3G-Modding your eee 1000he hackintosh

As some of you may know I’ve been using snow leopard on my eee 1000he for quite a while(You can still get the modded DSDT I use on my system from my github page)

awesome with gentoo-prefix

I just updated a whole bunch of ebuilds for gentoo-prefix you can find the overlay here.

Just clone it and put it somewhere in your $EPREFIX/usr/local/portage then add that folder to your make.conf

gentoo osx

Update: I also forgot to run the emerge -u world after the bootstrap. So you might want to do that yourself.

open urxvt here and open in vim applescript

Update: noticed a little bug in the script, the right way to do it should be this:

cutehg in OSX

UPDATE: murky native osx mercurial client is out

sed -i '' -e 's/port:tk//' /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/lang/python26/Portfile

sudo port install python26
sudo port install py26-sip

Pyqt4 seemed to have problems with qt4.5 so I installed it with the QT available from the Trolltech website.

Organizing Entourage in Threads

UPDATE: it’s a lot easier in outlook 2003 since group by conversation actually works as advertised

A prettier Terminal in OS-X Part 3 (urxvt and screen)

I was a bit annoyed of having to set TERM=xterm-256color. A more or less proper solution can be found on the rxvt-unicode ml from John Eikenberry.

A prettier Terminal in OS-X Part 1 (awesome is awesome!)

o I recently switched over to awesomewm on my desktop because either the desktop wm’s suck(kde,gnome) or fluxbox,fvwm weren’t quite what I needed.

So I went looking for a good terminal that supports 256 colors. There’s mrxvt and whatnot, but again the Probleme with these is that either utf-8 is missing or they’re in some other way ugly, dependency wise or whatever.

New Skype themes in OSX

So yesterday skype released a new version of Skype for Mac. You con get it here.

Collab.net Subversion 1.5 OSX Problems

So I started using Versions a while ago… When I saw there’s people having problems with the 1.5 cli tools from Collab.net I was sceptical. But being unable to keep myself from upgrading I tried it anyway.
