Sometimes, a Finder or application window will open partially or completely off the screen, and cannot be moved back into a visible area; most often, this happens if one of the monitors is removed from a multiple-monitor system. In this situation, the whole window can be moved back into a visible area by opening the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and running the following:

tell application "Finder"
set bounds of window 1 to {202, 103, 817, 508}
end tell

Replace the application's name and the window's number as necessary. The window can be specified by number or by name.

Stupid frikkin os x. I hate the window manager. It sucks and sometimes some windows get into places where you can't resize them. This is the bit of applescript you need to fixx0r anything.

OSLO, Norway: Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has been nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his wide-reaching efforts to draw the world's attention to the dangers of global warming, a Norwegian lawmaker said Thursday.

"A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference," Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.

What are your 5 things?

1) I once broke up w/ a girl by writing a poem consisting of six stanzas of rhyming couplets.
2) My "to read" pile is now taller than me.
3) I secretly desire to write comedy and one day I will force myself to do stand-up but my delusions of inadequacy complicate the issue.
4) I sometimes experience "auditory hallucinations" that I call the "radio-in-my-head", think of it as an ipod with a programming director that hates me. Yesterday's top song: _Toxic_ by Britney Spears.
5) When I measure, I start at the base of the scrotum because I need the extra inch.

For my first picture post I would like it to be something kick ass. So here's a picture of a pig w/ four eyes and two snouts.

Lets face it. If you're reading this that means you probably type a lot. And if you're gonna type a lot you should really consider typing on a quality keyboard.

Plenty of people have posted about the optimus or the DasKeyboard and even the LAZAR keyboardbut if spending $100+ for a keyboard I wanted something awesome. And I wanted the small clit mouse. In short I wanted a thinkpad keyboard. The UltraNav is it and it rocks.

I got one of the last of the IBM branded UltraNavs (w/o the stupid num pad) and I love it. I even love it more than big clicky

Design Matters � Blog Archive � Afraid of Mice? Try the External TrackPoint Keyboard.

With synergy, all the computers on your desktop form a single virtual screen. You use the mouse and keyboard of only one of the computers while you use all of the monitors on all of the computers. You tell synergy how many screens you have and their positions relative to one another. Synergy then detects when the mouse moves off the edge of a screen and jumps it instantly to the neighboring screen. The keyboard works normally on each screen; input goes to whichever screen has the cursor.

In this example, the user is moving the mouse from left to right. When the cursor reaches the right edge of the left screen it jumps instantly to the left edge of the right screen.

You can arrange screens side-by-side, above and below one another, or any combination. You can even have a screen jump to the opposite edge of itself. Synergy also understands multiple screens attached to the same computer.

Running a game and don't want synergy to jump screens? No problem. Just toggle Scroll Lock. Synergy keeps the cursor on the same screen when Scroll Lock is on. (This can be configured to another hot key.)

Do you wish you could cut and paste between computers? Now you can! Just copy text, HTML, or an image as you normally would on one screen then switch to another screen and paste it. It's as if all your computers shared a single clipboard (and separate primary selection for you X11 users). It even converts newlines to each computer's native form so cut and paste between different operating systems works seamlessly. And it does it all in Unicode so any text can be copied.

Do you use a screen saver? With synergy all your screen savers act in concert. When one starts they all start. When one stops they all stop. And, if you require a password to unlock the screen, you'll only have to enter a password on one screen.

If you regularly use multiple computers on one desk, give synergy a try. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
