Bandwidth tracker / counter for mac

INFeRNO — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:05:01 +0800

Hey mac fans,

I've been scouting around for a piece of software that can help me keep track of how much I've been downloading. This is so that I can ensure I never go over my bandwidth limit (or at least try not to). So far I have found 1, but I had to pay for it, so it was a no go. I'm sure someone here knows of a cute little widget that does this. All it has to do is count how much I've been downloading. Nothing fancy.

If you know of anything, then please let me know. Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing this thread drop to the second page within minutes of posting this

Some basic OS X questions

INFeRNO — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 05:14:40 +0800

As a mac newbie, there is a sort of learning curve that I have to go through to get used to OS X. So I have a few questions, a few of many I think in the months to come

So anyways, I hope some of you will take some time to answer my stupid questions...

1) Where do you install stuff? Anything I d/l ends up on the desktop, and what I do is just double click on the thing and it usually works fine. It does however leave some sort of HDD icon on the desktop whenever I launch an application. Should I just drag the *.dmg file somewhere else first before clicking on it?

2) It really annoys me that "X"-ing a program doesn't really close it, it merely hides it. Is there a setting somewhere that I change to force it to shut down instead of just hiding?

3) How do I delete stuff? There isn't an uninstall icon anywhere. Do I just bin it?

There was something else I wanted to ask, but I just plain forgot. Anyways, thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Help! I'm eating everything in sight!

Hope someone can help me.

I just recently started paying a bit more attention to my physique, and I've decided to bulk up A LITTLE. Had to emphasise that because I'm ectomorphic.

The thing is, I just started doing about 20 - 30 mins of cardio a day, and a bit of weight trainning, and I've noticed that my appetite has doubled. I'm not joking, I'm literally eating everything in sight, and that's not a good thing.

I just wanna know, is this normal? Should I stop myself from eating? I don't want to hinder muscle growth. I'm not taking any protein shakes etc, as I don't think they're neccessary for me. Not planning on getting huge. I believe my diet to be fairly balanced. Not living in M'sia, so it's easy to avoid stuff that's greesy etc.

All suggestions welcome

Mount Money

Oh boy...

Farming gold has to be the most boring thing ever. Kinda regret not saving up earlier.

Anyways, I decided to share my style of farming with you, since I can't be bothered to do it like everyone else. This is useful for members of the Allicance, members of the Horde have loads of guides online.

Please bear in mind that my method relies heavily on the AH, so if you're looking for CASH ONLY methods, you would be better off elsewhere. Also, the style of grinding is AoE.

So here's what I do. First, go to deadmines. Go to that area where they have those undead miners (they're not in the instance). Kill them all using AoE. Be careful not to pull too many at a go, the have dynamite that can really hurt you, even at level 39. 5 at a go should be ok.

Once they're all dead, head on down to raven hill. Along the way, you'll find many gnoll camps to your right. Go nuke a few camps along the way for some good linen drops. They also have chests all over the place, so do have a look. Do remember that mana and health pots sell well in the AH, so grab those as well.

Once at raven hill, go down to the catacombs and kill all those ghouls. They drop silk and 1s on average. Also, tomb dust seems to sell well on the AH, if you get them that is.

Also, if your a skinner like me, you can go and kill those nightbane whatever slightly further down and skin them. They're cool because they're humanoids that you can skin. So they drop cash, AND you get more cash for selling their leather.

By now, your bags should be full of linen, wool and silk, couple bits of ore/stone, leather and a bunch of random greens. Bounce on over to the nearest AH and hawk them all. As for the greens that you know won't sell well, for example a staff that has +str +agi, or a chestplate that has +spr +int, disenchant them and sell that instead.

So here's to hoping your gold farming doesn't get too boring. I might try farming instances next, like Stockades and maybe DM. I'll let you know how fruitful that is.
