Today I whipped up a quick mixin for Chocolat that opens the current open file for preview in Marked.

You can download it under the Install Mixins menu in Chocolat or from Github.

BBS LM - Red, White & Gold - One of the rear wheels for my 2008 GTI.

Install Homebrew if you do not have it already.

1

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

Install fuse4x

1

brew install fuse4x

Install ntfs-3g

1

brew install ntfs-3g

• Follow the on screen instructions after the make install to replace the default OS X automounter.

Configure fuse4x kernel

1

brew info fuse4x-kext

• Follow the on screen instructions must be installed by the root user.

Done, mount your drive

I use Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi but this method should work for any major distro.

From Terminal in OS X with the SD card connected

Identify the SD card

1

df -h

Unmount the SD card (use your disk as determined by previous step)

1

sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s1

Apply the image to the SD card

1

sudo dd bs=1m if=/path/to/file.img of=/dev/rdisk1

My winter project has been to learn enough about small circuits to make use of a Raspberry Pi. Going into this, I know absolutely nothing about building hardware and interfacing software with it. In the end my goal is to build myself a Garage app for my iPhone that will provide me with all the information and tools that I implement. I’m also trying to avoid the ‘common’ way of interfacing with the RPi over HTTP.

Currently my list of features is:

• Live video feed
• Current temperature reading
• Ability to control the furnace
• Current door status (open / closed)
• Ability to open and close the garage door

I ordered a RPi and a bunch of parts off eBay, most haven’t shown up yet but some relays have. I wrote up a Python server script that operates over SSL and TCP to receive commands from my iPhone app which operates the garage door.

For now I am stuck waiting on Canada Post to bring more goodies to my door.

Launch Terminal and paste the following snippet:

1

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

This might take a couple minutes, restart Finder afterwards:

1

killall Finder

Export the MySQL Database

1

mysqldump -p -u username database_name > database.sql

Import the MySQL Database

• Create the database first and then run

1

mysql -p -u username database_name < filename.sql
