How's the last few months been for everyone?

Hey all, I'm going to have to be moving into a hotel for a while. I'm not gonna have any 'net access, so I'll be away from the board for a while. I'm not sure when I'll get my access back - I have some credit issues to work out before I do. I hope y'all have good times while I'm gone - I'll...

Ok, this is something of a cross post, but I thought the people in this forum would be interested in this. I just released, for beta testing, timeLoop. It's a system daemon that will run cron jobs missed while the computer was asleep/shut down. Zero configuration required, works right along...

What do you guys think of my site? Since I've made some comments about others' sites, I figure it's only fair of me to let y'all do the same with mine. ;) Oh, and please, only comments about the site, and nothing else, in here. http://homepage.mac.com/darkshadow02/index.html All the...

I have (finally) put up my software I've been developing for the last...well, while. They all work fine - on my systems. Now I need to make sure that they work fine with other systems. There are two applications, two preference panes, and a few command line programs that I would like to get...

...and keeps plugging the iTMS. Heard it on the radio this morning. Plus, like 5 people called up begging to win an iPod. :D It sounds like Apple paid to do advertising on the show, though I dunno if that's true or not.

Hey guys, I lost my internet connection 2 days ago...again... This time I was expecting it, but it happened quicker than I thought. We (everyone I was staying with) are all moving, but sooner than I had expected. I should be back online some time in the next week. So keep the new posts...

I was thinking, if you renamed the forum to something like Tips, Tricks, and FAQs, there would most likely be less people asking questions in the forum. The HOWTO part seems to be attracting people who want to know how to do something. And most of the HOWTOs could be renamed as tips or...

Hey, anybody having a problem getting iChat to connect right now? I had to reboot, and now iChat won't connect to AIM. Just wondering if it's just me or if it's an actual connection problem on the server end.

Is there an easy way to do this? I'm writing a small program for myself, and one of the steps requires me to strip the html code out of a source page. I do need, however, to keep the alt part from the image tags - just the text that would be displayed if the images weren't displayed.

...which is why I'm posting here. I need a few beta testers that have actually configured the httpd.conf file somewhat extensively (enough that it doesn't really match the default one anymore). I'm not gonna say what you're gonna be testing, but I think ya can figure it out from that ;)...

....I found out I lost my internet connection. That was something I had expected...unfortunately I couldn't get a new ISP. So it's been a little over a year and a half since I've been online. Just thought I'd say... I'm baaaaack! :p

Ya can get it right here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120068 The article doesn't say what was changed...hopefully the missing sound is fixed.

From xlr8yourmac.com: DVDs Playing on my B&W G3 with OS X 10.1 Player Mod! - Here's How: - I can now say that the mod noted earlier today does work, at least on a B&W G3. I have a B&W G3 with a PCI Radeon card and the original DVD-ROM drive. As I'm typing this a DVD movie is playing on it...

Just when I thought things were great with the update... I just found out that 10.1 totally messed up many of the Unix commands during it's installation. It seems that it started to write the files, then just skipped to the next one. This left me with many commands that don't work. They...

Edit the file /Users/<b>your_username</b>/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist. Scroll down till you find the line that says <xmp><key>com.apple.mouse.scaling</key></xmp> Right under it is a number (probably set at 1.7) with a bunch of zeros after it. Change that number to up...

This will explain how to speed up DNS lookups. This is useful for contacting servers much quicker than normal, plus not waiting around forever before a lookup fails. I would just like to note at the beginning here that this will not load web pages any faster, or let you download anything...

Anybody out there know how to do this one programatically? I'm currently using an NSTask to run a shell script that does ps | grep then echo to return if it's running or not, but this creates 4 new processes...this thing polls every 45 seconds, so my process numbers shoot up like no tomorrow...
