If you are missing either your “Dashboard > Updates” menu choice, or the “Add New” button or menu choice in the Plugins section, do this to correct it:
Edit the wp-config.php file, and change two lines to be false instead of true:
For example, here are the two lines fixed:
1 2 | define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false); define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',false); |
define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);
define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',false);

You can associate a file extension with an app (such as MacVim) via the “Info dialog”. Just select the file and hit Cmd-i, then go to the “Open with” tab, select app and hit “Change all…”. This will change the default application for that file type.

As per MS Support page:
“My arrow keys don’t move from cell to cell”
Press SHIFT+F14 to toggle the Scroll Lock to the off position.
Applies To: Excel for Mac 2011
Cause: Scroll Lock is turned on and causing the arrow keys to scroll the workbook area.
Solution: Turn off Scroll Lock.
Typically, when a cell is selected in a sheet and you press the arrow keys, the selection moves between individual cells, either up or down, or left or right, depending on the arrow key you press. However, if you press the arrow keys when Scroll Lock is on, you scroll one row up or one row down. Or, you scroll one column to the left or one column to the right. Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key on the keyboard, just like the CAPS LOCK key. Once pressed, Scroll Lock is enabled. To use the arrow keys to move between cells, you must turn Scroll Lock off.
Press SHIFT+F14 to toggle the Scroll Lock to the off position.

Make sure you have Ghostscript installed, then:
1 | gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS="/ebook" -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf |
gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS="/ebook" -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf
-dPDFSETTINGS={value} where {value} is one of:
/screen – the lowest resolution and lowest file size, fine for viewing on a screen
/ebook – mid-range resolution and file size
/printer – high-quality setting used for printing PDFs
/prepress – high-quality setting used for printing PDFs
As always, YMMV…

I wanted to send email from cron for various reasons, but the emails would bounce with an error 554:
554 5.1.8
Clearly, Postfix was using the “internal” hostname of myappledesktop.local (MacOSX has TWO hostnames! also, myappledesktop.local is not the real hostname ;-).
So, I needed two things:
1. a public FQDN in DNS that mail servers could see and resolve properly
2. to set the sending hostname to that FQDN
For the first, I used my DNS server to create a FQDN with home’s public IP address: myappledesktop.thewyz.net
Then, I edited the Postfix configuration file and set the sending hostname manually:
1 2 | vim /etc/postfix/main.cf myhostname = myappledesktop.thewyz.net |
vim /etc/postfix/main.cf myhostname = myappledesktop.thewyz.net
That did the trick!
No need to run `postfix reload`, since postfix only runs on-demand, not as a daemon.
As always, YMMV…
