Geektook is pretty cool stuff. One of its most flexible uses is to render the output of shell commands onto your desktop.
Unfortunately, you might be confused for a while when seemingly arbitrary simple commands produce no output at all. Debugging is hard when stderr is being discarded!
It turns out that Geektool [...]
As anticipated, this is no longer required for the latest version of QuickCursor, which updated itself to add the bundle identifier for iA Writer, who previously added their own support for QuickCursor a while ago. This post is now for those not running the lastest versions, for whatever reason.
iA Writer now supports [...]
One fateful day, Console stopped launching. It appeared to be in connection with one of the 10.8 developer preview releases, but the connection was hazy at best. Being a developer and running said developer preview OS, the console is a really important part of easy log viewing, for professional and for casual uses.

I’ve had this problem with Hamachi for a while: because client management is pretty lacking (in part due to the new management’s desire to up-sell you to paid tiers), people fill their networks with people that have multiple Hamachi installations on different partitions, or separate laptops, etc.

While playing with the Server app for OS X 10.8, I had a lot of trouble with internal exceptions. It seemed to continue to function when you chose to ignore the exception (yikes), but at least it was useable.

Tim Valenta
Amateur at everything, coder, UI designer, musician, and writer. I break things apart and re-program them from scratch to learn exactly which problems people have solved in the past. I write for NaNoWriMo, and I'm nearing the self publication of a short story called Highway.
Python is my passion. Alastair Reynolds writes great science fiction, but has a really ugly website. My Mac is my Linux without all the driver failures. I hate working directly for salesmen. Huge scented candles are surprisingly nice when you work from home all day. I play AP Mid lane for my League of Legends team, but love a good run at Top.
