Thanks....

Thanks for all of the emails. Everything is OK. It took me a little longer then expected to get settled in after the move. Plus my hours at work changed so I was adjusting to the new schedule (I know, blah, blah, blah) :-)

I will have a new show out by the end of the month.

Talk to you soon.

Fixing a "stuck" 'Automatically reduce brightness' setting:
1) Manually edit the plist file for PowerManagement.Â Itâs located at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist.Â Under Custom Profile -> AC Power (and you have to do it under the Battery Power one, too if you have that set up), create a Child (if it doesnât exist already) named âDisplay Sleep Uses Dimâ and set it to Number and the value to 0.Â That seemed to do the trick on my iMac.
2) If you still have issues, the system may be ignoring the plist setting.Â You can create a little one-line Applescript and dump it on the desktop to run whenever you need it.Â Just put this line in it (but, be aware that even if you save it as run-only, your admin password can still be seen if someone opens up the file as text): do shell script âsudo pmset halfdim 0â password ââ with administrator privileges

Show correction

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 11:24:00 GMT

Correction - During episode #60 I mistakenly said "command+option+delete will allow you to force quite an application". That's not the case. Command+option+escape is the key combination you need to use. I am sorry for any confusion. Thanks to Isaac for catching this mistake first.
