I have made myself a simple Google Analytics icon for a Mozilla Prism application. I though maybe someone will like it so I decided to share it under Creative Commons Attribution license. Feel free to use it anyhow you wish. If you would like to make it available at your website, it would be nice if you provided a link back to http://www.josefrichter.com

It’s a transparent background PNG suitable especially for Apple Mac OS Leopard Dock.

Enjoy!

Changing keys on Apple keyboard

I bought a Czech Apple Keyboard recently. But surprisingly, it had a QWERTZ layout. This is an old Czech layout used on typewriters, but I seriously doubt you could get it anymore on any notebook. So I don’t understand why Apple uses it… Anyway, the task was to swap Y and Z key.

I got some advice from guys at macblog.sk forum. This is a how to video. Unlike in the video, the standard wired keyboard has the key mechanism 90 degrees rotated. See detailed photos of the mechanism, if you want to swap keys as well.

Batch resize of images in MacOS

I was looking for a simple utility for batch resizing of images. I used batch operations in XnView in Windows but can’t find suitable alternative for Mac. Fortunately, I found out that I can easily create such utility myself in Automator. If you don’t want to play with Automator, I give away my utility for free download.

It works this way:

1. select files to resize

2. select destination folder

3. select new size of the files

…and that’s it. Download the application from the widget in the sidebar or use this direct link. Enjoy!

For completeness, here is how it looks in Automator:
