How to change Mac OS X Terminal setting per SSH host

So, call me crazy, but when I've got a dozen Terminal windows and tabs open at once, and they're all ssh'd to different boxes, it gets hard to remember which host is which. I end up checking the prompt or doing something like hostname to remember where I am. So, I found a way to automatically switch the Terminal settings to color-code my SSH hosts.

I'm very disappointed in the Music app on my iPad. Loses track of album covers, downloads iMatched files even when I skip them, etc.

Decaf coffee is gutless. Soulless. And it smells bad. I am ashamed of myself. I withdraw my application for hip programmer status.

There should be a #drupal module for admins to annotate the build, things like overridden views handlers, etc. Like schema does for db.

Very sad to learn of Steve Jobs' passing. Very sad, but thankful for all his years of work and dedication to perfection.

Super-agree! RT @Brock: I'm going to spend as much time outside as I can while it's between 55 and 70. I'm not missing fall again this year.

Not particularly thrilled that there's a new version of Parallels out, and I have to shell out $49 if I want to upgrade. #dislike

Trying this French press again. Like the saying goes, if you don't fail the horse, you gotta just get back on the train until you do.

Just tried my brother's french press. First time using a press. Man, I did not get those proportions right. :( #coffeefail

Moving back to Debian, like I never left

Last night, I tried to upgrade from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3 on my Arch Linux install on this server. I ended up replacing it with Debian instead.

Hang on, I live in a suburb. Why do I constantly hear a jackhammer in the distance? It sounds like a movie set version of NYC.

You never realize how many assumptions #drupal modules make until you're trying to do something in conflict with their expectations.
