Copy File Path as Text in Mac OS X

Posted on 2014-06-042015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

Posting this here because I keep needing to recreate it whenever I start using a new machine: Open Automator. Select the Service template. Set options at the top to “Service receives selected files or folders in Finder.” Drag over “Copy to Clipboard.” Save the service with a name like “Copy Path.” That’s it! Now you…

Django MultiRangeField and MultiRangeFormField

Posted on 2014-06-012015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

I’m building a website, and needed a way to save a list of pages and page ranges from a book or magazine. I wanted to to be a little more strict than just saving it as a string without any cleanup or validation, so I wrote a custom Django model field (and accompanying form field)….

3D Printer Re-calibration

Posted on 2014-02-222015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

It’s been six months since we moved to Seattle, so I thought it was finally time to get my 3D printer out of mothballs. Well, at least that giant box full of Styrofoam peanuts. I hadn’t left it in a great state the last time I used it. ABS plastic had gotten stuck in the…

FeedPress Subscribers for Panic Status Board

Posted on 2014-01-192022-03-22 by Mark Boszko

Since the launch of my new podcast, I’ve been trying to keep track of stats on podcast downloads and subscribers. FeedPress has been my feed tracker of choice recently, and seems to work very smoothly (even if they only update stats once a day). I’m also a big fan of Panic’s Status Board iPad app…

Get BBEdit HTML preview to print background colors

Posted on 2014-01-082015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

I realize this is probably something that only I want, but just in case, here it is for Google (and for future me, who has forgotten how to do it). Run this in the Terminal: defaults write com.barebones.bbedit WebKitShouldPrintBackgroundsPreferenceKey -bool YES Thanks to my pal Jim Correia for figuring that out! He asked me to…

Chemex

Posted on 2013-12-262013-12-26 by Mark Boszko

Usually, I’m the only one in my house who likes to have coffee every morning. My wife says she enjoys coffee, but she actually prefers weak “coffee-flavored tea” (as she calls it) with copious amounts of cream and sugar, and more often than not, prefers instant coffee or Roma to real, brewed coffee. I prefered…
