I’ve needed this a few times and been lazy about it. Finally got around to looking it up. Quote the path and double-escape the spaces… I’d have never just guessed it, though maybe would have figured it out if I had spent some time reading through the documentation. Thanks, Nick. Saved me a huge chunk of time there.

Shows how to find the address of the DHCP server that issued your current lease on a Mac.
Similar to ‘show ip dhcp lease’ on Cisco, ‘ipconfig /all’ on Windows, or one of… well, I guess I’m not sure how to tell with dhcpcd OR dhclient under Linux. Something else to figure out at some point.

Printing in black and white. Probably would have figured this one out if I had looked around long enough, but it just seems to be more intuitive (to me) on Windows and Linux. One of the things I’ve found most interesting about this experience thus far is, for the claim I’ve often heard that Mac is just simpler and more intuitive… for me, it’s not. There’s a fair chance that that experience could change as I become more accustomed to the way Apple has laid out the environment, but as a crossover… it’s not that way for me 🙂
I recently purchased an older iMac to get some one-on-one time with the interface, just in case I ever have a need to know or the time and focus to work on a project I have an idea for that I would like to compile natively across several environments. It’s a bit of an odd setup, probably especially for an iMac. I have an existing el cheapo KVM switch that I use with a Windows and a Linux box, and I have a wireless keyboard designed for Windows that’s tied into that system. Makes the keyboard mappings just a little more interesting.
So, from time to time, I’ll be posting things tagged with “useful Mac links” providing links or information I’ve found useful/interesting/annoying as I work with the Mac, from the perspective of someone who frequently gets under the hood on other platforms, prefers the shell to a GUI, and engineers IP networks as a day job.
A couple of interesting things I’ve run across thus far.

Need to get back into this again as well, now that the network and systems are approaching a state of decent preparation for it. Couple of good links off of this article.

Looks interesting. It has sometimes felt like there’s a lack of bidirectionality between blogging and social media accounts, and Livefyre looks like it might be one piece in completing the circle. Of course, there are other things that would help with that as well, but finding the time to learn and understand them is sometimes challenging.
