Not seeing the problem here... what happens if you change the timeserver to Apple Europe or Asia? Or pick a different timeserver, for example type in something like: 0.pool.ntp.org

A town called Julian used to have a Chirstmas shop open year-round. Nothing like wandering around in the Southern California sunshine to suddenly see christmas trees, lights, fake snow in the window, etc....

If you're viewing a sent message, from the Menu select View -> Message -> Long Headers (or hit Shift-Apple-H) and it should show the BCC field.

Ok so now we know the answer. Maybe you can use Apache's "suxec" to handle this more securely. Check out this write-up on how to use it: http://apache-server.com/tutorials/LPsuexec.html

Hmmm, maybe the osascript will only work if it's run by the user who "owns" the current login session... Try this to test (note this is unsecure so it's best to put things back the way they were once the test is done): (1) Stop the web server (2) Edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and set the User...

Open two terminal windows. In one: sudo tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log In the other: sudo tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log Now connect to your web server to view the PHP file, and see what (if any) errors or messages are reported.

Do you want to post the "nowplaying" script, since if other commands work with exec, this might well be the culprit?

Yes, /usr/bin/php is the default PHP. You'd have to invoke php from the command line as follows: /usr/local/php5/bin/php somescript.php

Have you altered your php.ini file also? Try having PHP report everything (notices and warnings as well as errors) by setting error_reporting in your php.ini file: error_reporting = E_ALL then restart the web server. Note that you can also test PHP scripts with the "php" command. Say your...

tuaw.com has exactly what you're looking for. Rather than put the command in a an executable script as they demonstrate, you could just use the "osascript" command directly in an exec() call. See: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/04/02/terminal-tip-now-playing-info-from-the-command-line/

The 'sed' command will do the trick. Say for example you have a text file "input.txt" and you want to replace every occurance of the word "Hello" with "Goodbye". The output will be in "output.txt". In the terminal, you can do: sed 's/Hello/Goodbye/g' input.txt > output.txt In the sed command...

My guess is he's fixing St. Peter's Mac ;) Bob - we'll all miss you!!!

I got Python 2.5.1 in an installable package from http://www.python.org/download/. It installs in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current... could cause conflicts down the line with "official" Apple releases, although I've been using it without problems so far... YMMV of course

Hex Fiend, written by an Apple Developer no less. Requires OS X 10.4. According to the website it's been tested on files up to 118GB.... :)

AppleScript can do it, so combine a one-liner AppleScript with the "osascript" command and you get something like: osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to set comment \ of file "your_filename" to "foo/bar/baz"' (Line broken for clarity, it should be entered as a single line)

What about the, sliding panels interface, for example on the right hand side of http://www.apple.com/downloads/. Nice, has to be said. Very nice.

Yup, grew up in Cork. Got offered the chance to come back and here I am! ;)

Was: California, USA Now: Cork, Ireland

It ain't pretty, and it ain't ideal (you'd need to play around with the delay settings etc. to work depending on the speed of your machine), but you could alias "brighter" to something like: osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to repeat 50 times' -e 'key code 113' -e 'delay 0.1' -e...
