If you’re like me and still use Dashboard Widgets in Mountain Lion, as well as loved the widgets from Bjango (previously iSlayer) you may be disappointed to find that iStat Pro doesn’t show a list of running processes any longer.

Thankfully, the widget itself is mostly Javascript and the issue is actually very minor. In the two files, one for the “tall” view and one for the “wide” view, you simply have to insert a space at the particular points where the Process ID is searched for.

Details are in this post on MacRumors.

Mt Fuji from an ANA flight

On Monday on the way back from Tokyo, my ANA flight, much to my delight, flew close by Mt Fuji. I happened to be on the left-hand side of the plane by the window and thankfully had my camera with me, so I had plenty of time to snap off a bunch of good shots. The only problems involved the sun shining on the plane from that side and reflections from the window, which I had to counter by holding up a blanket.  The weather was so clear that despite the snow on the peak, the walking trails could clearly be seen.

<Branes> You know how bloody often people ‘d screw up their install by changing the shortname of their home folder in /Users?
<OzDave_mbp> ok
<Branes> Fix: make a symlink of their home folder, put the symlink at root level, then hide /Users completely :)
<OzDave_mbp> neat!
<Branes> Then they can change their home folder as much as they bloody well like
<Branes> changing the name of the symlink doesn’t reflect in the destination
