Christian Ashby (Personal): Stolen goods

http://www.cashby.me.uk/2010/03/stolen-goods.html

Sunday, March 07, 2010. Hrm, I seem to only blog here when I get stuff stolen. I may change this sometime and blog interesting stuff, but still. My car was broken into last night in Harpenden - St Nicolas Avenue - apparently the 2nd incidence of this in a week. Just my TomTom in the glove box (I have a bracket screwed to the dash so it's obvious I guess) and my ipod (it's fairly old so I don't hide it) were taken. Ipod 4th Generation Classic 60 Gb. Serial number = 8M74658BY5N. Purchase date 1 Jan 2008.

Sunday, March 01, 2009. Apple OS X DVD Drive region change failing? OK, so I agonised over this lots, so thought I ought to share it. If you have changed region the 4 times allowed on your mac, and try to change for the last time on a European disc, then the chances are, you'll get a 'Error -700001'. This is annoying, and worrying. There is a simple reason. If the disc you're using is Region 2 4 then this will happen. If it's just region 2, then you'll be fine. Links to this post. The New Thought Fox.

Christian Ashby (Personal): April 2009

http://www.cashby.me.uk/2009_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. I frequently use different size external monitors and sometimes (quite often) my iTunes window ends up the wrong size such that I can't drag the bottom-right handle. I was about to write myself an AppleScript to resize the window to a fixed (small) size when I found this. Post, which answered the problem:. OPTION-CLICK on the green resize button. Done.

Christian Ashby (Personal): June 2008

http://www.cashby.me.uk/2008_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 26, 2008. So I was on my morning constitutional this morning in my en-suite in shiny new house in Royston, when I heard a noise. Opened the window and looked out to see a guy trying to break into the kitchen window with my garden shears, which he'd taken from the box in the garden. They have a suspect who was caught in Hitchin with a similar MO, so we'll see - it'll take at least a few weeks to get the evidence together. Blogged with the Flock Browser. Links to this post.

Monday, January 30, 2012. Useful remote Mac OSX commands. I know I haven't blogged in a while, but here's something I've been doing recently, using Mac machines remotely, and here's some really handy commands to help with that:.
