Split text files for iPod Notes usage via Perl

MacOSXHints.com  Tue, 07/22/2008 - 09:30

I've created a simple Perl script that splits a text file into 4KB parts to use within iPod Notes. Usage is pretty simple:

  1. Copy and paste the script (macosxhints mirror) into a plain text file named makenotes.pl on your system.

    Remember to make the script executable (chmod 755 makenotes.pl).
  2. Put the script and the text you want to split into a directory.

I started with Feisty Fawn, and after upgrading once Gutsy Gibbon came out, I decided I never wanted to go through that pain again.

That was, until I discovered that you could move your /home folder and all of its contents to another hard drive.

I was thrilled.


 

10.5: Switch search locations via keyboard shortcut

I discovered this tonight.

If you initiate a search in the Finder (Command-F) from a folder (other than your user's home folder), the Search criteria shows This Mac and the name of the current directory as search locations.

If you press Command-F again, the current directory choice is replaced with your user's Home folder.

In Leopard, if you've changed your home path from your Mac's internal hard disk to an external hard disk, as in this hint, and maybe you turned off your drive or maybe it unmounted for no specific reason, you'll see that it isn't sufficient to turn it back on to see all your preferences back to normal.
