Computer Hints
1. Acid Search from pozytron.com
Add a search channel for PubMed:
- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed&term=
Add a search channel for Wikipedia:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=
2. Add debug menu to Safari:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
3. to make Safari pass PDFs to Preview instead of opening itself:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
(also remove Adobe PDF viewer from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins)
(could also try using Safari Enhancer)
4. To change the __MyCompanyName__ in Xcode (from MacOSXGuru.Net):
Open the ProjectBuilder preferences file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ProjectBuilder.plist) or the Xcode one (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist) and edit the dictionary associated with the key PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions (create one if it does not exist, as child of the root node), edit or add the key ORGANIZATIONNAME, the associated string value will be used when PB creates new source files.
You could also do it via Terminal.app:
- defaults write com.apple.ProjectBuilder PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{ "ORGANIZATIONNAME" = "Behavioral Cybernetics";}'
or
- defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{ "ORGANIZATIONNAME" = "Behavioral Cybernetics";}'

sudo rsync -xrlptgoEv --progress --delete / /Volumes/Backup
