1. http://chmox.sourceforge.net/ – Let me view CHM files in OSX.
2. iTerm Bookmarks

Example:
1. Pressing [CTRL] + [COMMAND] + [R] goes to “/opt/ruby” directory
2. Pressing [CTRL] + [COMMAND] + [s], opens up an SSH terminal by specifying the PORT and IP.


1. Thanks to Chester for this one…

2. You can drag an image from a browser right to your desktop. This is faster than doing [Command] + [SHIFT] + F4 then cropping the picture out of the webpage..
Just a quick note before I go home tonight…
1. Replace your current terminal with iTerm.
2. MarsEdit rocks! Ive been posting lazy and all but with this blog client at hand.. blog posting is easier. Way way better compared to ecto!! (IMHO).
Just noticed that William of kyngchaos has updated the mapserver binary for MacOSX.
But right now, I need to tile these images bought from GeoEye, so I need TIFF support. Below is a summary of getting Mapserver installed by source. Note that I have the necessary GEOS, GDAL from kyngchaos as well from this ealier post.
1. Download the ff files:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert admin 564313 Jul 26 10:32 agg-2.5.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert admin 1345700 Jul 26 10:22 gd-2.0.35.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert admin 613261 Jul 26 10:22 jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert admin 796551 Jul 26 10:22 libpng-1.2.29.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert admin 1948751 Jul 26 09:55 mapserver-5.2.0.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert admin 1336295 Jul 26 11:11 tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz
2. Install in the ff order:
- jpegsrc
- libpng
- gd (if you have trouble installing gd, then follow this pdf:installing_gd2_on_os_x_server)
- agg (make only)
- tiff
- mapserver
3. For mapserver, please install using the ff configure switches:
./configure \
--with-agg=/myhome/rupert/mapserver/agg-2.5 \
--with-jpeg \
--with-gd \
--with-freetype \
--with-png \
