How to move Camino bookmarks to Safari

Thursday, July 17th, 2003
Camino is a Mozilla-based browser that uses the native Mac OS X graphics API instead of Mozilla’s cross-platform stuff. Safari is Apple’s KHTML-based web browser. Unfortunately there is no obvious way to convert Camino bookmarks to Safari bookmarks.

  1. In Camino, select Camino->Export Bookmarks…, saving the bookmarks (e.g. as ~/Desktop/camino-bookmarks.html).
  2. In Internet Explorer, select Favorites->Organize Favorites, (which despite being a hierarchical menu item actually does something on its own) opening the Favorites window
  3. With the Favorites window in front, select File->Import Favorites…
  4. Select the camino bookmarks file
  5. Quit Internet Explorer
  6. Make sure Safari is not running
  7. In Terminal, type this all in one line:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IEFavoritesWereImported 0
  8. Run Safari
You will now have a bookmark folder called “Imported IE Favorites”, inside of which are all your Camino bookmarks. Hurrah!

XDR RAM from Rambus

Sunday, July 13th, 2003
There’s an article on XbitLabs “Rambus, Toshiba and Elpida Announce XDR DRAM”. Is this Rambus’ attempt to stay relevant to the consumer market? I don’t think I would buy a Rambus product if my life depended on it. They should seriously think about rebranding. It was way successful for Goldstar (now LG), eh?
