Super Target Murrieta

I was coming out of Super Target in Murrieta last night, and looked up at the sign on the wall. I thought the red light was interesting against the blue sky. I used Nik Silver Efex to make a nice black and white, and you see the results.

Enable FTP Server in Mac OS X Lion

How to Enable FTP Server in Mac OS X Lion

I have a Mac mini connected to my 1080p TV, and I needed to access and transfer files without disrupting what was on the screen. I could have used either the Finder, SSH, or FTP. I chose FTP. In Mac OSX Lion, the FTP option was removed from the GUI.

It is quite easy and trivial to enable FTP (actually SFTP) in Mac OSX Lion.

All you have to do is enable “Remote Login” (AKA secure SSH) in the Sharing preferences, and SFTP will then be enabled. Then just use your favorite FTP client that is capable of SFTP, and you are all set.

Here is a screen shot of the sharing section that shows what I am talking about:

I use Transmit for FTP, and it works fine for SFTP

Here is a screen shot of my Transmit setup screen

Spinrite USB boot – create a bootable spinrite disk with a USB key

Hewlett Packard makes a free“HP USB Disk Format Tool”, and it includes a “Create a DOS Startup Disk” option.

Download it here: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197

You also need the Windows 98 System Files, download them here: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=196

Run the HP tool (run as administrator), and select “Quick Format”, and “Create a DOS startup disk”, and “using DOS system files located at:”, and browse to the extracted folder you just downloaded containing the Windows 98 system files. Click start. Next, copy your original SPINRITE.EXE file onto the root directory of your USB drive (the drive you just created). Once done, reboot the system with your BIOS configured to boot from USB drives. At the DOS prompt, type spinrite to start SpinRite.

Here is a screenshot of the HP tool you will need:
