nickypon Ask HN: What email client do you use?

Not to mention drag-and-drop support, which is why I don't use a webmail client as my main vehicle for email (which allows some nice workflow together with Exposé)

I'm also used to the excellent inline PDF viewing, quicklook for attached foto's and documents and the data detectors for addresses and phone numbers.

nickypon Ask HN: Any good free HTML/CSS templates for a Web app administration GUI?

Check out YUI app theme, it's built using the Yahoo Interface Library Grids which means rather great browser support across the board.

nickypon How do you manage your 30" Monitor on a Macintosh

Most Mac apps seem to remember its window size when you open a new window: Safari, TextMate, Firefox, Pages etc.

So I make drag these apps into nice grids: - a small left hand strip for Twitterific, iChat, Skype etc. this strip also pushes the next windows a bit more to the center. Helpful because the 30inch is so wide. - Safari, Texmate, Firefox etc. is next.My default Safari width is often the width of Apple.com so no scrollbars are shown. - leftover space is for PDF documentation and when I need 2 windows next to each other e.g. 2 Xcode windows. Plenty of space left for that.

Apps like Logic Pro, Aperture, iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes are run maximized/fullscreen.

Terminal.app is indeed ill-equipped when it comes to resizing etc. I usually build a couple of window groups that fit my needs (e.g. four-in-a-square with a wide window for logs) and open-and-close such a window group if the current layout isn't optimal.
