Someone sent me a message telling me that they couldn’t use Mac OS X’s Chrome because it didn’t come with the same kind of development tools that other browsers will often come with. Not that I’m one to take sides in browser wars, but… Open Google Chrome and click on the View menu. From here, click on View and from the Developer sub-menu, click on Developer Tools, View Source or Java Script Console, similar options to what you have available in Safari. Have fun with that!

Automating Locations with networksetup
The new location options in networksetup are pretty interesting and while I’ve mentioned them in writings in the past I thought I would explore scripting against them, as they do reflect an interesting new challenge, mostly if you’re looking to script against non-booted volumes. To script against a booted volume is fairly straight forward. You have the -listlocations, -getcurrentlocation, -createlocation, -deletelocation and -switchlocation options which lists all locations, lists the current location, creates a location, deletes a location and potentially switches a location. To get started, first look at what locations your system has: networksetup -listlocations If you are on a freshly installed system you should see Automatic as your…

Customizing Chrome for Mac
Yesterday I mentioned that Google Chrome is now available for Mac OS X. You can customize the screen that Google Chrome uses for Mac OS X. To do so, open the https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html. Here, you’ll see a list of the available themes that you can use. Select a theme, and then, once selected, click on the Apply theme button below the theme. Viola, you now have a sexy new interface for Chrome!

Google Chrome for Mac Available
It’s fast, it’s sleek and the tabs along the top help to conserve space (much like they did with the betas of Safari). It’s Google Chrome for Mac and you can get it here.

VirtualBox 3.1 Out & Tested
The latest version of VirtualBox is out and it supports a whole slew of bug fixes. In fact, the latest VirtualBox fixes a very specific problem that I’ve been struggling with, which is the fact that iSCSI LUNs greater than 2 Terabytes would not mount (not that I have many LUNs greater than 2TB in my lab but occasionally it does come up). When running on Mac OS X, the following other bug fixes are also included: X11 based hosts: allow the user to specify their own scan code layout (bug #2302) Mac OS X hosts: don’t auto show the menu and dock in fullscreen (bug #4866) Mac OS X…

Git on Mac OS X
The latest Git works swimmingly on the Mac. To download it you can curl it from the repository: curl http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.5.3.tar.gz -O Next, extract the files: tar xzvf git-1.6.5.3.tar.gz Once extracted, cd into the directory that you extracted the files into and then run a make configure with the git-1.6.5.3 directory as your working directory. make configure If you cannot run make becuase you don’t have a compiler, make sure that you have installed the developer tools on your computer. Once you have run the make, run the configure, specifying the directory you would like to install into. In this case I’ll be deploying into /usr/local/git: ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/git NO_MSGFMT=yes make prefix=/usr/local/git…

Cloudy NetBooks
A friend of a friend has a nice blog in Cloudiness. As far as a stream of consciousness goes, it’s a great read and there are a number of recent posts dealing with that hot-button topic of the Mac NetBook. Disclaimer: I am a staunch believer in following the legal letter with regard to licensing and intellectual property; however, it’s also very interesting to me to keep up on what others are finding technically possible if only based on intellectual curiosity…
