Here is a screen of a personal icon I’ve been working on. Inspired by Mark Jardine and his pastebot app. :)

Here is a screen of the Dashcode Widget I built with Dashcode and Photoshop.

How to view the System Processes and Performance on a Mac

Navigate to:

/Applications/Utilities folder/Activity Monitor

The Activity Monitor on the Mac is the equivalent of the Task Manager in Windows

The Activity Monitor displays the system processes, CPU/memory usage.

via Computer Tips and Tricks: Mac: View System Processes and Performance.

Viewing memory usage with top

1. Open Terminal located at /Applications/Utilities/.

2. Type: top

3. Press Return to open the top utility in the Terminal window. Two rows near the top of the window, “PhysMem:” and “VM:” indicate overall physical RAM and virtual memory usage, respectively. The two columns on the right, “RSIZE” and “VSIZE” offer memory usage information per application. RSIZE indicates the amount of physical RAM in use by the application or process, in megabytes “M” or kilobytes “K”. VSIZE indicates the amount of virtual memory Mac OS X has assigned for this process or application, in megabytes “M” or gigabytes “G”.

4. When you are finished reviewing the information, press the Q key to exit top.

Notes

1. Application and process names are listed in the “COMMAND” column.

2. It is normal for some processes to use very little RAM, such as 64K.

3. Not all applications may have an easily-recognizable name in the Terminal window. For example: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.1 appears as “Internet E.”

4. As with Process Viewer, Classic applications do not appear individually in the Process Listing window. It is normal for the Classic environment to appear as a single process TruBlueEnv.

5. top itself is listed because it is an open application. This is normal.

6. Type “man top” in the Terminal for more information on top.

Tax Poem

Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he’s fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think..

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won’t be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He’s good and sore..

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he’s laid.

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
‘Taxes drove me to my doom…’

When he’s gone,

Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.
