    flash player performance on osX

    Like most everything else in OSX, the RAM plays a bigger role on display performance... you can get it much better than OS9 performance, but Winders got the good flash plugins.

    SFTP Permissions driving me nuts!

    I've just started using MacSFTP and it looks like it has the most robust options... allowing you to write specific permissions by default to all your uploads. Hopefully it will work.

    SFTP Permissions driving me nuts!

    Its wierd, my login is definitely a member of a group, but when I post files, the group is correct, but the permissions are varied from program to program... but consistently overwritten wrong. The only program that lets you choose if you want to post-process permissions is cyberduck...but it...

    SFTP Permissions driving me nuts!

    OK, so I have to use SFTP to post my Web projects at work. The login I have to the server is part of a group, so that should set the correct permissions by default when I upload something... but so far all the SFTPer's I've used (Transmit, Fugu, CyberDuck) have somehow overridden this on any...

    CSS Floats and resizing background

    Ahh, now copy that code into bbedit, and change the doctype to the default bbedit transitional doctype that has the url in it, and watch the whole thing stop working for IE. Take the URL out of the Doctype, and its back to normal.

    CSS Floats and resizing background

    I just read that IE6 for Windows reverts to a strict mode if you put a url in your doctype. This might effect one of your styles in that browser.

    Best web browser for OSX?

    Im happy with FireFox... its seems a little more standards compliant than Safari (at least the last time I checked) I also keep IE around for testing and development. :|

    javascript screen.availWidth problem

    Try putting this into the popup right after the body tag: <script language="JavaScript"><!-- self.moveTo((screen.AvailWidth-700),0); --></script> or you could enter it in a script tag

    New Logitech Control Center (1.2)

    Heh, slightly off topic, but I use my wheel button to initiate the often-used screenshot-in-a-box, and I use my app-switcher button for muting the sound....but I woulndt mind having another button for expose!

    Kernel Panics in Panther - my saga

    Its less than 6 months old, so maybe I have something. I think my boss is just going to get me a second 512 so I'll shut up and keep working. :P

    Kernel Panics in Panther - my saga

    Ugh, the beast rears its head again. Today, I was multi-tasking (two monitors, iTunes, USB mouse, FireFox, Mail, Fireworks)...and my Mac started getting hotter and hotter... which is normal for running i-Tunes or Flash. So anyways it kernal panics and freezes. I let it cool down, and...

    12 kernal panics a day; determining cause?

    Be sure to try the Apple RAM by itself, without the Crucial. You never know. I had bad non-apple RAM in my al-book causing constant Kernal Panics. I got it replaced, and so-far-so-good.

    Kernel Panics in Panther - my saga

    Hopefully my ending to this story...a happy one: MacMall listened when I said flat out "Apple told me the free RAM is defective". They overnighted me a new chip and a fedex slip to return the bad card. Hat's off to MacMall for exceeding expectations! So far, crash-free for 3 days. :D

    Two Panther Blessings

    Panther has been treating me well, of late: :D 1. Panther comes bundled with PHP Version 4.3.2, easily activated by 'uncommenting', and nicely configured out-of-the-box. :D 2. You can open and edit the master Hosts file to block IPs or domains, and it works right then and there...very...

    Funny mailer-daemon messages - :confused:

    The virus is MyDoom. Its designed to run though windows email clients and kazaa users and it will propogate itself very agressively. On Feb 1, all the infected machines will begin a Denial-of-Service type of attack targeting SCO's servers. (SCO is suing people for anything with "nix" at the...

    Kernel Panics in Panther - my saga

    I have removed the 512 MB ram and had no problems (except a slower computer) for 3 days straight now.... coming from at least 2 kernel panics a day... I think we've got the problem nailed, in a few more days, I will start pestering macmall about replacing my RAM... (that should be fun...
