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 [...]
I had to write this up, because the resource I found online virtually told you to delete and reinstall everything. Right. Nope.
To reset a theme’s position, browse to ~/Library/Application Support/Bowtie/ and open the file called TDStore.plist. This is just an XML file, and it’ll try to open with XCode if you have it installed. [...]
I want to love iTunes Match, for what it represents as a step forward in cloud storage, an opaque layer of portability that my devices know how to use; a beautiful step away from the horrible horrible idea of pushing a giant SYNC button that rapes and pillages all previous content on the device.

For whatever reason, Chrome has begun forgetting each and every site cookie. I never clear my browsing history, and I never mass-nuke cookies.

About.me
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.
