On Wednesday night my car died on the way home from a movie. Turns out my alternator became disconnected, but at the time I was pretty stuck. To kill time while Nathan came to jump start my car, I wrote this message on the Graffitio wall for the Hampton Inn near 119th and Strang Line in Olathe, KS.
I’ve had trouble with this a few times lately. A process called syslogd starts using massive system resources, slows everything down, and makes my fans go crazy. It seems to be a common problem.
Apparently the system log file was becoming huge. Deleting it seems to help:
sudo rm /var/log/asl.db
Other “fixes” are on or linked to on this thread.
I love these icons so much. Check out both packs of application icons and the system pack. I was using the system pack for a while but dropped it in favor of these. They are a lot easier to look at a huge list of.
My dock is full of the stickers right now, and I really like the look of it. Unifies things a little bit.
I especially like the look of the System Preferences replacement
and the Mail icon
I think they’re my favorite application icons to date, but I wish people would widen their color palette a little bit. Docks too often have way too much blue.
