Aug 30	comment	Is there a QuickLook preview for plain-text files with unknown extensions? @Chap Harrison, that won't matter, pick an app that you would like to open the files in, for example, TextMate or Text Editor.app, and then add these extensions to that info.plist as per the article. Also the 10.5 info.plists haven't changed in this regard, so you're ok with Lion.
Aug 30	comment	Is there a QuickLook preview for plain-text files with unknown extensions? @Chap Harrison, I'm having a look now, but if not the QL Stephen source would be a useful starting point, and since no writing / UI features are needed for QL plugins, they are fairly easy to build. (It'll have to wait until the weekend though ;) )
Aug 30	comment	Is there a QuickLook preview for plain-text files with unknown extensions? @Chap Harrison, I think a QL viewer that can be configured to view a set of file extensions as text (or as Daniel says, a hex dump) would be nice, for sure. I might have a look at doing this.
Aug 30	comment	Is there a QuickLook preview for plain-text files with unknown extensions? Since all unknown file extensions are not necessarily text, this is a bad idea.
Aug 30	comment	OS X Terminal “must have” utilities @Vincent - the whole point of homebrew is that you can fairly easily build your own formula's so the "never see in homebrew" seems to miss the point of it entirely. MacPorts is convenient, since you don't really have to do much, effectively giving you a BSD `port` or Debian `apt-get` style installer.
Aug 30	comment	Using screencapture when remotely logged in to a headless mac via ssh @Samantha, yes, that was the issue, any ideas how I can get the virtual screen (ie, the screen sharing display) to capture, the docs for screencapture are pretty thin.
Aug 29	comment	Using screencapture when remotely logged in to a headless mac via ssh User is logged in, actually I'm ssh'ing in on the same user name, the only possible issue is that there is no screen attached. I'm going to ssh to another box local to it that does have a screen and see if that's the issue.
Aug 29	comment	Using screencapture when remotely logged in to a headless mac via ssh @Ingmar hupp - Sorry, that was a typo in the question, I'm already using `/usr/sbin/screencapture`.
Aug 28	comment	What are some tips or tricks for Terminal in Mac OS X? Note that `Esc, b` and `Esc, f` (back/forward one word) are bound to `Opt-b/f` (when you set the terminal to recognize `Opt` as `Meta`)
Jun 5	comment	What are some great OS X Dropbox uses? thought about version control at all, it would do this all much better. Seems to me you couldn't manage too many sites in this DropBox manner.
Jun 5	comment	What are some great OS X Dropbox uses? then really you should be deploying to a test server, than mucking about with a shonky DropBox solution. - You can just have a script run to do your FTP / SFTP / Rsync or whatever, I don't really understand the "Saves me having to FTP", since you still (I assume) manually throw the files at DropBox.
Jun 5	comment	What are some great OS X Dropbox uses? Why not just share the web deployment folder with Windows? I don't see this as a reason to use DropBox.
Jun 5	comment	What are some great OS X Dropbox uses? If you've got the Transmission web interface running, why not just open the .torrent file there? You can just paste in a .torrent link.
May 12	comment	View PDF in Preview in Full Screen? Cool, nice find.
Apr 10	comment	What are some Textmate alternatives that have the completion key feature? Losing customers is no problem when you have no new products to ship, all updates are free.
Apr 10	comment	What are some Textmate alternatives that have the completion key feature? I should also recommend zsh instead of bash as your default terminal shell, you get M-x style commanding in zsh (and a lot of other nice usability features) - especially when you use oh-my-zsh (consider it a starter kit for zsh)
Mar 15	comment	Changing a file or folder icon using the Terminal I'll give it another go, perhaps I made a mistake before.
Mar 12	comment	Changing a file or folder icon using the Terminal And for a file? Note my comment re: avi files
Mar 10	comment	Is there a way to evaluate OS X without purchasing Macintosh hardware? I'm suggesting something a bit more casual than leasing (read cheaper, since that seems to be Billy's main concern.)
Mar 10	comment	Is there anyway to mount a webpage? Ok, httpfs is not suitable for your task, it will not mount a http directory structure, it will only mount fs style images like ISOs, DMGs etc. What you need really is a script to grab the URLs you want.
