Finder is crashing over and over again as it’s attempts to view the Desktop folder. Something is on there it doesn’t like.
Fire up Terminal.app, type pwd and press enter and likely you are shown /Users/youraccount.
Taking a look inside this folder by entering ls, which equates to ‘list’, you should by now realize where you are as you see a list of all files on your Desktop. We go here to weed out the bastard.
Let’s clear the whole mother off by entering rm -rf ./*. Wait… Let’s just delete the .sit files which persuaded us to download Stuffit in the first place by entering rm -rf ./*.sit.
While I’m in here I’m just going to delete the bazillion past-week random file saves entering rm -rf ./Untitled.* which will whack all files named that regardless of the file extension.
And for future reference, a string of particulars can follow the slash so as to remove multiple files of various attributes; In which case, rm -rf ./r* lo* .p*, would delete all files in which names begin with r, lo, and those in which the file extension name begins with p.
Enter your MX records in the Account Center under your domain. No need to set up DNS in Plesk unless you know what you are doing. Reset DNS to default in Plesk if you don’t know what you are doing in there.
Create the following 7 MX records in the (mt) Account Center:
1 aspmx.l.google.com.
5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.
5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
10 aspmx2.googlemail.com.
10 aspmx3.googlemail.com.
10 aspmx4.googlemail.com.
10 aspmx5.googlemail.com.
Priority: 1, should be entered in the data field preceding the address: aspmx.l.google.com.
The leading numbers: 1,5,5,10,10,10, and 10, denote required priority. The trailing “.” must be in place for each record.

Find a location at google maps. Once your at the position you can, having already bookmarked this (drag to your toolbar), click that link and a pop-up will provide you the lat and long.
I am going to write down the steps I took in creating and employing my new Favicon. That little scribbled icon in the URL field. This is a response to several people who have asked me how to do this in the last week. I Hope this helps them get themselves through the process.
The Graphics
- I needed a 16 X 16 pixel graphic. I didn’t bother using Photoshop. It needs a plugin from telegraphics in order to export the file type I need (.ico).
- To make things easy I used an online Favicon Editor.
Using the Favicon Editor I was able to create the favicon.ico image file I needed and save it to my Desktop.
The Code / Making It Work
- I uploaded my new favicon.ico from my Desktop to my sites Root directory. I used the FTP application in Coda to upload it.
- I placed the following line of code between the
<head></head> tags in my html document: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://joshuavaage.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
- I visited my website and enjoyed seeing that it worked.
My favicon.ico is now properly referenced in my HTML and displays in the browser address bar.
