Ghost in the Machine

Have you updated iTerm recently to find that your preferences are blown away? Feeling a rise in blood pressure because your bookmarks are gone?

Waaaaaah!

Never fear, you can get them back.

The recent iTerm update is using a different .plist filename, so just:

mv ~/Library/Preferences/iTerm.plist ~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.iTerm.plist

And you’re all set. See ticket 2064198.

Another miscellaneous, marginally useful post that hopefully saves someone’s day.

I happened to be able to get a couple of the new Seagate Momentus 2.5″ 7200rpm 320GB laptop hard drives from PC Connection.

After a 20-minute upgrade following these instructions for replacing a MacBook Pro hard drive I ran xbench and below are the results, in case anyone cares.

A couple of tips:

• Don’t get the drives with G-shock if you’re an MBPro user
• No, there shouldn’t be any jumpers set on the drive.
