I never really liked downloading an app, copying it from the dmg to the Applications folder. Unzipping it, moving it… The Mac AppStore is nice, klick-and-install. It also lists you all the apps you ever installed. Which is handy, of you move to a new mac. The same process actually exists with the handy command line tool homebrew cask as well for apps that are not in the Mac AppStore.
homebrew cask install google-chrome
And you got the latest version of google Chrome installed. If you know how to deal with homebrew, you know how to deal with casks.
It´s also easy to make you own casks:
homebrew cask create Volkersfreunde
cd /usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze-cask/Casks
git add Volkersfreunde.rb
git commit -m”Just added a new cask”
Just start a pull request, and the world is a better place. I´ve added 3 recipes already.
Cask can manage dmgs, zips, installers, quicklook plugins and some other types. The hardest part is to get the sha256 hash of the downloaded file.
shasum -a 256
does the trick.
What are your favourite apps, available as cask recipes? This is my current list:

Weil Volker natürlich auch außerhalb von Facebook und Google+ Freunde hat, hier auch noch einmal die Erwähnung unseres/meines Reiseblog mit Video und Foto und Texten.
Andy ist noch 2 Tage dabei, Ligi mussten wir vor einer Woche in Rajasthan zurück lassen, weil dort in der Wüste die Musik besser war 😉 Seine Abenteuer, die bis in den Mai andauern werden gibt es unter LigINdia.blogspot.com.
If you want your iMac or macMini to use suspend-to-disc use the following command:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3
found at German IT magazine heise.de. A complete explanation of the modes in English can be found at http://www.macworld.com/article/1053471/sleepmode.html

smaller but also good
just in case:
untested:
If you´re in Berlin and you need some sort of video/photo equipment, I can highly recommend 25p cine support. They even have a quadrotor to carry a GoPro that you can rent.
I´ve rented a battery, and even though I had it for 5 days, they only charged me for 3 days of useage.
Replacing the disk
Yesterday, Andy and I opened up his MacMini in order to replace the optical drive with a SSD. Actually, his HDD switched over to the optical bay, and the new SSD was placed in the harddrive bay.
I went quite smooth, the only special thing you need is the “Mac-Mini-Logic-Board-Removal-Tool”. It´s a piece of thick wire bent the right way, and it is worth every penny (6,95€), unless you buy it directly from Apple (39,95€).
Don´t forget to have a set of screwdrivers laying around as there are funny star shaped screws in the MacMini!
I was also using a “spudger” for the first time. It´s also a good tool to keep around.
