here is a simple deployment shell script (.sh) using rsync to deploy your local application to a productive location.

You can download it here.

Follow the README file for setup and usage.

Feedback comments are always welcome :)

There are two ways of solving this, either you reinstall the game from your original CD (and it will setup the correct resolution for your mac) or correct the settings at UnrealTournament.ini :
find the lines that look something like this:
FullscreenViewportX=1280
FullscreenViewportY=1024

and change them to your current resolution, eg. :
FullscreenViewportX=1024
FullscreenViewportY=768

Save it and UT should now be up and running ;)

i tryed using some Adium away applescripts for QuickSilver posted at  blacktree but couldn’t get them to work, either no one ever tested it or they were designed for a really old Adium version.
So i wrote a couple of simple QuickSilver plugins to support setting away and back on all accounts on Adium 1.2+.

You can download them here!

Just unpack the zip and copy the applescript files to  “~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions”, you might have to create the “Actions” folder.
Restart Quicksilver and you’re done, just type “Adium set away” or “Adium Back from Away” in QS to use them :)

i’ve used firefox for development for quite some time now, but on a mac i’ve always liked Safari better for regular web browsing, as it always been much faster and cute.

But the recently released Firefox 3 for Mac really changed my mind. It is, without a doubt, awesome. Runs perfectly smoothly, really nice design, fastest browser ever.

Firefox 2 versions really dragged around with heavy Javascript applications such as Gmail or our upcoming FallForward, but this new version handles javascript even better than Safari 3.
This release has been a really nice boost for my web browsing as i’ve not been much into the latest beta versions of Firefox 3.

The bad part is Firebug still hasn’t come out on it’s official release for Firefox 3. However, i’m using the beta and it works really nice – and everything is perfect again.

A “must have” indeed.

Great work for the guys at Mozilla!!
By the way, great website design for http://www.mozilla.com ;)

uname -s

Linux Systems return “Linux”.
The Macs, for example, return “Darwin”.

In Mac OSX versions 10.5.2 and later:
$ dscacheutil -flushcache

In Mac OSX versions 10.5.1 and before:
$ lookupd -flushcache

this issue came to me after i got “Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/mysql/mysql.sock’” on a mysql connection on php on a fresh installed mac – php connect’s correctly to 127.0.0.1 , but does not connect to localhost .

On a mac the default mysql socket is ‘/private/tmp/mysql.sock‘ and not ‘/var/mysql/mysql.sock’, you can confirm it by using $ locate mysql.sock on a Terminal.

So basically you have to change the php default connection socket to mysql to ‘/private/tmp/mysql.sock‘ . To do this you have to edit your php.ini – probably located at ‘/private/etc/php.ini‘ – via:

• $ sudo nano /private/etc/php.ini
• ctrl+w (where is) “mysql.default_socket“
• alter to “mysql.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock”
• crtl+x followed by y and enter to save php.ini
• $ sudo httpd -k restart to restart Apache 2

Retry connecting to mysql localhost on php – should be working :)

Update:
if you use mysqli you also must set “mysqli.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock” on php.ini;

• Open a Terminal and $ sudo nano /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf ;
• ctrl+w (where is) : “<Directory />” ;
• Alter the line below from “Deny from all” to “Allow from all“;
• ctrl+x and y to save;
• now $ sudo httpd -k restart to restart your Apache 2 server;

Now retry accessing http://localhost/~username on your browser – that should do it;

According to InformationWeek, Popular Mechanics “tested two all-in-one desktops and notebooks, one Mac and one PC in each category, using a panel of testers ranging from experts to the I-just-want-it-to-work type of consumer”.
The results were published in in Popular Mechanics‘s May issue.

There is a logic to it:
Apple’s hardware is carefully built to be the most stable and compatible as possible, and the driver’s provided by OS X’s boot camp are perfectly designed for Vista to work perfectly with all the hardware in a Mac.
Apple tries to give such a perfect environment to it’s OS X that Windows Vista becomes actually much better on a Mac than most PC’s.

They also proved false the “a Mac’s way more expensive” PC lovers line. Apparently the only PC’s closely matched to their Mac’s counterparts – Gateway desktop and Asus notebook, priced the same or even higher than the Mac’s.

When they tested OS X Leopard vs Vista the results were more or less expected, Leopard won all the trials, and most of them such as performance, application launch times, features, etc. by a long way.
On the downside they found that most users only love OS X Leopard’s look and feel a little bit more than Vista’s.

Apple won both in laptops and desktops categories – Now there’s no excuse not to buy a mac.
