iCal - Exchange Time Zone Fix - Chapter 2

It was a few months ago that I originally wrote the first incarnation of the MailExchange2iCal script. Since then I’ve been in contact with a few users trying to make it work for them and I’ve found a number of peculiarities in the types of email invites sent by Exchange/Outlook. The biggest problem was that […]

iCal - Exchange Time Zone Fix - part 2

I’ve come across a problem with the original MailExchange2iCal-TZ-fix script. It seems if the .ics invite was only listed as an attachment or in base64 encoding then the script would fail. I’ve subsequently revised the script to handle this and to more gracefully ask into which calendar you want the event imported.

I’ve also fixed the […]

iCal - Exchange Time Zone Fix

As any Mac user who deals with Microsoft Exchange invites will tell you Exchange screws up the time zone information. What this means is that you will likely miss your meetings. Not a good thing.

Justin Hartman has recently given you his solution to this problem. I haven’t tested it but in looking at it I’m […]

Apple USB Ethernet Adapter - solution

Peter Sichel of Sustainable Softworks is a genius. Seriously. He’s not only just updated his USB to Ethernet Adapters for Mac OS X to work with the recently released Apple-branded USB Ethernet adapter, but he sent me a comment letting me know.

I’ve just installed the USBAx8817x 1.0.3b10 release and it seems to be working.

Peter emailed […]

Apple USB Ethernet part 2

Well, after spending several hours on the phone with AppleCare is seems that my mini’s ethernet port went belly up at the exact same time I tried to install the Apple USB Ethernet adapter.

It seems my ethernet port recognizes a connection but just doesn’t transfer data. I did boot from an external firewire drive and […]

Apple USB Ethernet adapter

Don’t use this adapter on any Mac except the MacBook Air

At least not yet. Here’s why. The Apple USB Ethernet adapter loads just fine but it identifies itself with a BSD Device Name of en0. The problem with this is that your Mac’s built-in ethernet adapter also is identified as en0.

I bought this to be […]

Forwarding Email in Leopard Server

OK, to put it mildly the Workgroup Manager and Email in Leopard Server has some quirks and problems.

I and others noted that a user whose email was set to forward would give a 550 error about not being able to access the users mailbox or the mailbox wasn’t set up. Well, since the mail is […]

iPhone post

I’m just testing the iPhone posting with the new 1Password integration. I can only say one thing. Awesome.

Leopard Server DHCP-NAT

Well, I’m finally getting most of the initial stuff for the server up and running. All I can say is thank goodness for Google.

Setting up DHCP/NAT was both simple and highly complex. Simple in that running the Gateway Assistant from the NAT setup was easy. Complex in that the default /etc/bootpd.plist is missing some required […]

Remember my Settings

I guess this falls under the category of “no good deed goes unpunished”.

Since I’ve now gotten my mail server running with an SSL certificate I find that every time I restart Mail.app it wants to put up a dialog letting me know that

The certificate for this server is invalid.

Well, fortunately Mail.app lets […]
