I buy a lot of domain names for clients and when i do i always try to find the hot promo code of the week for my favorite registrar GoDaddy.com. I used to spend way too long searching the Googleverse* to find codes only to get dead, expired or otherwise useless codes. Now I have found searching recently tweed promo codes the absolute best way to find the GoDaddy deals

HowTo:
Twitter search for “Godaddy” + “Promo”: or just simply click this link and save it to your bookmarks: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=godaddy+promo

See folder content previews in Quick Look in 10.5 and 10.6

I use QuickLook pretty much everyday while searching through folders. I fin it most helpful when browsing documents, PDF’s and media files like photos or videos. Until now if you ran across a nested folder ( a folder inside of another folder) QuickLook will just show you a pretty little aqua blue folder. But adding this little hake-a-round I found on Mac OS X Hints and you’ll have a neat little semi-transparent folder to see your files in complete with a rotating animation of your files.

How Do You Do This You Say…Easy:

  1. Force Quit/Relaunch Finder Using the Force Quite Menu (or cmd + opt + esc)
  2. Open Terminal Application (in your Utilities folder)
  3. Enter or paste in the following command: defaults write com.apple.Finder QLEnableXRayFolders 1
  4. Relaunch Finder

[UPDATE: I was able to do this in 10.6.1 by just pasting the command into terminal without quitting the Finder.]

These are my before and afters. (click the first image to see the sequence)
