Removing the 'Shortcut to...' prefix from shortcuts - Tweaks @ Sanx
I had a surprisingly hard time finding this. I do it once with each machine and then forget. TweakUI used to do it. At one time Windows did it automatically if you removed the stupid prefix often enough.

More Safari Bookmark JavaScript tricks (via Macintouch)
Safari 1.2: "Sending web pages from Safari
Davide Guarisco
R.Benz asked 'How do you send a web page in Safari? ...The only workaround I figured out is to click drag the URL from the window's URL box to an open page in my email program, which works but does not title the email like the send page command would and is also less convenient than a keyboard command.'
Create a bookmark entry (I call mine 'e' and place it in my Bookmarks Bar) and enter the following under Address:
javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href)
Now, every time you want to mail the page you are on, click on that bookmark and your favorite email client will compose a new message with the appropriate title. Works in Mail and Eudora (and possibly others...).

Add an 'email' bookmark with the following in the address field (you can edit the address field by selecting the menu item 'Show All Bookmarks'):
javascript:void(document.location='mailto:?subject='+document.title+'&body='+document.location)
You can also create a custom search option with a bookmark like:
javascript:x=escape(getSelection());window.location='http://www.google.ca/search?q='+x+'&meta=cr%3DcountryCA'; "

Scriptable Applications: Safari Bookmarks controlling applications
Scriptable Applications: Safari BookmarksVery nice set of features. New to me!
Safari's robust JavaScript support and Mac OS X's built-in URL architecture enable direct communication between Safari and other applications via special bookmarks. Using these special bookmarks you can select text on a webpage and use it to search the iTunes Music Store or a Sherlock web-service. The following examples can be copied and added to your Safari bookmark collection.

Linksys software and hardware is relatively poor quality. This stuff sounds interesting.

Framework Lives ...
Framework home page & the FRED Computer Language, Framework IV, II, III, V, VI, VI, VII
This DOS application had ideas and functions that were never again approached in a mainstream application. Astoundingly, it's still sold!

Dialing in to a home LAN
MacInTouch Home Page
Wild, I never noticed this.
It was unclear to us in Apple's various online descriptions, but the modem version of the AirPort Extreme Base Station [$241 at Amazon] not only supports dialing out to an Internet provider, it also supports dialing in to your own network.
The feature is configured via the AirPort Admin Utility: in the Show All Settings>Network panel is a checkbox for Enable PPP Dial-in, along with a Configure dialog for entering a single username and password, plus time-out parameters.

OS X: fixing a remote services failure by deleting keychain items
iPhoto 4
I think there's a keychain utility that handles this somewhere ...
Re: Unable to Order Prints
John Roche
I wrote previously about not being able to order prints or books with iPhoto 4. It was driving me crazy and I may have figured out the problem. It appears to be a keychain related issue. Look for a file in your keychain called "net services for apple.com" mine had a corrupted password of jumbled characters. I just deleted the file (not the whole key chain!) and like magic I was now able to connect to the ordering page with iPhoto.
This worked for ordering prints, but when I tried to do a book it hung after assembling as before. Again, it appears to be a key chain issue. The newly generated file 'Net Services' for apple.com has a jumbled password. This time I did NOT delete it but simply change the password to my correct password and all was well.
