has the leopard got new spots

Well I was such a little fanboi that I’ve got leopard installed, things that I’m interested in:-

* RSS reader in mail
* spaces
* calendar App showing todays date

Things they didn’t mention which i think are good:-

* Tabbed terminal windows! Apple+T for a new one, Apple+}|{ to move between tabs

Aside from that, the coverflow-esque viewer to finder is quite nice – and pretty quick too. Admittedly, zfs is there – but no zpool create yet Think i’ll have to get the developer kit for that one.

apple, macos

recent applications window

This little snippet will give you a new little window for all those recent applications you launch – I seem to have picked up a habit for closing applications down when I stop working with them for an hour or two (pages etc.)

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add \ '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }' killall Dock

rss browsing on macos

Hmm, so far in the last month or so I’ve been slowly running into issues with Mail.App just deciding not to download/refresh RSS feeds until I explicitly tell it to (which is annoying to say the least). So first had a play with Endo which is pretty good – apart from the annoyance that I have enough busy RSS feeds (blogs.sun.com and java.sun.com for instance) that the only real way to keep on top is to use Apple + 9 to only show unread posts.

The does have the little drawback that I then lose sight of the ones I’ve tagged – and it is a global option across all groups – yuck. So having just exported my feed list into OPML and then imported into NetNewsWire and it just worked (also looks a lot more like a mail client which i prefer)

Will have to see how it goes . . .

Hopefully I wont get into trouble from apple for even mentioning that they posted a new preview for java 6 on http://developer.apple.com/ on 18th Dec 2007

I’ll have to install and see how well it runs!

apple firmware for the ipod touch

You can find the old 1.1.1 firmware here.

Place touch into restore mode by holding “power” and “home” keys until it resets.
Release “power” button after screen goes black; keep the “home” key pressed until iTunes notices.
Option key + click “restore” in iTunes, it will prompt with an open file dialogue window, you can now select the firmware file
