![Canon CanoScan LiDE 500F](/media/canoscanlide500f.jpg)A while ago I [wrote about my problems](http://www.kremalicious.com/2007/06/finally-a-universal-scanner-driver-for-the-canon-canoscan-lide-500f-for-intel-macs/) finding a universal scanner driver from Canon for my CanoScan LiDE 500F to use it under Mac OS X. The solution was the Canon Asia website where a universal driver version was available. But since then Apple released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in october 2007 and the Canon driver with the version 11.2.4.0X stopped working on this new operating system.

![Aperture Scanning](/media/aperturescan.png)Wouldn't that be great? Hook up your scanner, fire up Aperture, click on Import and the images coming directly from your scanner plate? Although my scanner is shown as a source in the import dialogue you can't import images with it directly from Aperture. But using Preview/Image Capture and Automator you can bypass this limitation. So here's what you can do to scan directly into Aperture in 3 simple steps.

![Niepce's Aperture Vault](/media/niepces_aperture_vault256.png)When on the road I always take a little mobile hard drive with me where all my referenced Aperture Masters from the past years and my mobile Aperture Vault (backing up the un-referenced Masters from the current year) reside. But being little and mobile also means the external hard drive can easily be lost or stolen exposing all my pictures to the thief. To avoid that you can use encryption so in the case of a lost or theft the data is not accessible by the thief. This can easily be done with [sparse bundle disk images](http://db.tidbits.com/article/9673) so you won't have to encrypt the whole hard drive with additional software.

![Architect icon](/media/architect-icon.jpg)There's good news for all you Mac OS X Leopard GUI Themer out there. While there's Panic's [Candybar](http://www.panic.com/candybar) for icon customization in OS X there is no application to alter all the user interface elements of Leopard. In Tiger there was an application called ShapeShifter but since the whole GUI in Leopard changed it stopped working. Architect and Façade to the rescue.

There're many reasons you might want to browse anonymously which can be accomplished by using [Tor](https://www.torproject.org). The setup instructions on Tor's website are quite scattered and outdated so here're some steps to setup Tor on OS X with a simple automated script at the end.

The most simple way to surf anonymously with Tor is to just grab the [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en) bundle.
But it's based on a super old version of Firefox. And there might be more you want to do anonymously on your machine than just browsing the web, like accessing resources via the Terminal or any other app. Or just use the browser you're used to.

Congratulations, you now have Tor running on your system. But none of your network traffic is routed through it yet.
In order for all your system traffic being routed through Tor you need to adjust your system's network proxy settings which you can either do visually in the System Preferences or programmatically via OS X's builtin `networksetup`.

When you're already in the Terminal to start up Tor, additionally setting the network settings invloves a lot of fiddling around. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Thankfully OS X provides a way to programmatically set those proxy values via the `networksetup` utility. I've found a [nice script](http://leonid.shevtsov.me/en/an-easy-way-to-use-tor-on-os-x) for this but running it opened multiple admin password prompts. So I extended it a bit to make it more user friendly.

In a nutshell, this shell script asks you for your admin password upfront, starts up Tor, and sets all required proxy network settings automatically:
