Over the Hills and Far Away
---------------------------
Hey, lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh, darlin', darlin', darlin', walk a while with me
Oh, you got so much, so much, so much
Many have I loved, many times been bitten
Many times I've ga-yazed along the open road
Many times I've lied and many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know
Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold
Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missin'
Many, many men can't see the open road
Many is a word that only leaves you guessin'
A-guessin' 'bout a thing you really oughta know, hoh, oh, oh, oh
Really oughta know, oh, oh, I really oughta know-whoa, oh-whoa
You know I should, you know I should, you know I should know
Hoo

OS X 10.5: How to create custom Mail stationery
Tue, Nov 6 '07 at 7:30AM PST • Submitted by azchipka Apps
I noticed while looking through new hints that people have noted that some stationery options have display variations. Although the easy way noted in that hint only allows for a few adjustments (such as a color here or there), the stationery can easily be changed if you know how to to develop web pages.
All mail stationery files are self-enclosed web pages, much like a package file. Here's how to create your own.
1. Create your desired stationery using your favorite web development tool.
2. Locate the section of your stationery you would like to be able to adjust when in Mail.app, and enclose it with a span tag, with the following options:

how to create a process log and view last 35 entries

Using Geektool for Mac OS X to disply COMMODE on desktop
local.machine:~ $ script ~/commode.log
Script started, output file is /Users/localuser/commode.log
local.machine:~ $ ssh sdfusername@sdf.lonestar.org
sdf.lonestar.org:~ $ com
This will begin a log on your home machine of whatever is going on in this terminal window.
In this case COMMODE.
From the Geektool Preference Pane create a new command to display.
tail -n 35 ~/commode.log
This should display the last 35 lines of COM on your desktop.
