If you want to hide folders on your computer to keep your “Work” safe it is simple and easy to do. It involves a little bit of Finder no how and a bit of time. It simple to implement as you simple make the folder you want to find into a dot folder. A dot folder, be default, it hidden on a Mac. As a result to the casual browser on your computer it will appear hidden.
Subversion is a great way to keep files updated on a webserver. It is used by developers to make sure every file they use is the latest and every one is running the same piece of code.

The Mac system, as you might well know is built on Unix. As a result there is a lot of Unix folders in the root system.

This post will show you how to turn any file or folder into a disk image for you to use.
I love Terminal. It ease of use and the raw power behind such a small little application. Anyway I have been looking on the internet during an hour of boredom to find cool and interesting commands which you can use in Terminal to show some cool statistics. This post sort of follows on from Playing Games In Terminal, which I posted eariler. These commands are designed to be low level and not very powerful. I have only posted a few, but if you do know any more please leave a comment below.
