Using the Mac OS X Toolbox

With the help of Mac OS X The Missing Manual, ive been exploring my iMac. I found a few cool utilities that i want to share with you.

DigitalColor Meter
Instead of having to download colorzilla, you got the perfect little utility already on your iMac. DigitalColor Meter captures the exact colour value on your screen. It can even display the colour value in Hex form, perfect for matching colours in web design.

Whois
Within network utility, whois gathers information about the owner of any domain.

Disk Utility
Can create electronics versions of disks or folders that can be exchange electronically with other people.

Transform Web Applications into Desktop Ones!

Web applications like Facebook or Twitter used to be primarily browser-based, but more and more products such as Tweetdeck are bringing that functionality off-browser. Firefox though, now can do a lot more.

Prism is a cool new Firefox add-on, where you can convert websites into a application. It makes sites like gmail & flickr more accessible from your dock, making social media even easier to do. So very cool!

Debugging using Firefox on a mac

Its just a big pain in the bum, when you prefer to debug using Firefox in dreamweaver but all you get is a “Page Load Error” message. After doing some research on the web, the reason why it does this is because of the way Dreamweaver creates the url on a mac. The solution is to change the url, however its only easily fixed if you remember this, otherwise just copy the url from safari in to firefox
