I started out with going through this tutorial step by step. This site's good too http://macscripter.net/ :)

ah it's ok. i fixed it now :)

hey y'all! I started to learn a bit of applescript but it's a bit weird. I want to have a GUI frontend to a perl script that I created. I built the GUI with Interface Builder. It has an NSSearchField called search and an NSTextView called resultArea. I want a search item to be put into the...

great! it's printing now. i have no idea why but i don't care that much :)

hello, my printer is attached to my linux PC (IP address: 192.168.0.1) and my iBook (IP address: 192.168.0.2) is attached to my linux machine with the ethernet card. i added the PC's printer to my iBook with the command: lpadmin -p linux_printer -v ipp://192.168.0.1:631/printers/Printer...

locally, it just prints out \342\202\254 but when i'm logged in to to the server, the euro symbol appears correctly.

this is what gets displayed when i try to enter the € symbol by typing alt-2: \342\202\254 escaping the character does nothing. it's not a major issue i suppose but it's a tad annoying all the same...

hello, for some reason, i can't type special characters like í or even € in Terminal.app but when i'm sshed into a server in college, the special characters appear, no problems. is there a way of turning on extra character support in the terminal for all the time?

oh, BTW, i wrote a little perl script to do this. if you want it you can download it here: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~dr_gonzo/files/clean_mp3_player it's free! :D

yeah, i was wondering why it wasn't happening when i'd only transfer a folder over. cheers for the url, i'll probably just write a shell/perl script for it though.

Hello, I got an iGP-100 in the post today and everything's sweet except that when I transfer files over, a strange thing happens. example: if I transfer a file called 01-song.mp3, a file called ._01-song.mp3 is also created on the mp3 player which is annoying 'cause i have to wait for the...

that's great thanks!

It was a SWI Prolog pkg. I downloaded it from their site. I was just wondering if I needed to upgrade it, how would I do it. What command is executed when I double click the .pkg? Is there anything on developer.apple.com that'd share more light on it?

Hello, Is there a way of removing a .pkg package? A few months ago, i downloaded and installed a program which had the .pkg suffix. The program installed to /usr/local What command do I need to remove this package (e.g. apt-get remove pacakge_name) ?

Howdy, I'm looking for an mp3 player with a capacity of 128MB upwards for under €150. I recently bought a 128MB muvo and all was well until it needed a format which can only be done in Windows as creative haven't written a muvo formatter for the mac. :( So, I'm on the prowl again for a...
