macOS Tip: Hide the Desktop

February 25, 2021

Found this great tutorial on how to temporarily hide the icons on your macOS desktop. I’ve used it several times, so I thought I’d share it here.

In a nutshell:

# Hide icons
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false
killall Finder

# Unhide icons
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true
killall Finder

This is quite useful for making your desktop a little bit cleaner while screen sharing. It also doubles as a potential prank…

A Thing That Happened II

Continuing on from the previous post in the series.

The Notes Archive

February 9, 2021

This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while. My site now has an archive of many of my notes from BCA!

Hopefully this will be helpful to those who might need a review for class, are absent for extended periods of time, or just want to check them out.

Note that while I take notes in nearly all of my classes, some classes may be missing; only notes that meet my standards for neatness are on this site. (you do not want to see my other notes – they’re far too messy.)

Check it out here! It’ll be continually updated.
