Some geekery

• Want to have your web browser display a different home page based on which network location you're at? All it takes is a little PHP monkeying.

• It's about time: Someone has created an application for OS X that allows you to dynamically repartition volumes without erasing the data. Now if only they could make it combine two partitions on separate drives into a RAID.

• This handy command-line tool will display a wealth of HFS information about the files on your drive, including BSD information, Finder information, Resource/Data fork information, and an analysis of how fragmented a file is.

• That tool will provide insight into whether you should try moving your swapfile to a different volume, or freeing space on your startup volume, to prevent fragmentation of your swapfile. Of the two, I recommend freeing up local space.

P.S.: Here, have some drive and folder icons.

I learn so much from you. Thanks very much for all of this valuable knowledge.

You have got to be being sarcastic in that post :) My entries are all too random for anyone to learn anything.

I'm not kidding! It's the randomness I enjoy. I'm a generalist (dilettante?) and really like this sort of thing. Silly! Just accept my gratitude, okay? Sheesh.
