Another quick note… In order to test my web apps with Internet Explorer 6 (yeah, a lot of Wintel users still browse with it!), I always had to use my Windows 2000 virtual machine. I knew it was available via CrossOver, but didn’t want to buy it… It was available via Wine, but I didn’t have the time to figure out how it works.

Now I found ies4osx — which makes is so easy to install multiple Internet Explorer (Windows) versions in OS X via Darwine:

Must have for every web designer developing on OS X out there!
(… and man, I know, this is not brand new stuff — but I just found it and thought I should share with you!)

Just a quick note… A colleague showed me Evernote, a software/web application to easily capture, organize and sync notes, snapshots and website extracts to all my devices: my MacBook, Windows PC, my mobile and even my office computer via there ajax-web-interface. They have a demo video online.

Capturing is just a click in a browser button or menu bar icon. When you capture a website the URL is saved as well and you can even select parts of the website to save, including images.

Their search-function is amazing: They not only search through all the plain text via web or desktop software (even spotlight on mac!), but also do some kind of text recognition with the captured images, which you can find then (they even understand handwriting).

I hope that this will keep my desktop cleaner from all those links to websites and notes all over my hard disk and dashboard.

Ouh, almost forgot: It’s invitation only — I have a few left, just drop a note if you want one!
