This has not been a good week for me and computers. I came into work, and every single program I tried to run on my Mac in the Finder/Dock ended up executing StuffIt Expander on the contents of the .app package. That sucked. I figured I would delete StuffIt, but couldn’t get the permissions to do it without getting to there terminal. Couldn’t do that because I couldn’t run the application (it’d just try to unstuff it). So, I ended up ssh’ing remotely into my box and su’ing to delete StuffIt. Talk about a royal PITA. Now, I do _need_ stuff it, but I’m thinking that perhaps I shouldn’t reinstall it until I figure out where and how the file associations are stored (Google turns up nothing, but I expect it some cryptic mishmash of resource fork types, extensions, and MIME types. No central control panel to manage any of this, of course. Who said that Macs were easier to use?
Thinking back about it, I think that trying to open a corrupt .sit file may have set this whole ball of wax rolling… StuffIt certainly has a lot of bugs with OSX.
