Mirror Source folder to Destination folder in OSX

Use rsync.

rsync -avE --delete "source folder/" "destination folder/"

-a = Archive. Copy all attributes.
-v = Verbose
-E = Extended. Copy additional Mac attributes

man rsync to get more info.

The "/" at the end of the folder name is important as it will copy all files/folders within the source folder without creating the source folder itself.

Make keyboard on PC behave like Mac

PC keyboard has Alt key next to Space key while on Mac you have Command key next to it. On Mac you would do Command+Space to change language and Command+C, Command+V for Copy and Paste respectively. The easy and clean way to make PC keyboard having this behaviour is by using the free AutoHotKey tool. With the tool installed, you would create an .ahk file and run it to map the key combinations according to the content in the file. In my case, this is what I put in .ahk file !c::Send, ^c !v::Send, ^v !space UP::Send #{Space} Return !c is Alt+C which I will send ^c or Ctrl+C. The # is Windows key

Scuttle Bookmark

Check this out. I just downloaded this and implement social bookmarking on my site. The download page is here http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/ To make it work on my local developing maching (windows xp/iis/mysql/php5), I had to enable the multibyte string module (php_mbstring.dll) and also did one modification in functions.inc.php line 8 : original : T_setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale); changed to : $ret = T_setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale); This is because the LC_MESSAGES is not supported in my installed PHP. If needed it has to be compiled using something I don't remember but you can check the documentation. It's there. Hopefully one day I will have time to develop an extended version of the scuttle to be the my ideal online bookmark with the following features: 1. can import bookmarks from browser, add bookmarks to the web and being able to export back into browser keeping the folder structures intact. 2. to do that each bookmark will have to include both categories and t
