Dockless hides apps from the dock

Carl-Fredrik — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 19:23:50 +0000

I’ve been using a small app called dockless. Dockless hides the icon from the dock…that’s all. But it does it great and it’s free.

Dockless is a little app that does what some people have always wanted – remove certain applications from their dock. Dock real estate can become precious, and some apps don’t make a whole lot of sense sitting there. That’s where Dockless comes in. With Dockless, any OS X application can be made to show in the Dock or not.

DavMail is a Exchange to IMAP CalDav proxy

Carl-Fredrik — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:47:16 +0000

Snow Leopard and Mac OS X Lion both have built in support for Exchange 2007 and 2010.

But what do you do if your company is running Exchange 2003 or if you want to run IMAP (And your company only permits a “Outlook Anyware”-type setup, IMAP over HTTPS).

Well you can either stick to running the Outlook Web Access, which in Exchange 2010 is kind of nice, or you can install a program called DavMail. DavMail acts as a proxy between your computer and the corporate Exchange server.

Some really nice features in DavMail:

It’s cross-platform. You can run it on your Mac, Windows och Linux machine.
You can run it on a server or locally on your client-computer.

How to install Huawei e173 on Mac OS Lion

Carl-Fredrik — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:01:07 +0000

I live in Sweden and bought a Huawei e173 from the Swedish operator Telia. The only problem is that the 3G modem came with drivers and software for Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).

To start off, I installed the modem on a windows machine and disabled the PIN-code on the simcard. I personally get quite annoyed when I have to enter a PIN-code everyone I connect a 3G modem..

Next, I downloaded the drivers on my own from mobinil.com, installed them and configured the modem with the following settings:

Dial: *99#

Vendor:Generic

Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)

APN: online.telia.se

Note that the APN is different on every carrier. Just Google it…

I just remapped the Caps Lock key since I’m not using it!

In my case I want it to open nvALT for really fast note-taking.

Certificate Patrol add-on for Firefox

Carl-Fredrik — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 17:15:43 +0000

Great plugin for Firefox!

Your browser trusts many certification authorities and intermediate sub-authorities quietly, every time you enter an HTTPS web site. This add-on reveals when certificates are updated, so you can ensure it was a legitimate change.

Enforce HTTPS with a .htaccess file

Carl-Fredrik — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:44:16 +0000

Start by enabling mod_rewrite then create an .htaccess file in the directory that you want to force HTTPS.

The content of the .htaccess-file:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} somefolder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/somefolder/$1 [R,L]

Now if you go to http://www.domain.com/somefolder you will be redirected to https://www.domain.com/somefolder.

How to force TotalTerminal to always display on top of the dock

Carl-Fredrik — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:02:10 +0000

I have been using TotalTerminal for a while now. But since the latest 1.1.1 the visor is displayed under the dock. (I have my dock on the left side of my screen) This is both annoying and renders the TotalTerminal useless.

This is all due to a bug fix in 1.1.1. There is a way to fix this issue.

Open a new terminal.app window and enter the following line:

defaults write com.apple.Terminal TotalTerminalVisorWindowOnHighLevel -bool YES

Restart Terminal.app with TotalTerminal.

The TotalTerminal visor is now shown on top of the dock.
