Flickr RSS Feeds as Photocasts in iPhoto ’06
I assume everybody who is interested has found out by now, that you can subscribe to Flickr RSS feeds with the new iPhoto ’06 to have them show up as what Apple calls Photocast. The bad thing about it is that several infos are lost and mainly the feed only contains the small images.
A witty macosxhints user has reacted immediately and set up a little web application to convert the Flickr feeds for subscribing in iPhoto ’06, check it out below:
Thank you 3eyes (John Evans) 
edit:
thanks to Jason who pointed me in the direction of a very similar service, with a few extra features, called photocastr.

Facebook iPhone Dev Quits Project Over Apple Tyranny What a shame! Joe Hewitt was a very skilled iPhone developer and it’s a pity to see him move back to the web because of Apple’s App Store policies. My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple’s policies. I respect their right

I use the really great macFUSE to mount several server directories via SSH on my work computer. One programm that makes this process really easy is Macfusion which offers a menu item and a standalone application to configure your mountpoints and mount/unmount them. After upgrading to Snow Leopard recently Macfusion & macFUSE stopped working, so

Media category in the OS X file chooser
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
Either I’ve never recognized it before, or Apple published this new feature with their latest OS X update. There is now a Media category in the standard OS file chooser that lets you choose movies, pictures and music, pulling it straight from the respective iApp’s library (iTunes, iPhoto etc.). I think this is a really helpful addition.

Back in 2007 Nokia started releasing iSync plugins. Also back in 2007 I read a similar Sony Ericsson announcment. The slight difference: Nokia iSync plugins actually exist. As every project needs a kick-off… here it is. There is a great tool called iSync Plug-In Maker (it’s included in the Apple Developer Tools) Apple already has
Gmail invades Apple Mail
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
Today while playing around with the new Apple Mail’s IMAP IDLE feature (which still doesn’t quit work I think) I discovered an interesting bit in the Preferences window. Apparently Google succeeded in placing a link to it’s own help page into the Accounts settings in Leopard’s Mail.app. If this is placed there by Apple or

I have also implemented a similar application to be found
at http://photocastr.com/
I allow you to authenticate my app to your flickr account so

Try it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks!
