[iPhone] Edit Edge Settings under Firmware 1.1.4

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

I've found it easiest to add this using BBEdit, but I suppose any useful text editor will do. Interestingly, you can't edit plist files with nano. posted by siliconmeadow

PosteRazor 1.5

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:57:05 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Have you ever wanted to print a high-resolution image at a very large size—say, the size of a poster—but you don’t have a wide-format printer (or don’t want to pay for the use of one at your local print shop)? One solution is to print the image in smaller sections, each taking up a sheet of standard paper, and then put those sections together to create the full image. Doing exactly this is the purpose of Alessandro Portale’s PosteRazor 1.5 (; free).

Macworld | Mac OS X Hints | Select hidden drop-down menu choices via keyboard

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:54:37 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

What you may not have known is that you can do the same thing for certain drop-down menus hiding behind buttons—even when those menus aren’t yet visible. To take best advantage of this trick, you must first make sure you’ve got your machine set up such that the Tab key takes you to each available input. To do that, open the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel, and then click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. At the bottom of this panel, make sure Full Keyboard Access is set to All Controls. You can now use the Tab key to select the drop-down menu, which you’ll need to do in order to then use the keyboard to access that drop-down’s menu items.

Using CMD instead of Control in GIMP

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:55:45 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

It is possible to use CMD instead of Control for keyboard shortcuts. Just follow these instructions while GIMP and X11 are closed : Create a .Xmodmap file in your home-folder containing the following:

clear Mod2
clear control
keycode 63 = Control_L
keycode 67 = Control_L
add control = Control_L

Then open X11 and change its preferences like this :

Now open GIMP. CMD+C and all the stuff should work.

MacCast Forum > Time machine error?

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 14:00:43 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

If Time Machine gets disrupted for any reason during a backup (ie. hard drive unplugged, power failure) it seems to get stuck. Occasionally it gets stuck for reasons only known to Leopard. Its a known bug on the Apple discussion boards. What has worked for me is the following:
1. ensure hard drive is powered on and connected to computer
2. turn off time machine
3. go to your backup volume, backups.backupd, "your computer name", and then select and trash "In Progress" or "Latest" (it will be the last one in your backup folder listing)
4. turn Time Machine back on
5. either wait for the next backup cycle, or what I do to be sure things are working right is force an immediate backup (control-click on TimeMachine, select "backup now").

|| TrajiklyHip - Blog ||: A Fix for Time Machine's Backup Failure

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:58:38 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

To get Time Machine going again, you need to remove the errant files with the following steps:

Ensure your backup device is turned on and connected to your computer (wirelessly or wired, it doesn't matter)
Turn off Time Machine using the big button in Time Machine preferences. NOTE: I did not execute this step and was still able to fix Time Machine.
Make sure the backup volume (which is just part of the backup drive) is mounted to your desktop/Finder. You may have to initiate (and subsequently cancel) a Time Machine backup process in order to see the drive on the desktop or in Finder.
Access your backup volume in Finder (it should be named "Backup of your-computer-name..." or something similar) and double-click into the "Backups.backupdb" folder.
Next, click into the "your-computer-name" folder. You should see a bunch of folders with dates. These are all the dates corresponding to days you ran a successful backup.
At the bottom of the folder listing will be one or two things you need to move to the trash. You may see only one or both of these, but delete the file that starts with a date (it should be the date the backup failure started) and ends in ".inProgress." Also delete a file named "Latest" if it exists.
Return to Time Machine preferences and turn Time Machine on. Remember, I was successful without performing this step.
Initiate a backup using the Time Machine drop-down in the menu bar or wait until the next scheduled backup run.
A final but important step, be patient. Time Machine may sit in "preparing" mode for a while. It's important to at least let it run for an hour or so to see if the process will continue actually writing files to your backup volume.
