Firefox sync : what the fuck is going on?!

I had the idea that Opera was the only browser that the Sync is in fact Shit, really.
Now as I can see, I am unable to proper sync firefox bookmarks between 3 different systems.

Then I found on the sync logs that the shit cannot be sync because "Could not authenticate: No keyFetchToken" and the 'nice' of this story is there was not even a fucking VISIBLE notification error message, instead I had to dig into those shit logs, thanks to the fucking idiot(s) firefox dev(s) that is(are) involved with the (shit)sync procedure.

Editing Savegame of Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, on OSX

Its just a couple of days that we got the Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, for the mac.
Its a nice game, and we enjoy it, the only problem is that save game editors for this game (Baldur's Gate save games) are for PC's only.

I found so far that the (windows) program EE Keeper can be run under wine , but it asks for the installation folder. After some trial and error I found that this works very well under OSX :

First of all setup the wine (wine config) so the Z: drive is the root (/) of the mac, then launched the EE Keeper and configure the installation folders as:

Installation Directory: 
Z:\Applications\IcewindDale.app\Contents\Resources\

User Save Data Directory:
Z:\Users\user01\Documents\Icewind Dale - Enhanced Edition\save\

(The game save files are located under the user's Documents)

Also enable the option "Use Custom Save Location"

so simple, as the EE Keeper, just needs to access the Resources files from the game.


FileZilla , the nice FTP client that serves you with malware

I used FileZilla since the version 1..something, then later its developers started to follow what the cnet and some other losers do : free malware "offers" into the installer, like the mackeeper or PUP.optional , or whatever shit they put.

Way better alternatives: FireFTP , Cyberduck or better : ncftp ;-)
