Monday - October 16, 2006ScreenshotsUsing Grab and default OS X settings can be slow
when trying to construct a series of jpeg screenshots of portions of the screen
associated with a tutorial article, but there are better ways to get this done
without buying yet another little shareware utility...
Monday - September 18, 2006VNC over ssh on OS X Tiger ServerApple Remote Desktop 3 includes secure encrypted
sessions for remote access. However, I use the free alternative - VNC over ssh
tunnel. Here is how to get up and running.
Wednesday - April 05, 2006Upgrade 10.3.9 to 10.4.5I recently took advantage of my Apple Select
membership hardware discount and purchased a 2.16GHz, 2GB, 100GB-7200rpm Intel
Core Duo MacBook Pro. So, here are the abbreviated notes of what was involved in
moving to that new machine from a Powerbook 1.67GHz running OS X
10.3.9
Here are my "quick and dirty" notes on the upgrade process........ Monday - March 27, 2006Using Bonjour hostnames instead of IP addressesOS X Panther and Tiger come with built-in
multicast dns host name
resolving.
...In Panther client, I could just use ssh admin@xmysql and it worked, however in Panther server and Tiger client/server I have to correctly use ssh admin@xmysql.local to resolve the host name. For WO https development, you can use your dev machine name as the host name for the ssl certificate. ...Bonjour is available as a download from Apple (just google "Bonjour for Windows" to find it) so that your Windows PC's can easily access your mac services and in particular your development WO app on your dev machine using mymac.local as the host. Monday - February 27, 2006Updating from 10.3.7 to 10.3.9OK, we updated XServes to 10.3.9 from 10.3.7
using the following procedure and had no
problems.
First updated MySQL Server XServe to 10.3.9 and MySQL 4.0.26- Standard for Darwin 7.9 - no issues there. Next Web App XServes were updated from 10.3.7 to 10.3.9 using the following procedure and no issues. Monday - April 18, 2005Mac OS 10.3.9 UpdateSeemingly the 10.3.9 update broke a lot of java
installations. My advice to those planning an upgrade is to ensure you already
have the latest java version and updates on your system AND reboot your machine,
then run the update. Then read on for the quality check and fix from Apple if
your java installation broke during the update...
