How-to: Get a # on MacBook with Kubuntu / KDE 4

I recently decided to give Kubuntu with KDE 4 a try on my MacBook, the installation was painless and aside from a few patchy bits (to be expected from beta software) it's running great. I was trying to fix a few bugs on the website and couldn't figure out how to access the # sign, normally alt+3 in OS X. Thankfully D_Ed came to my rescue...

Let Google Growl!

I've been using the Google Notifier for quite a while now and it works great except for one small gripe - the notifications don't use Growl. I've now found a plug-in called Google+Growl that adds Growl support. It works along side the Google Notifier and allows you to configure how you want your notifications to display.

SFTP in Mac OS

When Interarchy updated to version 9 and some of the features I relied on stopped working I went in search of a new SFTP client. I've finally got around to writing up my findings. As you can see, the only client that I liked was still Interarchy so I ended up using the old 8.5.4 build. Luckily, Interarchy have since fixed things and I'm now once again happy with the way it works.

Browser Navigation

Why don't more websites take advantage of the rel attribute for their relative links? Perhaps because there's not enough browser support?

How-To: Get your Growl back from Logitech

For the past few days, since running some updates on my MacBooks, Growl's not been showing any messages. I've since found out that it was Logitech Control Center blocking the messages. The solution is quite simple, delete /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader then log out and everything should be fine. Thanks Zamboni.

Note (9 June): Growl 1.3.0 has a work around to combat this problem.

Image Replacement + Google

Dave Shea asked Google the all important question "what does Google think of CSS image replacement, anyway?" to which they answered "Google's okay with it, you won't be penalized for using image replacement properly."
