OmniOutliner: Spacebar for mouseless dropdown selection

Speaking of R'ing TFM, OmniGroup's crackerjack techs responded almost immediately to my recent "feature request" that I be able to select items from OmniOutliner dropdown menus without using the mouse.

Already there. Just hit spacebar and start typing the first few letters of the item you want, and there you go. Personally I've set my TAB action to "Go to next cell" (rather than the default "Indent") so my OO efficiency just ticked up several notches with this one.


In other news, the new unofficial motto of 43 Folders is going to be “The only truly obvious things are those things that you already know. (And, regrettably, not everyone is you yet.)”

How to redirect synonym pages to preferred term in Drupal?

Following up on my earlier comment: I've added a number of popular synonyms for the most used taxonomy terms on 43 Folders. For example "OS X" and "Leopard" are synonyms for my preferred "Mac OS X" term.

Is there a Drupal module or the like that can redirect taxonomy pages for synonyms to the page of the preferred term? E.G., I'd love for visits to "/topics/os-x" to do a 301 redirect to the preferred "/topics/mac-os-x" page.

To-Do, Is tech even needed?

So I was on LifeHacker and saw a recent post mentioning a sticky note program called "Hott Notes" (http://lifehacker.com/358564/make-and-take-your-sticky-notes-with-hott-notes) which seems like a very productive little app. Its your basic sticky note program with lots of little graphical and optional details you can tweak and change. Until now, I've been using the tried and true "ToDo.txt" method and that's working just fine. But for now I'll be giving this a whirl.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
