Fun with Terminal

[iipeeweex]

So I've been playing with Terminal a lot lately, i now these are old Commands but there so fun.
Just thought id share them with you incase you get bored. Again these Commands are very old and i suppose pretty much useless. Enjoi

-Open Terminal
-type "emacs" (without speech marks)
-pres "esc" and "x" together
-then type one of these commands ...
5x5
blackbox
decipher
pick up sho
gomoku
hanoi
mpuz
pong
snake
solitaire
tetris

Type them exactly as i wrote them, no CAPS
Doesn't take a genius to figue out what they are so spare the explanation.

Oh, Also. i find this very entreating too
-Open Terminal
type "say" and then anything you want, turn you volume up and enjoi.

----------

I forget to add. You can also get terminal to wish you a Happy Birthday.
Again pretty useless but fun to watch for the 1st time

-open terminal
-type "emacs"
-Press enter
-press "esc" and "x" together
-type "animate"
-press enter
-type your name or anything your heart desires

iTunes hidden Dock setting

So theres a nice little tweak for iTunes app, that can be activated from Terminal. this will allow a small speech bubble like node to pop up on the dock when itunes plays a song. I personally love this little tweak. give it a shot


-First, quit iTunes
-open Terminal and type the following:

defaults write com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image -bool TRUE;killall Dock

--you can copy and paste it if you want? exactly how it is
-open itunes and play a song. Sorted! its pretty cool
-if you still cant see it you can simply restart your mac

-if you wish to deactivate this, again its just another simple command. ill type it below so you can just copy and paste it in to Terminal.

-open Terminal
-type --

defaults delete com.apple.dock itunes-notifications
defaults delete com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image;killall Dock

-Enter
All done. iTunes is back to its normal self

after entering "emacs" be sure to press enter. i didn't really mention that too clear.
press enter after each command.

theres nothing that can harm you mac with these commands. there only for fun
