The Digital Streets blog posts a tip on how to send Twitters from a command line using a little utility named cURL. The blog shows the command to install cURL in Ubuntu, but the app is available for Linux, Unix and OS X, and Windows as well. Once you're set up, the terminal terminology is:curl -u yourusername:yourpassword -d status="Your Message Here" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xmlYou could save yourself a bit of time by putting most of that text into your preferred text replacement app, or setting up a terminal shortcut. Either way, it could be a convenient way to get at some of Twitter's more useful features, like setting GCal events, read more »

Weblog Digital Inspiration dives into the Windows command line prompt, serving up several useful command line shortcuts and a few worthwhile tweaks for customizing the command line to your liking. Apart from an overview of some of the more useful function keys and their effects (which we've covered before, and of which F7 is the king), the post also covers simple-but-useful tweaks, like how to change the color scheme of the window. For instance, if you want to have a white background with black text, type color F0 and press enter. To revert to the original color scheme, type color without any arguments. For a list of all available colors, type color /? on the command line.Tweaking the color may seem superfl read more »

Windows only: Sweeping through your system and deleting unnecessary files feels great—until you realize you've just permanently wiped your master contact spreadsheet. Avoid that kind of over-zealous deletion with fsLock, a free Windows tray utility that prevents a list of files from being deleted, moved, renamed, modified, or otherwise touched. The utility has to be running to work, of course, and it used about 8K of memory on my Vista laptop, but I couldn't mess with my chosen files inside Windows. It's not a privacy or security tool, as you can get to the files through another OS or before booting, but it keeps your files safe from the casual destruction of "Select All->Delete." fsLock is a free download for Windows systems only.

Windows Vista only: Windows XP users with a serious Mac crush have FlyakiteOSX to make their desktop resemble, if not work like, a Mac, but Vista users—even those upgraded to Service Pack 1—now have Vista OS X for a similar OS paint job. The installer (unfortunately) requires that you disable User Account Control to move forward, but you'll get screensavers, wallpapers, a "Dock," and more goodies, all accessible from the basic "Themes" menu. The gHacks blog states that the theme completely uninstalls itself when you're ready to move back to Windows; I haven't tried it myself, so let us know you read more »

Ruby on Rails is a free framework that allows you to create web applications having a database back end. As compared with other frameworks, it does not require a high quantity of source code in order to deploy a certain type of web application, like content management systems, virtual stores, blogs and more. Due to this fact, the development of web applications using Ruby on Rails will take place faster.

As Windows user, one of the strangest things about Mac OS is a running, active application can be in focus without any actual windows open. If you use Command+Tab to switch between apps and don't want to get stuck in no-open-window limbo, use the following key sequence to open a new window on your way there: Hold down Command+Tab, then press Option, then release Command. It doesn't work for all applications, but it does for Safari and Terminal at least.

You can have both a Mac and a PC on a single computer, using Apple's new Boot Camp software. Boot Camp lets you install Windows on your Mac in addition to Mac OS X.
