Notes about random tasks I tried searching for answers for but in the end had to make my own:
osx2x - modifications to improve its behavior and fix some bugs
VoodooPad as of version 2.5.3 the web export mechanism results in an ugly index page with huge text saying "Index" as the top of the page. You can insert When you can't find an answer, make one in the template to use an alias, but if you don't give every single page in your document an alias, then When you can't find an answer, make one will appear raw in huge type on the page. To get around this, insert this in your templates instead:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
if ("$ alias[0]$" == "$" + "alias[0]$") {
document.write("$displayName$");
}
else {
document.write("$ alias[0]$");
}
-->
</script>
(Spaces inserted between $ and alias to prevent macro expansion in the example, but they need to be removed if you use this code.)
This site uses a Voodoopad Web Export Template that I cobbled together. If you'd like to use it, here it is, just unzip it and put it in your ~/Application Support/Voodoopad folder, where you'll see the app has already copied its built-in templates.
iTunes deals very poorly with a library that spans multiple hard drives when you disconnect one of those drives, since it offers no simple way to browse only those albums that are on drives that are connected. A quick workaround is to select your entire library and drag it to a playlist. iTunes will create a playlist containing only those tracks that are currently accessible. Unfortunately when you then connect the drive again, now all of that drive's tracks are marked as missing. Clicking one of these tracks will play it, but it will then skip to the next track that is not marked missing, even though they are all actually there.
