Does anyone know how to merge multiple Keychains in Mac OS X?
I know I can copy items from one keychain to another, but that involves authenticating twice.
I tried going in and adding those other keychains to be part of my list, but they don’t stay. Frustrating.
Why am I doing this? I replaced my computer, and was not able to transfer my account at setup time, so I ended up with some old keychains that got copied over.
Suggestions, comments, rants?
All are welcome!

A photographer friend of mine, in the midst of the “controlled chaos” of his daughter’s 3rd birthday party, somehow got on to the topic of Pelican cases. He has been using them, and abusing them, for many years, and will do so for many more. But, he warned us that even though they are guaranteed against almost anything they are not covered against damage from toddlers! Being curious I decided to check.. and lo and behold, kids under five are put into the same catergory as Bear attacks and Shark bites, which their guarantee also does not cover.

Let’s put it into perspective though! Go and read a few of the Survival Stories and then wonder just how destructive a toddler can be.
I was writing a short shell script this morning and accidentally typed in
#! /bin/bach
and wondered why nothing worked…
Maybe it’s time to switch to the New Adventure Shell?
Well, I certainly learned a few more Google tricks!

Grandpa got his grandson a $10 digital camera while they were on vacation, and I got annoyed at having to boot up the Thinkpad to get photos off of it.
Since Vivitar does not make drives for the Vivicam 55, and only made the 55B OS X compatible… I had to go do some digging to get it to work.
From Google groups I ended up in digital-products.info and grabbed 905C OSX10.4.zip. Inside are a PKG file, and a Quicktime component,
Copy the Quicktime component to /Library/QuickTime/, then install the PKG. Reboot. grumble.
Open Image capture or iPhoto.. and it works!
Anyone want 20 snapshots of the frame around our living room window?
It seems that Dan has hit upon a new form of sensory perception, particular to the computer age! He coined the term ‘Cliposeption’ for “the sense that there’s something on the clipboard.”
Maybe we can add on ‘Clipophobia’ to that? The fear that you just overwrote something important in the clipboard?
There is a related fear, which I get when I use Linux/UNIX, that of selecting something (usually the URL in the browser’s address bar) to delete it and paste in where I want to go, only to realize that I just over wrote my clipboard. ‘Selectoparanoia’?
I can add a phobia on to that as well: several of my clients refuse to remove Apple’s default items from their Dock. One person had been using their machine for almost 2 years, and when I showed them that those programs they never used could be removed (and replaced easily) so they could have a dozen fewer items in their Dock they got visibly upset.

I was stumbling through a big pile of mail this morning and wanted to search for all messages whose subject did not contain a certain keyword. It turns out you can do some decent searching in Mail.
Straight from the Help:
When you search entire messages, you can refine your search by using logical symbols to represent “and” (&), “or” ( | ), “not” ( ! ), and parentheses. For example:
“cat & dog” finds messages containing both “cat” and “dog”
“cat | dog” finds messages containing either “cat” or “dog”
“cat ! dog” finds messages containing “cat” but not “dog”
“cat & (dog | newt)” finds messages containing both “cat” and “dog” and messages containing both “cat” and “newt”
This is easy!

1) Next unread message.
I prefer to use a plain list view for a mailbox, and have to open a message to view it.
Remember Eudora? I used to use Eudora, and sometimes think I still should. It has this nice feature where you hit the spacebar, causing the current message to page down web-page style. When you reach the end hit that spacebar again and you jump to the next unread message in that mailbox. Nice, eh?
That does not work in Mail.
So, how about a key command to do that? Nope, not available either.
2) Invalid Email addresses.
What is so hard about telling me you can not send the email because I was too stupid to enter in a proper email address? Mail will happily harass you about opening too many windows at once.. so why not invalid email addresses?
Yeah, I caught myself BCC’ing several people, and some of them were not actual email addresses, just the domain name. Took me way too long to figure out too!
