Saldomat - Onlinebanking für jeden Tag

DAS ist mal ein Online-Banking-Programm wie man es sich auf dem Mac vorstellt: Es bindet sich in die Menüleiste ein, zeigt dort auf Wunsch direkt den Kontostand, holt die neuesten Buchungen automatisch, warnt bei Unterschreitung eines bestimmten Pegels, führt automatisch Aktionen per AppleScript aus und macht die Buchungen per RSS lesbar. GEKAUFT!

"Haben Sie Ihr Konto immer im Blick? Ist Ihnen ein Online-Bankingprogramm auch zu umständlich, dass Sie es viel zu selten benutzen? Würden Sie gerne Buchungen auf Ihrem Konto genauso einfach und schnell sehen wie neue Emails im Emailprogramm?

Dann könnte der Saldomat genau das Richtige für Sie sein. Wir wollten ein Bankprogramm, das man jeden Tag benutzt und dass es einem so einfach wie möglich macht, Konten im Blick zu behalten. Mit Saldomat ist dies nun endlich Wirklichkeit. Sehen Sie selbst!"

macosxhints.com - 10.5: Set up Time Machine on a NAS in three easy steps

"Here's a three-step process to create a Time Machine backup on a network-attached storage (NAS) unit.

1. Create a sparsebundle image on your local system. I'm not sure of the reason why, but I haven't been able to kick Time Machine off just by specifying a network share. It "prepares" for a while, then says it was unable to create the disk image. The solution appears to be to create a sparsebundle image locally. Thankfully, you don't need multiple Macs like another post suggested; you can accomplish this using hdiutil like so:

hdiutil create -library SPUD -size $SIZESPEC -fs Journaled HFS+ -type SPARSEBUNDLE -volname $MACHINENAME_$MAC_ADDRESS.sparsebundle

Where $SIZESPEC is the size of the backup volume, and $MACHINENAME_$MAC_ADRESS is your Mac's name followed by an underscore and then your Mac's MAC Address (otherwise known as its Ethernet ID; visible in the Network System Preferences panel), but without the colons. So if your Mac is named MyMac, and the Network System Preferences panel lists your Ethernet ID as 00:18:b3:11:84:dd, then you would use MyMac_0018b31184dd for the name of the sparsebundle.

The -size parameter can probably be as large as you want, now that Apple has evidently fixed the sparsebundle issues that were causing all but the most recent backup to be dumped. However, you can also specify a smaller size if you (like me) want to create a hard limit for the amount of space your Time Machine backups will take on your network drive. hdiutil does have a -resize option if you need to utilize that later.

2. Create and set permissions on your network share. Just make sure you have read/write permissions set on whichever SMB/AFP share you're going to dump this to.

3. Copy the sparsebundle to the network share root. Easy enough. Mount your network share and copy it over. I used this Terminal command after the MyBackup share was mounted: cp -r mymachine_0017f2c8426b.sparsebundle /Volumes/MyBackup/.

By this point, you should be good to go! Make sure you have read/write permissions on the network share, and that you've run the infamous defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1. Now just change your Time Machine disk to that network share, and you're off!

Web Developer command line tricks

" Below is a list of command line tricks I've found to be very useful in web development that a surprising number of web developers don't know about.

1. ln -s /some/destination name_of_link

This is pretty straightforward: it'll create a symbolic link from name_of_link to /some/destination. If I'm sitting in /www/matthew/ and I entered the above command, a new file will be created inside that directory that moves the user to /some/destination if they CD to name_of_link. (It's a shortcut, basically).

If I'm working on a web server where the docroot is buried deep in a directory structure, I'll often create a symbolic link in something like /www to save myself a few keystrokes when accessing it.

Also, apache won't follow symbolic links unless you tell it to do so using the following directive: Options +FollowSymLinks

2. tail -f /some/file

This tails a file: it'll read what's at the end and output it to your terminal. The -f parameter tells it to keep outputting as the file grows. I use this a lot when examining log files that are constantly being written to.

3. ctrl+z and bg

ctrl+z is the long lost brother of ctrl+c. It's a signal that tells the process to suspend execution, while ctrl+c terminates it. Ctrl+z is useful if you execute a process but you want to get control of your shell; it'll suspend the process and send it to the background. Think of ctrl+z like minimizing a window, except once it's minimized it's not doing anything anymore. If you want the process to stay in the background but continue running, that's where bg (background) comes in: typing bg once a process has been suspended makes the process resume but still keeps it in the background.

I often combine ctrl+z and bg with tail:

shell> perl -e 'while() { print "."; sleep(1); }' > bunch_of_dots.log

[hit ctrl+z, execution is suspended]

shell> bg [process is now in the background and running]

shell>tail -f bunch_of_dots.log [show me the printed dots]

4. fg and jobs

fg is used if you background a process but want to bring it to the foreground. If you have multiple processes in the background, type 'jobs' into your terminal to see them all. This will display a list of processes that are in the background with each process assigned a number (Note: these are not the same as pids). Typing fg [some number] will resume the process you sent to the background where [some number] matches the number reported by 'jobs.'

A good example of using fg is if you're working with an interactive program, such as the mysql command line, but you want to drop back to the shell.

mysql>SELECT foo FROM bar;

mysql> [hit ctrl+z]

[1]+ Stopped

shell>pwd /home/matt/stuff

shell>jobs

[1]+ Stopped mysql -u matt -p matts_db

shell>fg 1

mysql>[hooray, we're back in the mysql command line]

You can omit the job number when running 'fg,' it'll just foreground the first process you sent to the background. So if you only have one process in the background you can just type 'fg' without any extra numbers.

5. Hit the freakin tab key!

Assuming your shell is configured properly, hitting tab will auto-complete with whatever it thinks you need. I've encountered a surprising number of developers who don't know about this and move around servers at glacial speeds. If you aren't familiar with the tab auto-complete, get to a terminal right now and type cd [tap the tab key], you should see a list of available files or commands.

6. scp

This securely copies a file across a network using SSH for data transfer. For example:

scp [email protected]:~/secret_stuff /some/destination

This would connect via SSH to example.com as the user 'matt' and copy the file 'secure_stuff' from my home directory on example.com to /some/destination on the machine I'm currently on. It's saved me a ton of time when transferring sensitive files from one machine to another.

VMware under Linux on the Intel-based Macintosh

"We now have Windows XP running on the Intel-based Macintosh -- as a guest operating system under the Linux version of VMware. This is quite exciting and promising, especially since the performance of Windows XP seems quite amazing (based on our limited test run so far) -- mind you, the kernel and the environment we are using experimental and unoptimized, so it would not be unreasonable to expect even better performance.
To anybody who has used Windows XP under Virtual PC on the PowerPC version of Mac OS X: you will simply be blown away by how fast Windows XP runs under VMware on the new hardware. " - Es tut: Windows XP unter VMWare unter Linux auf dem Intel iMac!
