   mouting Samba 3.x from Leopard
   Leopard Dock
   Red Bull food

I finally got Leopard to mount my home server. Never had any problems with Tiger across multiple machines, but Leopard didn't work. All I want to do is mount the volume...

I could connect directly, so I knew everything was accessible:

smbclient //1.2.3.4/public

Anyway, here's the magic that worked for me, from Terminal:

mkdir /Volumes/public
mount -t smbfs //1.2.3.4/public /Volumes/public
open /Volumes/public

The mount prompts for password, you can specify a different user if you need, too.

Leopard Dock

Can't stand the new Dock in Leopard, found this to remove the huge slab of white behind the icons:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES

Then either logout, or quit Dock through Activity Monitor.

Red Bull food

Does anyone make food using Red Bull as one of the ingredients? Like, chicken pasta with Red Bull sauce, or maybe snickerdoodle cookies with Red Bull. Surely someone has tried some stuff like that.

I think this is an untapped market, especially for the raver party crowd. You get hungry partying all night, right? But what can you eat? How about a nice piece of Red Bull cake to go with your Red Bull + vodka. Or maybe bar peanuts dipped in Red Bull.
