Dear Webmaster Tools user,
We know that having a healthy and well-performing website is important to you. To keep you informed about your site’s status Webmaster Tools will now automatically send you a notification email if there are critical or important issues that we detect with your site.
We’ll only send you email for issues that we think have significant impact on your site’s health or search performance which have clear actions that you can take to address. For example, we’ll email you if we detect malware on your site or see a significant increase in errors while crawling your site.
For most sites these kinds of issues will occur rarely. If your site does happen to have an issue we cap the number of emails we send over a certain period of time to avoid flooding your inbox.
If you don’t want to receive any email from Webmaster Tools you can change your email delivery preferences at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/preferences.
We hope that you find this change a useful way to stay up-to-date on critical and important issues regarding your site’s health.

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google Webmaster Tools account.
If you’re doing some web development with CodeKit and want to be able to send folders to the program via the command line (I was really hoping to do this via Quicksilver), then you can use this little tidbit:
open -a /Applications/CodeKit.app “/path/to/your/project”
The CodeKit application apparently does not associate itself with being able to open files and so it doesn’t register with folders or files as being an available “Open With” application for opening them.
Again I was hoping to do this via a quicksilver action, something like:
If it did then quicksilver would stick it in the third pane when using the “Open With” action, wouldn’t that be nice!
It is possible to get it into the third pane but you need to have the path to the application in your clipboard (`/Applications/CodeKit.app`) and then:
1. Select the Folder
2. Choose “Open With”
3. Tab to the third pane and paste the path to the application in.
That’s demonstrated in the screenshot above.
CodeKit’s not too bad, some aspects seem sluggish and I wish there were more features to customize it – like inclusion and exclusion rules and a finer grained control of which tabs refresh in the browser – also maybe some explanation of their partial CSS injection-on-update feature they have in the preferences.
Twitter looks like they have one of the backgrounds for their sign in page featuring a photo of Cricket Players in India.
Possibly this is not India, but may be Srinagar. The background appears to have a Mosque, possibly the Hazratbal Mosque / Hazratbal Shrine, which is located is situated on the left bank of the Dal Lake, Srinagar.
Update – thanks for the comment – this appears to be the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Oman:
Here is how the image appears on the background of the twitter login page:
I thought it was the Hazratbal Mosque / Hazratbal Shrine – but it is not. Here is what that shrine / mosque looks like in the day time:
If you’re wondering what `Popup.app` is on your Mac, the little program that has a lighthouse as an icon, and you are questioning “How did this thing get on my computer?”, well, I have your answer.
Popup.app is the pharos print popup manager. If search your hard drive for Popup.app you should find it located:
/Library/Application Support/Pharos/Popup.app
The version I have says:
Popup.app, version 8.1 (5169)

If you have XCode installed you can go to preferences, downloads, and install the iOS Simulator, at this time the `iOS 5.0 Simulator` is the only one available, even though `iOS 6.0` is already out.
Once it’s installed you’ll have a new application – but it is not clear where the application is actually stored.
You’ll need the path for the `iOS Simulator` if you want to actually launch it or open it.
Fortunately that’s not a big problem – the iPhoneSimulator can be found at:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app
Now all you have to do is open it. Voila!

Twitter says “Take Twitter with you. Get the app.”
I know why the have most of these apps, like the iPad / iPhone and Android. Hell, even the windows app. But why is the Nokia s40 so special that it gets it’s own app? Is this the European iPhone?
When Github is slow it will give this error: Page did not respond in a timely fashion.
And they have a nice picture of an Angry Unicorn:

If you’re using Clippings.app from the App Store version 1.5.1 with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 you’re likely going to have problems.
The app just crashes on Snow Leopard as it can’t render the windows properly. Running the Console.app will confirm this.
