It was another great afternoon as a group continued developing their blogs and websites.  Blogs from to crafty creative projects to documenting an-animation-in-process are coming together and looking fantastic. The drop-in program runs every Thursday from 3-6PM, so be sure to drop by! events/youth-drop-in-program

So I was having trouble watching The Office on hulu the other night due to an extremely slow network connection, but then I decided to look closely at my network traffic for a little while and see what I was actually sending/receiving.  This was very enlightening.  Excited about the information I found, I decided to also see which processes on my computer might be slowing down my machine.  This is what I came up with – a pretty good list of things you can do to speed up your Internet and your computer in general.

There are some simple things you can do, like disabling drop-shadows using ShadowKiller and manually running maintenance scripts that might not have run automatically when they were supposed to.  There are a bunch of tips for speeding up specific applications (Safari, Firefox, Mail, iCal, Office, iTunes, iPhoto, etc), but this isn’t exactly what I am interested in.

The first thing to do is open Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor and see if there are any processes that are taking up an insane amount of CPU.  This has been known to happen with Quicksilver and other system processes. If you find one that looks fishy, it!

Most of the suggestions from Why is OSX so damn slow? on ask.metafilter are covered here.

Spotlight

I use Quicksilver, so I don’t need Spotlight constantly indexing my computer.  Completely Disable Spotlight Someone please tell me if there is another reason I should keep Spotlight enabled…
sudo su
chmod 0000 /Library/Spotlight
chmod 0000 /System/Library/Spotlight
chmod 0000 /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle
chmod 0000 /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Spotlight.prefPane
chmod 0000 /System/Library/Services/Spotlight.service
chmod 0000 /System/Library/Contextual Menu Items/SpotlightCM.plugin
chmod 0000 /System/Library/StartupItems/Metadata
chmod 0000 /usr/bin/mdimport
chmod 0000 /usr/bin/mdcheckschema
chmod 0000 /usr/bin/mdfind
chmod 0000 /usr/bin/mdls
chmod 0000 /usr/bin/mdutil
chmod 0000 /usr/bin/md

After a reboot, open a new Terminal and do sudo su to make a root shell, then:

rm -r /.Spotlight-V100
rm -r /private/var/tmp/mds
exit

If you do want to completely disable Spotlight, you can also just zConsolidate Captiveslut Ca Categories Sell 710 Actualizaciones Anifiscal V2 Image Sportsmans Marine Tullow Carlow Captive Slut Recent Feed Items | eyebeam.orgz Slut dConsolidate Captiveslut Ca Categories Sell 710 Actualizaciones Anifiscal V2 Image Sportsmans Marine Tullow Carlow Captive Slut Recent Feed Items | eyebeam.orge j i Slut Captive Captive
