I recently had to cancel a recurring transaction that popped up on my bank account. I wanted to make sure that it stopped and that I could get my money back. I found this great article that helped me out:Canceling CIC Triple Advantage: Get Your Money Back and Get Justice!

I have to say that the steps worked out like a charm. I was being charged for 3 months by CIC*Tripple Advantage (ie. Free Credit Report.com). I kepted being persistent but polite and was able to get a full refund.

Today I’m releasing a Dashboard widget that will allow you to execute a bash script that will eject all mounted volumes with 1 button click.

To download the widget: Download ejectAllVolumes widget 1.0.1 (Zip file)

For more details check out the ejectAllVolumes project page.

I got some feedback after passing this out to a few friends. Here is what I’ve changed:

• Removed clear
• Output the display message to /dev/null
• Removed echo "complete"

These changes remove any of the outputs to the display. The only time you will receive a message is if you have file that is currently open in an application and the script cannot unmount the volume.

For more details check out the ejectAllVolumes project page.

After some tooling around I’m finally releasing a little bash script called ejectAllVolumes. This script is named after it’s purpose. It will safely eject all mounted volumes from your Mac.
