Sogudi is an add-on for Safari that allows you to use the quicksearch Firefox feature in Safari.

Several years ago, when I first powered my compaq notebook with openSUSE linux, I wrote a script to convert all my sogudi shortcuts to firefox searchqueries.

It’s written in python. The python interpreter is shipped with Mac OS X by default.
To use this script, download it and type in the Terminal:

     $ python sogudy2qs.py >quicksearches.html

sogudi2qs will convert every shortcuts in a single file that you can import in Firefox Bookmarks.

I've released a minor update to FontParade. I've simply fixed a bug, thanks to error reporting from Bruce.

Several users contacted me about some errors they got, but only few of them could tell me when or how the error occurred and could send me the console logs. I know that, for general users, it can be difficult, but they should know that it's impossible to debug an error when the only thing they say is: Hi, I get an error every time I try to print the list of my fonts. What could be?

If you are among them, please try this new version and if you get any error, feel free to contact me and try to send a detailed report.

A new FontParade’s release is online. New features are:

• Customizable font selection.
• Filtering by collections (only Mac OS X 10.3 or higher).
• Customizable title.
• Customizable layout.

Now it should also work on Mac OS X 10.2, but I haven’t tested.

Download from here.

Just released a tiny Mac OS X application that prints a pretty font list of all fonts in the System.

Here is the project's page.

Although SlashDock has been my favorite newsfeed reader so far, I think it is not very usable with a large number of feeds.

Switching to a different reader, I realized that SlashDock doesn’t allow to export the feeds, so I wrote a script for doing the job. The result is here.
