		<title>Disable Directory Listing for User Sites Folder in Macintosh OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using the &#8220;Sites&#8221; folder in my local home directory for some web development testing recently. I had a couple of directories created that didn&#8217;t include an &#8220;index.html&#8221; file. That means that anyone hitting the directory itself could list the contents and see all the other files I was working on in there. Not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backing up MySQL databases on an OS X Server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently started using the build-in MySQL database server on my Leopard server. I&#8217;m collecting user login data in one database and SMB and AFP login information in another. Nothing major but information I wouldn&#8217;t really want to lose. I was looking for an easy way to backup these databases when a post on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting user login data from Macs using AppleScript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lab we work with recently upgraded to 10.5 and found that the program they were running to get the user login data for their billing wouldn&#8217;t work in 10.5 and wasn&#8217;t going to be upgrading. In looking at the data it was grabbing it was clear the same data could be gotten using the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Switching between 32 bit and 64 bit mode in Snow Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Out of the box Snow Leopard defaults to running in 32 bit mode. This is so the drivers for things like printers, scanners, network cards, etc. that have not been ported to 64 bit can run. Applications are unaffected by this. A 64 bit app will run in 32 bit mode and vice versa. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enabling clear text passwords in Snow Leopard with AppleScript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: It appears that clear text passwords for AFP connections only work when booted into 32 bit mode. I&#8217;ve updated the script to check for which kernel the user is booted into. If they are running 64 bit it asks them if they want to switch to 32 bit. If they say &#8220;Yes&#8221; then it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disable Time Machine prompts for external disks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This certainly isn&#8217;t a new thing but I haven&#8217;t had a need for it until just recently. I moved my lab machines to Leopard and now every time you plug in an external hard drive it asks to use it for a Time Machine backup. That gets annoying fast. Use the defaults command in Terminal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Time Machine with a networked drive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those folks who are using Time Machine know how great it is for backing up everything quickly and easily. However, what if you can&#8217;t always have an external drive hooked up to your machine. Or, maybe you want to back up more then one machine to that drive. Time Machine backups live quite nicely next [...]]]></description>

One of the questions I hear is &#8220;Are there any good books about AppleScript, especially for beginners&#8221;. Well, the answer is yes and no.

		<title>Determining if an application is 64 bit, 32 bit or both</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the release of Leopard Macs now have the ability to run 64 bit applications natively from the GUI. Tiger, the previous release of the OS, supported 64 bit applications but only at the command line. Also, most Macintosh applications these days come as Universal Binaries so they can run on Intel and PowerPC machines. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turning your Airport Card on and off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a simple tip I stumbled across a month or so ago. There were some bugs in Leopard wireless that wouldn&#8217;t let me connect to the encrypted wireless network at work after a machine was restarted. I found that turning the airport card on and off let me connect again. I hated having to [...]]]></description>
