FUSE your Mac
Well yesterday I upgraded my version of MacFUSE and SSHFS. I have to say, I’m much more impressed this time 
Because I’m using a Powerbook, I close the lid a lot when I’m going away from the comp. Of course this puts the laptop into sleep mode, which means the network goes down. Upon opening the lid, the network is brought back up.
I was using MacFUSE 0.3 before, and upon the network connection breaking and being remade, it would randomly decide to either:
a) Prompt me for my password and reconnect
b) Rudely fail to reconnect, causing MacOSX to tell me that the mount had broken and would I like to force eject it
c) Fail to do either of the above, and just freeze the Mac Finder when the Finder tried to probe the mounted file systems
Sometimes option C would also cause the whole computer to freeze, depending on what program I had open that were polling the filesystem. MacFUSE / SSHFS 1.0 nicely fixes this, and now always performs option a if the connection is out for long enough for the SSH connection to time out. V.nice
I’m also blogging from Dashboard using the official Google Blogger Widget now, which is why there is a flurry of posts. Just hit F12 and blog I don’t know how to edit the HTML (add links and images etc), or set the title from the widget though. Sigh. Still, it’s easier to add that later than to make 100 posts on the fly
