TV shows (or, the magic of crontab)">Forcing iTunes to automatically download TV shows (or, the magic of crontab)

January 29, 2009

In the past two weeks, I have expe­ri­enced noth­ing but heart­break and let­down with regard to Bit­Tor­rent.  Most things I down­load, I am per­fectly con­tent with access­ing them a day or two later, but LOST is my big show.  I have to watch it that very night.  When it comes to LOST, I had grown […]

August 12, 2007

Back in my day, we got an iPhone and we hacked it by hand!  We fid­dled with shell scripts and USB con­nec­tions and com­pil­ers until every­thing even­tu­ally worked!  You kids, these days, with your fancy GUI installers take all the fun out of things! So, yes, a few weeks ago, I hacked my iPhone.  The […]

Tabs and Books

February 24, 2003

“defaults write com.apple.Safari Includ­eDe­bug­Menu 1″ ================= Safari with tabbed brows­ing! Yeay! To keep up with the Jones’ (or, at least, Cit­i­zen X), I will con­tinue the meme… The first line of every book within arm’s reach… “The road to suc­cess­ful web appli­ca­tions is paved with the sweat and heartache of the many who came before us.“ – […]
