnest/

Change the default language of an application with Alfred

I just finished my work on a new extension for the Alfred Powerpack. This extension detects all available localizations for a specific application and let's you choose one of them.

Then it changes the language of the application and restarts it. It's easy to use and could come in handy if you want to see another localizations of an application or if you don't like the localizations in your language without changing your system's default language. Just download this extension, install it and it's ready to use.

This extension is written in AppleScript and Unix. If you experience any troubles with this, hit me on twitter. Enjoy. EDIT: If you don't have the Alfred Powerpack or you don't want to use Alfred for this task, here is the source code of the extension. http://snipt.net/Kudusch/change-language-for-specific-application-on-mac-osx

Convert ASCII-text to binary and vice versa via Alfred

Update: I wrote a new and better version of this extension. You can find it here. Here's another fun thing to do with the Alfred Powerpack. With this extension you are able to convert regular text to binary code. Or decode binary ASCII to human-readable text. Just type "bin con " into Alfred followed by either " en" and the text you want to encode or " de" and the text you want to decode. This extension will do the conversion for you and copies the result to your clipboard.

BinToASCII

This extension is written in AppleScript and does not require an internet connection to work; the conversion is done inside the script and does not rely on an extern service. It also uses growl to notify you, when the script is done. Enjoy. UPDATE: The extension uses Growl v1.3. If you use a earlier version of growl, change "tell application "Growl"" to "tell application "GrowlHelperApp""

Share current song on Twitter via Alfred

This extension is no longer supported. I recommend this extension by David Ferguson.

With this extension you'll be able to share the song you are currently listening to on Twitter via Alfred. What you'll need: The Alfred Powerpack to install the extension. console_tweet, a pretty useful ruby gem. To install console_tweet:

Open Terminal and type: $ gem install console_tweet (You need Xcode or GCC to execute the gem install command.) After installing type: $ twitter setup …and follow the instructions.

After the gem is ready, download the extension. The extension is written in AppleScript and is localized in Englisch and German. It uses growl to notify you about the tweet. If you experience any issues with the extension, contact me via twitter. Enjoy.
