OSX Finder Tip: Set Default Column Width

Posted 11:34 am, comments (0)

In my quest to find a “default” solution to “right size all columns individually” I stumbled upon this tip nugget..

“option+drag the finder column | line, and it will change/reset the default width for all columns”

Up until this point, and if needed still, I’ve been using the old-school finder method — right click the finder column | line, “right size all columns individually”.

I suppose that will have to hold us over until someone at Apple hears our tears of pain.

Every dev’signer needs a boilerplate

I often find myself reusing code snippets, spending a fair amount of time referencing good coding and layout practices I have (or others have) used in the past, researching the latest improved ways to do the same old thing. What now feels like ages ago, and while investigating new HTML5 implementations, I came across a code base that I’ve since used in several projects.

Enter HTML5 Boilerplate brought to you by the venerable Paul Irish and open web vigilante Divya Manian. I think the website says it best:

HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass’s base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site.

Chock-full of the latest and great HTML5, CSS, and JS goodness to get you started on future web projects. Even better, if you are building a project in WordPress, there is also a HTML5 Boilerplate WordPress template available on Github.

It’s saving me time, it’s a great project, and I figured I’d help spread the word. Enjoy.
