If you make a text clipping in Leopard, you’ll be surprised to discover that QuickLook can’t generate a preview for it.
Text clipping without plugin
A surprising omission by Apple, given that Leopard still generates these when you drag text to the desktop. But Google found HetimaClipping.qlgenerator, which fills the void:
With Hetima
A few things I’ve noticed:
Safari 3: Beautiful new Find command. SVG support. Send to Dashboard capability. Drag and drop tabs, including to new windows. Better standards support.
Firefox 3: Better appearance which (unfortunately) highlights that Firefox doesn’t act like a Mac application. Looks like you can move the window from title bar, tool bar or status bar, but only title bar actually works. But where does the title bar end? Nice new security screen, which was implemented in a way that breaks one click URL selection. Improved standards support. Drag and drop tabs can’t be dragged to new window. But non-modal password prompt almost makes up for all its flaws.
A QuickLook plugin for C++ and other languages.
I don’t usually like to report anything John Gruber posts, because everyone will have already seen it. But I’ll make an exception: Michael Tsai is right: What Apple delivers in the iPhone is less offensive than the spin as it’s been delivered. (via Daring Fireball.)
I’m not so upset at the iPhone’s lack of openness as I am concerned it could be the start of something on Mac OS X. And the only reason for that is that in spinning all these restrictions as good things on the iPhone, Apple has made me start to worry that they might consider them good on Mac OS X 10.6, too.
It seems China has banned bad fashion? So now I’m wondering what Team Canada will wear. Because I’m sure these uniforms are included in this ban.
I’m not really into fashion, but I know what I like. And I know what I don’t like. And I know what I wouldn’t wear to sleep. And these outfits fall into the last category.
For the athletes sake, of course, I hope they win medals. But a part of my cringes at the idea of these on a podium where the people of the world can, like, see them.
Mac OS X wins!
Yes, those are all Crash Reporter screens. No, I’m not going to report them all. Mac OS X wins this battle of wills.
The power of a lazy tweet is a lot like IRC: If someone knows the answer and has a moment, you get an answer. Of course, my real problem was my assumption that Mac OS X couldn’t do it out of the box. I’ve been doing this by hand, and it sucked. Thanks, @mdhughes!
Lacie Quadra d2
It’s way too early to tell if LaCie is still the “all that and a bag of chips” hard drive company, but I can tell you this right away: The case is the best external case I’ve ever personally bought, and probably better than the stackable system Discovery bought from LaCie over a decade ago. It’s extremely solid, aluminum and rippled like a heatsink.
I think the case itself is fanless, but of course it does have vents and the hard drive inside does whir. So it isn’t silent, but is very quiet.
A matching mini rack is available, though I didn’t purchase one yet. I plan to buy a 750GB or 1TB drive in another couple months to back up to, and will probably pick up the rack then as well. In the meantime, I’m back to doing manual backups of my photos and music.
Running from this hard drive for even an hour has convinced me that my Mac mini’s hard drive is indeed failing. I’d be a lot more annoyed at that if I didn’t have the Quadra to run from while waiting for the replacement hard drive. 
If I ever get around to trying to define freetard, it’s definitely going to include a bit about denying reality and redefining the English language. John C. Welch received a reply from the FSF, including them denying their strategy as an attack. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, it’s pretty obviously exactly that. Definitely read this if you consider the FSF anything other than a cult of freetards.
