Mac OSX stuff

Just a couple of tricks, first updating the software. Apple has provided the commandline tool softwareupdate which can be used like this:

softwareupdate -i -r

To do installs and updates of the various OS specific and Apple software. Its not Ports, or even APT but its better than nothing I suppose. Another one that is often not known about is the built in, system wide spell checker. Check on the edit menu of alot of applications to see what the shortcut is.
