I have much joy of the small program called precipitate which allows you to search for and launch different information you have stored in the google cloud from within spotlight. It currently supports the following services:

Why is it not possible to delete a single item from the trash in Mac OSX? I use my trash as a safety bin, where I always can find stuff I should not have deleted. But when the trash exceeds a certain amount of GB, I would like to clean it up and delete some of the big files…
After having spent a few hours trying to get an image uploading script to work in php on my mac, I found out that the GD Library is not pre-installed with PHP. Why is that? I thought that the GD lib was a standard module and I know it is installed in the XAMPP package for windows. I have not installed the lib yet, but I found this page which explains a how-to, but by looking at the comments it seems that it is not as simple as it should be. People are really having dififculties getting it to work. I will try to install it when I have some more time and post my result here.
I found several funny features in Leopard when using multiple screens. This is how my setup looks like
Now when using spaces you get 8 screens to choose from. This is how the screen looks when tabbing F8.
It is possible to drag a window to all 8 screens. I am usually not allowed to drag a window from the mac screen up on the samsung screen if the window can’t fit in the samsung screen (samsung screen only has resolution of 1152 x 870). But there is not problem dragging windows in spaces.
By holding down shift while dragging a window, the window will be placed at same position just in the new space.
The other funny thing is when taking a screenshot it will take two pictures – one of each screen. Maybe this is standard for all os’s but it is a nice feature.
