neoneoism

secrets is an app for changing hidden settings in os X. I found this the other day while bored, and I was able to change some things that where bugging me… and some I never thought of. The reason I was looking to change settings was the fact that itunes 8 no longer allows you to hide the genre of music while browsing. Now fixed

Another thing I found was the ability to change the dock to a 2d version.. which, in my opinion looks better than the 3d shelf. 

2d dock

There are many other settings to change.. and, as of now, I have not fully gone through them.

I read yesterday that night clubs are going to lose the late closing hours that they currently have. This baffles me… the closing times they have now are crazily early as it is. The way things stand now, come 2am everyone is dumped into the street and left to their own devices… great idea! Nothing bad could come from this… All those people queueing for food and taxies… of course there is not going to be some idiots that have nothing better to do at this time than start shit… that would never happen.

Making the closing times earlier is only going to increase the chances of trouble. People will drink more in less time and get dumped onto the street with a feeling of being ripped off and not having had enough. According to the irish government this is the way forward… and, as we all know, the people writing the laws are well versed on the realities of their decisions…. well it would only make sense if they where.. right? 

This is a problem with some very simple solutions.. and I have taken the time out of my busy life to figure it out for them:

1) Clubs will remain open much longer then they currently are (this will be left to the descrition of the club owners.. and you know.. the people who work there) , this will allow people to leave when they actually want to and reduce the amount of people on the streets at any given time. 

2) The smoking areas in clubs will be made much bigger, if not the whole club. Giving people who smoke a chance to see more of the club than just a dingy over crowded room. 

3) The door fees for clubs will be abolished (except in certain circumstances.. as shown below) There is really no point to this and the slows the whole process of getting people into the club. 

4) Life music will be provided as often as possible. Listening to a band is always better than some DJ. (door fees are OK for these times.. but that is up to the band)

5) Clubs that stay open past 6am can, if they choose, provide coffee and breakfast for the crowd. This will make the journey home much nicer for all involved. (Door fees are also allowed in this case)
