iTerm
I’ve tried iTerm a few times before, and not really got on with it. I wandered past today however, and noticed that the new version has a full screen option. Yummy. So I’m giving it a trial run. It’s taken … Continue reading
TextMate Tip
I got really caught out today. I needed to get some code samples from TextMate into Keynote. Cut’n’paste didn’t copy across the colours correctly. Kind of to be expected, since TextMate is a plain text editor, not a rich text … Continue reading
Character Info in Textmate
One rather useful feature of vim is that you can pull up information about a character by positioning your cursor over it and hitting ga (get ASCII?). I quite miss this in textmate, so I created a small command to … Continue reading
System Keychain
This morning I was trying to add a new machine to my wireless network. Unfortunately, I’d forgotten the password… To the Keychain Access batcave! Unfortunately, the “Airport network password” is stored in the system keychain, instead of my login keychain. … Continue reading

Terminal, zsh & [Process Completed]
This is mostly a “me too!” post, but it’s been bugging me. Every other time I open a new Terminal window (under OS X Tiger, anyway), I get a [Process Completed] message instead of my shell. According to other people, … Continue reading
A Month of Mac
It’s now been a month since my shiny new Mac arrived. Overall, I’m still really, really happy with it. I’ve bought NetNewsWire for feed reading and textmate for editing. I’m a little concerned that I don’t have the source code … Continue reading
