- Working around –non-interactive problems in Leopard’s Subversion
Apparently, the –non-interactive flag is broken in Subversion as distributed with Leopard and a fix is not yet available. Bad news for Maven users wanting to use any of the SCM tools.
Hopefully a fix will be available either through an update or a version of Subversion that can be compiled from source, but in the […]
- Cloned Mac migration problems? Check your permissions
I recently received a new(er) Macbook Pro, and wanted to get up and running in as short a period as possible. I chose to go with a full hard drive clone so that the minimum amount of modification and reinstallation would be necessary.
Apart from a small misunderstanding between me and my external USB drive, that […]
- Searching Archiva with Quicksilver
I run my own Archiva server to keep an offline repository of artifacts so that I can safely nuke my local repository at any time and to have a more typical set up.
I have’t written any Quicksilver actions before, but experimented with this one very quickly the other day - let me know if you […]
- Playing Albums with Quicksilver, iTunes and Artist Search
/ When less accurate is more
This is just a short note for anyone else that has encountered this most annoying trait in Quicksilver.
I started using Quicksilver to select the songs I wanted to play recently instead of dropping into iTunes itself (I’ve been using it to play/pause and move to the next song for some time). The ability to browse […]
- My MailTags 2.0 set up
I think I’ve finally hit my sweet spot with my mail set up. As I’ve previously written, since getting my MacBook and occasionally having to read my mail from a different computer/application, I switched to using a personal IMAP server for all of my mail.
Since switching to Apple Mail back August, the main reason I’ve […]
- Speeding up Apple Mail
Apparently this is a well known performance boost for Apple Mail users - I wish I’d known about it sooner! I’d been having all sorts of problems with performance and Mail.app hanging, and this simple trick has it like new again.
I have to wonder why such a thing isn’t done by Mail.app itself given how […]
- Switched to Google Reader
I saw someone mention that they liked the new Google Reader, so I thought it might be time to give it another try. I didn’t like the initial version in comparison to Bloglines which I’ve been using for 3-4 years, but I’m definitely a fan of the new one and I think I’ll stick with […]
- Moving to Mac OS X: from Thunderbird to Apple Mail
I recently got a shiny new MacBook Pro, and of course have been instantly hooked. In less than a week I seem to have learned my way around with equal proficiency to that other inferior operating system I’ve used for so long.
However, some habits die harder than others. I kept using Thunderbird since all my […]
