Firefox plugin: It's All Text! - O'Reilly Mac DevCenter Blog
Thanks to a post on Lifehacker, I found out about the It’s All Text Firefox plugin that lets you edit any text area in your favorite editor.

The trick is to point at the binary and not the application folder.
For example. TextMate.app is just a folder. You need to point to
the executable at this location./Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin
To do this, you need to get past the application's folder.
When you are setting the preferences, you need hit the
key sequence of Command-Shift-G to target the binary within
the Application's folder.Great plugin!

Spotlight’s Secret Search Syntax - Kirkville
With the release of Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, Apple has greatly improved its search technology, called Spotlight. Introduced with the previous version of Mac OS X (Tiger), Spotlight was both brilliant and stunted; brilliant because it can work so well in certain situations, but stunted because it was so limited. It didn’t offer Boolean searches (AND, NOT, OR), which meant all your searches were, like Google searches, based on every word you entered. So if you typed King and Lear, you’d find anything with both words, but not with King or Lear alone. And there was no way to find a file containing Kind and NOT Lear. All that’s changed.
Get more from Spotlight with new operators - macosxhints.com - 10.5:
In 10.5, the number of such operators has been greatly expanded, though there's little to no documentation on what's available.
