If after doing yum install you get the error: no package ... is available while you’re absolutely sure that the package you want to install is available in connected repositories, chances are that it is excluded in /etc/yum.conf.
My error was no package ftp is available. This happened because DirectAdmin excluded everything *ftp* presumably to avoid conflicts with the FTP daemon it takes care of, and ftp, the standard unix FTP client, hadn’t been initially installed on the server.
In Illustrator, if you need to crop the canvas (page) just like the “Trim” function in Photoshop would do, use Object > Artboards > Fit to Artwork Bounds.
Recently I installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 onto my Windows 7 x64, and it replaced the built-in Windows firewall (there was an option to do so while installing, and I deliberately chose it). Everything was fine except the next day I wasn’t able to launch Steam, which complained with an error “Steam is temporarily unavailable” while trying to update.
None of the solutions suggested by the Google search worked for me (including repairing and reinstalling Steam, just deleting some .blob files, etc), so having considered the installation of Kaspersky as the only possible influence factor, I checked Windows firewall configuration in the Control Panel, deleted Steam outta there and re-added it as a safe application.
This solved the problem. (It wasn’t too obvious: all other programs were working fine, Windows did not complain and Steam was a “trusted” program in built-in firewall settings).

I found a new way to bind input language (input source) switch to the Caps Lock key in Mac OS X. The main advantage of this method is absense of lag, so input source changes almost instantly when you hit the Caps Lock key. You will admire this if you’re a fast typer. Continue reading

Я нашел новый способ «повесить» переключение языка (раскладки) на клавишу Caps Lock в Mac OS X. Главное (для меня) преимущество этого способа в минимальной задержке, то есть раскладка переключается практически моментально после нажатия Caps Lock. Это важно, если вы привыкли набирать быстро.
If you’re using a USB sound card with a headset, the solution is simple as it can be: reconnect your USB sound card.
After installing Bootcamp 3.0 on a PC running Windows Vista (I was experimenting with Apple Aluminium Keyboard drivers), the system started BSOD’ing on startup with an error related to AppleMnt.sys. Continue reading
On my Mac Pro I have two internal hard drives I rarely use. Some times they “sleep” and while doing so, every file opening dialog, search in Spotlight or search in Dictionary might wake them up and that takes some time. I could, of course, disable sleeping in power settings, but then the drives would be unreasonably wasting power all the time, so I decided to write an AppleScript to mount or unmount a drive depending on it’s state.

I was getting a permission error (code -54) when trying to set an id3 tag of a track using AppleScript. The solution was to add a delay between each operation: delay 1
Note that the track will remain “locked” until you restart iTunes.
