OS X Tip: Character Palette. There was a time when finding those elusive accented Latin characters, symbols, and dingbats required the use of a shareware application. Or for those with plenty of patience, a session of hunting and pecking on the keyboard (lord knows how many times I've typed a string of alphabet keys just to find some stupid character). With the Character Palette built-in to OS X, all that is history. To use the system-wide character palette, open you System Preferences. Then click on International. Then chose the "Input Menu" tab at the far right. In the list of keyboard languages should be an... [What Do I Know] 10:33:09 PM

So many smart people...
Surfing the web can be a humbling experience. (O.K. clean up your thoughts. I don't surf those kinds of web sites).
I use a great news reader called NetNewsWire Lite (for OS X) to catch up on Internet news when I have the time. Every time I browse the headlines, I find interesting stories written by highly intelligent people and I am guaranteed to learn something new.
Usually I am disappointed in my lack ability to contribute something worthwile to this great resource we call the Internet. But once in a while I think of something that I think is really cool and I want to share with someone else.
When those moments come along, I try to contribute something back. Just taking the time to think something through and write it up is reward enough, but occasionally, someone will send an email thanking me for posting something to the web that helped them solve a problem or see something from a different perspective.
And for a moment, I might feel like one of those smart people on the Internet that I am so impressed with. 11:03:16 PM Google It!

What's Up With Google?
I have been searching Google a lot lately looking for some specific information. Early this week I found what I had been searching for-- it was some new information that someone had posted about firewalls and wireless networking. The link to the information had conspicuously appeared near the top of the search results, so it was easy to find.
Yesterday afternoon I needed to reference the info again, so I ran the same search. No dice. The information I was looking for was nowhere to be found. It was as though Google had gone back in time.
I then did a search for the article I had written about installing Linux on a Daystar Genesis-- a quad processor Mac Clone. Last week the article appeared in the Google search results, near the top of a search for "Linux on Daystar". Today, it's gone. It's so far gone you can't even find it if you really work at finding it. Poof. Gone. (If you are looking for the article, you can find it here.)
Did Google go through a major database restore/rework or what? Anyone out there know? Has anyone else even noticed? I'm starting to feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. 9:18:14 AM Google It!

The Joys of SSH. Brent Ashley writes about the joys of ssh. One of my favorite ssh-related things is scp. With one command I can back up my entire website (which lives somewhere in California) to my local hard drive. Easy and secure. [inessential.com] 4:09:53 PM

AppleScript In Mac OS X: A Brave New World. The Mac Observer: “After an hour of Mac OS X, you decided that Mac OS 9 is as outdated as System 7. You’re just about to snuggle in when you realize that something doesn’t feel right. You’re missing your AppleScripts, right? I know the feeling. Don’t despair! Once inside Mac OS X, AppleScript is easy; however, the transition can be a little rocky. That’s why I’m providing you with these instructions on updating your scripts for Mac OS X.” [ranchero.com] 5:30:58 PM

DTML Basics (part 1). DevShed: “One of the nicest things about Zope is its ability to separate an application’s presentation layer from the business logic that drives it. It does this using its very own tag-based markup language, Document Template Markup Language or DTML.” [ranchero.com] 5:30:09 PM
