Shutting down OSX with a sound
For some unknown reason I got into my head that it would be really cool if my Macbook Pro would say something when shutting down.
This is how I went about it…
OSX doesn’t natively support configuring a shutdown sound so the first thing I needed to do was finding a plug-in that would bring me the magic.
This is taken care of by SystemSound plug-in (click to download) from Kiwi Fruitware
And setting it up is as easy as scratching your… … well you get the picture!
When download is completed locate the “SystemSound.prefPane” file with in the “SystemSound Extension” folder.
iBook server booklet
A little while ago I was given an iBook with a faulty screen (as in not working at all).
Having a hard time just throwing it away, I was looking for a way to put it to use even though it was a fairly old 500mhz G3 ibook.
Things being as they were, I thought the only thing to do was using it as a server even if it would mean quite a makeover - hence the fun.
