For the longest time I have been using aoeu.info for all my Dvorak information. But some days ago when I needed a Swedish Dvorak keyboard layout for Mac OS X I found the site down. I searched around for a while but couldn’t find any Swedish Dvorak layouts for OS X so I decided to build my own. I found a tool called Ukelele which helps you create your keyboard layout.

Download: OS X Swedish Dvorak keyboard layout version 0.1

The layout looks like this:

And this with the shift key pressed:

And this with the Apple key pressed:

If you have any concerns or questions just post a comment here and I’ll get back to you.

Magnus (from aoeu.info) if you get your site up again I am happy to redirect users from this post to aoeu.info instead. Just post a note here.

Update: aoeu.info is now up and running again!

This week I got my hands on a PowerMac dual G4 Mirror Drive Door that I will use as a video editing station with iMovie.

When I started iMovie I noticed that it had set the default DV format to be DV-NTSC (probably since I use English as my language). iMovie adjusts the format based on the camera hooked in to the system but as I created the project before I hooked my camera to the computer it used NTSC and I was screwed. I did not find any setting in iMovie to change the default format. I did a search in the manual. I searched Google but could not find anything. So I decided to apply some brute force the application folder. In a couple of minutes I found the setting string defaultVideoFormat that said DV-NTSC. Changed it to DV-PAL and I was good to go.

The file you need to change is located in:
/Applications/iMovieHD.app/Contents/Resources/
English.lproj/Localizable.strings
(If you are using some other language than English look in that folder instead)
