The first official release of the WebCite widget is now available at http://geek.michaelgrace.org/webcite/ If you write papers, blogposts, do research, or any other kind of writting you will want to start utilizing WebCite’s archiving service. And what better way to use the service than with an easy to use Dashboard widget? Download the widget now and try it out and visit webcitation.com to learn more about the service. A special thanks goes to Andrew Hedges for letting me use some of his code to make the URL grabbing and pasteboard functionality work. A simple how to video is in the works to showcase all of the functionality of the widget. If you have any questions or suggestions for the widget please leave a comment or tweet me @MikeGrace.

I have completed the first draft of the WebCite widget. I would love feedback and suggestions on how to make it better.

Update: Please download the updated version on the Mac Widgets page.

Ever since I have started hating the mouse and loving the keyboard more I always tab through everything in my browser. One thing that I have found annoying that I have to use the mouse to click back up into the address bar to type in a new address. My fingers finally convinced me to do a google search for a keyboard shortcut to jump to the address bar in Safari. Surprise! There is a shortcut and it is **drumroll** …….. cmd + L

And my fingers and the keyboard lived happily ever after. : )

The Problem

Executing binary file in terminal fails returning “Can’t execute binary file”.

Fix

In terminal enter “chmod +x [filename]“

Why

chmod +x adds the permission for the user to execute the binary file.
