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.

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.

How-To: Make Interarchy 9 more like Interarchy 8

When Nolobe released Interarchy 9 I screamed at the features that had been removed that I used daily without even thinking about it. Luckily 9.0.1 restores most of these features, although you have to get the settings right.

How-To: Finding the Character Map in Mac

I wanted to find a character to paste into some text, I looked in Utilities and Applications but to no avail. After some hunting around and speaking with colleagues it seems there is one built into Mac but it's hidden far away...

File Renamer

ETW pointed out to me a cool perl script File Renamer which tidies up directories of TV episodes, and it will fetch the episode titles from EpGuides.com or TV.com.

Mac OS X - Startup Sound be gone!

A collegue showed me this handy little pref pane for OS X earlier.. When you turn on a Mac it makes a loud, trademark "Dung" noise; this prefPane allows you to set the volume of the startup sound and even to mute it. No longer will I have to remember to mute my computer before I turn it off. :o)

Frets On Fire

dotwaffle showed me this game last night and it's brilliant. I can't seem to move both of my hands in the right patterns to go much beyond the easy settings but still great fun. It's a bit like guitar hero for the PS2, though you use your keyboard rather than a custom guitar.

Their website says:

Frets on Fire is a game of musical skill and fast fingers. The aim of the game is to play guitar with the keyboard as accurately as possible.

Have a look: Frets On Fire

You can also download more frets from Keyboards On Fire (the link is on the left of the Frets On Fire homepage).
