[UIImage imageNamed:]

if you use:

[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:]

the image will not be cached.

It turns out that the Apple WebDAVFS (and some other WebDAV client implementations) have problems with the Apache WebDAV.  Just a minor incompatibility, but annoying nonetheless.  There is a configuration change that needs to be made in the httpd.conf to fix this problem:

BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.+" redirect-carefully

This should work for all future 1.x versions of WebDAVFS on OS X. I limited it to 1.x assuming that maybe, just maybe, they might fix this “problem” in version 2.0.

It’s a simple change, and will make Apache “redirect carefully”. For those interested, Apache says:

This forces the server to be more careful when sending a redirect to the client. This is typically used when a client has a known problem handling redirects. This was originally implemented as a result of a problem with Microsoft’s WebFolders software which has a problem handling redirects on directory resources via DAV methods.

If course, I would think it should always be “careful” about redirecting, but that’s just me. Maybe redirecting carelessly is the best default.

So after reinstalling OSX (which seemed to be my only recourse to get the abd sector problem resolved), I decided to look and see if there is something like Salling Clicker that only does the proximity part (which is all that I used).  I found the aptly named Proximity and it perfectly fits the bill.

Unfortunately the Proximity website doesn’t have any applescripts for you to use, so I had to write my own, and I thought I’d write them down here for you lovely readers to use.  I found some part of these at the Technocrat blog.

In Range Script:
-- iTunes
--
tell application "iTunes"
play
end tell
-- Adium
--
tell application "Adium"
go available with message ""
end tell
-- Sync the phone (if not synced in the last 60 minutes)
--
tell application "iSync"
if last sync is less than ((current date) - 3600) then synchronize
end if
end tell
tell application "System Events" to set visible of process "iSync" to false

Out of Range Script:
-- iTunes
--

tell application “iTunes”
if player state is playing then
pause
end if
end tell

– Adium
–
tell application “Adium”
go away with message “I’m not near my computer”
end tell
