Integrate Google Wave into your OS X system with Fluid

My Dock

Want to have Wave as a standalone application, with a badge that reflects the number of unread waves?
Follow these steps:

  1. Download the excellent Fluid.app

  2. Run it and create a new application like this:

    Launch Fluid.app and create it like this

    Download the icon I used here and make sure to select it in the appropriate dialog dropdown.

  3. Launch the application. When Wave loads for the first time, it’ll think you’re using an unsupported browser. This is not true, since Fluid.app is Webkit-based. Disregard this message and press continue. Google will remember this setting.

  4. To get the badge count functionality, I developed this userscript. Unzip it, go to the Google Wave applications, find the plugins menu and click Browser Usersripts Folder. Drop the file there and then make sure it’s enabled.

  5. One last useful setting for any Fluid.app you create is to make sure it doesn’t unload the website when you press ⌘ + W. Make sure only hides the window is checked:

Get ssh-copy-id in Mac OS X

There’s a very convenient shell script bundled with some distributions of OpenSSH called ssh-copy-id. It seems not to be the case with Leopard’s SSH.

In order to get it, we can simply check it out of a SVN repository. Execute this two commands:

sudo curl "http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/cvsweb/openssh/contrib/ssh-copy-id?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain" -o /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id

And you’re done!
