Hey Mom — I’m Famous!

Well, I’m not really famous but I did get credit in a book. Awhile back, when Leopard first came out, I made a post on this blog (which has been deleted) about changing the dock from 3D to 2D. The other day I googled my name out of boredom and found out that piece of information is in the Big Book of Apple Hacks. That post has been good to me.

Games I’m Looking Forward To

  • Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (Nintendo DS)
  • ChronoTrigger (Nintendo DS)
  • Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (Xbox 360)
  • Guitar Hero World Tour (Xbox 360)
  • Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)
  • Final Fantasy 13 (Xbox 360)
  • Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360)
  • Lego Batman (Xbox 360)
  • Prince of Persia (Xbox 360)
  • Rock Band 2 (Xbox 360)
  • Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)
  • Silent Hill: Homecoming (Xbox 360)
  • Street Fighter 4 (Xbox 360)

There are so many games coming out soon and most of them are going to be very good. These are just the ones that I’m almost positive that I’m going to get. It’s going to be fun!

Leopard Dock Revisited

Awhile back I wrote a little how to about changing the leopard dock, which no longer exists here, and it was fairly popular. There are a couple of ways to change it now.

3D Dock

One of the ways, the easiest way, is to use Dock Library. Once you download and install that app you can just go over to LeopardDocks.com or LeopardDocks.net and download a style to your taste.

If you don’t want to install a program you can still do it manually.

Go into your /System/Library/Core Services/ folder, right click on Dock, and select Show Package Contents. Then go to /Contents/Resources/ and make sure you backup these files. Then either edit them yourself or replace them with ones you download from on of those sites. Once you have replaced them go to the terminal and type killall Dock.

2D Dock

If you want the 2D dock you can type this in the terminal

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
killall Dock

Hello world!

So… I deleted my blog, again. I promise this will be the last time. There’s no real reason why I did; I just wanted to start over I guess. Things are a little bit messy right now but should be cleaned up shortly.
