I’ve been discussing the key tasks that a Mac OS X user has to run to ensure that their system stays healthy and in tip-top shape, and one set that we’ve all agreed upon are the daily, weekly and monthly cron jobs. You can figure out when they’re run with a simple grep command.

“Hey Dave! I’m trying to explore tons of web sites to see how they’re built and keep bumping into restrictions because my folks installed a “nannyfilter” on my computer. Is there some way to get around it so I can make my own decision of what sites to visit?”

“Help! I cannot view source code. I select it from the menu, but nothing comes up. Further, I cannot save pictures in their original format. I right click to do “save picture as” and it only provides me with a .bmp extension. What’s going on?”

Can I place a Microsoft Word doc on my website for download? It works when I
test it on my hard drive; but doesn’t work once I FTP it to the website.
if your browser shows the little icons next to URLs – in which case you should see a lightbulb next to the booktalk URL right now – then you might be asking yourself how you build these favicon.ico graphics and incorporate them into your own Web site.

“At the end of TYU24, you mention MKS as a Windows-based shell. I checked their website as an avenue of learning Unix/Linux without resorting to dual-boots, or multiple systems (I’m a little short on space to accomidate another tower, and short on cash to build a new micro). While they do offer evaluation versions, and educational discounts, they are still a little steep on the price range. Is there another package that may
follow GPL (GNU Public License) or maybe a more cost effective package for
home use?”
