Well, that was... odd... I disconnected my iBook from power like I often do, and carried it into the other room. Soon after it just powered down completely. I had to remove and replace the battery to get it to turn on again. At startup, I noticed the following message reported: ApplePMU: PMU...

Yeah, like the title says, the column and icon views in the Finder are showing all icons as disabled (i.e. greyed out). List view looks normal. Everything is functioning properly, but it just looks a little odd. Does this perhaps have anything to do with the fact that Spotlight is still indexing...

Is there software readily available to do this? I basically just want my Zire 72 to function as a remote keyboard and mouse, with the touch screen acting as mouse control, and the Graffiti area sending keystrokes. It would save me the trouble of buying something like a presenter's remote. Heh.

Okay, so here's the scenario. I've got an order status page that I want to check for updates, maybe hourly or so. This page is also behind a cookie-based login/password authentication system. I'd like to find something that will allow an email to be sent to an arbitrary address whenever updates...

So, I need to get the ipcs and ipcrm utilities installed on my system. I can't find decent OS X ports anywhere. I've tried getting it with darwinports, but the latest CVS snapshot won't even build. [~/src/darwinports/base] dave$ ./configure checking build system type... configure: error...

So apparently OS X doesn't support semaphores, despite providing fully formed header files for the API. Yeah, okay, whatever, that makes a hell of a lot of sense. I do so love mysterious run-time errors instead of straight-forward compiler errors. Anyway, what's the simplest way of getting a...

Alright, so I'm trying to build some simple X11 programs. It compiles just fine, but when it hits linking stage, it's can't find the symbols that would be in xlib. However, I see quite a few libX11 files in /usr/X11R6/lib, so I suspect it's not including that in the search path. I also tried...

http://store.apple.com Go go go! ;-)

So I've got some really simple source code that does some basic DES related stuff, and it (obviously) uses libdes. However, attempting to compile with -ldes gives "ld: can't locate file for: -ldes". If I just specify "/usr/lib/libdes425.dylib" as another argument, it builds and runs okay. Of...

This beats the hell out of me. I just got my new iBook yesterday, and I'm trying to use it here on the campus network with Airport Extreme, and every three seconds, the link status cycles between up and down. The signal is perfectly fine - 3 bars steady (when it's actually up). And my old iBook...

I just installed the 10.3.4 update this morning, and now iChat uses maximum CPU time when running. Anyone else notice this? And did you find a solution? I suppose I could just get an older version of iChat or something. Time to send the ol' bug report to Apple...

Anybody gotten the PS2 EyeToy camera to function with OS X? I have a feeling I'll need to install a proper driver, but I'm not sure if it's just a repackaged OEM version of another camera, and if so, which one.

I tried searching for this, but the board has a 3 character minimum for search terms. Blah. What are my options for running C# programs? I tried building mono and rotor, but neither of them compiled correctly as packaged.

How can I send the output of a command to a while loop. I can do so with a file doing this: while command do something done < /tmp/foo

I often find myself connected to the internet via Airport, and also needing to connect to a 10. local network over ethernet at the same time for a bit of experimental work. What I would like to do is route all traffic to and from the 10. network to ethernet where it should be, while maintaining...

I've got a few things installed via fink, and when I do the 10.3 upgrade, I don't want to kill it all. Can I safely backup the /sw directory, then just restore it into place and expect everything to work? That is, assuming it's not stuff that depends too much on libraries that are going to be...

How do I configure it? I want it to behave as in tsch, i.e. no obnoxious beeping on ambiguity, and automatically listing all possible matches without hitting tab twice. I can't find any good documentation on setting this up.

So I had Brickhouse installed for a little while to configure ipfw. Now I don't want it anymore, but the Firewall in the Sharing prefs tells me other firewall software is running. I've tried every method I can think of to disable Brickhouse completely, but I've apparently missed something. Do...

Here's the scenario: I'm sitting in class, my iBook is connected to the campus network via 802.11b, and around 6:30 PM, the signal disappears. Attempts to reconnect fail with the usual message - "There was an error joining the selected AirPort network." Since then, I haven't been able to connect...
