Two packages, sir

June 30th, 2006 · No Comments

Yesterday I was given the task to check out the security arrangements of an ongoing project, it’s been in progress at two years that I know of, possibly longer. It involves two of the largest firms in the UK and would have an impact on everyone in the UK of working age. Yes, really. I [...]

How to redirect a web page

June 30th, 2006 · No Comments

I’ve been using the cheap ass HTML redirect way for my ‘Top 100 OS X Apps’ for ages now, I really need to get with the right way of doing the redirect - the 301.
The best way to redirect those pages is by using something called a “301 Redirect”. What this 301 redirect does, is [...]

If it sounds as good and it’s interesting I’ll repost this over on www.coffeecritters.org. Now if only they had an iTunes subscription link, I’ll never remember [...]

Convert Apple Mail’s emlx files back to the universal mbox format

June 30th, 2006 · No Comments

Did you know that since Tiger your OS X email has been converted to a new format? This new format is currently only readable from OS X.
