Tobby :
When I switched to a Mac recently, one of the things I loved about it was the underlying Unix shell. One of the most frequent things I do in a day is connect to a web server over SSH to do routine things (set permissions, edit a file, remove something, etc.). One annoying detail, however small, is that the username on my Mac is different than the various usernames I have on the servers I visit frequently.

Out of the box, Quicksilver, a wonderful app launcher and more for Mac, and Subversion, a top open source version control system do not have a happy marriage. However, a one easy step can have you humming right along with a great integration of these two incredible tools.

While looking around for how to run multiple IE browsers, I found a new solution and wanted to
share it. Running a virtual machine of windows is nothing new really. But I discovered something
that made it a little less of a hurdle, and Microsoft is responsible and it's pretty cool.

In my infinite quest for knowledge on everything 'web' I've come across a slew of tools that you might find useful. Some are old, some are new, but hopefully you'll find at least one you didn't know about, that you can use.

The fastest way to send e-mails from your e-mail client (e.g. Mail) on OS-X is to use local SMTP server. You also need local SMTP if you are using your Mac as a development platform (say, for Drupal) and are testing some e-mail related functionality. Since OS-X Leopard is a powerful Unix system, installing a local SMTP server is not a problem. As a matter of fact, Leopard comes with pre-installed SMTP server (Postfix), we just need to enable it. The following quick tutorial, from the In Under 5 Minutes series, shows how to do it.

How frustrating is it when you are in vi and hit the backspace key and all it does is insert ????^? into your text file? I have run into this problem during my conversion from XP to OS X. I do a vast majority of my work on remote Linux machines – thus am a slave to SSH. I begrudgingly admit that I love VI….except for problems like this.
