I’ve been hearing around the place that a number of people can’t delete .html files from their trashcan with the OS X 10.4.7 update…

If you are experiencing this problem, then open up the terminal and type cd .trash to be taken to the trashcan folder. You can then use rm $filename to remove the offending file or rm -R $folder name to remove a folder. If you experience any problems doing this then use the sudo command before trying the aforementioned fix.

Be warned it probably won’t ask you if you are sure you want to delete the files, so get it right..

Since 4 Wise Monkeys has been getting so much media attention I have decided to finally start finishing off my RSS Alerter.

This program will watch the Codingo and 4 Wise Monkeys RSS feeds and display a Gmail Notify like alert whenever a new entry has been made. Alternatively, you can choose to have Windows Messaging like alerts shown (see the screenshot below).

I have only allowed this to notify you of Codingo and 4 Wise Monkeys streams presently, but I will have a final version available soon that will let you add any RSS feed you like!

You can download this program by clicking here.
