How to…do… a TODO, FIXME and CHANGED in TextMate comment for other developers in your office, network, whatever… So you’ve got an html, php, erb, python, ruby etc file. Just add the appropriate comment for your language followed by TODO, FIXME or CHANGED like this:

The within your project you can either hit; (Mac) shift+ctrl+t or go to; Bundles -> TODO -> Show TODO List

Which will bring up a window with all the TODO, FIXME or CHANGED items within your project. This makes it easy to find areas than need work or tell the other developers in your team wtf is up.

Digital Color Meter is a cool application located in Applications/Utilities/DigitalColor Meter.app. You can color pick anything on your screen and grab the color value in different formats to use in your projects.

Update: You can also use shift + command + c to copy the color as a hex value and paste it into your favorite editor.

Ever forget someones email address that you have previously emailed? Want to know the address? In Apples Mail.app you can goto =>Window =>Previous Recipients … and a list of all the email addresses that you’ve sent emails to should appear in a window.

I just used iDVD for the first time in a long time on my new MacBook Pro (I’m a Final Cut, DVD Studio Pro guy). I was authoring a fairly large video (about 90min), with audio, motion menus, and audio menus. Everything went fine until It started to author the audio from the video. As soon as it started it hung up and I got the death ball. Well it’s apparently just a bug so I left it for a while and it finally went through. Apparently a ton of others have been having the same problem. Hope this helps someone out.

I just made a switch to TextMate for my editor of choice and found a sweet shortcut png file for my desktop. When ever I need it I just use expose on my MacBook Pro and walla! Easy shortcut help. Makes life so easy breezy.
