everything e-diotic

I am using iTerm on OSX. A nice alternative to the Terminal application delivered as part of the OS. well I use both happily anyway.

I fell of this script called ‘it’ at Mac OS X Hints, which I am using constantly. iTerm has been upgraded on several occasions since and I still use ‘it’.

At some point I cleaned up my bookmarks listing and to my surprise, ‘it’ was still showing old bookmarks. After brief googling I found out that the resource file had changed it’s name from: iTerm.plist to: net.sourceforge.iTerm.plist.

So I changed the script a little and it worked again, check it out if you are using iTerm.
