Dotcloud – Warning: Identity file not accessible: No such file or directory.
If you’re using dotcloud and realize that you’re getting this error: Warning: Identity file ~/.dotcloud/dotcloud.key not accessible: No such file or directory. You are probably using the old version of the API / CLI. Make sure you upgrade both the CLI and API and also the application. You may also want to use the dotcloud info yourapp.www to get information such as the ssh connect string (username@host) and correct port. The correct for direct ssh would be: `ssh dotcloud@your-app-1234.dotcloud.com -i ~/.dotcloud/dotcloud.key -p 5678` Make sure to replace the port numbers and domain string appropriately. See this article: http://docs.dotcloud.com/guides/copy/

Prevent Macbook From Sleeping With Lid Closed
On a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or Macbook with traditional clamshell mode, an external display, mouse, and keyboard must be attached in order to maintain the running closed-lid clamshell state. Thanks NoSleep we can now remove those hardware limitations and run a Mac laptop with the lid closed and no hardware attached. The problem I was facing was that when I had a keyboard, trackpad, and external monitor attached and removed the power supply / power adapter my macbook would go to sleep. Now thanks to NoSleep I can easily toggle the sleep mode to keep the computer awake. This is similar to the Caffeine extension which can keep your monitor awake during presentations – it also sits in the menu bar. Download NoSleep from Google Code
How to do a Random Drawing / pick at random using Excel
Are you running a contest or sweepstakes an need a system to pick random winners out of a pool of names? You could take the old-school approach of writing names on business cards and pulling them out of a fishbowl, or you could use Microsoft Excel. Put the names in an excel sheet. add a column and put =RAND() in it. it will give a random number that is recalculated every time a change is made on the sheet. choose that column and click sort “a-z” (or z-a). it won’t matter because each time you do it will randomize the names. Just pick the top one (or top 10) after sorting it.
Reset 1Password Keyboard Shortcuts – Solved
You’ll see from the 1password support site that there is a bug having to do with resetting the default shortcut keys. There are two versions of 1Password, one installed from their website and one installed from the app store. If you use the one from the app store, you an delete these two files to reset all the preferences: Folder: ~/Library/Containers/com.agilebits.onepassword-osx/Data/Library/Preferences/ Files com.agilebits.onepassword-osx.plist com.agilebits.onepassword-osx.plist.lockfile ps: You may want to make a backup of these. If you’ve downloaded the program from their website, you will find the plist file located instead at: ~/Library/Preferences/ws.agile.1Password.plist You can also open these 1Password plist preference files with a program like PlistEdit Pro.app and simply find the following two values and delete them: ShortcutRecorder bookmarks ShortcutRecorder restoreForm For some related information, see the help article on their support forum.

Google Voice is down – Error 500
Google Voice is down – Error 500 Google voice is down with an Error 500: Internal Server Error An error 500 is a generic error message, given when no more specific message is suitable.

Update After about 20 minutes of being down today Google Voice is back up again.
Apple Introduces Developer ID and Gatekeeper
The Mac App Store is the safest place for users to get software for their Mac, but we also want to protect users when they get applications from other places. Gatekeeper is a new feature in OS X Mountain Lion that helps protect users from downloading and installing malicious software. Signing your applications, plug-ins, and installer packages with a Developer ID certificate lets Gatekeeper verify that they are not known malware and have not been tampered with. Mac Developer Program members can sign applications with their Developer ID now to get ready for Gatekeeper. If you’re not already a member, join the Mac Developer Program today.
Mac OS X: Minimize Hangs or Freezes
If you’re using Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard of Lion, your Mac OS may hang when you to to minimize a window, be it from the yellow circle icon in the titlebar, the window menu, or the command+m key combination. After searching for many tips and trying to close running programs (like the ones near the clock), I realized that I needed to adjust the Dock Preferences to allow minimizing to function correctly: The main keys for me were changing from Genie to Scale effect, and then back to Genie, and unchecking the box that said “minimize into application icon” Hopefully this will help you. Leave a comment if it works.
