When installing Linux I always create a separate partition for my home folder. The main reason for this is that a reinstall of the operating system does not necessarily have to affect my home folder. On Linux this is a very simple task done during the installation process, but Os [...]

Ever felt a bit tired of the same old Leopard desktop? Yesterday I started to fool around to see what possibilities Apple has left “open” to the users to change with out too much hastle. The result of this research is that it is not much, but a few tweeks [...]

To stay in touch with all your contacts you often install many different kinds of IM-applications. In a worst case scenario you could end up with one application for each of these services: MSN, Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Skype and maybe a few more, but [...]
In my first attempt I made an installer with a libsamplerate library that had some issues with OS X 10.5. The new build is tested on both 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 and should work on all Intel Macs running OS X 10.5 or newer. The installer can be downloaded from the [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve done anything useful with Python, but just the other day I felt a sudden urge to pick it up again. I needed to get my old development environment with PyQt4 and Pydev up and running. I downloaded the latest version of Sip and PyQt [...]
