Run VMware Fusion headless at Mac OS system startup

Run VMware Fusion headless at Mac OS system startup.

I heard you like headless VMs on your Mac so I wrote this script for your launchds.

Assumptions

  • Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with VMware Fusion 2.0.5 and 3.1.1.
  • A interactive user automatically logs into the system at startup. I had some issues trying to get this running without an interactive user logged in. I automatically log in for Airfoil Speakers anyway.
  • Your virtual machines live in /Virtual Machines

Removing 800+ New York Times Audio Digests from Amazon's "Your Content"

Removing 800+ New York Times Audio Digests from Amazon's "Your Content"

I recently started using family sharing to share audiobooks with my family and partner. I wanted to manually select which audiobooks to share by visiting Amazon's "Your content" page.

When I visited that page, to my horror, I had ~800 New York Times Audio Digest "audiobooks", one every day for the past ~2 years, to which I never listened. These entries crowded out my actual audiobooks, making it unfeasible to actually choose and share anything.

Amazon's page also makes it very difficult to clean this up:
