I had the pleasure of chatting with TJ Luoma this week on Systematic. We’ve known each other for quite some time now, but this is the first time we’ve ever spoken. It was a lot of fun.

This is a quick update to Sidecar (2.1) that re-enables dragging so you can get it moved over to a second monitor. Unfortunately I can’t set a default point on a secondary monitor, so you’ll most likely have to reposition it on every launch. It’s a start, though. I’ll work to come up with a solution for that.

I had the great pleasure of talking with my wife, Aditi Terpstra, on this week’s Systematic. We talked about animal behavior, dogs and other stuff that she knows like nobody else.

The next (and hopefully last before official release) nvALT 2.2 beta is up. The first version you’ll get in your updater or direct download will be 2.2b106. Depending on your OS version, you’ll then be pointed to an appropriate version for 10.6 or 10.7+. We’re splitting off the 10.6 users so we can develop for Lion/Mountain Lion while still maintaining a working Snow Leopard version.

In case you missed it this weekend, I wrote a little script called “nvremind” (pronounced “nevermind”). It scans folders of text files for occurrences of @remind(YYYY-mm-dd) tags and triggers reminders for you in Reminders.app, by email, in Notification Center, or any combination of those.

I recently added a PopClip extension for dialing Skype to my collection. It scans selected text for a 7 or 10-digit phone number, offering a Skype button in the PopClip popup if it finds one. When activated, it dials the first match in the selected text.

Simplify 2.7 is out and Sidecar has updated to make use of the new API. The biggest improvement you’ll notice is that background clicks are now captured perfectly, so clicking anywhere on Sidecar will start and stop your music properly on the first click. Double-clicking advances the track, and Command-clicking seeks to a position in the song based on where you click in the vertical progress meter.

I stumbled upon a BetterTouchTool setting that filled me with glee today. It probably should have been obvious to me earlier, but I hadn’t tried right clicking a gesture in the table view. When you do, you get this menu:

I’m just full of news this morning. Systematic 47 is live with my guest Fletcher Penney. Fletcher, in addition to his medical career, is the creator of MultiMarkdown and MultiMarkdown Composer.
