Stuff that doesn't work with Snow Leopard (yet)
I've finally found some programs that don't work properly with Snow Leopard. I'm sure these issues will be fixed before the final release in September, but it does show that some very big changes were made to the underlying architecture in 10.6 that will likely cause some problems once it goes out. more...
Mac: Add additional "Recent Items" stacks to the Dock
By default you only get one, and you can select Recent Applications, Recent Documents, Recent Servers, Favorite Volumes or Favorite Items. Leopard forces you to pick one. Well, I wanted more than one, so I ran the following command in Terminal:
1 2 | defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }' killall Dock |
And a new Recent Items stack appears. Just right click and set it to whatever you want it to be. To delete it, just drag it off the dock.
Mac OS X + Bonjour + Apache = Developer Bliss
I always forget about Bonjour. It's one of those neat little Apple technologies that would really make the world a better place if more systems supported it.
What is it?
In a nutshell, Bonjour lets your computer see all available services on all other computers in your local network. This information doesn't go out on the internet (although there is a thing called Wide Area Bonjour which I haven't looked into much yet).

Clearing the Mail.App "Recently Sent" address list on Mac OS X Leopard
Over the past few months, several of my friends have changed their email addresses. Even though I updated the address in my Address Book, the old address still shows up when I try to write an email -- autocomplete pulls up the old address. So how the hell do I delete those old addresses?
This is one of those stupid little annoyances that I've been trying to find an answer to.. and like most Apple things, the solution is glaringly obvious. more...
