About Me

Developer, entrepreneur, husband, dad, cyclist, sometime triathlete and anything else I can squeeze in. I'm cursed with a short attention span and only 24 hours in most days.

I'm CTO of Esendex the business messaging service provider I founded with Julian Hucker back in 2002.

My love of cycling has also lead me to develop Bunch Rides with @adpugh. Together we aiming to get Britain's cyclist out on the roads together.

It seems the preferences pane option is not a toggle so you'll need to go in an edit the file associates yourself.

it adds a preference pane into Systems Preferences to give you full control and restore order.

or...

as @danlane pointed out to me after posting this originally

you could right click on a file, choose "Get Info" then set "Open With" remembering to hit the "Change All..." 

But I think my way preserves the feeling of magic I like from an OS.
