This is the (true) story of how Graphing Calculator 1.0 made it into MacOS.

Because I just know I’m going to need this again in the future:

In /etc/auto.master:

/misc /etc/auto.misc –timeout=60

In /etc/auto.misc:

drive -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/etc/auto.smbcredentials ://host/share

In /etc/auto.smbcredentials:

username=username
password=xxxxxxxxx

Then…

# service autofs restart

and cding to /misc/drive should automount \host\share.

Google quietly launched a new service the other day: Google Suggest. It does find-as-you-type search suggestions, similar to the way iTunes lets you search your music collection.

However, guess what just typing the letter “p” brings up…

from the back of your big brown eyes
i knew you’d be gone as soon as you could
and i hoped you would
we could see that you weren’t yourself
and the lines on your face did tell
it’s just as well
you’d never be yourself again

saw you last night
dance by the light of the moon
stars in your eyes
free from the life that you knew

you’re the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
you’re the breath that blows these cool winds around
trading places with an angel now

saw you last night
dance by the light of the moon
stars in your eyes
free from the life that you knew

saw you last night
stars in your eyes
smiled in my room

I don’t normally plug other people’s blogs, but really, this post is just so fantastic that I had to share.
