Can I extract all my Safari bookmarks with a shell script?

December 20, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Linux Shell Script Programming, Mac & MacOS Help / 5 Comments

Alright, this is pretty geeky, but is there a way I can grab all my Mac OS X Safari bookmarks using a shell script so I can manipulate the data? I’ve peeked into the bookmarks file and yow, it’s one hairy data file!

How do I keep my Safari bookmarks in sync?

December 18, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Linux Help, Mac & MacOS Help / 2 Comments

Dave, I have a number of different computers running Mac OS X, and would like to keep my Safari bookmarks in sync. I don’t necessarily need to to have these bookmarks accessible within other Web browsers (though it’d be a bonus if Firefox saw them too) but if I designate one as my master bookmark file, is there any way to have my other Safari browsers stay synchronized?

Can I use my Palm Desktop address book data in shell scripts?

December 17, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Linux Shell Script Programming, Mac & MacOS Help / 1 Comment

Dave, I have a pile of addresses in my Palm Desktop address book on my Mac, but I’d really like to be able to use them from within some shell scripts, particularly to be able to build a quick reference of names and phone numbers. Is that even possible?

How do I configure a LAN printer on Mac OS X?

Dave, I know nothing about Mac print sharing/usage … is there a good way to either use a networked printer, or perhaps use a printer connected to either the Mac or PC?

How do I install Lexar’s JumpDrive Secure on my Mac?

December 3, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Mac & MacOS Help / 2 Comments

I recently bought a very nice device, a 512MB Lexar JumpDrive Secure USB flash drive. Only barely bigger than a pack of gum, it not only lets me carry lots of data in my pocket, it also includes software from Lexar that makes it a breeze to partition the disk to have an encrypted disk that’s portable between Mac and Windows. Except I couldn’t get the application to install on one of my Mac OS X systems, my PowerBook.

What one feature of Apple’s Safari browser do you prefer over Firefox?

December 2, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Mac & MacOS Help / 17 Comments

Dave, I’ve been trying to decide between Safari and Firefox as my default browser on my Mac OS X system, and was wondering which you use and why. In particular, since I’m a blogger like you, I spend a lot of my time entering text in those cheesy little forms, and I really like auto-complete on forms. But both browsers have that capability. So which is your default?

How can I secure / encrypt folders on my Mac’s USB flash drive?

November 28, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Mac & MacOS Help / 11 Comments

Dave, I’ve recently bought a little USB flash drive and am finding it is a great way to transport files between my office and home. And it’s tiny! However, my only concern is that if I lose it, someone else can easily get access to all of my stuff by plugging it into their own computer. What can I do to minimize this? Encrypt or secure the data? Or…?

Can yaboot support three OS choices for Linuxes and Mac OS X?

November 17, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Linux Help, Mac & MacOS Help / 1 Comment

If you’ve been reading my entries, you already know that I’ve been working on installing different Linuxes on my Mac OS X PowerBook system, with success. All works well until you actually have more than one Linux installed on the system, creating a tri-boot, rather than dual-boot Apple computer. The problem is that, by default, each Linux installs its own version of yaboot which only knows about Mac OS X or itself. So I needed to figure out how to significantly modify the yaboot configuration file to support both Ubuntu and Yellow Dog Linux simultaneously.
