Terminal in Leopard

I just figured out how to save terminal settings in Leopard so I can use spotlight to launch a terminal with an ssh session started automatically. You pick Shell->New Remote Connection and set up your connection. In the line below the username box, for ssh you would type ssh user@server. Then click the connect button. When the new terminal window comes up, Select Shell->Export Settings and save the file somewhere. Now you can use launch an ssh session by opening that file.

Leave that window open and start a New Screen Recording in QuickTime player at the same time.  Then just arrange your iPhone window and browser window on your screen and start recording.  You will see both things at the same time.  I uploaded a small video

Dual boot with Windows XP using BOOT.INI

I installed FreeBSD 6.1 on an IBM Thinkpad T30 today. I then installed Windows XP afterwards. Of course, Windows overwrote the boot sector so I could not get to FreeBSD. Thanks to a blog entry found at http://techheadaches.blogspot.com/2006/07/bootini-file-in-windows-2000-xp-server.html , I was able to add FreeBSD to the Windows boot menu. All I did was copy boot/boot1 from the FreeBSD CD to c:\freebsd. Then I added the following line at the end of C:\BOOT.INI c:\freebsd="FreeBSD 6.1" That did the trick!
