How could you feel safe without knowing the national alert status? This widget solves this problem by displaying the national alert status in the dashboard. Note that there is no auto-update of the status yet, so you'll have to restart the widget if the status changes...

QuickCommand

QuickCommand is a dashboard application with which you can quickly execute your four most favorite UNIX commands.

The commands that will be executed via the buttons are configurable in the usual widget configuration style. The output of each command is shown in the output window.

Setting up custom routes depending on the network location

Recently on OS X Tiger (10.4)... I wanted to change the routing table depending on the network environment which I am using.

OS X has a pretty neat features that enables you to react to changes in the network (IP address changes, etc). This usually happens if you move around with your mac from one network to another. When a network change is detected, a utility called configd is waken up. This daemon sits in the background and waits for network changes to take place. When network changes do take place, it executes a certain set of commands. A more detailed description of this process can be found at the following links:
