…NewsFire is now free?

by Cory O'Brien

NewsFire

After NetNewsWire decided to stop selling its program and to instead just give it away, NewsFire must have gotten jealous, because they’ve just announced that their program will be free as well.

Since NewsFire has no online component, and thus, cannot use your data in any way (NNW went free in exchange for your attention data) I’m not exactly sure how NF plans to make money, but where there’s a will, there’s a way, right?

Either way, there are now two fantastic players in the free desktop RSS reader game, and that’s fantastic!

…Shawn Blanc loves Transmit and Coda?

by Cory O'Brien

Transmit and Coda

Shawn Blanc’s series of reviews for “some of the greatest software available for the Mac” continues, and in addition to NetNewsWire and Mint, he’s also published equally thorough reviews of Transmit and Coda.

Though Transmit is something that I use constantly to keep this site up to date, Coda is new to me, so I was definitely interested in reading Shawn’s thoughts on the two.

If you’re at all interested in the best of the best for the Mac world, then these are must reads, so get to it!

…Some apps are essential to Mac blogging?

by Cory O'Brien

Essential Mac Apps

As a Mac based blogger, there are some apps that are almost essential to a smooth workflow.

Thus, Darren Rowse’s list of the 14 Essential Mac OSX Applications for Bloggers is a great start if you’re on your way to online fame, and though I’d also add NetNewsWire (especially now that it’s free), I think it’s hard to disagree with what he’s put together.

Care to add any others?

…You can fix unresponsive scripts?

by Cory O'Brien

Firefox Unresponsive Script

Whenever I use my RSS reader (NetNewsWire) to read Digg and then open tabs for the interesting sounding stories in the background in Firefox, I’m always greeted with an “Unresponsive Script” warning.

Fortunately, the error is just a timing issue, and if you’ve been receiving the same error, then the fix is an easy one:

  1. Type about:config into Firefox’s address bar.
  2. Filter down to the value for dom.max_script_run_time.
  3. Change the value to something higher than the default.

Yes, it’s that easy; and you’ll soon have uninterrupted browsing of your favorite social bookmarking site.

On a daily basis, NetNewsWire is the program that I use to keep this blog running as I sort through a thousand plus stories per day via RSS.
Thankfully, it never disappoints, and NewsGator has done an excellent job of making everything work the way it should.
Shawn Blanc agrees, and has posted a great run through [...]
