Folks,
As promised I have put up a blog post on how to get Dolphin running native under Wine (in this particular case on Mac OSX using a free product called WineSkin). You can find the blog at:

There are a few videos to go along with the blog and these can be found in the OA video library at:

Mounting a Sparseimage with Automator in OS X
I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup the Mini to an encrypted sparse image. OS X 10.6 used to mount the image automatically but quit doing so and I can’t figure out why. In lieu of that I built an Automator script to mount the share so that CCC could mount the image. That worked until upgrading to 10.7.
My final solution was to add a final step to the script asking the user to mount the sparse image manually.
This site showed how to do so like this:
tell application "Finder" to display dialog "Empty Trash" with icon 2
Emacs like expression evaluation in Emacs
A lot of people would like Emacs style evaluation of code in DrRacket.
This document explains how to do it.

Easily change the backgrounds of iCal and Address Book in OS X 10.7
10.7 introduced “leather bound” iCal and Address Book.
This student’s app changes them back.
Might even donate a little something to him for saving you the trouble.
Chibi Scheme Build for an OS X library and iOS REPL
Meng Zhang set up project files for building Chibi for OS X and an iOS REPL here.
With virtually no iOS knowledge I just checked it out, built it, and ran it on the simulator in a couple of minutes.
Thank you Alex and Meng!

The Pioneer plaque
The Pioneer plaques are a pair of gold-anodized aluminium plaques which were placed on board the 1972 Pioneer 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 spacecraft, featuring a pictorial message, in case either Pioneer 10 or 11 are intercepted by extraterrestrial life. The plaques show the nude figures of a human male and female along with several symbols that are designed to provide information about the origin of the spacecraft.[1]
The Pioneer spacecraft were the first human-built objects to leave the Solar System.
