Yasu 2.6.8 b2 Available for Download
A new public beta of Yasu is available for download on the Yasu page.
This version addresses the following:
- Failure to clear all system & browser cache files if there were an overly large number of files to be removed.
- Adding the “-r” (recursive) switch to the reset launch services option for Snow Leopard which was mistakenly omitted (Thanks to Gregory Swain for pointing this out).
- Fixed an issue where the maintenance preferences were not being written to disk when Yasu was quit.
Even though it’s a beta release, this version is a recommended update for those who want to live somewhat on the edge. On a test machine that had Yasu 2.6.7 run on it only seven days earlier, version 2.6.8 b2 was able to recover 4.66 GB of disk space…
That’s a lot of files that were being missed…
If no issues are reported, this version will most likely be released as the final version within the next day or two. Please feel free to drop me a line if you try it out and find something wrong.
New AppleScript to Post to Twitter
I’ve hacked together a quick little AppleScript that will let you post quick one-off tweets to Twitter without the hassle of dealing with a full-on client.
I originally created it to fire off quick to-do’s to Remember the Milk. Combined with FastScripts from Red Sweater Software, it takes me 2 seconds to get that to-do reminder out of the way and back to work. It also keeps me from browsing through my Twitter feed, which my ADD nature tends to want to do.
If it sounds like something you could use, go check it out. The code is totally open source, so add to it as you have need. If you come up with something cool, let me know.
