Take a screenshot! Don’t break your head exporting to PNG within Apple iWork ‘08 Numbers! Shift-Cmd-4 is your friend! Something that bothered me lots: importing a CSV separated by tabs (\t): doesn’t work. Ok, it should be ‘Comma’, and I even didn’t bother trying that, but having a simple, good working CSV importer would help lots. (Or is there any?) Still like it though.

The past week I have been expanding my C++ knowledge making callbacks using function pointers.. Last month I’ve put a Django webshop live. Setting up MySQL Cluster with replication and all the jingles and bells: no issue for me. Postfix installations with spam filtering, bah, peanuts.. wxPython GUI hacking my favorite hobby. But opening the door at the bar, I needed two women explaining me in Finnish how to do it….

This is more a follow-up on my previous post about auto-mounting (encrypted) disk images in MacOSX. I hear that some folks have problems with the Search functionality inside Mail.app. I’m doing it a bit differently: not moving everything from Mail.app to the encrypted disk image. So here is how I do it. Make sure you backup your email, especially if you are still using POP3 (you really should use IMAP if you can)

I had looked a bit around on how to mount an encrypted disk image (on which I store my email) on MacOSX. The reason is because of laptops are easily stolen, and we have to make sure that cached email can’t be accessed by criminals. Most solutions where about scripts, complicating things. My colleague Johan came up with the solution today. It’s just.. ridiculously easy! Mount your disk image and see it appear on your deskto Open System Preferences > Accounts > Login Item Drag and drop the mounted disk image from your desktop in the login items lis That’s it!

It makes me sad that not more was done to promote this, and I sure didn’t do enough either. Well, I did email the Belgian user group members. http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/events/emea-conference-2007/ London, Tuesday, October 16th 200 Munich, Thursday, October 18th 200 Paris, Tuesday, October 23rd 2007I can’t attend all of them, but I’ll try to go to Paris. Tell your friends! Let us show there are people in Europe interested in these!
