web-goddess: FYI

Thursday, October 21, 2004

For the sake of any future Googlers: If you use Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer everything from your iBook to your iMac, you may inadvertently transfer over the setting that displays your battery status. As an iMac has no battery, you will thus be unable to make the stupid indicator disappear. After much googling to no avail, Snookums helped me search through my preferences and find the relevant line in the "com.apple.systemuiserver.plist" file. Just delete that, logout, and when you login again the indicator will be gone!

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
