Word Clock Screensaver

0

If you are a Mac user, check out this really nice typographic screensaver from London-based graphic designer and programmer Simon Heys.

There’s no ‘Reset to defaults’ option, and I think I went kind of crazy with the typefaces because it eventually gave me an error and refused to load. So if you want to reset it, find the com.simonheys.wordclock.plist preference file in Library › Preferences › ByHost and trash it. Then relaunch System Preferences and get customizing. Or leave it as is—I do like the default configuration.

Quick OS X Mail.app tip

0

I discovered something really cool today, while using Mail, on my Mac at work.

You know when you go to reply, the entire email you are replying to—and sometimes a few more emails that came with it—immediately gets quoted in the new message? A lot of times, this is not desirable.

Well, it turns out, if you wanted to quote only part of that previous message in your reply, you can just highlight only what you want quoted, and only that specific part will appear in your reply. Neat, huh? I don’t know if this feature is available in other email clients. Perhaps someone reading this will know.
