After signing up for a (free) account on tunnelbroker.net and creating a (free) tunnel with my ipv4 address as the endpoint I was able to easily configure my AirPort Extreme. View your tunnel, then click on “Example Configurations” and then “Apple Airport.” In TCP/IP prefs for my MacBooks Network/AirPort Preferences I have “Configure IPv6″ set [...]
Did you know that the OnLive OSX app has its own built in drivers that work out of the box with your wired Xbox360 controllers? I found this to be fantastic, but I had already installed the tattiebogle.net controller driver it works, but it conflicts with OnLives use of the device so I couldn’t use [...]
Recently I found that it was taking appauling amounts of time to transfer files to/from my debian file server setup with netatalks AFP. I upgraded to the latest version to no avail, but this trick helped out quite a lot — http://www.netafp.com/tn003-slow-afp-read-performance-90/ Incidentally I believe, unscientifically, that it also helped my OnLive game latency quite [...]

We use dirname() a lot in php to make relative paths work from multiple locations like so. The advantages are many: require dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . ‘/required-file.php’; $data = file_get_contents( dirname(__FILE__).’/data/info.dat’); But in bash we often dont do the same thing, we settle for the old standby “../”. Which is a shame because [...]
I work in linux a lot… not bsd. So the OSX (bsd style) implementation of sed really throws me for a loop when I go text-file-spelunking, whats worse is that my scripts using sed aren’t portable between the two OSs. A quick googling this morning landed me here: http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForMac which gives perfectly good instructions on [...]
First of all I did not “upgrade” I backed up (using iBackup 6.2,) then booted into the installation DVD (restart, hold C for a long time) and then entered the disk utility, formatted my disk, and installed fresh. After rebooting and finishing my installation, I re-downloaded iBackup, and restored selected applications (and their settings,) My [...]
And if they aren’t, they should be! Ajax has long been the missing link between phones as a mobile computing platform and phones as a simple messaging device. the fact is that there is a vastly larger poll of people willing to write useful web apps than useful java apps. I would also argue that [...]
This is more or less a reference for myself in the future… in case I ever need to dig this up again… It’s quite easy to make a directory info an ISO image via the command line in OSX hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o ../myiso.iso ./
