Chapter six of the novel in my head…
Chapter 6: where our hero stabs the chief of police in the eye with the key to the city, and holes away in the Motel Six on Route 1 with four pounds of atomic fireballs and a stall shower full of bathtub gin.

Our dad @sauldraws has a head cold, his coughing is keeping us awake, we’ve voted - we feel smothering him is what’s best.

Unprotected / Cracking PDFs (Updated)
Inevitably a client has content locked in a protected pdf with no clue as to the password, a number of years ago I came up with a left-handed way to get around pdf copy protection today I found myself staring at a 1000 page protected pdf - too big to try any of the online services, so I gave my somewhat moldy tip another try, still works, I now have a 100% unprotected pdf.
Here’s a link to the updated software

Resetting your AT&T Wireless Voicemail Password
Hopefully this will be as useful to others as it was to me.
- Reset voicemail password from AT&T’s automated system
- Call 611 (from a different cell, not the one you’re resetting) or 800-331-0500.
- Enter the cell number starting with area code.
- Press 3 to “get help with voicemail.”
- Press 2 to reset your VM password.
- Enter the last 4 digits of the SS# for the account holder.
You’ll get a temporary code texted to your phone. surprisingly streamlined process

me: Okay how about I update it every 15 minutes.
client: perfect.

Simple HTTP Server
I’ve been writing tons of Ajaxy goodness lately, lots of concurrent projects each in a different folder, a different drive - and honestly I’m just too lazy to stop and start MAMP or Web Sharing, really I’m that lazy, so I thought it would be pretty handy a AlfredApp extension that would make running a HTTP server from any directory an simple as a keypress.
Usage: Evoke Alfred, Choose a folder, choose the action, Safari will/should open to ‘localhost:8080’ with your directory as the root, if your directory has a index (html/htm) file that should run.
