Dynamips, Dynagen, GNS3 0.7, IOS15.0 and Snow Leopard OSX

It works.

Using Choosy for OSX. A Better Way to Use Multiple Browsers.

I use mul­tiple web browsers all day. One for typ­ical web, and another for net­work man­age­ment. I need a way to eas­ily select which one I want.

OSX: Changing Hibernation Mode — UPDATED

OSX has a fea­ture that enables three dif­fer­ent modes of hiberna­tion. If you hibern­ate often, you should con­sider chan­ging the default.

Monolingual and Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server

Notes on using Monolingual on Snow Leopard Server

Switching Network Locations From the Menu Bar

You have now con­figured and applied the Network Profile. You can eas­ily switch between the Locations by open System Preferences, Network, and using the Location menu which is just a bit too manual for me.

Configuring Network Locations in Mac OSX.

When you are work­ing in a lab envir­on­ment, you often need to con­nect your laptop to dif­fer­ent net­works so that you can test stuff. For simple change like an IP address or a default gate­way a script is use­ful. But you may want to have a much more soph­ist­ic­ated pro­file, such as dif­fer­ent proxy serv­ers and mul­tiple eth­er­net ports. And if you are work­ing on dif­fer­ent sites, each one with dif­fer­ent IP address­ing and DNS details, and maybe even dif­fer­ent proxy set­tings or 802.1x. Mac OSX has a way for con­fig­ur­ing mul­tiple pro­files for your Ethernet con­nec­tion ( or Airport wireless).

Monolingual, OSX Leopard and Snow Leopard — Saving Space

I use Monolingual to save space on the MAC OSX. Quick word on how much space you can save and how to do it.

OSX: Snow Leopard and TFTP Server-​​ing

If you use TFTPServer on your MAC (and just about every­one does), the developer says a new ver­sion is com­ing soon.

OS X:Terminal Break for Serial Console on OS X

A quick note on how to issue a ter­minal break char­ac­ter when using screen on OS-​​X.

Tip:ASDM Works on OSX

A work­mate expressed sur­prise when he saw ASDM work­ing nat­ively on my MAC today. Which made me think, maybe you didn’t know either. And I took a photo to prove it.

Nerdgasm:SRS WOW for iTunes — Magic

If you listen to music on your com­puter (not iPod) then this tool is a must have.

OS X:Using Web Kit for HTTP, Website Analysis and Network Testing

Safari (or Webkit) has a neat debug­ging fea­ture built in. It is avail­able in both OS X and Windows ver­sions. When test­ing per­form­ance of web­sites through applic­a­tion inspec­tion on fire­walls or load bal­an­cer it can be a use­ful tool to get visibility.

OSX: Text Editing

I don’t do “word pro­cessing”, I write. I have dif­fer­ent tools for writ­ing depend­ing on the task. Here is a review of OS X text edit­ors that I use and would recommend.

OSX: Eject Key Joyfulness

When shut­ting down your MAC using func­tion and the eject but­ton is the fast­est way to get things done.

OSX:Punditry — Four Options From Apple in September — Unexpected!

I am hold­ing on to some cash, wait­ing for Apple to make their September udpates. Here are my pre­dic­tions for what they will release, and why.

OSX: Tools — Webkit as Web Browser

My pre­ferred browser on OS X is to use Web Kit. Lets have a quick over­view and some logic.

OS X:Why It “Looks” So Different.

When you first eye­ball OS X, I mean, really, actu­ally look at it and use it for a bit, you real­ise that it looks dif­fer­ent. During some read­ing, I found out why.

Upgraded to 320GB HDD in My MacBook Pro

I just upgraded the disk drive in my Mac Book to 320 GB (from 160Gb) and it could not have been easier.
I can’t believe how simple this was using Mac OS X. No restore or data migra­tion, just a simple backup and then install the drive. Boot and back in business.…..
