  • Paparazzi! is a small utility for Mac OS X that makes screenshots of webpages.
  • As the name implies, MinimalCart is very lightweight shopping cart plugin for Rails that leverages ActiveMerchant as a payment gateway. Why minimal? Implementing an entire off the shelf shopping cart system would inevitably restrict the use and configuration of your application, and / or force you to switch to such an application undermining the ability for you to simply 'add a cart system' to your existing application. With this in mind, MinimalCart assumes at least a basic understanding of building rails applications and is designed with the active developer in mind.
  • Welcome to Social Wallpapering, a community effort to classify, rank, and distribute high resolution images for use as desktop wallpaper.
  • It works on any Mac with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or later. Just download the file, pull up a terminal window, and type something like: python /Users/karen/screenshots/webkit2png http://www.drupal.org … and you end up with three screenshots of the site, a full size shot, a thumbnail, and a shot clipped to just show what you can normally see in a window. The results for Drupal are posted below (who knew the front page was that long!!)
