So you’ve seen a screenshot or a video tutorial, and noticed that the author somehow managed to places spaces in between the icons in his dock. How is that possible? There might be a more automated system, but I found that, simply by pasting in a snippet into Terminal, we can create spaces with ease. I’ll show you how.
I’ve always been a GMail fanboy – excluding one feature: push support for the iPhone. I can’t explain why, but it really irks me when Allie is notified instantly when she receives a new Yahoo email – probably from Old Navy – while I must wait 15 minutes for the iPhone to further drain my battery and fetch new emails. I should note that typically, I don’t last that long before manually refreshing, but that’s neither here nor there! Here’s how to do it:
Like most services that sweep the world, Twitter has quickly been tainted by businesses hoping to take advantage of this crazy new “viral marketing” that the suits hear so much about. What’s unfortunate is that the majority of them seem to have missed the primary advantage: connecting with the consumer on a more personal level. Twitter is much more than a substitute for RSS feeds.

With that said, this new design is obviously very minimal – just how I like it! I’m not an “artist” at heart, and only want to get my information across as quickly as possible. As such, when designing this new WordPress theme, I set a goal of using zero images. While I came really close, I did end up using a couple for the layout. Nevertheless, this site should be super-fast – especially once I compress and cache everything.
Managing ThemeForest and Nettuts+, I’ve learned something. More than not, people are generally unreliable. I’ve hired extremely talented web developers who I will never work with again. If you can’t get the job done by my deadline, or you don’t even attempt to, it doesn’t matter how talented you are – I won’t work with you.
