Automate Today's Terminal Tips
If you don't like having to go to the trouble of launching the Terminal yourself and typing all the commands, then there's an Automator alternative available to automate today's two Terminal tips. Mac OS X Downloads is hosting a Repair Permissions/Verify Preference Files Automator Action app which basically runs both a repair of permissions and a verification of Preferences via the Terminal. All you have to do is provide your Administrator password in each Terminal window that launches.

I love Otto. How about you guys throw up a link to a TUAW-created automator action for the tips you post? Kind of like a Podcast, but an Ottocast?

OK, seriously.. I know this has been discussed and this is pretty much off topic for this post, but damn, that automator icon is the coolest. Lamest. Post. Ever.
