google and dilbert enhanced addon

Published by foxfair under Computer, Mac & Apple, Show me the MONEY

從昨天下午開始把公司的 MBP 換上 Leopard, 順便把 Application 都重裝，以前常用的 Greasemonkey+Google Dilbert Comics script 現在有人寫了改良版，連結在這邊，有裝 Greasemonkey 的朋友可以試用看看，OSX 10.5(Leopard) 其實跑起來沒有想像中的慢，同事們還為了升級，還特別去買 RAM 回來加，但是我的 1G RAM 目前也跑的好好的，可能是因為系統剛剛裝完不久，效能沒有被太多東西拖垮吧！

3G NP, and Mac

Published by foxfair under Computer, Mac & Apple

過年前將我的門號從遠傳 NP 到中華電信，因為過年的關係所以一直拖到明天才會生效。其實主要的目的是為了 3G，還有遠傳的網站設計跟收訊讓我一直覺得很倒彈，所以才想乾脆換一家電信業者，前兩天特地跑去中華電信的門市選購了 Nokia 6151, 拿回公司後就很興奮的開啟 Bluetooth, 哇!! 我的 Macbook Pro 可以很順利的找到 6151 的 BlueTooth device 耶，順利的第一步。接下來要作的就是去 Google 找 iSync plugin for Nokia 6151，這部分也很順利，在安裝完 plugin 以後果然就在 iSync 裡面出現手機了，看來以後要 sync 通訊錄、iCal 等也不是太大問題，現在就等著過 12 點來測試 3G 播號上網的部分囉！

整型春秋第三季今天是最後一集了，一直斷斷續續在看這部影集，其實劇情跟內容都蠻吸引我的，但是今天的結局有點太過簡單，可能是最後一集趕著收尾的一點點遺憾吧！這篇文章基本上是利用廣告時間衝到電腦前面打完的，所以如果語意上有不通順的奇怪之處還請見諒。

Start TFTP service in OSX

Published by foxfair under Blog everywhere, Mac & Apple

I wanted to start the tftp service today and got this from random search in Google. There are two methods I know how to start TFTP in OSX:

  • Traditional way(the old school way): Modify /etc/inetd.conf; remove the “#” in front of tftp line. Restart xinetd process. This is the same way we do in any UNIX system.
  • Modern way: OSX actually uses a launchd program to control which service it should load, go check the path below: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
    and modify tftp.plist file, it is a config file with XML format. I provide my diff if you know how to read this: --- /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist.orig 2007-02-08 20:54:33.000000000 +0800 +++ /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist 2007-02-08 21:01:09.000000000 +0800 @@ -4,21 +4,19 @@ Disabled + InitGroups + Label com.apple.tftpd ProgramArguments /usr/libexec/tftpd - -i + -u + root + -s /private/tftpboot + -l - inetdCompatibility - - Wait - - - InitGroups - Sockets Listeners @@ -29,5 +27,10 @@ dgram + inetdCompatibility + + Wait + + save tftp.plist after you edit it, then type this command to start TFTP service: sudo service tftp start You can change the tftproot directory to anywhere you want to place your file, default is /private/tftproot. Any file in tftproot should be writable publicly (like the command: chmod 777 *), or you will get an error when you try to access it. Check this link to explain the modification if you cannot see my diff.
