Neatly Sliced

Earlier this week NeatlySliced.com was transferred to a new host. Before the DNS switched, I wanted to test the new site. The new host uses virtual hosting, which means that I have to change the hidden /etc/hosts OS X file to assign the IP to blog.neatlysliced.com.

Okay, so going to Go > Go To Folder from the finder to access the hidden /etc folder can get pretty redundant. Fortunately, there is a widget that allows editing of your /etc/hosts file with quite a number fewer keystrokes. It does require usage of your admin password, but you can easily delete the password after performing your business.

Download HostsWidget. It is freeware.
