Write id3 tags based on filename with Mac OS

Throughout my various backup schemes, my id3 tags get clobbered. I wrote a script to rewrite the tags based on the filename and directory structure of an mp3 collection: ID3 Tag Namer Script As the comment in the script says: /* * Music needs to be in /Users/username/Music/ * in format Artist/Album/00 Title.mp3 * * […]

Mining Bitcoin with a 2012 MacBook Pro

Why Does Apple Sabotage the MacBook?

I recently became aware that Mac OS X will cripple a MacBook Pro’s CPU if the battery of the machine is in an “unhealthy” state. We all know that laptop batteries tend to expire before the rest of the computer, losing all capacity or “needing replacement” in as little as two years of everyday usage. For the […]

Zcat adds .Z in Mac OS

Zcat is a great tool to output the contents of a gzipped file. You can use it to do snazzy things like pipe a gzipped database archive into mysql without waiting for it to decompress to a normal file first. Coming from Linux, you might just think that Mac OS is similar enough to whip […]
