I use the well-known Google Reader Notifier to … well … to know when new feeds arrive in my Google account. What I discovered today is that I can Command-click to star an item and mark it as read without opening it. If you only press Command while the application menu is open, it will change the description of the feed with a message to that effect.

I’ve been using Mail for a long while with POP accounts. Recently I decided to stop using POP and switch all my accounts to IMAP. I simply disabled my POP accounts (not deleted at all yet) and set up the IMAP ones. Everything worked perfectly until I decided to move important messages from my Mac to the IMAP accounts (you do ithis in the same way as if you where moving messages between different mailboxes). The problem was that moving messages wasn’t reliable — sometimes messages got uploaded, while other times they became grayed out, but nothing happened.

I recently got rid of the machine I was using to host these sites, and migrated everything over to the Mac Pro. As part of that process, I had to install MySQL, which is basically a very simple operation. Just download the proper package from their downloads page, and run the installer.

When I did this, though, I didn’t notice that the default download is MySQL version 5; for compatibility reasons, I actually wanted MySQL 4.1. Unfortunately, I got all the way through the install before I noticed that I had installed version 5. So I removed the MySQL 5 files in /usr/local, downloaded the 4.1 version, and ran its installer. Unfortunately, the installer told me I couldn’t install 4.1, as I already had a newer version of …
