BigFoot is a 'desktop critter' for Mac OS X that provides you with a pair of feet (in addition to those you probably already possess). This manual assumes that you have already downloaded a copy of BigFoot; if not, click here for BigFoot's main page at www.sticksoftware.com. It also assumes that you know all the basics of using the Macintosh in Mac OS X, including using the mouse, menus, and windows, and opening and saving files.
Right now this 'manual' is really an FAQ (frequently asked questions) list, because BigFoot is a simple enough app that it doesn't seem to merit a full manual — that would just be a lot of work and would probably be less effective at answering actual user questions. Let us know if you disagree, however; if a full manual is needed for BigFoot, it can be made.
Please send comments on this manual to us at our support email address. Thanks!
Questions
What is BigFoot and what does it do, in a nutshell?
BigFoot is a desktop critter for Mac OS X. It provides you with a pair of feet on your desktop, for your entertainment and amusement. For example, here's a very simple set of feet:
The appearance and behavior of the feet are extremely configurable, so you should be able to create whatever feet your heart desires. For more information on the basic concept of BigFoot, and many more images of possible feet, please check out its home page, which covers this pretty well.
How and where do I install BigFoot?
BigFoot is a breeze to install. Simply copy the BigFoot application into one of the standard OS X locations for applications, such as /Applications, /Applications/Utilities, or ~/Applications (where ~ is your home directory). Feed the platypus mac os. ~/Applications is the typical location used if you do not have Administrator privileges on your OS X machine, or wish BigFoot to be available only to you, not to other users of the machine. /Applications and /Applications/Utilities will make BigFoot available to all users of the machine, but typically require Administrator privileges for you to copy things into them. For more information on this, see Apple's documentation on using OS X.
No further setup is required. Once you've got BigFoot copied to a standard location, just double-click it in the Finder to launch it.
What do all these controls do?
There are lots of controls to explain, but we're not going to spend a lot of time here explaining them. Part of the fun of BigFoot is experimenting and discovering the program. If you want hints on what different controls do, most of them have tooltips. BigFoot is quite bulletproof — you will not hurt anything by experimenting. (Note that is not intended to be a legally binding guarantee. ah, to live in less litigious times. we make no warranty as to BigFoot's lack of bugs, suitability for any purpose, etc., and you assume all risks in using it.) Despite the necessity of the legal disclaimer, you really can just play around and explore the app. You really don't need documentation on each slider. trust us.
OK, but how do I *use* the darn thing?
Ah. Well. BigFoot doesn't have a Dock icon, so it is somewhat unconventional in the way you interact with it. When you first start out, you should see a little notice about this; that notice may be taken less than completely seriously by most people, though, and then you're left with little feet running about that you seem to have no control over whatsoever. (Many parallels to human reproduction here, one might note.)
The key to using BigFoot is the context menu. This is a little pop-up menu that you can get in a few different ways. One way is to hold down , and click on the feet when they are visible. Note that they stop in their tracks when you press , so as to present you with an easier target. Old fashioned slot games. Another way is to double-click on BigFoot's icon in the Finder; BigFoot is already running, but this tells BigFoot you want to interact with it, and so it presents its pop-up menu. A third way, available only if you have a two-button mouse, is to right-click on the feet, rather than control-clicking on them.
The context menu has a Quit item that lets you stop running BigFoot. It also has items that let you bring up various web pages and documentation, one that opens BigFoot's preferences panel, and one that lets you register or deregister BigFoot. Once you get the context menu up, the rest is pretty self-explanatory.
How do I make my own footprint stencils?
BigFoot can generate feet that are Aquatinted, like these:
This is done using the same core engine as in Stick Software's standalone product, Aquatint. Most of Aquatint's controls are not available in BigFoot, so you can do only simple tinting, but that's all most folks will really need. If you really want to get fancy, you can create more sophisticated images using Aquatint, and load them into BigFoot.
BigFoot generates its foot images using 'stencils', in exactly the same way Aquatint does. Stencils must be 32-bit images which have an 8-bit alpha channel (TIFF is the suggested format). This is a very specific image type, and other image types will not work. You should consult your image editing software's manual or technical support for information about how to generate such images; that is outside of the scope of this manual. Aquatint's manual has a fairly useful treatment of this issue, however, which you might want to check out.
Once you've made your own stencils, you can place them in your ~/Library/BigFoot folder, and BigFoot should allow you to choose them using the pop-up menu on each of the image wells in the preferences panel. If the stencils are well-formed, all of BigFoot's various appearance options should work without any further work on your part; consider it magic. If the stencils are not normal stencils (if they are already processed using Aquatint, for example), you should be able to see them as intended by selecting the 'Image colors' colorizing option; the other colorizing options may have somewhat unpredictable effects in this case, since a clear stencil outline may not be present.
What is shareware? How do I pay?
As a closing note, we'd like to remind our readers that BigFoot is a shareware product. While BigFoot is not disabled in any way for non-registered users, it is still required that you pay the shareware fee if you use BigFoot beyond a trial usage. BigFoot costs $10.
We at Stick Software hope that by not disabling our software, we make it easier and less annoying to use, and we hope that more users will register for our software as a result. Please be worthy of our trust. Information on how to pay and other registration details can be found at http://www.sticksoftware.com/software.html, or you can simply pay with a credit card (or other methods) with no further ado at www.kagi.com.

I previously explained how to install SQL Server on a Mac via a Docker container. When I wrote that, SQL Server 2017 was the latest version of SQL Server, and it had just been made available for Linux and Docker (which means that you can also install it on MacOS systems).
In late 2018, Microsoft announced SQL Server 2019 Preview, and subsequently announced general release in late 2019. The installation process for SQL Server 2019 is exactly the same as for SQL Server 2017. The only difference is that you need to use the container image for SQL Server 2019 instead of the 2017 image. Here I show you how to do that.
Also, if you already have SQL Server 2017 installed, and you want to install SQL Server 2019 without removing the 2017 version, you'll need to allocate a different port number on your host. I show you how to do that too.
Docker
The first step is to install Docker. If you already have Docker installed you can skip this step (and jump straight to SQL Server).
Docker is a platform that enables software to run in its own isolated environment. Therefore, SQL Server 2019 can be run on Docker in its own isolated container.
Install Docker
To download, visit the Docker CE for Mac download page and click Get Docker.
Cosplay couple mac os. To install, double-click on the .dmg file and then drag the Docker.app icon to your Application folder.
Launch Docker
Launch Docker the same way you'd launch any other application (eg, via the Applications folder, the Launchpad, etc).
Dawn of man (2019). When you open Docker, you might be prompted for your password so that Docker can install its networking components and links to the Docker apps. Go ahead and provide your password, as Docker needs this to run.
Increase the Memory (optional)
By default, Docker will have 2GB of memory allocated to it. I'd suggest increasing it to 4GB if you can.
To do this, select Preferences from the little Docker icon in the top menu:
Then finish off by clicking Apply & Restart
SQL Server
Automated outpost: europa mac os. Now that Docker has been installed and configured, we can download and install SQL Server 2019.
Download SQL Server 2019
Open a Terminal window and run the following command.
This downloads the latest SQL Server for Linux Docker image to your computer.
You can also check for the various container image options on the Docker website if you wish.
Launch the Docker Image
Run the following command to launch an instance of the Docker image you just downloaded:
Just change
Bartto a name of your choosing, andreallyStrongPwd#123to a password of your choosing.If you get a 'port already allocated' error, see below.
Here's an explanation of the parameters:
-e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y'- The
Yshows that you agree with the EULA (End User Licence Agreement). This is required. -e 'SA_PASSWORD=reallyStrongPwd#123'- Required parameter that sets the
sadatabase password. -p 1433:1433- This maps the local port 1433 to port 1433 on the container. The first value is the TCP port on the host environment. The second value is the TCP port in the container.
--name Bart- Another optional parameter. This parameter allows you to name the container. This can be handy when stopping and starting your container from the Terminal. You might prefer to give it a more descriptive name like
sql_server_2019or similar. -d- This optional parameter launches the Docker container in daemon mode. This means that it runs in the background and doesn't need its own Terminal window open. You can omit this parameter to have the container run in its own Terminal window.
mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest- This tells Docker which image to use.
Password Strength
You need to use a strong password. Microsoft says this about the password:
The password should follow the SQL Server default password policy, otherwise the container can not setup SQL server and will stop working. By default, the password must be at least 8 characters long and contain characters from three of the following four sets: Uppercase letters, Lowercase letters, Base 10 digits, and Symbols.
Error – 'Port already allocated'?
If you get an error that says something about 'port is already allocated', then perhaps you already have SQL Server installed on another container that uses that port. In this case, you'll need to map to a different port on the host.
Therefore, you could change the above command to something like this:
In this case I simply changed
-p 1433:1433to-p 1400:1433. Everything else remains the same.You may now get an error saying that you need to remove the existing container first. To do that, run the following (but swap
Bartwith the name of your own container):Once removed, you can try running the previous command again.
Note that if you change the port like I've done here, you will probably need to include the port number when connecting to SQL Server from any database tools from your desktop. For example, when connecting via the Azure Data Studio (mentioned below), you can connect by using
Localhost,1400instead of justLocalhost. Same with mssql-cli, which is a command line SQL tool.
Check Everything
Now that we've done that, we should be good to go. Let's go through and run a few checks.
Check the Docker container (optional)
You can type the following command to check that the Docker container is running.
In my case I get this:
This tells me that I have two docker containers up and running: one called Bart and the other called Homer.
Connect to SQL Server
Here we use the SQL Server command line tool called 'sqlcmd' inside the container to connect to SQL Server.
Enter your password if prompted.
Now that you're inside the container, connect locally with sqlcmd:
This should bring you to the sqlcmd prompt 1>.
Run a Quick Test
Run a quick test to check that SQL Server is up and running. For example, check the SQL Server version by entering this:
This will bring you to a command prompt 2> on the next line. The Neko Family The Game (chapter 1) (discord novel) Mac OS. To execute the query, enter:
Result:
If you see a message like this, congratulations — SQL Server is now up and running on your Mac!
If you prefer to use a GUI to manage SQL Server, read on.
Azure Data Studio
Azure Data Studio is a free GUI management tool that you can use to manage SQL Server on your Mac. You can use it to create and manage databases, write queries, backup and restore databases, and more.
Azure Data Studio is available on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Here are some articles/tutorials I've written for Azure Data Studio:
Another Free SQL Server GUI – DBeaver
Sasquatch Stadler Mac Os X
Another SQL Server GUI tool that you can use on your Mac (and Windows/Linux/Solaris) is DBeaver.
DBeaver is a free, open source database management tool that can be used on most database management systems (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, Microsoft Access, Teradata, Firebird, Derby, and more).
Sasquatch Stadler Mac Os Update
I wrote a little introduction to DBeaver, or you can go straight to the DBeaver download page and try it out with your new SQL Server installation.
