			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Timmy, my dog, as good a companion as any could have wanted, has passed away today.</p>
<p><span id="more-115"></span>After 17 years of friendship, my first dog Timmy has been put down today.  He suffered a large fit late on last night and the vet had to be called to put him down.</p>
<p>Frisky as a puppy and as loyal as any dog you could wish for, Timmy was a beloved family pet and has passed on tonight.  Known a lot as Timbo (no idea or reason why!), he&#8217;s at peace now and will not be forgotten.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Locational changes to the dashboard and application settings for Mac OS X.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I travel into and back from University every day and am thus constantly changing the networking settings on my PowerBook due to the different networks I&#8217;m using at home, university (VPN stylee) and having to switch wireless networking off for the train journeys (saving battery).</p>
<p>What I would like is some sort of system wide change dependant upon the network location I&#8217;m in.<br />
<span id="more-114"></span></p>
<p>
For example, when in a networked area I always run a few widgets to pull things off the web, like flickrframe and a wikipedia widget.  What would be nice is when I switch to a non networked location, these widgets would disappear off my dashboard until I get back onto a network.
</p>
<p>
Another issue I have is with Safari, whenever I launch it I am always taken to this site, which is fair enough if I&#8217;m on a network.  But wouldn&#8217;t it be better to take me to a different location when there&#8217;s no network available (such as <code>http://localhost</code>), I do a lot of work on the train and it annoys the hell out of me when I launch Safari to be presented with a page telling me I&#8217;m not connected to the Internet &#8211; no shit, that&#8217;s why I changed the location in the first place!
</p>
<p>
I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re are other arguments for and against doing this, but it would be nice to have something available to do it for you.<br />
