Consistent Hashing
I don’t normally post links to other sites, but this is a great article about consistent hashing that greatly simplifies the explanation.

Prison: Dark, cold, solitary, and little time outside.

Sad coincidence?
Making Terminal.app Easier to Read
I really like the “Pro” color scheme for Terminal.app but I hate how hard it is to read the bold colors. By complete accident however, I came across this Options Page in Terminal.app:
Apparently, you can just click that “Use bright colors for bold text” checkbox and all of a sudden typing things like ls is no longer painful.
Just thought I’d share the tip.
Terminal.app Tab Namer v0.1 Alpha
This is a SIMBL plugin for Terminal.app on Leopard that lets you name your tabs. Because this is an Alpha, I am not going to write up instructions on where to get SIMBL, how to install it, or how to install the bundle. If you don’t already know how, then Alpha software is not for you.
That said, after installing the plugin, press Command+Shift+T to name a tab (or use the Name Tab option under the View menu).
NOTE: This has only been tested on Intel Macs with the latest version of SIMBL. If you have a PowerPC and it works for you, I’d love to hear about it in the comments.
Also, due to the nature of me giving this away for free, I cannot guarantee it won’t harm your computer, nor can I promise it will fix your marriage. This is for use AT YOUR OWN RISK. I wash my hands completely of responsibility.
Enjoy!
