A simple utility that checks for all of your Mac’s serial ports and copies the information to your clipboard.

Nobody at “cmiyc.com” or “cmiyc.org” will send you email. In fact, I don’t even have an outgoing mail server setup. So if you receive emails from me, a spammer is forging my domain name in the email headers.

There is little that can prevent this, since it is something that happens in between you and I. All I can say, it is perfectly safe to drop any emails that appear to come from “cmiyc.com”.

More information about this type of attack, referred to as a “Joe Job”, can be found in this Wikipedia Article.

Version 0.5.0 of MacCaching can be downloaded from its own site at maccaching.com

Here is a direct link to MacCaching 0.5.0.

Visit http://www.maccaching.com/latest for a “Christmas” build of MacCaching. Among the new features is an iPod Paperless Caching feature!

MacCaching has taken off a little faster than I had thought. Turns out many others are interested in Mac-Geocaching software. Since cmiyc.com was a originally my personal site (and really my web sandbox), I’ve decided to move MacCaching. The first thing to go is the Blog. The main site is now: maccaching.com and the blog is maccaching.com/blog. Everything else (news, downloads, and latest) will be mirrored between the two sites for a month or so.

Lifehacker has put together a description of what they call the modern day pirate hunt. This is their way to honor the soon to be DVD, Pirates of the Caribbean movie coming to DVD. It describes the basics of Geocaching. This is probably a good article for friends you’d like to introduce to Geocaching.

Turns out my complier isn’t creating i386 (Intel) binaries correctly. So this is a quick fix for Intel users. If you already downloaded 0.2.4 and have a PPC-based Mac, there’s no need to download this one.

On today’s PodCacher.com pod-cast I heard that Groundspeak launched the Unite For Diabetes Travel Bug Promotion to help raise awareness for diabetes worldwide. They have a limited number of travel bugs which they will ship anywhere in the world, for free! The goal for each Travel Bug is to reach its city and circulate throughout the city’s geocaches, spreading diabetes awareness as it goes.

There is a sign-up page there if you’d like to try get one of the specially designed travel bug tags with a blue diabetes ring. Visit the main site for more information.
